    About Me

    Hello everybody, my names Megan, but some people call me Meg, Meggie, or Leggo Meggo (as in leggo my eggo). I have anorexia and binge eating disorder and I also cut. I am determined to get help, recover, and get my life back. I lvoe theater. I am passionate about acting and singing, and I am also learning how to dance. I take voice lessons and I'm a soprano. I love animals and I'm a vegetarian. I am obsessed with the Little Mermaid and anything to do with mermaids. My dream is to be Ariel on Broadway someday. I am always willing to lend a hand and hope that you would be interested in supporting me in my recovery journey, and I am more than happy to be of support to anybody else. I am headstrong, opinionated, and crazy. I I never shut up and often baffle the hell out of people. My weakness is that I care too much. I love my family and friends. I am really eagar to enter into a relationship, because I've never been in a serious one and I guess I'm just dying to be in love.I love life and think it is the most precious, amazing thing.

    Interests

    I love the stage, whether I'm performing or watching others. I sing nonstop. I love to daydream. Writing is one of my favorite ways to vent. I love writing poems and stories to get my feelings out. I absolutely love being in the water. I love to laugh, and I'll love you forever if you can make me do so. I also love spending time with the people in my life. I am a very social person. There's nothing better than sitting down with some tea(always green, sometimes hot, sometimes iced) and a magazine or good novel. I enjoy a good creative project, like making a collage or scrapbooking. I think animals are the purest and most wonderful beings, and that we can learn a lot from them.

    • Close Self-Injury

      This goes along with my ED, as a way of numbing and sedating myself. I guess it's another way I control and manipulate people, including myself.

      Treatments

      Paxil Working / Worked
      nopers.
      Squeezing Ice Not Working
      I realized this doesn't work because I don't cut to feel something...I cut because it's my way of confronting things I'm not brave enough to address normally.
      Talking Working / Worked
      I told four friends, all of which were extremely supportive and stood by me. They made me feel lucky to have them, and it helped to voice my problems with them.

    • Close Eating Disorders
      Type: Anorexia

      I have anorexia and binge eating disorder. they counteract each other and interfere so much with my daily life. I am so ready to stop starving and cycling.

      I am an ADD chick lol...i can be doing something and then I'll look out the window and be like "OOO! a bird!" it's not that huge tho, its just a problm when I try to study. but i've accepted that it is a part of what makes me who i am.

      Treatments

    • Open Vegetarians & Vegans
      Type: Vegetarian

      I have been a vegetarian since the age of 10 because I love animals and it is against my personal beliefs to kill them for our use. I don't eat meat, chicken, fish, or eggs. I don't know if someday I would ever eliminate all dairy from my diet, but I think maybe somedya when I'm older I might.

    • Open High School Stress

      Well my high school stress is a big part of why I have an eating disorder and why I cut. I've always wanted to be teh best...and I guess it freaks me out to see kids who won't accept me, even though I'm pretty well-liked. I just feel like I want to be the best, and I'me not happy if I'm not thought of as the perfect girl.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      yes, therapy is really helpful, I have to admit. Although I bitch and moan, it feels good in the end to let it out and tell someone.

      Well I know I'll always have my family, which helps. And I am so grateful for my REAL friends who I know will be there for me no matter what. :)
      Writing Working / Worked
      Writing is such an enormous help for most of my problems. Whenever I feel freaked or insane or unable to deal I write a story or a poem and I feel better.
