jenradislost — Fri, 08 May 2009 17:24:12 GMT

hey everyone
im new to this place.... i'm 23 years old, and im at med school.

i am the 3rd child my parents didnt want, and my 'family' abandoned me and my 'parents'
(if you would refered to them as parents ... who abused me for years)
blamed me for their divorce at the age of 11 years old, cut me out the family 11 years ago.

i grew up in a all girls catholic boarding school, since the age of 11- for 7 years, took a gap year and applied to med school...

well you can prob guess what a screwed up childhood would have done to me ED wise.

but i live off junk food, ewspecially when i binge...

i dont eat meat, im allergic to alchohol, dairy and wheat (gluten).

i cant have mirrors in my own room as i cant bear the sight of myself..
im distgusted with my weight and size...
aiming to loose 15lbs by new year....
so fighting a loosing battler....... cry*

its uni exam time... and as usual... ... i am alone.stressed. freaking out, panicing
. and no suprises i am loosing control too...binge eating like crazy....

ive been like this for years... if i am busy ... i can keep it under control..
but i have a hunch that twhen i wake up tommoorrow... im gonna be full blown ana...
and it scares me yet makes me smile at the same time....
its frightening even trying to explain why i feel like that...

how are you all really doing?
- as i really need to know that im not alone, and that its normal to be beating myself up.....

i just want to be accepted ....

i cant beleive ive piled on 8kg over the last month... im so disgusted with myself!!!

yee

Mental Health Protest in London 28/11

katters279 — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 16:39:40 GMT

*Mods feel free to remove this post if you feel it is innapropriate*

The protest is being held at 4pm on the 28th of November at Springfield University Hospital (outside the main gates).

It will be a peaceful candle lit Virgil to remember all those who have died through the lack of care in the UK NHS MH system and to hightlight how insufficient mental health services are and to communicate to them that we need change.

Stories we speak of are such as that of Kate Logan - who died in March 2007 after being neglected by her mental health team.
More information can be found here:
http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/north-east-news/todays-evening-chronicle/tm_headline=kate-knew-she-would-die&method=full&objectid=18838503&siteid=50081-name_page.html
and here:
http://www.justice4kate.com

Recently another story spoke of Kerrie Wooltorton, age 26, allowed to die after being diagnosed "untreatable" http://new.edp24.co.uk/search/story.aspx?brand=EDPOnline&category=News&itemid=NOED16%20Oct%202008%2018:18:19:920&tBrand=EDPOnline&tCategory=search

They have recently closed Henderson Hospital – which is a Therapeutic Community (TC). TC's are often described by the NHS the "most cost-effective treatment" for personality disorder and other mental illness. There are very few of these services on offer in the UK and access to them is difficult to find – patients are often made to “jump through the hoops” essentially meaning they must prove that every other treatment will not help sufficiently before they are even considered for a TC.

Tabi Cockerton - suffers from DID and has been fighting for a long time for treatment under St Georges and Tolworth Mental Health Trust. Specialists at a unit which treats DID, have recommended treatment but the local authority have been unwilling to fund it. Why?

Hey all
Newbie :)

Here's a li'l
I've had an issue with food since i was in year 6, thanks to constant bullying and low self-esteem
I've been slipping in and out of recovery since then, my last recovery bringing me up to my highest weight, but i jsut felt too fat to handle it anymore.
I've had EDNOS now for almost a year, starving myself/ severe restricting and purging but im still at the 'normal' weight range

15 y/o
4'11
101 pounds
BMI 20.4

I've been clinically diagnosed with depression, and I've been self harming since the new bullying started in year 7.
I'm basically here to give/ recieve support and tips :)

Doctor advice needed:(

trappedbee99 — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 16:17:50 GMT

Hey lovelies I don't know what to do! Over the past few months I've lost my job, haven't been able carry on with my hobbies, have lost my friends and social life, have been threatened with being chucked out of my houseshare and my very best friend who helped me so much isn't talking to me anymore. Basically my life has fallen apart because of my ed. I'm thinking of making an appointment with the doc tomorrow. Scares me stiff.

I want help to stop the cycle of fasting/b/ping and to find a good 'middle' for me where I can still lose weight but consistently and not jumping from one extreme to the other if that makes sense. Do you think a doctor could help me with this or would they be against me losing weight at all? (I'm in the healthy weight range at the moment).

Oh dear this isn't coming out at all right! Just feel like I can't do this alone and was hoping to have the support of my best friend but...

Any advice? Should I go? Do any other uk girls have experiences they can share?

Thank you so much loveliesxxx
