Hi, I'm38 years old and this is my 2nd time around with this disorder. I first had it when I was 17 years old. I would like to be able to share my thoughts with someone that can relate to what I am going through. Maybe I can offer some advice also, (after all I'm kind of an expert at this now). I have suffered with depression for most of my adult life and I am really trying to get a handle on all of this as it not only affects me, but my family are very distressed watching me go through this. I have four children, very loving fiance and family. My doctor tells me that I need to fix this for my family if not myself, but I find this is quite a selfish illness. The thought of having to gain weight is scarier than upsetting my family. If you are going through this you can imagine the guilt that you live with everyday. This illness teaches you to become a terrific liar to all your friends and family. Not something I'm proud of but find necessary to do so I can keep killing myself with this insane disorder. I am 6ft5" and down to 109lbs 48kg. Everyone is telling me how sick I'm starting to look, but I dont see myself like they obviously do. I weigh myself obssessively, and that number determines my food intake for the day. Hope someone can relate with me. look forward to hearing from you.

I wish that you could offer ME advice. I am younger than you, I'm only 15, but I have the same problem. I am actually 5'11'' and weigh 92 lbs. So, I think that is low enough to be considered anorexic...

If you could email me, I don't know if you would, but it's [email protected]... I am really struggling right now and would love to talk, even if you AREN'T my age. I really hope you're okay with it.

I completely get what you're doing.... And it's bad, I hope you know, but I can't really be the one to rat on you. I weigh myself obsessively too, and really, we're all just spiraling downwards. Only God can help, I believe.
Will you email me?

Hi Rel,

I am researching anorexia in women over 30 as well as women who re-lapse and I came across your post. I would be interested in hearing your view on the support and information available to over 30's regarding this matter. It seems the majority of resources out there are for early-onset & teenage sufferers. If you would like to contact me for more information and share some of your story with me, it would be greatly appreciated :)
My email is [email protected]

Thank you :)

Hey Rel!
I'm sorry to hear that you have to put up with this terrable disease, i know how you feel though, i have been suffering with anorexia since i was about 17 also, i am now 29 and still can't seem to over come that demon from my past. I don't have a family of my own, but i have two sisters and a mother. my sisters both had eating disorders, and so did my mom back in the day. It's a terrable thing, our disorder, i hope for the best though and will be praying for you.
