Anorexia Recovery & Treatment

Can anyone please share their experience recovering from anorexia? Also, how did you cope with the voices in your head telling you that you were fat? Any advice you would give to an anorexic struggling to recover? Please share any, and all, details if you can.

Thanks

Are there any free online workbooks for anorexia or eating disorders not otherwise specified? If not, can you please recommend some good workbooks that I can buy? I’m 18 and have not been diagnosed yet but the doctor thinks I’m anorexic. I do have most of the symptoms and I will be going to an eating disorder specialist shortly but I thought maybe a workbook would be good to start off with. Thanks in advance.

I have a friend who recently came out to me that she is bulimic and thinking about becoming anorexic… I know I need to get her some help (quick) but I want to read about the diseases from someone who’s going through it first. So if anyone knows of a pro anorexia or pro bulimia site please let me know. Or a forum that isnt for people trying to recover but more “supporting” the disorder. Thanks for the help!

Please ONLY reply if you AGREE!

People are getting fatter, and some are getting much skinnier.

Skinny is sexy, beautiful, and healthy.

Anorexia is letting us know what needs to be done, eh?

I’m in recovery. and man is it hard!!
I’ve struggled with anorexia and bulimia since I was 11.
after I almost died when I was 14. I accepted a feeding tube. I went through residential treatment and gained 70 lbs. now I’m at a healthy weight and sometimes it gets really hard
I purged today and I purged on wednesday. both times were blood.
which I used to have a hole in my throat from purging. and I’m afraid its opened back up. I’ve been helping others in their recovery. sharing my story
but now I’m struggling again. it all started when a girl I go to school with asked me to lose weight with her. the bad way. I should have said no. I had it in my mind.
but I said yes. and now I’m living with it again. I told her a while back that I couldn’t do it anymore. she accepted it and now I am helping her recover.
but I cant tell her that I still struggle. but I want her to know that there is still hope
I heard my parents talking the other day about my weight. I’m still a healthy weight and I am allowed to lose a few pounds.
I’ve been exercising to help me. and I want a really healthy and ‘hott’ body.
but it gets hard sometimes.
I’ve been eating OK. I make some unhealthy food choices. but I still follow my meal plan
does anyone have any advice for me?
to help me through recovery. and also some healthy weight loss tips?
thank you everyone!!
