From the HealthyPlace.com Bulletin Boards: "How Do I Make Friends?"
buggynatty:
"I need friends. I basically have none. I’m
21 and just got out of a 6 year relationship. I was bulimic for
about 6 years, too. I’m recovering-only have set backs every now
and then. I have been so depressed for the past month since the
break up. It's so hard for me to make friends now. I used to have
so many friends before the eating disorder and comfortable
relationship. I changed so much over the 6 years that I don’t
even know who I am anymore. I don’t know how to figure myself
out."

step toward disaster."
