Dear Gwen, Have you considered my questions regarding your last post? I am sorry you have to be in that environment. I am sure it does not help anything. What about a volunteer job, or something to get your mind and self away from it all for a while? Or trying to get your driver's license, if you can get your body well enough to operate a car safely. You are fortunate to have all the material things that you do, but spiritually and emotionally, you seem starved. Let some of our warmth and caring in. You have so much give. But you need to let go of some of these notions about being super, or subhuman. In a way, you are just a regular person, who needs at least three meals a day. But in another sense, you are so very special- to me and many others :) :) :) Please give your body and soul a little more fuel today. Love always, Laura

Gwen, just so we are clear: Every Family Is Dystfuntional! Seriously everyone has some dark side, every family has problems, normal doesn't exist..in fact you can't even define what normal is. Lol. My family is extremely fucked up. I'm a failure. My sister is one really bad egg. I used to worry about it, hate it, but now I'm like "oh hell-everyone's a little fucked up."

your reaction to food is really no different than the rest of us with eds...gwen, i've been doing pretty well with recovery (all things considered), and i can tell you, your body has been through so much that it obsesses over food for months and months after it should have stopped! but i do want you to know there is hope...it stops in time if you start treating your body to the food it demands. the hardest part, right :/ take care hun, i have faith in you that someday you will beat this ed and lead the life you deserve. *hugs*

No honey, that's just the disorder talking. You know it's not you. Yes, your family's not perfect, but none are.

You are not spoiled and everyone that has an ed has a good reason for having one. Ifeel the same way i hav no reason to have an ed. I have an ok life nothing great but nothing horrible. All families are dysfunctional in one way or the other. Take mine for instance, my mom is the only parent because my dad decided to take his own life. If there was such thing as a perfect family it would have to be made up of perfect people and we all know that there is no such thing as a perfect person. Love ya and take care!

Hey honey, hang in there. You will beat this I know you will. I wish I could help you in some way. I am still thinking of you. Try and take care of yourself honey. Every family is messed up in different ways. My family is definately dysfunctional too. You are stronger than you know! *lots 'n' lots of hugs*

Hello Gwen! So your family is made up of misfits too, eh? Welcome to the human race! It seems, though, that ED is completely non partisan when it comes to whose life he's going to attempt to f*** up -- be it rich, poor, well-adjusted, completely dysfunctional -- I just don't want to berate yourself for something that you are not at fault for. Give yourself a hug a from me, and we're all pulling for you! XOXO Bonnie
