Senior Death Hag

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday :-)

Glad you're "healthy". Ask me anything you'd like. I have been diagnosed with PTSD and Dissosiative Indentity Disorder. I'm a sexual abuse survivor. I'm 45 years old and I've been on many, many meds, including Immipramine, Cymbalta, Remeron, Buspar, Xanax, Atenalol, Klonopin...thankfully, I'm down to just the Klonopin (and neuotin because I have nerve damage in my foot- I recently broke my ankle and foot and I'm having surgery in a couple weeks).
ED thoughts can be all encompasing. It's so hard, but important to have other things going on in your life too. I don't know how old you are, if your in school or working. It can still be a struggle for me too, and I work full time and have 2 little boys! I'm also an artist (professionally). I'm trying to make doing my own art a priority, right up there with brushing my teeth!
Were you in recovery at some point???
You can email me direct at kschanzenbach@gmail.com My name is Kim.

Hope everything went well for you. I remember that they would always weigh me with me standing backwards and wouldn't say what the weight was...I was severely anorexic and bulimic for about 10 years. Then after LOTS of hard work I truly recovered. It wasn't until a couple of years ago that I had a relapse back into throwing up. I'm back on track again, thankfully. The relapse lasted about a year. It's been 20 some years since I was in a treatment program and I'm still close (thanks to facebook!) with 2 of the women that were in treatment with me. Friendships with others with EDs are tricky. I think you BOTH have to be in the right place to make it a supportive relationship and not one of competition.

How many years have you been struggling with your eating disorders?

Not sure if you noticed, but I resurrected your Michael/Kathleen Peterson thread. Seems he has been set free.

Thank you Karma! I creeped on here for so long before I actually started posting and it kind of feels like I'm a new kid in high school lol!

I like your posts and respect the way you expess your opinion. I wish you well!

I spend too much time on here procrastinating from school/house work. I need some death hag friends I can talk to in person! lol I'm in Kansas, hit me up!

Is there a thread about Michael/Kathleen Peterson?!
