Eating Disorder?

This is off-topic, so I am using the off-topic board! Ha! Have any of you ever had any sort of eating disorder?

That's kind of an awkward and personal question. I haven't, and if I ever did, I probably wouldn't tell you.

mythus basically summed up my response as well

I don't think people are going to discuss that with strangers on a message board. Nor should they.

this did it. this confirmed it for me that there are more than a couple of screws loose on this board.

well that entirely depends WHY Twilight was asking, it's not so wrong to ask, some are more open than others. Perhaps there's a good reason behind the question.

Then perhaps Twilight should have enlightened on the reasoning as well as asking the question, given the subject matter. No?

If someone's looking for advice or someone to talk with about an eating disorder, a message board isn't the place to look. Professional counseling is what's needed. And I'm speaking as someone who's known several people with such disorders.

And if you want to hear other people's stories just because, you have problems. Eating disorders, like any other psychological problems, are extremely personal things. You might as well post a thread asking if anyone here has had severe depression or bipolar disorder. Unless someone volunteers the information unprompted, it's none of anyone's business.

End rant.

I can deal with the "Where did you lose your virginity" thread, but for Twilight to ask this without putting it into context is really going too far.

yes. I eat too fu&*ing much.

Aw, I miss the virginity thread. But yeah, too personal.

Wait a second.... A little harsh maybe?

A step is a step. If twilight feels comfortable enough to ask that question here, and I am saying this thinking there might be a reason behind it other than meer curiosity, we could show a little support and not be so cutting. This is a board populated by those in the industry and those whom are supporters of the industry. I can understand many reasons for bringing that sort of question here. Eating disorders are common in the world of acting, maybe not so prevalent in the world of theater than in other media but ithey still exist non the less.

Yeah, but haven't we already stated if Twilight has a problem, we encourage her/him with love and devotion to go seek some help?

Is anyone here an alcoholic? Crack addiction, anyone? Anyone?
