Bad Week

Used to be a long post that I realize was potentially triggering, so I figured I'd sum it up in a simple mathmatic equation:

midterm stress + just starting recovery from an ed - successful attempts at conquering fear foods = a lot of crying.

im sorry youve had such a bad person you dont come across have a horrible person you are just struggling . i know its really hard , all i can say to you is keep fighting those voices its the ed tricking you in to thinking it ok to be like this you do need to gain weight the fear of being fat is just another reason to keep you here . i dont want to sound funny but what would it matter if you were fat? it wouldnt matter because you would of let it happen and while ever you hold onto this ed it wont happen, but im pretty certain you wont be . it really isnt normal to see bones piercing through. i know your torn in your head but every time you get those thoughts you need to remember all those reasons why you want to do this write it down if it helps . well done in hanging on in there despite your difficulities i hope this week is a better week h x

I don't think your post is appropriate.  This is a 'health and support' forum but it's being completely dominated by people with eating disorders and becoming a talking shop for swapping quite frightening neuroses.   CC can only support people in active recovery... if you're struggling mentally or physically, see your doctor and your treatment team.

I'm sorry...I didn't realize I was promoting disordered eating...I was just feeling down, and figured the "health and support" forum would be the best place to get support...I'll try to edit my post to make it less awful.

Do yourself a favour and stop anthropomorphising the eating disorder.  I'm sure people with haemorrhoids don't call them 'Polly Piles'.   It's a disease that needs treating, not an annoying imaginary friend.

Your post outlines lots of the common phobias of eating disorders and that's why I don't like it.  Gives other people fresh ammunition to go at themselves with. There are a lot of impressionable kids on this site at the moment to whom 'hip bones that make me feel special' will be (pardon the pun) food and drink..

I realize that now.  I was pretty emotional at the time when I wrote it, and I probably should have re-read it before posting...something I will be doing in the future.  

flightotc: dont feel bad. I don't really know what was your original post about but I understand from Gi-jane's post that you suffer from haemorrhoids.

I suffer from haemorrhoids  too. you just need to go and see your doctor and if you have constipation, eat more fiber esp. prunes. my doctor told me that it helps a lot. I have also found that page to assure the benefits of eating prunes.

By  the way, I never call them " polly piles". LOL that was funny.
