No one reads this, so...

...I'm going to take the oppurtunity to speak plainly and 'publicly' about what's running through my head. It's a very scary place to live day in and day out. Trust me, you wouldn't like it here.

Oh dear.

Hand me a shovel, sweet, if you need to talk I've an ear to spare. I can't offer much more than that, accept for a hug over the internet *hug*

Thank you! I honestly didn't expect any readers. It was more or less a sort of... cry into the darkness, if you will. But I'm greatly relieved someone not only read it, but also responded courteously and without a condemning tone.

Plus, your icon cracked me up. There's something distinctly marvelous about it. That could just be Gwendal, though.

Well, if you ever want to engage in intellectual babble regarding EDs, I'd be happy to rant at you. The more I continue living this very destructive path, the more frustrated I get with society's general lack of insight on the matter. There is so much stereotyping, so much prejudice, so many mean jokes at an eating disordered person's expense. And it all stems from ignorance. If I see one more random comment of, "Let's just kill all those skinny bitches so we don't have to listen to the whine haahahahahah lol," I'm going to snap some fingers. >_Er... Heh. I could really go on about this for a long while. (I live in my head day in and day out, so there are a lot of accumulated thoughts up

Might just be Gwen. He's a star~

I think it's easier to talk to someone who doesn't know you very well about things like these, because I'd be less likely to judge unfairly. I don't have an eating disorder, fortunately, just rather criminally fond of biscuits, but I'm perfectly okay with being ranted at if it makes you feel better. It's tough to appreciate the gravity of actual ED, I think, because there are a rather large number of people out there who are perfectly healthy but act like they have an eating disorder, and those are the ones I'd like to kick *knows one such person*

Keep your mind, please, and talk and talk away. Everyone needs and outlet, and I've always had one, so even if it's to some small degree, you can kindof count on me

I just don't like people being sad or distraught, even if we aren't well-acquainted or the best of friends

The thing is you aren't vain, and you're not trying to whore for attention. :/
