I don’t like eating. Seeing food makes me want to throw up. If I eat I don’t for a week. I know it’s bad, but I just can’t help it. It hurts sometimes… But I still put it off. And the worst thing is nobody even notices, and nobody even cares… Then other times I binge, and then I don’t eat again. I don’t know what’s wrong. But my ribs are starting to show, and I don’t know what to do.
Everyone seems to be telling me to Eat. But… I’d rather be hungry. Even if it kills me. Because I wouldn’t mind that at all.

I wish I could give you a big ole’ hug and tell you to eat some soup but I have a feeling that wouldn’t go over very well. Eating disorders are hard, it’s a everyday battle just to get what your body physically needs to survive not to mention emotionally. I don’t have the exact same issues you have so I not going to tell you what to do. However, I was a laxative and steam room abuser for 3 years and during that time my mental health deteriorated- lots of other contributing factors on that. I have made gains in my recovery by not weighing myself everyday and meeting with a nutritionist to discuss a healthier ways to lose and maintain weight. What’s currently working for me is to write down what I’m eating so I can see that I’m making good choices. Maybe that would help you a little, your body needs food so that you can function and not get depressed- it’s a vicious cycle. Death by starvation is no way to go it is painful and ugly. Please, please find a way to get and keep some food in your body. This is someone saying that they care! If you want to keep in touch let me know and I’ll message you my email. If you don’t that’s okay too this site is a way for people with problems like us to put it out into the universe and know that your pain has been acknowledged.
Sweetie – You just need to try some better FOOD! You must be getting the bland stuff. Try things you haven’t tried before. Go out of your box of stuff you have always eaten.
Don’t think people don’t notice. You’d be surprised what people notice and don’t say anything about because they are afraid they will just make it worse…
