hi im new to this site
i am a 25 year old who this year started seeing a specialist for my ED i was told my bmi was very low
i am suffering an awful lot of sied affects like
chest pains , hair loss , bad teeth , stomach cramps and loss of menstraul cycle
i just want to speak to people who understand what im going hrough as i feel i cant go on no longer :-(
only my boss , support worker and health visitor no about my illness i have not yet taken the steps to tell others
I'm new to this site as well and I bet i understand what you're going through. way to reach out. anything specific that you've found to trigger your ed?

hi keepitmovinggrace
i have found that my triggers are my homelife circustances i have a lot going on , and by treating myself this way is the only way i feel i can be in charge of something
i no i am making yself ill but i cant stop ive had enough of everything
i havent even got the energy to put my babies to bed no more everyday is becoming more of a struggle yet no-one here knows what is going on
i bet you all think that im just silly , i just cant deal with this no more im not strong enough
scaredmommy and grace! both welcome to the site! i hope it will do you as much good as it has all of us. simply to have people on here that understand and dont judge is so incredible :-)
so no, nobody thinks you are silly, we all are in the same boat and we all wonder why we do this to ourselves when we actually know that ultimately it will kill us. but that's the point, we're obviously trying to hurt ourselves for some reason. and that has to be investigated. but we can't do it alone, so we now have each other!!
i am glad you now get therapy too. and if you really do get inpatient that would actually be a good thing simply because ED pretty much doesnt stand a chance :-)
