I put on the TV, planning to watch something while studying. (I cant study in silence. I almost always have to have either music on, a tv series playing or something on.) and guess what comes on?
Dr. Phil - Starving to Death. About anorexia and bulimia.
It was awful to see those girls, but i know what they've been through.
I couldnt find the link for the whole episode on youtube, but if you want to, you can search for it online.
Dr Phil - Starving to death,
I did find a little video clip from the episode. And i think this is the most important thing he said.
As this is what i say aswell.
To really recover... you have to reach that stage where, you just cant take it anymore. Anorexia is hell... but you have had enough. That you can no longer stand out with the anxiety and panic... that you will go against the voice in your head, that you will do everything you can to recover.
That is the stage i was in when i finalyl decided to recover. I was so sick. I was so tired of being sick, that i couldnt take it anymore. Of course, my first decision was to OD again, and actually kill myself. But as i was unfder24/7 supervision. I had to do things right, and in time i realised i wanted to live.
Sometimes you have to come so low... that you just dont want to be sick anymore.
Ofcourse, that doesnt make recovering easier... but it does give you more motivation.

Life without Anorexia
I am a generally happy girl who loves running, going to the gym and eating food!! Though my life has been very different.
I spent 5 years sick with anorexia nervosia & purging tendencies & over exercising. I was depressed and self harmed. I spent 2 years in different treatment centres.
After alot of struggles, lots of ups and downs, suicide attempts, tears, anxiety, panic and never thinking i would be healthy.
I am now declared healthy from anorexia nervosia.
I have been blogging for 4 years, and my whole journey is written in my posts. I now represent healthy and happiness. I want to show anyone struggling that it is possible to recover, no matter how hard it may seem.
I am happy and healthy and living my life. Going to school, meeting friends and trying to find myself in this world.
I write about my daily life, but also try to write posts about how it was when i was sick, advice and tips.
I am open and friendly, so dont be scared about writing a post or sending me an email at: [email protected]
