i disagree.
a girl i knew was abused horribly by her father. she cut herself and i can say honestly that it was not 'to be cool'.

well, i'm saying that's all i've seen.
to rephrase that, people who cut with a better justification don't come out and SAY it.

I get exactly what you're saying. I also think its the same for many people posting on these sites. Making ana a great diet and trying to be disordered simply because it seems fun or cool and a good way to lose weight. I feel like no one understands how much it actually affects your mind and body. I mean I just had a wake up call when chunks of my hair were always coming out and i am always cold and haven't had my period in about 8 months. Im really trying to get better too because I dont think i've gone too far in to this mess that I need professional help, but I definitely need help, so if you need help healing, im trying too. . Its seriously not fun, but im not sure how to stop.

i dont really have any advice because i dont know how to change this either, but just stay strong and find ways to be happy with yourself and dont get caught up in this.

I know some of how you feel, I SH, force myself to vomit and go days without eating. I usually dont speak about it except on sites like these, where i can be anonymous. I agree, people who talk about Sh easily dont get it. They dont get how it eats you up inside. Or how an eating disorder can take over your life and everything you are. I get the panic attacks at night too, when there seems no other way out than harm, and it scares me in the morning when i realise what i've done.

I'm currently seeing the school counsellor, because when i finally found the strength to tell one of my friends she convinced me that i should. But it dont tell the counsellor everything...

I know it sounds stupid, but i hope things will get better
for you and for me, and for anyone like us

Thankyou for writing this blog, now i dont feel so alone..

I love you
