I hang out with all the pretty people, I get compliments all the time, I have a football player boyfriend, my parents spoil me beyond belief, I go to all the parties and everyone knows my name. The only thing they don’t know is that I’m bulimic and I have very often panic attacks. I panic so much most of the time I can barely breathe. It has gotten worse. Since sometime in November of 2008 I have not gone a day without throwing up. Freak outI have panic attacks all the time. I also have autophobia, which is the fear of being alone and that is what started all of my problems. I freak out other times then when I’m alone but it is so much worse when I am. I also freak out way too much over my body image, by trying to stay in the cool crowds at school. I am recently discovering that I need help and I’m very scared. Be yourselfI just wanted to let people know that just because all the ‘normal’ people look normal and act ‘normal’ doesn't mean that they are; they struggle with things just like every one else in this world. And I want people to know that they should always just be themselves because when you freak out like I do it just makes things worse. Things shouldn’t have to be like this and there is someone in this world who does care about your feelings. And I just wanted say good luck to everyone in their journey to overcome any of their problems. Just stay positive :) This story may have been edited by Children First for Health for editorial and confidentiality reasons only.
