About Me
I am a college student who currently lives alone in a cute, cozy apartment. I work for the horticulture department for my city and also at a local bar and grill. I love my friends and enjoy spending time with them whenever possible. I love to read and take care of my plants. I was bulimic for 6 years and went to treatment in highschool for about 6 months. I stopped purging for a couple of years until i recently moved out and now have no one to hide from but myself.
Interests
music music music! love to dance... like good old rock'n roll, some techno, the blues, jam bands...its all wonderful. plants are my passion. have over 30 houseplants in my apartment. love to garden... books. always reading at least one. favorite book of all time: She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb. have read it 4 times. strongly recommend it to those also struggling with eating disorders.

Close Eating Disorders
Type: BulimiaI have had a distorted body image since I was in 6th grade. The fact is, now I feel I truly AM overweight. I have gained 40 pounds since highschool and am completely unhappy with myself all around. I am sad. I know that binging and purging is wrong but cannot seem to stop due to the hope that I will lose weight. how horrible. i am also an alcoholic at 20 years of age. Just looking for someone who understands.
Treatments
- Group Therapy Somewhat Helpful
- it helped having other girls around who understood my eating disorder. my therapist however was not a helpful person. she was obsessed with her body and her personal image. she said she "used to be" bulimic but she was still getting up at 4 am to teach aerobics.... i dont think so... she looked absolutely perfect but didnt seem to care about the other girls, and rarely made it to meetings.
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- parents did not understand my disorder. once in awhile they would ask how i was doing. that was all. they have not asked about it for years now.
Close Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
struggled with ocd a lot as a child. have learned to control most of it. now the things i do just make me laugh. my brother still suffers to this day. he is 28.
Open Alcoholism
i drink every day to get a buzz. drink heavily on weekends and nights off. am not a "severe" case but need to recognize that there is a problem here. probably get it from my dad.
