I recently contacted "The Renfrew Center," in Wilton, CT because I'm a 22 year old male suffering from bulimia. And I was "utterly shocked," when they told me that I wasn't someone they could help and verbally implied that only women were welcome at the center. Its important for people to know this and to help identify "male eating disorders," as a evident problem in today's society.

maybe some don't want to be checked out by nasty pigs on the street. maybe if they get thin enough they won't have to worry about nasty freaks staring at them and thinking nothing but sex

@GothEmoWC I was in residential treatment with a man, and it was awkward. I think that al men or all women is best.

@GothEmoWC Well, the Renfrew center is a facility specifically geared towards women. I don't think they were saying that you didn't have an ED, or that they wouldn't help you exactly, it's just that it is a womens facility. It is sort of like an all girls college in some ways. I know plenty of other coed facilities and residential places, plus I am sure there are all male centers too.

@GothEmoWC Wow, I am so sorry you had to face that blatant rejection of your eating disorder! I hope that since then, you have been able to receive help and overcome your illness!

I've always been very self conscious about my body. I always put myself down, thanks to borderline personality disorder, always cut myself, looking into the mirror and telling myself, "You're disgusting.", "I hate you.". etc. But this past January I met the love of my life. He accepts me and has been so supportive of me. I'm slowly starting to feel better about myself. Please just remember that you're all beautiful no matter your body type, and you WILL live to see a brighter, happier day.
