Umm hi everyone I'm new to the site and am just trying to learn how to work everything. I got a message from nika and that really got me wanting to post. I'm 16, femaile, finishing my jr. yr. in highschool, love to read and write, stay up late, wake up early, and I'm also anorexic, bulimic, and a cutter. Basically what I'm looking for is to gethelp to stop what I'm doing and hopefully help others stop as well. Basically I'm just looking for support and answers from people who know and can understand where I'm coming from. I recently told my mom and told my boyfriend way back but they're the only two I've told. I've got lots of issues that I need to overcome and I just pray that this'll help me to do it. Just writing about it and knowing that someone will read it is helpful in a way. If anyone's got any tips on how to deal I'd sure appreciate it. Well, thanks for reading and an especal thanks to nika.

First off greetings. This is a great place to find answers, ask questions and find general support from people. Dealing with it all for me is something that seems to take time, and has ups and downs but I've always been able to find support from the people here. Hope that you get what you need from bus and once again welcome.

Are you looking at any "medical intervention"?
That was the first thing that happened to me when my mom found out.
All I really have to offer is my support, if you want to talk or something. They say the first step is admitting you have a problem...but it's definately not the last. Welcome to BUS.

Take care of yourself and good luck.

welcome!! im kinda new too and kind this place a great help, a great support.
am all of things u said.....well used to be. am still a cutter and bulimic (less frequently now) but my anorexia has gone away, for now.
is ur mum supportive?
if she is u r very lucky and she is likely to b ur main help, therapy is great but u need to find one thats right for you. one that specialises in eating disorders is differnt to a special SI one (iv been to both.), if like me the two r linked, then ur therapys can b. meds r a big decision but wen at 15 before my parents knew, i put myself on them, it changed me so much for the better.......only do wot is right for u tho.
jst start by takin each day at a time. SI every2days is better than everyday for example, same for bulimia. anorexia u need to tlk thru tho, as iv learnt it often stems from other things which need to b dealt with too. wotever u chose to do, hope ur ok, n keep us informed on ur progress(? hopefully!) x
