• (1 vote) I think/ know i am anorexic.
  

  everyone’s right here, but i dont think anyone here is going to actually be able to HELP you here dear. we can offer suggestions but you sound pretty set in your ways. like me, stubborn about it because i’ve struggled with the same things and i understand everything that you’re feeling.
  telling her the right thing to do and the bad effects it will have on her body probably isnt going to help her.
  even though you’re right about the starving children intangiblemiss, and it’s good to see that, it doesnt matter to someone who’s going through the emotional toil that anon has/is going through. (not that those kids dont matter to someone with and eating disorder, but it wont fix any problems). i’ve been to the countries and hugged the starving kids feeling their delicate ribs with my also delicate hands. and i’ve also felt my own hunger every night and my own fingers down my throat.
  anon you’re asking for help, and i’m no expert by any means, but i think what you really may want is someone to HEAR you and someone to understand something you’re going through. whatever it may be. horrible or not. any frustrations. you need to be heard and you need to be accepted.
  we hear you and we accept you. talk to me, talk to us anytime.
  i’ve posted thing on here about wanting “help” with my eating disorder and i now know that i never truly wanted help in the first place. i just wanted someone to listen to me. someone to hear me and just be there because there was no one in my non-internet world that i could talk to about it and it was eating away at me (literally).
  so please anon, talk to us. that’s the best medicine. i promise.

• (1 vote) Why is there so much fear or hate of people of different culture
  

  i think there is so much fear/hate because people just dont know.
  it’s when people dont understand other cultures and their ways that things get misinterpreted. it kind of reminds me of that show “taboo” on the discovery channel :)
  
  i read someone’s response to someone on this site once that i though was said very well. i dont remember who it was or what it was for, but she said that french people are often misunderstood by americans (and others, but i’m not sure. i wont speak for another culture i’m not apart of) because in france it’s customary to so “bon jour” when you walk into a store, or a shop, or walking down the street possibly. we dont know that. i didnt know that until i read that post.
  it’s considered very rude not to say that.
  
  
  do you see what i mean? it’s just two different cultures misunderstanding the other.
  
  i’m sure there’s more, but that’s one of the main things i can think of.
  
  as for racism. that i just dont understand in and of itself.

• my dad is scaring me.
  

  you guys are so great. thanks for your interest in helping.
  we’ve tried to sit him down and talk to him, but he only gets mad. i dont know what in the world gets him so mad about us caring, and trying to help him. he just wont have it.
  
  what sort of stuff does montel do? i’ve never watched him. maybe i should check a show out.
  that sounds like it would be wonderful.
  
  i may start dropping subtle hints now and again. like the pamphlet thing, or print out some information on what sort of health problems he may get (or unknowingly have) and leave them around for him to see.
  
  my old manager at work used to talk about both of our dads and how unhealthy they are. her dad just went in to the hospital with serious health problems, including dementia… not only horrible for her, but a bit of a scare for me too. looks like he’s not in good enough shape to recover.
  what if that’s my dad in a couple of years? i dont know if i could stand it.
  i dont know if he could will his way out of something like that either. he’s always been one to have a bit of a defeatist attitude when things start to go wrong, and i strongly believe that would play a huge role in any hopes of recovery if anything were to go wrong.
  
  (he wont go to the doctor, either).

• piece of caca laxatives.
  

  thank you. that makes sense, but i dont think i use them enough to for that to be the problem.
  i could go into detail about how often i use them and why, but that’s beside the point.
  i’m just looking for light at the end of the tunnel.

• eating disordered, can we talk?
  

  thank you so much sahara.
  i’ve tried something similar to this before, but it was never very healthy. something along the lines of apple for breakfast, banana for lunch, and an orange for dinner.
  this is something i should still try, with the addition of some more healthy food :)
  it’s so hard since my parents have only junk food in the house, and i have to buy my own food if i want anything remotely healthy… but i always have those doritos staring me in the face.
  thanks for your support, and interest in helping me.
