    About Me

    I am 16 years old and now a senior in high school. I have a twin sister who does not have an ed. I have been bulimic for almost 5 years now with anorexic tendencies and i have had counseling for 2 years and very acute inpatient treatment. I am desperate to overcome this disease but I really need some support. I'm open to talk with everyone =]So, please feel free to message me and I will be as supportive as I can back.

    Interests

    I LOVE to dance and it is a big part of my life, as is writing. I really love writing anything but mainly poetry.

    • Close Eating Disorders
      Type: Bulimia

      I am a 16 yr. old female and now a senior in high school. I have been bulimic for almost 5 years w/ana tendencies. I usually don't binge, just eat normal amounts of food and then throw it up. I also use to take 40 diet pills everyday, including laxatives, diuretics, and drink saline solutions when normal lax. basically stopped working. I have also recently started using Ipecac to purge.If you would like to know more message me or view my profile =]

      Treatments

      Dietitian Consult Somewhat Helpful
      I worked with a dietitan while I was in acute inpatient and it was helpful but I haven't been to one since.
      Group Therapy Working / Worked
      I had a little group therapy when I was in an acute inpatient behavioral health hospital.
      Lexapro Not Working
      I had a horrible allergic reaction to this!
      Prozac Somewhat Helpful
      I think it would have worked better if I took it regularly but I never took it cuz i always knew i would most likely purge soon and it would be a waste.
      Psychotherapy Somewhat Helpful
      I was in counseling for about 2-2 1/2 years and would like to go back soon. I also tried one eating disorders annonymous group 1 time but didn't really like it.
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      I also take 300 mg at night before bed...it helps me sleep and i didn't think it was really helping with my mood but when i went off of it, it made a big difference.
      Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
      My family...not so much. But girls I met inpatient and others who have eds have been very helpful to me.
    • Close Teen Anxiety

      Umm I have had pretty bad anxiety for a while and it has just gotten worse over the years...

    • Open Sexual Abuse

      I was sexually abused by my brother for 6 years (and his friend for a few years too) and some physical abuse by my mom's boyfriend on and off for 7 years.

      Treatments

      Group Therapy Working / Worked
      I did some while i was IP and it helped to have others hear my story and they could relate.
      Writing Working / Worked
      I write a lot of poetry about what happened and it helps some...I also take some medicine to help with anxiety
    • Open Depression - Teen

      I have been struggling with depression for about 4 1/2 years now...it started after my best friend died but thats not all its about...a lot has to do with sexual abuse and fam. problems...my mood is so unstable and it is so exhausting.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Not Working
      I had a horrible allergic reaction to this.
      Prozac Somewhat Helpful
      Worked pretty well but I didn't take it regularly so it ended up getting worse cuz i would take double and stuff if I missed a dose.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      I was in counseling for about 2 1/2 years and it worked for some aspects of the stuff I was dealing with it and what it didn't work for was cuz i don't think i went often enough and I wasn't honest all the time...it is worth the effort but you have to be 100% HONEST!
      Writing Working / Worked
      I always write in my journal and find it very helpful...it also really helps me to write poetry about the stuff I have been through.
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      It helps with my insomnia and balances out my mood somewhat but you cant abuse it...like when ur really depressed and dont wanna think bout ne thing dont just take it to sleep the world away.
    • Open Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

      When I think back on it...I can remember having OCD symptoms when I was about 5 and couldn't put on my own socks cuz I couldn't roll them down exactly even...it has escalated ever since.

      Treatments

      Lexapro Working / Worked
      I had a horrible allergic reaction to this.
      Seroquel Working / Worked
      Helps me sleep.
    • Open Self-Injury

      I started cutting about 4 1/2 years ago...also when my ed started. It is not really a huge problem right now.

      Treatments

      Outpatient Treatment Program Working / Worked
      was in counseling for an ed and we didn't really talk about cutting.
      Trileptal Working / Worked
      I was using it as a mood stabalizer but stopped taking it about a month and a half ago...dont know why but it helped when i was taking it.
