Anorexia

jennichad217 @jennichad217 (275) • United States 22 Nov 06

Has anyone here ever had or knows someone who is anorexic. Or has any other eating disorder. What do you think of this disease. What do you think emotionally causes this to happen to a person.

cersei Well, I'm bulimic. I was very depressed for several years before I "started", so I picked it up as a coping mechanism and to numb my emotions and...so it goes from there. I guess it persists because I hate myself, everything about myself; no aspect is safe...

Blame it on Kate Moss?!?

ester_tamisin @ester_tamisin (522) • Philippines 27 Jan 07

A lot of people believe she is to blame for the ever rising problem of anorexia, bulimia and drug abuse among the youth, are you one of them?

3 responses

cersei I think it's a little simplistic to blame problems so complex on a single person, so no. Things like that fester for years before they rise to the surface; maybe Kate Moss served as a "trigger" for someone, but that's the extent of it, in my opinion.

School Making Chilldren Stressed and Depressed.

Bigdougieb @Bigdougieb (147) 28 Jan 07

People care for their children. Love them and wrap them up in cotton wool. Make sure they don't do too much and keep their lives happy and then they send them to school. There has been many scientists who have linked the...

cersei Yeah, school definitely has the tendency to encourage depression. I don't think anyone ever feels like they really fit in at school, and not having that figurative safety net can have a drastic effect on some. Especially when you're completely ostracized by...

Have you used "ZOLOFT" to treat depression? Whats your experience with it?

megs85 @megs85 (3142) • Australia 27 Jan 07

When I was diagnosed with sever postnatal depression, I was prescribed Zoloft to help treat it. At the beginning i was both ashamed and embarrassed at having to use medication, but my experience with this drug has been nothing...

cersei It's good to hear you had a positive experience with Zoloft! I took it for a while when I was depressed, and I guess it helped some. The weird thing about it (and other medicines like it, I suppose) is that you don't really notice them helping you till you go...

When you order Pizza what do you order on top?

yoleis27 @yoleis27 (557) • Israel 3 Jan 07

I love my pizza with extra cheese, black olives, tomatos, onion and pepper. Sometimes with green olives, also black are much better :P What about you?

19 responses

cersei Extra cheese and hamburger is the way for me. Sometimes I experiment and order a pie with black olives, but not often.

Pizza in a restaurant or home-made?

kaylen06 @kaylen06 (128) • Philippines 19 Jan 07

What do you prefer, a pizza which is branded or your own cook? Since I am a housewife, I love home-made as much as my family loves it. Chezzy is all our favorite with bacon and mushroom with peperroni.

cersei Well, I guess I prefer restaurant pizza since I'm too lazy to go through all the prep and cleanup every time I want a pizza, haha. On the other hand, I like homemade better taste-wise simply because I can cook it till it's almost burnt (my preferred way to eat...

And how did you chose that name?I have a six-month-old cat named Riley. I named him after one of my favorite songs by Megan Slankard. Ironically enough, there's a line in the song that goes, "Riley, you're not normal...". It fits...

Cat lovers, have you seen "Stuff on My Cat"?

Idlewild @Idlewild (6090) • United States 28 Jan 07

cersei Haha, I've been visiting that site for a long time. Sometimes the pictures of those cats seem a little disturbing/uncomfortable, but I guess that's to be expected from time to time on a site called "Stuff On My Cat". So yeah, it's good for cuteness and cheap...

strawberrymudd @strawberrymudd (330) • United States 12 Jan 07

If you could go out for ice cream, any chain, where would you go, and why? I'd definitely choose Coldstone! I LOVE being able to create my own flavor!!!

cersei If I could go to any chain, it'd have to be Coldstone. It was the first real ice cream place I ever went to, so I have fond memories. Plus, their ice cream just plain tastes good. It's just a fact.

cersei Right now I'm playing Zelda: TP for the Gamecube and Trauma Center: Under the Knife for the DS. I just can't get into TP for some reason, and Trauma Center is way too hard for my taste, so I'm not enjoying gaming too much right now.

cersei I'm sorry you had such a bad experience with Prozac. I've been taking it at 20mg, for bulimia and depression. I haven't noticed any side effects, but I haven't noticed it helping me out much, either. So we'll see.

Zoloft helpful?

gimpmedia @gimpmedia (23) • United States 16 Jan 07

cersei Wow, 150mg seems really high. I took it at 20mg and it helped somewhat, I guess. I never could determine if it was a placebo effect or not. But it really didn't help for the prescribed purpose (bulimia, not depression) so I stopped taking it.
