Just been having a hard time- struggling with a eating disorder. I talked to my friends and they treat me like i have some kind of disease that they can get from me. most people dont understand me and tell me its going to be ok. I do have a few people who understand me- its my sisters 2 out of the 4 have a eating disorder and God understands.
I just need someone to understand, not judge me but love me for who i am.

Thanks for all the encouragement! i could use some encouragement, my ed has been kind of a roller coaster and plus my friend, co-workers and family dont understand, its because unless you have experienced it- you cant understand what they are going through and its hard. my sisters understand even if they are younger and they tell me im stronger then they are and can overcome it with God.
Thanks, its been really hard because my sisters are younger then me- 14, 15, 13 and they all have a eating disorder, and they are the only ones who i can talk to and they wont judge me and especially my 27 sister who i talk to on the cell- she went through it. no one at my work understands me, and my other friends say- it will pass, and or your faking it. my roomates didnt believe me. I started to binge and purge again- which isnt good because i have a thyroid problem- which doesnt help. I also struggle with self-injury and my 27 yr old sister- tells me i do it for attention- I dont get it because im not- its release the pain and she had it to. my 15, 15, and 13 understand me.
I know it's tough when you feel like no one understands. It seems like there's the people who genuinely want to help but are clueless as to how, those who ignore it in hopes it'll just go away, those who get mad at you about it and think that's going to change things, and people who are just plain cluess all together. Stick to the people who understand because you're blessed to have them! I know it's tough though.
I know how it feels not to be understood. It's terrible and it makes you feel damn alone. But please stick to your 2 sisters and find their support, because it's killing when nobody's around who understands you xx
