About Me:

My name is tammy. I'm 39y old and I live in chicago, Il. I've suffered from an eating disorder for over 20 years and I urge people to get help. I suffer from compulsive overeating, tendencies to starvation, and tendencies to purging. I'm see a therapist three times a week, and another therapist once a week. I attend multiple support groups during the week. What I feel is most important for people is support from others which I tend to lack...You can't do this alone. Which I am learning the hard way. An eating disorder is a disease of isolation, lonliness, aloneness, depression, deep sadness, and much more...It's not about food, it's about the feelings underneath that we are unable to discuss that we stuff and are so painful to talk about. An eating disorder is about our distorted thinking that we must correct. I constantly fight with Eating Disorder voices in my head 24/7 and it tells me all the negative things about myself and I literally have to argue with it every single day and night. It's a fight but it can be done..The eating disorder want you to believe it's your friend but it's an enemy...It's a liar and a thief and it will try to kill you....I'm trying so hard to fight this monster every single day and night so it doesn't beat me to the ground....If you have any poems or have any comments or want to post anything please feel free to contact me....Thanks Tammy
