>>>>>>I don't think I'm getting worse to get sympathy. I don't think it has anything to do with Babble. I started purging before Babble. Before.
I guess you answered your own question. THough I don't think she ever said that Babble caused your purging.
Honestly, I'm confused. If *I* spefically asked others to volunteer their own personal opinion, then I'd expect others to offer me what I asked for. If I posed a *question of personal judgment* then I'd expect others to offer me what I requested. Considering that, was it just the wording or something that was unappealing then. If some of it was hard to hear, I'm sorry. ((((Deneb)))) You have every right in the world to disagree or refute anything said. I think that if a personal opinion was inserted into a thread without being asked for, that that would be slightly different then what happened here. Maybe I'm missing something - I'm not the greatest with Babble language.
I was just thinking, I don't think that "ignoring" has to be taken as a form of punishment or condemnation. It can also be a form of self-protecting. I think everyone has the right to NOT respond to whatever thread or poster they need to. Personally, when I babblemail someone to ask them for a response, then I would be wanting their attention -- eating disorder aside. She answered when you asked. I don't know.
>>>>I have real problems, they're not pretend. I'm suffering for real.
I didn't read anything I thought implied that you DON'T have real problems, or that you DON'T suffer. I didn't read anything that implied that you DIDN'T have an ED.
I don't know how kosher it is to refer to off board things but, What did you think of the questions that I asked you in reply to the babblemail you sent me? I think it's relevant. I have a few others if you wanted. Though, maybe I haven't given you enough time to respond - it was only last night afterall.
>>>>>I really do try to stop purging.
Changing subjects :) In terms of that, What about my post above D? Do you think any of those would be things you could do to try to stop purging? Wanna talk about the things you are trying already? Maybe some feedback about methods that are failing will help you improve upon them. Are you up for it? I'll be crumpled over in my chair here, all by my lonesome, all day tomorrow if you want to post about stuff like that.
blove, EL
ps. I know it's a no-hug zone, but I'm thinking of you Racer. Hope you're alright too.
