Eating disorder...?

My eating disorder has ruined my life. I became anorexic at 13, now at fifteen, I feel Iike there's no point in continuing my life as it's already spoiled for good. I will have severely stunted my growth and brain developement, which means I will never be as clever/creative as I could have been, and I don't know why, but after my recovery my skin seemed to go into this wierd accelorrated aging thing and I'm now wrinkled, saggy, and covered in pigmentation. What is the point in continuing , really?

Eating disorder...?
there is a reason to live... it's called Home Town Buffet





go there, now!
Reply:There is no such thing as a spoiled life at 15,,,you have your whole life ahead of you...you just made a poor choice, not that people choose to be anorexic....Maybe there is medication, surgery for your skin....keep your chin up...things will get better!!!
Reply:Because after all that, things can only get better, right? With the billions of things on earth that could kill you at any second, don't you think being alive is a miricle? Why not hang around and see how good it could be, that's my reason for being here or believe me, I'd have copped it ages ago!
Reply:that is so sad but you need to continue with your life i will pray for you to get better bless your hart!!!
Reply:I know exactly what you are going through I was anorexic when I was 16 You will look and feel better after you have been better for awhile. You did a lot of damage and it is going to take time to fix itself and you may have done damage to your organs also that can't be fixed. Go to a doctor and have them check you over OK and don't give up you can win the fight.
Reply:I'm sorry you are feeling so bad right now, but your life is not over. Your eating disorder was just an eating disorder, and I know you feel it ruined your life, but that is not the case.





No matter what happens you have the ability to recover from it. If you are feeling bad, please read Louise Hay's book, How to Heal Your Life. You can check it of the library or buy it on Amazon.com or www.hayhouse.com.





Also, read The Secret by Rhonda Byrne.
Reply:I can honestly say just by reading your question had a profound impact on me. And the point to continue would be that your story can impact others - especially those suffering from a similar eating disorder.





The best thing you could do is be brave and help others. It is an amazing feeling to open up, tell your story and hopefully stop someone else from feeling alone and helpless in their struggles.





Thanks for sharing your story.

Reply:The point is at 15 you have your whole life in front of you with all its surprises and all its potential. You should get in touch with a natural healer and find out all they can offer you to repair the damage already done. At 15 you don't have a lot of the answers and knowledge that will make things better in your life. It is very recently that you have recovered from anorexia and you are still growing and probably by your early 20s you will have a better idea of how your brain and body will be...certainly not now.
Reply:If you keep thinking like that, then you will be miserable for the rest of your life (how ever long you make it last).


You need to think positively. So what if you're not the brighest of the bunch! So what if you're not the prettiest one in the group! You will have other qualities that people will find attractive in you. Go out with a group of friends to a club. Dress up nice, and try to smile at everyone while you're there. Dance with your friends. You never know, you might actually start to enjoy yourself.


You just need to think that you are ok. If people see you always being miserable, then you wo't make any friends.


THINK POSITIVE
Reply:Well, first of all you need to go to the psychology section, and more importantly, go get professional help.
Reply:you can find joy in life without looks/intelligence coming in to it, if you've spent so much time and effort recovering you should not let it go to waste ,try to find pleasure in something else your family friends hobbies don't live in what ifs it would only make you miserable their may be something that could fix you up if you really want, science works wonders:)
Reply:Well first believe me at fifteen things always seem much worse than they really are, (I hated adults telling me this at the time.) Secondly at your age (Sorry I hated that too) your powers of physical recovery are truly amazing and all the physical things you mention will improve. None of us really reach our full potential and I suspect you are probably still clever and creative use what you have to the best, you'll surprise yourself.


You won't really believe anything I've said on an emotional level, but try and remember it even if you don't really believe it at the moment. You best strategy is to live a day at a time, break the day up into chunks and just work through them one at a time. Remember you are recovering from a horrible life threatening illness, you must be incredible strong to have got this far, I really admire you, so be kind yourself you deserve it.


And good luck
Reply:Claudia sweetheart, I know how you feel. Your eating disorder consumed you. You didn't ask for your disease, but you seem to have overcome it. If things got really awful, you may have fallen victim to this awful disease. But you have pulled through and you are alive to experience life to the full. The human body is an amazing thing and its ability to handle severe stress is mindblowing! Cells regenerate, they grow, they replenish, your brain and your heart and your bones can only get stronger from now on. If you are recovered and you are able to eat, then I think it would be wise to eat foods which are nourishing to your body. Your brain would need Omega 3 oils, your body would need fresh fruit and vegetables, proteins and wholegrain carbohydrates, your bones would need calcium, and your heart would need LOVE. Love yourself and you will shine. Drink plenty of water for your skin, and try some green tea to regenerate you skin cells. You will get through this and you will become a better person from it. Your life starts now so make the most of it and be happy.





Take care and keep well.
