Things Irritating relatives do...

I didn't talk about it for the first two years. People would stare at me since I was so thin like I was some crack addicted ice head. It does help to talk about it. It wasn't my fault what happened it just happened so now I'm sick. My anorexia came from a tramatic experience not some kid wanting to be thin and thinking they are fat. This is why I am able to talk about it, and talk about it for 4 hours a day in therapy. It's been three years now I've been sick and I don't know it I will beat it or not. Each day is a challange.

As long as you are willing, you have a chance, and I for one, am rooting for you every step, and bite, of the way.....

I love my in laws a lot. but every year the irritate me. They will always ask me what i want for christmas. I will tell them but they never get me anything i tell them. For example for christmas of 05, 06, and 07 I told them that I could us towels. They told me that towels are not a gift for me. That is a family gift. So I never got the towels. Well this year I bought my own towels, but could not find the color that i wanted. So this year when asked what i would like, I gave them a catolog and circled the item I wanted. Well when christmas came this year they gave me towels now that I don't really need them. Oh and last year what did the get me a tv for my room. Well I have been married to there son for 18 years and they all know that I don't see a need for a tv for my room. So now I have a tv that is a year old and never used.

I am SO fortunate that I don't have in-laws - they passed before I met ken. It's his grown kids. I should say kid. She is going through a divorce and suffering from the IJUSTWANNAHAVEFUN stage, which makes her flaky and the husband is the enemy, which he really isn't. He is not a pig or a dog, they just have major differences...... She needs to get through this stage....

Thanks so much for the encourgament. It's a struggle everyday. Since christmas I have hardly eaten anything. I have to leave for therapy in three hours and I haven't slept yet something else I don't do since I was attacked. I'm afraid when they weigh me in today my weight will be so low they will call an ambulance to haul me off to the hospital to be force fed. I have been through that many times already. Funny story here, one time I escaped from them. I had on cut off shorts, tied dyed shirt and no shoes. I made it about 2 blocks from the hospital when it seemed like the whole police force found me and it was around 2 in the morning. Where I was going I had no idea, I hadn't eaten in so long I was out of it. The police were very kind to me when they took me back to the hospital and I stayed for a couple of days until they filled my body up with goodies. Since that happened and I have to go to the hospital they always take my cloths from me. I guess they think I want try and escape with no cloths. I can do really good for a couple of weeks but then it always hits me and I start starving myself again. I'm really scared about the weigh in today. Wish me luck!!

That's awful, Debira. Is there something we can be doing to help?

I was an armed guard at a women's shelter for a while, you're welcome to conjure me up at night if you have bad dreams -- it helps, I know, to have something protecting to think about.

Your friends are the family you get to choose.

I'm so sorry to hear about your anorexia--that just plain s%&$#s. I wish I could wave my magic wand and make it all go away....

I'm glad you're getting help and WANT to get better.
