Anorexia & Boulimia Options

[heyyfrankie]

I was just browsing through random xangas and came across some anorexia and boulimia pages. people had posted about their disorder/s and were giving tips on how to get the most out of them. they had their blogring module filled up with "Ana & Mia" blogrings. There were so many! it kinda disturbed. what do you guys think about this?

My best friend in high school was bulemic. She didn't admit that she was sick until she started throwing up blood. By then, she had done permanent damage to her stomach. She will have bleeding ulcers in her stomach for the rest of her life. She also damaged her teeth from throwing up so much. She had to have some of them pulled and others filled and sealed. She can't eat anything spicy, steaming hot, meat of any kind, or anything really acidic, like oranges. She can't drink soda or alcohol or take some medications because of her stomach.

It is a mental disease that spirals into a physical one. It is dangerous and fueled by a society where thinner is better and the thinner you are, the prettier you are and the more people supposedly love you. Starving yourself and purging yourself is dangerous and stupid and it destroys those around you once they realise what's going on. I can't tell you how many times I had to help my best friend out of the bathroom at school after her throwing up had gotten the best of her. How many times she fainted, had chest pains, fell down.....her hair started falling out and she began having headaches and seeing spots, all caused from not eating and putting her body through the rigors of throwing up many times a day.

If you have an eating disorder, please get help. Don't let other pro-ana/bulemia people egg you on. Those people are just as sick as you if not sicker. Don't let it get to the point where it's death or permanent damage. Get help. No one will love you any less if you're average weight or even overweight. People who like you cuz you're thin, pretty, exotic...are shallow people and don't deserve you anyway.

DON'T LET AN EATING DISORDER DESTROY YOU. OF ALL THE THINGS TO DIE FROM, AN EATING DISORDER IS ONE OF THE MOST PAINFUL THINGS TO DIE FROM BECAUSE YOU MAKE THE PEOPLE THAT LOVE YOU WATCH YOU WASTE AWAY. THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO, BECAUSE YOU REFUSE TO LET THEM HELP YOU OR YOU ARE SO SET ON CONTROLLING THIS ONE THING IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU LET EVERYTHING ELSE SPIRAL OUT OF CONTROL. YOU LET YOUR EATING DISORDER CONTROL YOUR LIFE, AND ULTIMATELY, IT WILL CONTROL YOUR DEATH AS WELL.
