I wasn't giving anyone a row!! I was just trying to offer the gentlest of E-Slaps you'd requested! 
For some reason, this post made me well up a little bit more than usual. You're so nice, Toto/Tommy.
Good luck to all of you, posters and shy readers alike.

Bless you <3
Earlier tonight, trying to make the best
Genuinely feeling a bit more positive
Since I have been here I have not drank (obviously), SI'd/picked at scabs, refused MP or put up a stink, and tried to be polite and pleasant and not a pain. And I have not puked, and I have DEALT with handling the liquid calories ok (without alcohol in them to make me forget...)
And tomorrow will be a challenge with solids, but tomorrow is not today.

Lovely photos hun! You're amazing. *sends you e strength and hugs*Original post by squiff93
I feel so bad. Ate 3 rice crackers and sweet potato after 9 it wasn't measured everything about it was bad. I feel fat heavy and sick my eyes are watering I feel like I'm going to start shaking. I dno what to do. I dno whether to be sick or not I hate throwing up but I don't want this in my stomach anymore. I need to punish myself. Cut maybe but people will see it tomorrow. Why am I so bad and fat and weak. Omg I want it out!
You are NOT bad or fat or weak. You need to eat, you can't live without eating. You can do this hun, don't give up and don't give in. Original post by Aemiliana
I've been avoiding this thread because it makes me all teary and I need to revise but to everyone and squiff - fight, never give up fighting your illness - it gets so much easier once you're that little bit into recovery than living with it, trust me

Original post by Kebabbi times a million billion. Don't feel bad; I think you needed to get that out. And now I think you need to leave it on the page and try to move on tomorrow will be a better day, you will absolutely get your A levels and you will ABSOLUTELY get to UEA because you do deserve it and because you are absolutely better than all that crap your ED is telling you.
Custard, that photo is lovely and you are an inspiration

Thanks so much for your lovely comment. And your e hugs. I needed that! I've been watching a youtube video of a guy taking the mick out of Patti Lupone which has been making me laugh hysterically so I feel slightly better now. I think I keep underestimating how hard it is when I'm so worried about exams and I know I'm not doing enough and my ED hates it when I'm lazy which feels like every single day but hey. I can only do what I can do and if the stupid pooey piece of poo (
) in my head won't let me concentrate, I'm trying the best I can atm. Anywhoo, tomorrow is another day. 
Hope YOU'RE ok and your revision isn't stressing you out! Original post by Miss_Scarlett
How often do you guys have appointments ??
Doctor's appointments or general weigh-ins and stuff?
I'm supposed to see my psych once a fortnight but it works out once a month. I'm not seeing her until my exams are over which will make it two months since I last saw her. I have weigh-in/nurse appointments once every two weeks.
I don't have a dietician anymore because my dietician left and I refuse on principle to see the other one who said awful things to me when I was an inpatient but yeah... going off on a tangent. Hope you're doing ok Miss_Scarlett.
Haven't seen you around in ages.Original post by diamonddust
Hope you're doing ok Miss_Scarlett. Haven't seen you around in ages.
Hope you're doing ok Miss_Scarlett.
Haven't seen you around in ages.i feel like a worthless piece of ****

Oh God what gave me away?!? And yeah, I was worried that people I dislike would find me and it would cause issues with keeping the peace/preventing the cold war warming up!
I'm good thanks, you? Definitely a lot healthier than last year, but that's not hard!
Great to see you posting custard, I agree you have a lovely smile 
I really hope that tomorrow is also a good day, if you get panicky think of us all here cheering you on!
Keep thinking of Reading and the difference you will make to so many people. I am sure there are many on here thinking if custard can do it, so can I.

Diamond, you going to UEA?!
YOU ARE KIDDING ME! The University that I used to go to was UEA.
The University is AMAZING! Norwich has so many HMV's. The University is FULL of amazing clubs and societies, staff are really nice... Good place to be!
Sadly I'm going through a rough patch at the moment but I won't go too far into it, incase it dis-heartens people but I am SO proud of people here for pushing through! Some people seem to need a tad more help though....
The mental health team are supposed to have contacted me back by now. No news for 3 weeks. ( >__>')
Also Custard, nice seeing you. (-__^) You look tired, but when you smile with your eyes your face glows with an amazing glowiness. ;]

Don't let the eating disorder destroy your life! Life after an ED is so worth it - it really is great! And stop calling yourself fat - negative automatic thoughts (NATs) like that only reinforce your ED and beat you down, making you feel worse
And from what I've been told, multiple organ failure hurts like a bitch to die from. You can beat this and you can live a healthy, happy life, I promise.

You went to UEA? That's so cool! Were you doing History or did you totally change direction? I hope you didn't leave because of illness?
I really really hope I make it there! I keep praying to a God I don't actually believe in that I'll somehow get the grades because it will crush me if I don't. And rough patches SUCK. You can push through it though! I'll try and stop posting depressing posts and then you can post here without being triggered! I've just realised my usage of Americanisms is directly proportional to the amount of Glee I watch! I clearly watch far too much Glee!

Oh God, that was/is EXACTLY my thought process too. Don't. Just don't. It's painful and scary and it's such a waste of a life. You deserve so much more than this horrible illness. And also, you're NOT fat. I know I'm being a hypocrite but calling yourself fat will just make you feel worse and you don't deserve to feel like that. Don't give in.

I love swearing at the ED! ****ing piece of ****!
It's so cathartic! It's only recently I've been able to get angry at it because I think this is the most... able(?) willing (?) to live I've been in years and I don't know why. I think it's because I know how far I've come and I even got into the course I never thought I'd stand a chance at getting into and my life can be so amazing if I manage to beat this and chase my dreams. God, I sound like a hallmark card! 
I'm usually so damn negative and I'm sick of it. I'll hate myself if I'm like this years down the line, on the borderline, not 'ill enough' to get help but not well enough to live like a normal person. So I have to at least TRY to get better.Original post by diamonddust

And yeah, it's pretty awesome but a lot of unis will let you take modules outside of your subject so you can dabble
