Hi hang in there and don't let it get that far again.

Frankly I get tired of all the shows regarding losing weight and would love to see a show dedcicated to eating disorders. There are thousands of girls out there who are struggling with this, and twice as many parents feeling totally helpless.

Mrs Lovett, You should talk to your psychiatrist about what is going on with you and in your life. If you fell like you need inpatient there is a problem and sounds serious. But I think you are very wise to even admit there is a problem and reach out. usally people stay in denial. So please keep reaching out and talking and get a hold of your Dr. And please keep poting there are some great people on this sight.

Keep on keeping on

Mrs. Love,

There are free 12 step programs in every state.  OA  over eaters annonoumus (sp) sorry I spelt it wrong deals primarly with men and woman who suffer from what you described.

I am very proud of you for recognizing you need help, but if you surrond yourself with this support group perhaps you do not need to go inpatient.

The diet pills, laxatives and those sort of behaviors are truly only the sypmtoms.  OA can truly help you get the answers for you to live a healthy productive life!

I wish you well my friend.
