April - you're married? Congratulations. :)

Thanks guys - I'll talk to my friend. It is concerning that she feels a need to drink daily - that in itself is a red flag. I really appreciate you all for taking the time to reply. :hug:

In order to be an alcoholic, is it accepted that you drink a lot in one sitting, or can you also be considered an alcoholic if you have, say, one drink a day? My friend finds herself reaching for an alcoholic drink a lot and it's scaring her. She doesn't drink "a lot", but she has started to...

Trust me, by attempting to stop her, you're simply driving her into his arms. Step back and be there for her, but your sister is an adult and ultimately it's her decision. Support her, love her, but don't judge her and don't try to influence her because if you continue, you will end up with your...

Mmm a coffee would be great right about now. :yum:

Sharing some reps around. :) Uh, what are the stars above people's reps? Sorry, haven't been on CF for a while...

Wow that's bad about the car crash - it's good to know you are both okay Katey.

Wow, I cannot believe my thread is still going after all this time! *faints*

I've been feeling really low lately. I've been avoiding going into uni, or going out because I just want to curl up and hide. I'm depressed I know. Am I likely to get out of this by myself, or will it get worse? Is it possible to live like this, or do I need help? I don't know if it's truly...

I would suggest sitting down with your girlfriend and asking her to come and see a therapist with you. Offer your support. If she doesn't want to go, tell her that you will have to go alone because you can't deal with this on your own - you shouldn't have to. I don't know how old you are, but...

First off I think it's great you want to support and help your girlfriend. If she is throwing up her food then it's a chance it's an ED. It doesn't matter if she thinks she has control over it and it's got nothing to do with binging - it's possible to be bulimic without binging. And if she...

:sigh: I'm fat. Not obese, but fat. That's why I feel stupid claiming I have an ED.

No I think it's best just to let this run its course. :)

191 and some to share. :)

I can't because I can't afford it and I also don't want to make a huge deal about it. I'm going to the uni counsellor (for free) just to talk about how I've been feeling lately. It's not that good because she's just the free uni counsellor. I guess I hope I'm not. :) My friend is male and...

So my counsellor didn't even turn up. Great. Wonderful. Fills me full of confidence.

Hi Nobility. :wave: I did tell her briefly at my last session (about a month ago) and her reaction was "But you don't look fat" and I immediately knew she wouldn't be able to help me at all. She was as clueless as most people when it comes to dealing with someone with an ED. I will tell her...

That's how I am feeling lately. Anyone feel like they just want to curl up in bed and sleep for five days? I don't want to see my friends, I don't want to go into uni, I don't want to go into public. I feel like I am fat and ugly. Today at least I made the effort to brush my hair and put nice...
