:yes: seconded
Not necessarily whats best for her though
Last year, I was having some serious mental health issues and was pretty much told this by a friend - because he had no choice. He couldn't deal with my behaviour at all.
I agree with everything that Franki has said.
i cant belive u'd even suggest PRO ANA WEBSITES - there absoutly SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they shud b band !!! i complain about them alot they encourage people to starve thats disucsting !!!! wrong and dont get me started!!!
Eating disorders are NO GAME !!! i struggle everyday and people who has eating disorders will understand that, dont expect any1 else to,
I AM getting help with eating disorders and depression BUT from 2 DIFFERENT services, ive not ONCE pushed away my eating disorder help and thats a promise because i want to change, so i dont know why ur encouraging me to go on pro when there extremely dangerous!! i personally think thats way outta order
Then I think you need to take the help that is offered in here and not ignore people. I dont think suzie meant to seriously look at those sites but it seems that nothing that is said in here is ever good enough.
If you want to leave then thats fine, but no need to make a song and dance about it, this place is here to help, dont make those who have helped you feel guilty for it.
i came on here coz felt gulity for eating over 300 cals and i geet a lecture, that was outta order
Did you even READ any of what I posted?
Suzy posted what she did out of frustration because it seems like you aren't accepting the help we are trying to give you. Nobody is encouraging you to go on any fucking pro-ana website because ALL OF US are aware of the danger websites like that pose to people with Eating Disorders.
I am bored of this now. Either you accept the help we are giving you, appreciate the time and effort that goes into giving you that help, or you can ignore us and face comments like Suzy's. We don't have infinite patience, and like I said, we ARE NOT HERE to pander to your Eating Disorder.
Take some responsibility for yourself. Yes, it's terrible having an ED, I wouldn't wish it on anybody, but it is NOT the Disorder that is making you starve and binge. The ED does not control your actions, only your thoughts. You can make a choice to try and beat those thoughts or you can let them run your life. It's your decision, but don't expect any of us to encourage your eating such a small amount in a day, because it's not going to happen.
/rant over.
I used to be like that too, but it gets you no where very slowly.
Just dropping in to remind you all that if you're getting frustrated with someone and feel like they're not taking on board what you're saying, it's better to take a step back and stop posting rather than to post in an angry/annoyed way.
There are some comments in this thread that may hold some truth if we were having a discussion about the issues, yet can be confusing for someone to hear when they are in the midst of a situation.
Equally, depressedgal, it's important that you try and read everyone's posts calmly and patiently - and try not to jump to conclusions based on your fears about what people might think. Lots of people have been genuinely trying to offer support and it is true that it's becoming difficult to understand what kind of support you're looking for here.
It sounds like you find it difficult to manage your emotions, is this something you've talked about with a professional before?
I used to post here a lot and as you can see by joining date its been a while. And you know what I'm pretty sure I've been in your position where I've felt everyone here is just being horrible to me, conspiring against me etc etc. But they're not, not even in the slightest. It shows that people do give a shit, the truth can hurt and especially when you're at the height of trying to deal with whats going on inside your head.
Re read this whole thread from start to finish and try and just take in whats been said by you and by everyone. Its not a question of people not supporting, this is a very triggering discussion that gets our backs up a bit. But never forget this IS a support forum and that is what is happening here
*hug* we all reach the end of our tether, it's just a case of remembering to take a step back at times.
