This is me, I felt it was important to post my picture...that it would add a sense of realism to this site. I'm anorectic and as you can see I'm not emanciated or underweight, I don't fit all the *criteria* for the disorder, but I have it nonetheless. Please don't let diagnostic criteria stop you from reaching out for help. I thought my doctor would laugh at me, that he'd tell me I was too fat to have an eating disorder but that wasn't the case. I'll tell you what my friends told me, they told me that we'd goto a doctor and if he didn't listen we'd keep trying until we found someone who did. You deserve help, listen to the voice inside you that tells you that, and reach out.
I promised myself when I created this page that I would try and help anyone I could. I know what its like to feel alone and have no one to talk to, its frustrating, and its scary. I'm hoping that you'll find the links on these pages to be helpful to you in your search for information and support. If you ever have any questions feel free to email me and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Also, I can be reached on icq at 1654306 feel free to page me anytime. For those of you who frequent Something Fishy chat my nickname there is Dawnmarie, you can find me there from time to time..
