Anorexia forum

[Lokidoki]

The anorexia forum went nuts and I'm totally over it. The attacks on wannarexics are ridiculous and people judging whether they deserve to be called anorexic or not is just irritating. I don't want to be annorexic and technically I'm not. I'm living like an anorexic again like I did for seven years straight and then on and off while in relationships. It's impossible to hide my disorder from guys so I try my hardest to eat normally but then I deal with the guilt of eating like that during the whole relationship. As soon as I'm single, like now, I go back to my old ways. Sooo technically since I just got back to my old anorexic ways, but I'm not anorexic because I"m not underweight yet. So I guess I'm EDNOS with anorexic and bulimic tendencies...I just like posting on the anorexic forum because I was a diagnosable anorexic for soooo long and it gets more responses than the EDNOS forum, but it's gotten all crazy on there. I wish more people came to the EDNOS forum. There would be less bickering on here because none of us are going for the title of anorexic.

I know right? I can agree with you. I'm starting to come in here more.

I just joined and I want some people to talk too. I have been on maintenance for a while and have posted on both this form and the ana forum where I thought it was appropriate. Want to share my story on the ana board but am a little afraid... I am struggling right now with maintenance. I am frustrated and I need the support. The thing is I am loosing ground because I am tired of feeling like I am living a lie. I just don't know what to do with myself. Go back to restricting and liquid fasting like I used to for control because it is comforting or keep the status quo of maintenance and put up with the kool-aid of friends and doctors?

I agree with you, Loki. That section of the forum has gotten extremely judgemental, unsupportive, and elitist. =/ How does it make sense to be elitist about an ED?! =/ Madness, I say.
More people need to move to the EDNOS section, since I would wager that a lot of those who post in the Ana bit probably are more likely EDNOS (Myself, for example). It's sad that the place for support has turned into such a battlezone. :( 'Wannarexics' obviously have problems, and should be approached carefully, rather than attacked. =/

Well, anorexia is a mental disorder so I wouldn't really blame the forum for going a little... um... crazy.
Oh bad joke, bad joke, I apologize.
But I do agree. Wannarexics are doing as much harm to their bodies and minds as any of us eating disordered. If they come here for support then, hey, it should be here for them, no questions asked.
