first of all ,let me say you have so much courage to come out and talk about this..
that being said, I need to say something. how long have you had an eating disorder? i'm a nursing student, and we've learned about all these, and you need, need need to see a doctor! taking laxatives is so bad for your intestines-you can really do alot of damage to them. that can lead to so many health problems in the future! cancer being a big one. and i'm sure you've heard about what can happen from throwing up-esophageal problems, teeth problems, stomach problems, etc. please see a doctor as soon as you can! this really worries me..
about mental illness-you'd be surprised how many people are affected by some form. i never knew-until recently- that my boyfriend has ADD and takes Ritilan. and my best friend in nursing school has a history of depression, and is also on meds. i know so many people who are on meds for some form of mental illness. i really don't think it's such a taboo these days-at least not as bad as it used to be-because so many people have problems.
please, if you have any health questions-or just want to talk-pm me!! and talk to someone you trust about this-they'll be a lot less shocked/judgemental than you think.
