New To The Group

Hi, my name is Maddie Strang. I'm a thirteen-year-old girl from Ontario, Canada and I suffer from anorexia. I resently told my family about my eating disorder and I'm beginning recovery. I'm currently 5' 1" and 78.5 lbs., my goal weight is 93 lbs. 

Anorexia has triggered a lot of unstable emotions in me. I cry a lot, I have often thoughts of suicide, I've cut myself a few times and I've attempted throwing up quiet a few times. I really want to get better, it's just hard. 

I don't have a lot of support-- only from my mom and doctor-- and because I'm not very old, I can't tell any of my friends, so many of my emotions are bottled up, and people at school don't understand how all of a sudden I got so thin. 

I joined this group/site to find extra support from other people recovering, to help me reach my goal weight eventually. But, I've also come to support you. PLEASE, if you do not already have an eating disorder DO NOT fall into it! It RUINS YOUR LIFE. Or, at least, that's what it feels like right now. 

Your comments are greatly appreciated.
