    About Me

    Claudia is my name. I'm a 19-year-old student at ASU majoring in developmental psychology. Being the youngest of three, I've got two older brothers who are just brilliant. So I have a lot to live up to, but what I lack in book smarts I make up for in the ARTS! I've been described as quirky and eccentric, and that I can't seem to stop learning to play new instruments. Haha. I'm new to DS. Looking forward to the journey.

      Type: Bulimia

      I am trying to beat the battle with bulimia. I can trace back problems with occasional purging to the 5th grade, but it became a serious habit 4 years ago as a sophomore in high school. Since then the disease has gotten worse, and the purging more frequent. Recently I've decided to try and change my habits. This support group is a stepping stone, and hopefully it leads to my victory over the obssesive self consciousness that has dominated my life for awhile.

      Treatments

      Group Therapy Considering
      The first step is to tell my parents, whose insurance I need for beginning to attend group therapy. I am planning on doing this very soon.
      Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
      My boyfriend is the only other person who knows the full blown extent of my problem. When we spend time together he helps a lot as far as making me feel accepted and physically attractive; I don't think too much about my body around him. As far as the purging getting better, right now it is not; when I'm alone I am more likely to revert back to the bad habits. At least the thought is there that my perception of myself is showing *some* progress.
