Hello everyone! My name is Tina. I am thirty-one years old, been married for six years and have a five year old daughter. I was told only yesterday that my doctor thinks I am anorexic, after exhausting many other avenues of discovery. I've been losing weight since summertime, and we've done blood work, urinalysis, and x-ray to try and figure out why. I asked him how this can be possible without my knowledge or even without me trying to lose weight. He told me that my subconscious is bothered by something and this is its way of coping with that. All he told me to do is eat more, which I am finding very difficult to fathom. I do eat, but I Have days when I am unable to keep anything down, no matter what I do. So, I went on a search to find resources on the net and found this site. So far I think this has the most to offer me, as it's aimed towards recovery, and overcoming the ED.
What I like to do... I am a writer, I love to read, unless I've been in edit mode, in which case I find it hard to read when I'm constantly scrutinizing the writing itself, lol. I've written a rough draft of a novel, and have been working on rewrites to make it come together, since my characters took on a life of their own and decided to go places that took me by surprise! Writing is my one big love in life, and I am happy to be able to do it. I can't write poetry, however, and I don't even try. I never knew enough about it and it never made sense to me, so I stay far away, kind of like a vampire shies from garlic, lol!
I would like to go back to school, I'm interested in taking Law and becoming a lawyer. I think I am intelligent enough to do well at it, and I know it's something I would enjoy doing when I finish. It will, however, take me a very long time to do, as I've not had any university training of any kind beforehand. Well, I took an Esthetics course, but that's not exactly a prerequisite for law school, hehehe...
I like to think I am a very good friend to those in my life, I try to help whenever and wherever I can. I enjoy spending time with my friends, although I don't get much time to do that. I can't wait to meet people in here! Hope to talk soon!
