I have been a cutter since I was 11...I am now 18. I have also been in and out of rehab. You need to take it a day at a time. I just kept telling my self " I am not going to hurt myself today" and if I had to say it over and over and over again, I did.  Try that... if you mess up, dont get upset, just keep going.. So what if you mess up, just keep trying not to do it...its not the end of the world if you slip up. I also paint...I find that able to get some of my emotions out. I havent  cut in maybe 1 month...and you know what treat yourself to things and do things for yourself since you deserve them. Someone told me that you have to be selfish and focus on yourself in order to get better. I hope what I've said helps. If you belong to a church you might want to get involved in group with people your age. You might be suprised I did that, and I found that people were going through the same things I was. \nYou can email me if you want to talk. \nSavedbygrace2_8@yahoo.com

My heart goes out to you. It must be hard to hear what you have described. \n\nI feel scared for you if your Mom is saying you are fat at a size 0 and you are starting to believe her. This sounds like possible emotional abuse. If she means you no harm, then it sounds like an attitude from someone who has Anorexia . It is a very difficult, yet treatable condition if the person seeks help. No matter what your Mom says or does, I hope you see a school counselor or doctor about this very soon for your own safety. They can help you find out if you have Anorexia, and can help you if some verbal / emotional abuse is going on. \n\nI've met some people who don't have an eating disorder and genuinely cannot gain weight even when they try to. This is natural and nothing to be ashamed of. A professional can help you find some answers. \n\nI wish you the best.

I know exactly what you are going through right now.  I had a fight with my mom on Sunday (yes, Mother's Day), and we still are not speaking.  She was wrong, but I think I've taken it too far now, and this is what I'm going to do.  \n\nTalk to her, and tell her the things that bother you as they are, no matter how hurtful it may sound.  Just tell her that before starting, so she can understand why are you being hurful.  I've found through out the years, that telling her my exact feelings, no matter what, always seems to work.  \n\nThe catch is, if she takes it the wrong way, you could have a bigger problem later.  It just depends on the kind of relationship you have with your mother, and how much do you really know her in the end, to make up your mind about what to tell her.\n\nYou say she's sick.  Well, that changes things a little bit.  If she has MS, then she must be tired most of the time.  If this is the case, get off her back and start growing up.  She has obviously raised a good child, if you are so concerned to voice your questions here, so take a look deep within you and identify the problem YOU have with her, and fix it.\n\nI hope this was helpful!  Have a great day!

Sweetie, you need to talk to someone who can help you.  Tell your parents, school counselor, doctor, teacher, or any other adult you trust what's going on.  You don't have to tell them that you're cutting if you don't want to, just that you're depressed.  I know it might seem like there's nothing anyone can do, but it's not true.  There are medications that can help with the depression, and talk therapy can help as well.  A psychologist can help you learn healthier ways to deal with things instead of cutting, and help you figure out what's going on around food.  They can also help you figure out what's at the root of your problems, so you can start to work on fixing whatever is really wrong instead of hurting yourself.\n\nI used to cut myself too (and I'm using the past tense very losely here), so I do understand what it's like.  If you want to talk, you're welcome to email me at emilyrose1986@yahoo.com.

You'll have the best luck if you employ the assistance of a councellor experienced in eating disorders.\n\nI believe that Bulemic impulses are in large part influenced by psychological factors that include self-esteem and also a strong sense that too many things in life that are important to you are beyond your control.  What you allow your body to consume is often one of the few things that a person can truly control and can thus become a focus of that psychological need.\n\nPsychologists have been dealing with eating disorders for a long time now and that is one area that they no longer struggle to treat effectively.\n\nYou do need to find one you feel comfortable with though.\n\nPlan on visiting two or three regardless of how they strike you, just so you can feel like you chose one you have nice chemistry with.\n\nChances are also really good that this new relationship will end up benefiting you in other areas of your life over the years and be a really positive addition to your support network.\n\nGood luch!

You need to have a serious chat about your concerns.  Do NOT allow her to make it a joke ("I'm so fat!").\n\nIf you notice her skipping meals, exercising excessively or throwing up when she does eat, tell a doctor or counselor right away.\n\nEating disorders are serious and should be cared for by a professional.\n\nBest of Luck!

I know you love your mom, but, keep your children away from her. No one should have to go through that. Not only will you have physical scars, but also mental scars. She really sounds like she needs help. Just love her and respect her and try to keep her away from anyone that you think she might abuse. When you see her hit or even be mean, say something to her. Yes, she'll say something like I did it to you and you turned out ok, but when she does just remind her of the scars she's left on your body and your heart. But, remember, she's still your Mother. Lots of Luck to you. I know it can't be easy.

You should take care of this right away. I'm 44 years old and I was a bulimic... Do you know that bulimia can hurt your heart?? I had this problem on and off during almost 20 years because of that I lost a baby because I didn't want to get fat during my first pregnancy. I always use to carry a rubber band on my  wrist to pull my hair back when I was vomiting. Right now I'm not a bulimic anymore but my heart is so weak that I cant do a lot of the things healthy people do like running. One my friends at college die because her stomach rupture. Just tell your mom and get help ASAP.

Bulimia is a symptom of a more engrained disorder. You cannot cut down a tree by cutting off its branches, you have to go for its trunk and its root. Sometimes we only cut branches, sometimes we cut off the trunk, but if you don't take out the roots, the tree always grows back.\n\nThe obvious suggestion is to go see a therapist. However, that alone will not do it. It is important to seek outside support, bulimia groups and family support are important. If family is not an option, seek friends. The more shame you have, the more you will hide it and feed into the disease. It is important to accept it and find others who will accept you for it, so that eventually with their support and your own persistence you can overcome it.

Never been bulimic before but my mom was anorexic a few years ago and now she watches what she eats, check on some information on the glycemic index\nGood Luck

I am going to assume that you are a teen still living with your mom.  \n\nThe sooner you tell her, the better!  Be sure that you go in to this conversation without an attitude, and do NOT fight with her.  Apologize for dissapointing her and tell her that you will do your best to make it as right as possible!  \n\nI wish you the best!

Maybe you should say, "Mother, I am growing up and I need a little bit of space to be my own person.  Please let me do what my instincts tell me to do instead of yours."  With a smile and hopefully she'll understand!\n\n*&#92;O/*
