Hey, I’m 16 and have just come to terms that I have a E.D. I’ve got GCSE’s coming up and everything’s getting on top of me. I keep bottling all the emotional side of my E.D up and it’s just making things worse. I Just wondered if anyone could help me with how to deal with it all, and I think just knowing someone that has been/going through the same thing as me will give me the courage to beat this and come out strong and healthy.
I would appreciate any advice
Thanks

hiya hun,
im danielle, im 15 n im a christian. i was ana for abt 5/6 months til God healed me in jan.
if u dont mind me askin wot ED do u fink u hav? the best advice i hav is to tell ppl n talk abt it. uve done reali well postin on here n it can help just to rite it out cos as u sed u bottle it all up n it helps to let it out.
also try tellin someone abt it. ur family or close friends. or if ur strong enuf a teacher, skool counsiller/ nurse or go n c ur gp. i no its reali hard tellin ppl abt it but its the best fing to do n tellin ur gp shud get u some proffessional help but even just tellin a friend can giv u support.
im always here if u need to talk hun n ill pray for u. stay strong hunni.

heya hun
its alrite. i had also had ana so i understand wot its lyk.
well done for tellin ur friends hun, i no how hard tellin someone abt ana is. ur lucky to hav them to support u even if they dont reali understand its helpful to hav ppl there for u.
tellin an adult wud b a gud fing to do tho n u cud ask ur friends to go wiv u or even speak to someone for u tho its betta if u do it urself or u cud rite a letter to someone if thts easier.
let me no how fings go n lyk i sed im always here if u need me even just to let everyfin out on me i dont mind if thts wot helps u n ill keep prayin for u.

yeh i might write something down as i find it hard to talk to people about, even with my friend i usually end up in tears or just refusing to talk about whats really going on and how i feel. i tend to avoid the situation if i can and most people don't think theres anything wrong as i binge when i feel the need to, so no one really notices, which doesnt help as i tend to bottle it up even more and try to be "normal" in away

heya hun,
even if u rite someone a letter abt how u feel wots reali goin on n say u want some help tht wud b a reali gud fing to do n u can keep it til ur confident n u can invite her round or go somewhere on ur own so it doesnt matter if u cry n it mite actully help if u hav a cry cos it can let out some of the stuff ur bottlin up.
somefin i got out of a selfesteem bk my youth worker gav me was journalin. most nites i rite abt wot ive done n how stuff made me feel, i can b totally honest cos no one else sees it so i can say woteva i want n it helps to get stuff out n express urself.
if u keep just tryin to bottle it up hunni it wont help plz try n tell someone, if u try n pretend its all ok when its not u wont b able to cope. u reali need someone u can just tell stuff to, hus there for u.
hun if u eva need to let it all out on me or hav a rant i dont mind at all i used to some on here n just let it all out sometyms cos it reali helps so im here if u need me. ill keep prayin for u. stay strong hunni.

hiya,
yep some days u will b stronger than others. if u do hav a bad day just try n pick urself up agen n try n mak the nxt day a gud one.
hunni if u get hungry u shud eat n i no its so hard but u need food. i often felt lyk i cudnt physically eat, i just cudnt bring myself to eat but sometyms i cud brong myslef to ring my youth worker hu wud mak me eat even tho i didnt want to n even tho ana argued bak but she nearly always got a bit of somefin in me.
hunni if it keeps happenin tht u cant ovacome ana n eat then u need to seek help before ana gets to strong cos i no an Ed can quickly go from u bein in control n u totally bein controlled by the ED.
u dont need to b sorri hun, i no its the ED makin u do this not u
ill pray for u lots hunni
stay strong beautiful

hey hun
you alright?
sorry i havent been on here in ages, exams and stuff but they have finished now. but to be honest i dont know if thats a good or bad thing because i havent got people around me like at lunch at stuff and i feel like im slowly slipping back to my old ways, which is not what i had hoped for.
