I want to get better but it's impossible... and like it isn't enough i broke him too.... and now everything in my life has gone to hell.... i don't know what to do anymore. i can't hold myself back anymore... i try not to self harm, fast and stuff....but i'm on the edge n losing my mind, failing school n stuff......please help me....if u can...if u have any ideas how ti solve this mess please tell.... i somehow ruin everything in my life and like it wasn't enough to ruin me i ruend him too.....

    Hi, are you seeing a counsellor or somebody and sometimes is help to tell someone everything and they can give you solutions and stuff. Don't give up, you've done so well to get to normal weight and I know its so hard but you have to keep fighting the voices and stay strong. Maybe go to doctor and them how you are feeling?. Stay strong! Hope I have help led a bit

    You need to get professional help from someone trained to councel in eating disorders. Your gp can refer you to the right person or a psychiatrist. There is plenty of resources out there for that they will retrain your mind and get to the root of your probs coz there's lots of overweight ppl out there who'd love to be skinny but they don't starve themselves coz they know they'd get sick so there's a lot more than just weight going on with eds. We need food to stay alive n help our bodies function optimally. I have bad stomach probs n it's actually painful to eat sometimes n I can't eat certain foods it's really frustrating I'm also badly low on potassium which was all missed coz bloods were falsely elevated going up n down iv had heart probs muscle weakness severe weakness n the list goes on. Low potassium is torture. Iv got all the prescribed supplements I could wish for now but deficiency that bad can't get enough can't exercise iv wanted to end it all so many times coz of the physical torture I'm going through n wasn't even believed it's dreadful. So get down to your doctor n get referred get help n start enjoying life. There will also be ed helplines n clinics near you.

    Sounds like this thing is mentally torturing you, it's a real head f*#@ lol it's that little devil on our shoulders talking rubbish trying to convince us to do all the wrong things that will hurt us he loves this he's on my shoulder s 4 years n I keep falling 4 it coz am stupid.

    Good luck x
