New blog written by the sister of a bulimic . . .

I am very pleased to introduce you all to a new blog that I hope will be very enlightening for us and a place of support and sharing for our families: My Sister Has Bulimia.

The author, a woman I am looking forward to getting to know much better, writes:

Part of the reason I started this blog was to just get my emotions out. I think it can pretty easy to throw them back aggressively and hurtfully when you're being pelleted with them. That's what I used to do earlier on with my sister's e.d, and obviously it got us no where. I really just want to provide a "place" where family members (especially siblings) can go and discuss, empathize, provide support for each other and know that they're not alone. I want the readers to know that the feelings of frustration, helplessness and confusion are valid but that it doesn't have to be a negative experience or process. In fact, in my experience, it's taught me about myself, and I've become increasingly aware of my actions, my words and my general philosophy of life.

I'm actually really looking forward to reading her perspective. I hope she writes a lot!

Hi x.

Just share what you're honestly feeling and thinking, and you'll soon have a huge readership, which in turn will inspire you to keep writing.

Everything you're thinking & feeling is meaningful to others in your situation, I promise you.

Much love and good wishes,

Hi

I'm an advertising student..and currently ...I'm working on a project which theme is bulimia.

I've just created a page on facebook called white ribbon

In order to raise awareness about bulimia I'm trying to promote my idea: I wanna reach the surroundings of a bulimic person instead of the bulimic herself/himself. I believe its more effective as is really hard for the bulimic to seek for a professional help...

I think that a kind demeanor is capable of motivate them..

I wanna show we all embrace this cause...

I need bulimic people to realise they are not alone.

Could you please help me to promote my facebook page?

Many Thanks. God bless we all!!

Hello, I happened to find this website that I think might help me a lot. But, I would like to ask for help for my sister. I am really desperate! my sister has bulimia, but it's not only that, it's her behavior too. She used to listen to me a couple of years ago, but now she really doesn't care about what I have to say. She steals our family money, she eats absolutely all of our food in minutes and wastes a lot of water. We have lost thousands and thousands that were supposed to be for our education(one time she even made more than 10 thousand dollars dissapear). My family is in a really bad situation because of her problem. We are trying to help her, but we don't have the money to give her any treatment. We are really miserable, and it doesn't matter how hard we try to help, she somehow doesn't seem to care. We don't know what to do, we never felt this way before. She is extremely selfish and still we support her but she keeps wasting everything we do, and everything we have. Please help us. She and I are both international students here, so our insurance doesn't cover anything... Please help us. You can contact me through the email address sister.recovery@hotmail.com
thank you
