Should I Listen to My Friends and Get Help?
Question by Aurelia666: Should I listen to my friends and get Help?
I just got back from a trip to Ashland, Oregon with my friends. I have an “eating disorder” which I was diagnosed with in 7th grade, I am a self-mutilator. I finally quit smoking and doing drugs, but I’m still addicted to losing weight and some habits i’ve had. While we were there in Ashland, I left after every meal to purge in the bathroom. I came back and later at night, my friends confronted me with their desire for me to stop and get help. I’m maybe at 100lbs and 5’2 and 15 years old. With my friends really pushing me to get help, …it’s making me kind of think that I made a mistake in stopping my therapy and that I wasn’t ready to cope by myself.

As a filmmaker, I identified with the creative process of expressing one’s thoughts and feelings as a means of personal healing, and I became intrigued when I discovered that expressive arts therapies existed. Over time, as I filmed the stories of women with ED, what began to emerge was the theme of creative expression being a powerful force in fostering recovery. This is a documentary film about hope and healing through these therapies. There are three primary reasons why this film is so sorely needed: 1. An important fact for people to know is that eating disorders are about much more than food, weight, and one’s body, and it would be helpful for people to understand this. Using documentary film as a tool to educate on a large scale about this terrible health risk, this film can be a great advocacy program for the general public as well as community programs and educational institutions. Gaining accurate knowledge can actually give viewers hope and save lives. 2. Expressive Arts …
