Please comment :) This is my first video ever...features some of my poetry, collages, and pictures. I think many people who are suffering or recovering from an eating disorder could relate to this. NOT thinspiration...this is just a true story of my journey to recovery. Enjoy!

  • to any who stumble across this video...I made this 4 years ago when I was in college and really struggling. I eventually entered inpatient treatment. It wasn't a cure, but it was a start. I am no longer active in my eating disorder, though I will NEVER forget. Recovery IS possible, keep fighting! I'm 25 now. and while I still struggle with ED thoughts, I no longer use the behaviors. If you are struggling...reach out...I'm here if anyone wants to talk. Stay strong, keep fighting!

  • that poem you wrote...that's so true :( btw i hope you're doing well,good luck!:)

  • @JustMeDns I am doing much better! Thank you for your comment....hope you're doing well too!

  • Update on me: I'm currently about 10 pounds lighter then my lightest pictures in the video...and I've been told by a few doctors and specialists that i need inpatient. I may be telling my parents in the next few weeks and checking into the hospital. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers...someday, maybe I'll beat this!

  • I watched this video again & realized that in EVERY picture (except my childhood ones) I have some ED - from when I didn't eat in HS through my struggle with bulimia and ED-NOS. It's sad to think of how much of my life I have lost to this,and how, though i've gained & lost weight over the years, I have never really been happy. it's my hope 2 those who may be starting with ED behaviors to get help as soon as u can. I've lost 8 years of my life to this & I'm still not better.

  • I completely understand your pain. I nearly died from anorexia. Check out my video here, called A Future for Tomorrow (2) Survivng Anorexia.

  • Hey, this is awesome, so powerful and inspiring. u must be a really special person to reach out like this. xox

  • So how do you do the opposite? How do you keep a chick from eating constantly? How do you open her eyes to how fat she is?
