God bless you. I can relate to your problems, although my ed has never been as severe. Have you read Wasted? I am assuming you have because it’s simply the best book out there on eating disorders. If you haven’t then please check it out its Wasted by Marya Hornbacher. I dunno what to tell you except keep fighting. Ask yourself, what have I gained from this disorder? Have I achieved what I thought I would from it? Having spent 17 years battling this disorder, I am sure you convinced yourself that your ed is your companion, your savior…etc we like to believe that its true, but ask yourself, is it true? You have to think of your ED as your enemy. You always have to remind yourself of the things that this ed took away from you. You education, your Independence, your freedom, your identity. The irony is you probably turned to it searching for an identity, when in fact all it did was strip you of any sense of self.
Hang in there, and keep in mind that if you give up then you allow your ED to win. It’s not worth it. Nothing in the world is worth giving your life up. Think of all the things that you would like to do in life. If you have dreams, ambitions, goals then focus on those. Try your hardest to regain your strength so that you can experience all the beautiful things that life has to offer. You have my full support, and if you wish to keep in touch then please feel free to do so.

I am so sorry for you and My hopes go out for you. This is weird because I just watched an episode of intervention about this and the story was exactly the same as yours. The only way your going to beat this is to get professional help for what happend to you as a child and profession help and treatment for your eating disorder. below is a link to a page that should help you find a treatment center in or near your area.http://www.edreferral.com/treatmentlinks.htm Good luck and I hope you find your safe haven and I will keep you in my thoughts.

You and I have an almost identical story. We rule!! I found that I could overcome some big problems with the help of medication. Zoloft is a beautiful concoction of chemistry! It has changed my life, and I feel pretty normal. I also did a lot of psychotherapy, which helped too. Ana and Mia can be total b*tches. Don't let that part of your life win. I decided a while ago that if I let myself die from an eating disorder, my abuser will have won. I didn't want him to have that satisfaction. Overcome the puny little man that made you feel a loss of control in your life. Make yourself healthy, and you will be the true winner at the end of the day! Good luck!
