Keep Your Head Up, Gorgeous

By: Samantha (View Profile)

Keep your head up, gorgeous. People would kill to see you fall.

For about seven months now I have been suffering with bulimia. I found this site and read many stories of women fighting their own battles with eating disorders and all of the support they have been given. I decided to join so I could get better as well. I do not have a horrible case of it. Just about a couple of times a week I will force myself to throw up. Admittedly, it has become worse, but that is going to change now.

What happened to change my mind? Well, of course I don’t want to go through life like this so I told my friend. She had gone through it too so I thought she would be supportive and help, but people have a way of proving others wrong. I told her less than a week ago and she already told four other of our friends. One already knew and that was how I found out. She told me what was going on and I was shocked because I thought I could trust her.

The things that my friend told me they were saying made me cry when I first found out. They said they could never look at me the same again and the one I first told spoke horribly about me even though she had gone through it too. That was exactly what I didn’t want to happen. People judged me. My own friends judged me. It’s been hard and I know it is not going to get easier with everyone knowing and fights with my friends happening at the same time, but I am determined to fix my horrible mistake and wake up from this nightmare. I’m asking for your support during this time so I know that some will not judge. Although I fell, I fell in private and will now keep my head up and prove everyone who judged me wrong. I can get through this.

The only thing we really have any control over is the choices we make. You have made two great ones: to get better and to not let what happened keep you from getting better! I'm truly glad for you and hope you will continue to become the best you possible by choosing to do what is good for you. As for those who may not support you, you have outgrown them and I have no doubt you'll find other and better friends to replace them.
