About Me
I have been struggling with eating disorders/anxiety for the past 7 years... anorexia, bulimia, overeating... you name it. I graduated from college with a degree in Public Relations/Political Science, but am working at my parents' law office before I feel ready to go back and get my Masters. It is difficult to work with both parents, and although I am blessed that they are in my life, there are many times when I wish I wasn't with them every day. I have a brother and sister who are frusterated and upset with what I do, and a boyfriend of 2 years who doesn't understand why I make myself sick like this... but then again, I don't either.
Interests
Swimming (I used to be a competative swimmer), any other water activity, walking, watching movies, reading, shopping, animals (I love my cat!) Unfortunately, I hardly enjoy any of these activities anymore because my ED makes me miserable.

Close Eating Disorders
I have been battling with bulimia and overeating for the past 6 years of my life. I have also been in and out of therapy, seen nutrionists and been put on anti-depressants. Nothing seems to help.
Treatments
- Dietitian Consult Not Working
- I liked her, but it only made me want to stop eating completely and become skinny like the girls in the group therapy.
- Lexapro Not Working
- Did nothing for me
- Psychotherapy Not Working
- I listen to her, but feel that much of it is a bunch of crap. Also, some activities she wants me to do do not help at all. An example would be to count backwards from 100 when I feel myself wanting to binge.
- Cymbalta Somewhat Helpful
- I felt like it was helping at the beginning, but it does not seem to be doing anything anymore. I still have bad thoughts and seem to want to eat and throw up more than I did before
Close Diets & Weight Maintenance
I have been struggling to lose weight for about 6 or so years. I have tried EVERYTHING! But my eating disorder of binging/purging doesn't help, and actually made me gain weight.
Treatments
- Alli Not Working
- Atkins Diet Somewhat Helpful
- Worked, but I didn't stay on it long.
- Counting Calories Somewhat Helpful
- Eating Healthier Foods Working / Worked
- Eat Less Working / Worked
Open Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling)
Type: TrichotillomaniaI started pulling out my hair when I was a sophomore in high school, so roughly 7 years ago. It began as pulling out the split ends, but then became something much worse. EVERYONE started noticing me do it, and they would make comments all the time. I am extremely self-conscious about my balding and hardly wear my hair down anymore. I hate when people with thick, beautiful hair complain about their hair!
