[Frankenstein's Bride]

Hey guys, i think this is bad so I'd rather get advice before anything major happens. I have insanely low self esteem, i honestly hate myself (cliche i know). I'm obsessed by how i look and I've recently been desperately searching for pro ana sites. Yes i actually want to be ana. That's why I'm here. I need some advice to help me feel better about myself before i do become anorexic or bulimic.

You need to get some help before you develop an eating disorder.
Make an appointment with a counselor either through your school, your doctors or by seeking one out yourself.
A counselor can help you if you let them.

What you can also do is start taking a bit of time out of each day to do something for yourself. It doesn't matter what you do as long as it is something you enjoy and you are safe doing. Also, make sure to variate them from day to day as it will help make it feel like you are treating yourself. It will feel weird to do to begin with, but with time it will become second nature.

Carole (Sapphire) already covered the psych part.

However, you probably should hear this. I browse/post on a few pro sites(yeah yeah. No lectures please). Very very few people will help you devlope an ED.Hiding, sure. Avoiding doctors, sure. "Getting" an ED isn't going to happen.

You don't want one.. Not really. I'm sure you want help, and you doon't like yourself, but ana won't help you feel better about yourself.

flying[star] is right. You really don't want to be ana.
I've been struggling with it for several years. At first I thought, oh awesome, I'm going to feel better. In reality I was only lying to myself.
Being ana isn't going to make you feel better, and it certainly isn't going to do wonders for your health.

Any eating disorder is dangerous business. There are many places you can go to find support groups in your community. The internet can help,
Try searching 'eating disorder support groups in [insert your city and state]

Body image is something that is pushed on everyone. The 'perfect' people we see on television and magazines aren't actually perfect.
Most of them are air brushed. Others are so skinny you can see almost every bone in their body.
That isn't beauty.

If you truly feel like you hate yourself, or that you aren't pretty; I suggest counseling. They help you find your own clear perception of beauty.

Hi there.

You sound in a very desperate place right now, but wanting an eating disorder shows that you have some very serious issues going on in your life, & in yourself right now.

I'd advise you get help as soon as you possibly can, this is extremely dangerous.

Please try & stop visiting those sites, they are created & run & full of very sick, unwell people, who need serious help.

Eating Disorders are lethal.
They can, & will, kill.
It is not a way to look pretty, lose weight, & the key to happiness.
It is a way to look skeletal, to suffer serious health consequences, & the key to serious mental health problems.

You don't want that.

Please get some help, you still have a chance to stop this before you really get into some serious trouble.

Take care, & if you ever want to talk, PM me.
