depression and anorexia Options

[sheepy]

hello! i'm not sure..what subcatergory to put this end..so i reckon you guys can move it if it should belong to..health or school or something.
i'm doing a research paper on teenagers that suffer from depression and anoerxia.. or just phsychological disorders..but mainly those. i need interviews, so i was wondering is anyone here is alright with answering a few questions. (whether you suffer from these disorders or just want to share your view point about it) if you think you really wanna help me out, we can AIM or email. OR you guys can just post what you feel!

some questions you could answer in the post.
1. how does the disorder affect your life? and how do you feel about it?
2. when did it begin and what was happening during that time of your life?
3. what if your outlook on life?
4. how do you view yourself as an individual?
5. if you have one thing to tell teenagers what would you say?
6. why do you think some teens have it, and others dont?
7. how do you view people that have these disorders?


thank you guys so very much :)

I don't know if you still need people, but..

Well, I've been diagnosed with depression, so I guess I can answer. Yeah, it may be easy to get diagnosed with it by different doctors, but I'll still post here.
And..well. I would be far from being diagnosed as an anorectic. The most I've ever been called is bulimic for a few years, and that makes me scoff. However, seeing as I have "major eating issues," and have had them for most of my life [..I was called bulimic at 12, but had been overweight since..6.]-- I guess I can also answer your questions here with my thoughts on this as well.
Actually, I don't have time to fill these out. Yeah, it would take me an hour or more to even gather my thoughts, and well..I have school. Insomnia, eh.

You can PM me if I don't get around here. I'm sure I will, though.

Oh, and I'm a member of a forum for ..disordered people, so if you get in contact with me, I'm sure we can work something out--and maybe I can post and ask them to fill out a survey? I would have to ask, though, since they sometimes get iffy when researchers join just to ask questions..
So, really, I just posted so much and didn't really help at all.
