" I thought I needed my eating disorder to deal with my painful things in life. I thought it helped relieve my stress and frustration. In reality, it only made all those things a million times worse. Bulimia is like an abusive relationship. It takes and never gives, but you feel like you need it. But you don't deserve it. You deserve recovery. You deserve to live your life in freedom and without the guilt and shame of an eating disorder. I'm glad you found this site, as I had tried many other recovery methods too and I was afraid that nothing would work. "
