Answer
Hi Kristine,

I'm so sorry that you're feeling so badly about your body right now.  I've been there myself and I know how horrible it is to feel so desperate and hate yourself enough to just "not care".  I also apologize as I can't ethically give you tips on how to hurt or kill yourself and I also assure you that the risks are not even worth the potential benefits.  I don't want to lecture you as I know, when I was in a bad place with this all, that it was the last thing I wanted to hear.

You deserve better than this and I hope that today has been a good day and that you can see this.  Please know that you are not alone in feeling terrible about your body and wanting to take extreme measures but also know that you can get past this and have the body and life you want without killing yourself.

Feel free to write again if there is anything else (non tips to hurt yourself) that I can help with.

Take care,
Meg

Expertise

I am recovering from about nine years with my eating disorder and while I am not a psychologist, I`ve accumulated a good deal of knowledge about eating disorders as well as my own experience over this time. I`ve mainly struggled with anorexia, but have definitely had times where I have engaged in bulimic behaviors as well. I also struggle with over exercising, but am about to be certified as a personal trainer and have learned moderation as well as how to treat my body well so it can perform at it`s best. I promise to give an honest answer to anything asked, and I want to say that while it is a long, scary road---it is possible to get free of this and it is so important to keep on taking little steps and knowing that you are not alone.

Experience

Sufferer for nine plus years. Also, my Mom has struggled with this issue- as have others in her side of the family.

Education/Credentials
My degree is not in psychology, I have simply lived with and overcome an eating disorder.
