"My soul withered and shrank. The body became for it too large a garment. And when hope was returned to me it was another hope entirely." --Louise Gluck, "The Garment"
I'm 22, and I've been in and out of hospitals since age 16 for anorexia, self-harm, suicide attempts, and dissociation. I'm currently in long term residential treatment (non-ED based). I want to get better and be happy, but I'm at the point where I don't think it's possible for me to give up the ED. I've lived with it too long--the only way I know how to live is while I'm slowly killing myself.
I'm a poet and fiction writer, as well as an obsessive kniter. I'm addicted to gum, crossword puzzles, and Diet Coke. I love to climb trees, and I collect all things hippo related. Most of my money gets spent on yarn and books. I'm a huge sci-fi geek, and I'm somewhat embarrassed to confess that my favorite musician is Jimmy Buffett.

Re: How old were you when you started ana? « Result #6 on Nov 14, 2008, 11:12am »
I was roughly sixteen. I didn't even do it to lose weight at first. I was just depressed and didn't eat. When I realized I had lost weight and when people noticed me and complimented me I was like, "Score. I'm not worthless if I'm thin." It just kind of grew from there.

My puppy! « Result #8 on Nov 14, 2008, 11:08am »
Bear (white) and Onyx (black). Bear is the family dog, Onyx is entirely my puppy. They keep me happy. And walking Onyx is a good way to distract myself from eating! I love my dogs.
I think this one is just hysterical.
She's bigger than this now, I just like this picture.

Hello out there « Result #9 on Nov 14, 2008, 11:00am »
Hey, I just joined this site. I currently belong to another one, I've been relatively active in the pro-ana culture for about five years. I figured if I belong to two messages boards I'd be able to kill more time online and have less time to think about *shudder* eating.
