      a deeper look into a demented mind

      the anorexic mind is quite complex and twisted to say the least..i have been tinkering with idea of starting a log about my recovery as a way of dealing with it..let me tell you this has not been easy for me,eating is the hardest thing i have to do..every day is a fuckin struggle to get all those meals in..even now i obess over every crumb i put into my mouth. I have to tell myself you never gonna get stronger without all that food..sometimes it works and sometimes not...as time passes my mind has become more clear to whats real not the imaginary fat chic in the mirror..she doesn't exist..i will start from the beginning and work my way to the present as this log progresses..believe me it won't be pretty at times and my selfloathing will shine through but iam doing this for me..

      I urge you very strongly to start a log mate, do it today, write your thoughts, experiences and feelings, we will read it, comment, add some advice, sympathise and be behind you all the way.

      Full respect to you mate, I know this isn`t easy, starting a log will give you a place to vent, talk, think and reflect on daily, it will keep you motivated and focussed on your goals.

      GO FOR IT!

      The closest thing I have to a sister is/was bulemic. Most people see it as insane, but is often a normal reaction to a fucked up situation. Your mind/heart should have never been placed in that situation, and it goes 'what the fuck' and doesn't know how to react. Besides society sees most of us as demented. Like GDiesel said, muscle dysmorphia is a bitch. I know everytime I look in the mirror I see something that isn't true.

      I know a little bit about struggle. About looking in the mirror and hating the person looking back at you.

      Change is hard, and it is seldom a pretty or graceful process. As you go along your path, you will learn the value of struggle, of forging yourself into something of your own making. Be at peace, Animal.

      sanitarium/ just leave me alone

      its one thing to sign yourself in to a treatment facility but to be sent there when you are unwilling is another ball of wax all together..after i hit my mom,my parents both decided i needed to be sent away for treatment..i told them good luck keeping me there..the first treatment place i was sent to was a lockdown facility..no escape..i was there for three months and the doctors decided that another program would be more suitable so i was moved to a group home but within two weeks i took off with one of the councelor's cars because i wanted to go to a concert and nobody was stopping me..i was arrested for that and off to juvi i went..i spent 6 months of a two year sentence for auto theft and was released to drug rehab..i ran away from that place too..fuck all i wanted to do was go home..finally my mom and the courts decided i could be realeased into my mom care as long as i still went though treatment,so i lived at home but went to a school that was a treatment place as well until my 18th b-day..if i fucked up i was going away to prison for a long time..this stage was about the time i started toying with starvation..rehab and juvi make you fat..
