NEWS: Diabulimia Helpline has officially been licensed as
non profit organization in Washington State. Next Step:
FEDERAL!!! So start donating now, and support the first
EVER organization dedicated to the support, awareness, and
eventual cure for diabulimia!!!!!!
Diabulimia is the fastest growing trend in eating disorders
among young diabetic women, and the most fatal. A very real
disease with very real and deadly consequences.
Please don't forget girls that a single DAY without insulin
is worse for your health than smoking a pack a day for a
WEEK. That for every weekend you go without insulin, you're
saying goodbye to a functioning nerve in your foot! And for
every month you're in the throws of diabulimia you're
upping your chance to end up with eye surgery, dialysis, or
sterility. And for every YEAR, you're chance of kidney
disease rises exponentially. That is if you don't fall into
a ketoacidosis coma first. This WILL kill you, but only
after putting you through some of the most excruciating
years of your life. TAKE BACK CONTROL OF YOUR BODY, while
you still have the choice to do so!!
The medical, psychological, and personal consequences of
this disease grow every day and are never ending. But like
so many addictions out there, and do understand that an
eating disorder IS an addiction; there is life onthe other
side. Being here means you're ready to take the first step
to find that other side.
I work individually with diabulimics and friends/family of
diabulimics to find treatment programs, understanding and
informed endocrinologists, psychiatrists who specialize in
eating disorders, and anything else that will help you on
your journey to recovery. Just click on the
Contact Me tab on the left of your
screen and send me an email letting me know what we can
do to help! Welcome, it's time for your
real
life to begin.
All my love.
