Hey, what's up? I've been reading the past few days of your journal and well, we're a LOT alike. You remind me of how I was about 2-3 years ago. Your disorder is also very similar to my own. I also admire the courage that you have to try to tackle the problem already in your life. When I was around your age, I was still in denial. I didn't think I had a problem and that if I just ignored it, it would simply just disappear. Took me untill my problem basically took over my life before I decided F*&# this and took some action.Anyways, what I'm willing to offer you is some support from somebody that knows pretty much exactly what you're going through. You're on day 8 now, I'm just 10 days past you, day 18. I'm tired myself of telling trying to describe to people the things that I'm currently going through when they have no clue as to how to even relate to them. The help of the people on this board is also a good thing, but I don't even know the people who answer my posts on an impersonal level, they're just the providers of words to me. It helps, but it's not really enough.
Anyways, I'm willing to listen to you and try to help you through this as long as you're willing to provide the same thing for me. If this grabs your attention, just respond to this thread and I'll let you know how to get a hold of me.
Mike
