Open Question: My girlfriend is anorexic, what do i do? (STORY OF MY LIFE) HELP ME!?
Here is us - We have been dating for eleven months now. We plan on getting married and having a life together. I met her when she was 2 months pregnant. We were matched together by my best friend and her girlfriend. We fell in love and this has totally been the best relationship i have ever had. We are just so in love with each other.
Anyhow, while she was about 5 months pregnant we were talking one night and she came out and told me she had issues with food. She gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. She and him are my family. They are the best things to ever happen to me and i consider him my son. His father is not in the picture at all to this day.
She weighed around 130 at the end of the pregnancy and shortly after she was around 115. Her food issues were newly called anorexia. I at the time was eating hardees daily like it was my religion or something and she would eat what seemed to me as one meal for a whole day. We talked about her disorder and she came to tell me that she would occasionally purge or throw up what she ate after some meals. Alright… well this bothers me to death. I hate it. I understand its part of the anorexia but its just not something i am willing to tolerate the love of my life to do. It harms you, burns your throat from your stomach acid and whatnot. Well we talked about it and it ended up fading and we carried on. I asked her to stop doing it and she said “ok” so i took it as she probably isnt going to do it and she doesnt have that bad of a problem and she just likes to diet.
Our son is now seven months of age. He is the cutest thing i have ever seen. I take pride in having her and him by my side. A little more background info on us real quick. She is eighteen right now and I am twenty two. She doesn’t work or go to school and lives at her parents house. She is occupied with taking care of our son for the most part of the day but she does have down time. I do not go to school and I work at Pizza Hut(God save me). I live my my mother,her boyfriend,my oldest sister, and my uncle. I got a pretty big house we arent all sitting in one big room eating tv dinners or anything. We see each others on Saturdays and we have family time on Monday and Thursday.
So yeah around nine and ten months of dating i got into her dieting(you know taking an interest in i guess hobbies of loved ones) and i did realize that i do over eat. I got a small gut but my appearance hasn’t much to do with it. I was like wow i am eating really unhealthy and she would always fret because i have heart disease in family. I came to find that i need to eat healthier so i can live a long and healthy life with my loved ones. So day to day we would ask each other how did you do? Talking about how each others diet went that day. She is eating fine and I am eating alot better to everyone is happy.
Well today she made video blog and put it on her anorexic myspace page, yes she has her myspace and a whole other one devoted to being thin, not eating, and it says really weird shit about having a girl named Ana inside of her and everytime i see the site it makes me sick to my stomach.
Background about me- I suffer from major depressive disorder. I feel as if i have beat back this demon long ago. I went on a downward spiral after loosing my grandmother, my dad, and my girlfriend all at the end of my senior year of highschool. I hit rock bottom. I became addicted to a drug called dxm and was basicly on the verge of death let alone the hallucinations of death. I tried killing myself with tylonol PMs one night(had about 25-30 of them) well i just got really sick and recovered. Sometime after that i got on lexapro. Which in my current mind set i find evil. But anyhow i decided to stop taking it. I somehow beat back all of this and just kept a steady weed/shrooms/beer/acid diet. Mainly weed and beer, the acid and shrooms were a occasional ever couple months thing. Well i met my girl and my life took a great turn for the better. I felt renewed, like my life has value, like i matter.
Once are relationship started she got me to cut down the weed smoking, i have completely stopped drinking on my own, although i do have occasionals when i get a break to hang with my buddies. And she forced me to promise to never eat shrooms or acid again. Which I am fine with, Love is more important than any drug. Yet my spirituality can be accredited to revelations of self while on these psychedelics.(please judge not on this). So here i am sober, occasionally smoking weed which she is fine with as long as I tell her before hand. I didnt tell her one time and then later she forced it out of me big you hurt my trust issue and ill have to let my trust for you be regained. Fine Fine all is fine we continue and we are good. Like i said even threw all this noise we are in love with each other. She is the most wonderful girlfriend and the gift of love she offers i will forever be grateful for. If I have any addiction/obsession its her. I
