hi there.  well, basically iv been struggling with an eating disorder since 1995.  i am now 27 years old and i have a one-year-old daughter, and i really, really want to get better, for so many reasons which are apparent lately but also its so important now that im a mother.  its so hard and lonely having this disease.  i am currently seeking help (not for the first time) but its a long process on the NHS and we dont have the money for private healthcare, especially as my ED has drained our finances over the years!

im hoping to find support from similar folk who have a serious ED that they are truly battling with- preferably those who are over 25 so understand what this is like long-term and how it affects adult life.  i dont know what adult life is like without this illness.  im not sure i even know what i myself am like without it.  this illness defines me, im reluctant to say.  im tryna stay hopeful, i dont want to think this is it for me.
