Dear Aimee and Kate,
Thank you both so much for your wonderfully supportive replies. It really does mean so much to be able to be able to go on this group and write how I feel, without being embarrassed or having to lie. I am so grateful for your kindness.
Things have still been very up and down - my eating patterns seem to be fine so long as I have some kind of a routine established, but when I am alone or not busy at work (particularly at the weekends) I seem much more prone to binging and purging. I am not sure why this is, but would be keen to hear of any strategies either of you have to avoid the urge? At the moment I find if I am with other people or working I am much less likely to feel sad and alone, but obviously it is impossible to always be with other people! And I hate making my friends/family feel pressured to always be with me. I really don't want to them to feel guilty as they are already being so amazing. My parents, my mum especially, are so wonderful, but I don't live very near to them, and I worry how hard it is for my mum when I always call her up crying. More than anything I want to beat this, and go back to how I was 2 years ago. I just don't know how to get back there.
Please do get in touch and let me know how you are doing.
Love Ally xxx

Hello,
This is the first time I've written on here, but I've read through loads of the messages people have written and they have been so encouraging and said so many of the things I want to say.
I have been bulimic for 2 years, although there have been times when it has been worse than others. I am currently in what feels like a very black spot, and am beginning to feel slightly desperate. I b/p regularly, and feel as if I have no control, and that my obsession with food is beginning to take over my life. I feel very lonely, , and would be embarrassed admitting to anyone, as it seems like a very trivial problem. I have told my parents, and have been seeing a psychiatrist for a year, but still feel utterly dependent. Is there anyone out there with some advice on how to cope? I would be so grateful.
Ally
