Needing Help
Posted: 11-23-03 18:20pm

I posted this in the e.D. Forum too, but I just need someones help soon.

When I was 12 I developed and eating disorder due to stress at school and the custody battle that was going on between my mom and dad. I got well and things in the house were better until now. My mom was diagnosed with bi-polar earlier this year and last week she overdosed on sleeping pills and has been at a behavioral center since. Since then I have felt the same feelings of ana like I did before. I find it harder not only because I love the control I have with it, but because I also have ocd and find my mind telling me that I have to do so much of something before I can eat. Like I have to run 2 miles, do 50 sits ups, etc before I am aloud to eat or something will happen to my sisters. I just don't know what to do about these feelings. The last time I battled with anorexia I hurt my family so badly, but it felt so good to have the control. I just need some help figuring things out.

Ocd
Posted: 11-24-03 00:27am

Hey


hey I was diagnosed with ocd in janaury of this year and I know how u feel.. Are u talkin any medication for it? I am on celexa and it has done wonders for me.. I still get parnoid and think that something bad is always gonna happen... I think your eating disorder is connected to your ocd..If your not on meds I would strongly suggest u talk to a doctor about them.. As for the eating disorder it is something you can fight.. Dont not eat or purge its not worth it.. Good luck

I just read a book called "kissing doorknobs" it is about ocd. I dont have it, but that book helped to me realize a lot of things about it. I hope that you are able to make it through...What about like a doctor or something...Good luck in everything that you do...I feel really bad about your madre...

Loads of love, stacie

I don't take meds for it because it makes me feel weird and not in control. I know it sounds odd since ocd doesn't give you much control but I feel like a robot on meds. I am working really hard to fight the e.D. Because I have had about a million people tell me today that I am too thin as is and that I have the 'perfect' stomach. I just don't feel like I have control over anything anymore. Well anyway thats for listening and thats for the replies! It means the world to me!
