Eating Disorders

Have you ever had any form of eating disorder? Ie, bullimia, anorexia or compulsive eating?

We think my cousin has it (shes 42) and is looking very skeletal at the moment, we know shes not eating as shes admitted this, altough shes saying its because shes so busy. I know a little bit about eating disorders (never had one myself) so i just wondered if anyone else has had it?

nope not me. i`ve known people who`ve had anorexia and it was terrible she dropped to five stone and was sectioned. also used to work with a girl who was anorexic and addicted to exercise. not good

bet you`re all very worried, especially cos you`ve told her she looks good. it`s a very dangerous condition

yeah it was around chritsmas when we told her that she looked really well, as she did, shes always been a bit podgy, not fat and everyone just mentioned how well and healthy she looked, now to be honest its really horrible, you can see her bones just above her breasts and because shes got falsies they look really wrong now. I know that you can see my collarbone but she might as not have any skin on hers! :roll: i do feel for her and would help, but to be honest i know that theres not much someone can do, it has to come from the person itself.

ive never had one and never known anyone with one.
sorry to hear about your cousin though lors, but i think you're right, theres nothing you can do to help in my opinion, i watched a programme on it and the girls on it said it was like self harming, they had control over it, didnt matter what anyone said or how bad it upset anyone else :sad:

Sorry to hear that Lors, i dont know anybody who ever has had a condition and i havent myself so cant really help on that one :roll:

Hi

my best mate at work has suffered from bulimia on and off for years, she goes mad and eats a full pizza then pukes for days! I know why she did it but she's still very very insecure about everyhting. I don't think you ever recover but the first step like alcoholism is to admit your problem.

thinking of you

Sorry to hear about your cousin Lors!

I once went off food for a long time and i made myself bad :sad: its very hard time i was going through, i did it i guess by not eating i was making myself feel better but obviously i wasnt as i had to go to the doctor in the end. but i was ok after a while still suffer till this day but i like my food now :grin:
