Here it goes…
My doctor wants to see me in 2 months about my weight. I have gone down 7 pounds since my last visit and she’s concerned. Yes, I went anorexic without many noticing, but I thought that was over. I’m scared of what’s going to happen my next visit. I don’t eat lunch really, I just don’t have an appatite for it anymore, it’s not my fault.
Also, I had to lie about how much sleep I get. I said 8, when I really get 5 hours or around that. It’s not that I can’t sleep, I just don’t have a desire to. I don’t know what I’m asking for or why I posted this… maybe someone can help.

Im not sure what to say, but whatever the matter is, I hope you are alright. How was your day?
It gets colder later, people say it’s suppose to snow more then usual this time. Not really sure if that helps any, but just something to look forward to.
Have you talked with you mom about these problems?
Not eating is a symptom of depression.
i really cant say much because i’m not a doctor, nor can i tell you to eat or sleep because you have no desire to do either. 5 hours isnt so bad. it’s close to 6 hours, which isn’t the best amount of sleep, but rest is rest and your body will certainly appreciate that. what it won’t appreciate is less food. i dont know if this advice is the best, but have you tried eating chocolate? it’s very addictive and fattening. if you eat too much chocolate, you’ll become overwieght, which means you’ll have to exercise, which in turn gives you something to do. the exercise will not only drop the pounds, it will *** muscle mass and speed up your metabolism, which will boost your appetite and help you sleep better. i know that less sleep and less food slow down metabolism, which will keep you awake and less hungry. it’s a vicious cycle. so don’t spiral downwards or you’ll just disappear! eat chocolate and get fat, then get slim. it’s better to be overweight than severely underweight. :)
I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with this Porphyria. I think Cell hit on a truth there.
grave yard I’m not sure eating chocolate will help. People with eating disorders do sometimes go from one extreme to the other with anorexia and bulemia.
If I only get 5 hours of sleep it eventually catches up to me. I think it’s important that you let your mom know the situation. You need healthy food with all of the food groups.
:(
How can I help?
Sometimes it sucks being a girl and putting pressure on ourselves to be perfect. UGH.
All of the media images put a distorted expectation on girls.
So sorry to hear, I wish I had something good to say, it’s just so much you’re dealing with and all I can think is “I hope things get better” and it’s not enough..
I hope you won’t mind Hannah but you’re in my thoughts & prayers tonight. *hug*
Aparently I was thin before I went “anorexic”… and now I’m concerning my doctor.

wow… really?
Believe it or not Sigurros… but I feel a lot happier now.
No, not at all. I’ve told so many people that, and now I know how it feels to be told it. =)
I will be thinking of you as well. How are you by the way?
I’ve been feeling pretty tired today, I’ve just been realising it’s been a few weeks since I took a shower (I just wash my hair, the whole seeing my whole body thing disgust me too much lately), but everything else is fine. My mom keeps insisting she wants to give me something for m birthday, she suggested getting a guinea pig - lovely creatures - but I’m not sure, because they live for 5-6 years and I don’t even know where I’ll _be_ next month.
I’m very sorry. You said something about your body? Can you elaborate or do you not want to talk about it?
In the past months I’ve gained allot of weight, I just don’t want to see how fat I am, also if I’m wearing clothes I don’t have to see my self injury scars; it always makes me feel like cutting more after I’ve seen what I’ve done in the past.
Do you have anyone personally that you really care about?
My parents and my brothers. I love them, I’d die for them, so I stay alive for them.

That’s good. The reason I asked is because the reason why I stopped cutting was because I promised my best friend nicole that I wouldn’t do it anymore. I love her, she is an amazing person, therefore I would never want to hurt her.
