Re: Do you have a mental illness? - February 18th 2011, 09:23 AM

Yep, I was diagnosed with Anorexia about a year ago now (shoot was it that long ago!?!?) And since then ive been hospitalised and fed by a nasogastric tube Now, well mentally im fine , physically though I am really really screwed up! No women bits whatsoever

Um I didn't really get much discrimination - a few of my friends treated me a bit oddly at first though.

Oh man I have learned so much! Im actualy thankful for anorexia, because there is such thing as recovery! Ive learned who my true friends are and Ive learned how strong I must be! Ive learned to try and be more open about my feelings, I usually try and act so much stronger than I am, and use food (well lack of) to cope. But hey, thats who I am, if people want to call me some anorexic freak then fine...but my true friends were there for me every step of the way! Ive learned about other illnesses and learned to help others properly!
