My Name is Laura, I am a 23 year old bulimic.

I have struggled with my E.D from the age of 12. I have in the past attended group therapy and recently began individual therapy for the first time. I am on a waiting list for a treatment center in Guelph but my chances of getting there anytime soon are bleek.

I decided to start keeping track of my diary on here. Decided since I had finally taken the leap to tell everyone about my disorder it was time to share it with the world and hopefully make a difference in someone's life.

I truly hope that by reading about my experiences it will give you the motivation to get help. If you have a loved one who is suffering from an E.D. I hope this will help you to understand how they feel or, if you aren't aware of their disorder yet, that it will help you recognize the signs so you can help them.

One of the hardest parts of having an E.D. is talking to your friends and family about it. Please be thoughful when someone approaches you with a problem like this. If you close the door on them they may never attempt to come through it again.

* If you have an eating disorder please take some time to visit the Daily Strength website. It has been a strong support for me and has helped me to share a lot more than I ever thought I could.
