[Jake!]

What are your views on this topic... Especially after watch The 8 Year Old Anorexic the other day on 4...

EDIT:- Sorry for the poor spelling...

It's awful tbh :S
and isn't it ANorexia?? lol!

[hannah.]

Yeah it only has one n.

I suffered from it a couple of years ago, and what they say about you having it once and then never being able to 100% be free from it is true. Awful times, and they still haunt me now tbh

[Jake!]

Is it I thought it was two n's.

[hannah.]

No, there's only one.

Your nnot alone, I haad it for six months at twelveand I'm a boy. It doesn't get worse than tubes sticking in you force feeding you...

They tried to put me into hospital but I ran away. That was basically the worst year of my life, and I looked awful. I'll try and find a picture in a minute

it is awful one of my best friends has it to the point she could of dropped dead at any point then she had a miracle pregnancy but even now 4 years on from that point it is still a daily struggle for her to maintain her ideal weight
people who have it are always going to have those demons and things like the size 0 culture really dont help them to fight it

[Jake!]

OMG when you look amazing as you are now?!

[hannah.]

i know the 2nd one's rubbish, but you can see the hipbones. errughh.

it started like 2 years ago.. sooo i was at my skinniest around this time last year i guess, and the 2nd one's from then. the first one's somewhere in the middle of it all.

[Indierock&roll]

ive thought of anorexia but i couldnt do it.. i cant stop eating but i have a fast motabolism anyway and im not fat im quite skinny but i went through a fase of not eating as much and doing a lot of sit ups but then i just couldnt be bothered,
and i could never be belimic as ive got a phobia of being sick

my mum has had anerexia for like 11 years she been in and out of hospital

I'm so sorry to hear this. I really hope your mom gets past this. Take care of her and you okay?:hug:

I think people take too much notice of the Anorexia and not enough attention is paid to the underlying problems. Ive worked with a lot of self harmers and whilst I always acknowledge their coping mechanism i try to concentrate on improving their confidence/life skills

This is so true. Anorexia and bulimia (and self harming) are symptoms of something deeper.

I had an eating disorder in my teens. Trust me, it can get better.
