If the staff at CH didn't look into the validity and credibility of this e-mail they would not be doing their jobs and they could risk losing their jobs by ignoring the e-mail.
Whoever sent this e-mail could well have saved your life. They have informed CH of ED behaviours that you have been engaging in which you have not divulged yourself. Instead of being bitchy about this person I think you should be grateful that they took the time to do what they did.
Also, you do not know for sure that it was a member of RYL who sent this e-mail as you are also a member of other ED sites. Are you leaving them too and accusing one of the members on those sites of sending the e-mails? Or are you targeting RYL?
I think its good that you are leaving because you have gone on about the same things for years now. There is a common theme in ALL your threads and then when you get what you have been asking for, talking about, whinging about etc, you get the drift, you slag it off, don't work with the staff, con people etc.
Leave RYL and get a fresh start. Work with CH, talk to them, accept the help offered and ask for the help when you need it. I have a strong feeling you wont leave the other sites but thats your porogative.
Good luck
Agree.
I do wish you the best of luck though.
And I hope that, now these issues have been raised, you can work with your team to actual get the help you have been saying you wanted. Don't throw it away because you are very unlikely to get a third chance at this.
I'm not sure if you actually want to get better, or if you just want the attention, but, I hope they can make you see that you need this, before you die. Because, now, it's not a case of if, it's a case of when.
I have neglected to comment on this situation for many months now. Perhaps you'll never read this, but I'm pretty certain you'll be back here, whether under a new name or not.
Anyway.
I see this post as merely seeking more attention.
Of course the community will give it- people are fascinated by a train wreck.
You could of course change your username. But in reality, taking time away from here will probably do you far more good than staying here; as it stands, this is just a forum in which you can graphically describe your desperate state, and then turn around and refuse all the help that people are bending over backwards to give you.
The overall effect on the community is something to also consider. The details and drama surrounding yourself and this situation is nothing but negative.
Don't get me wrong, I hope you do get well, but this website is fuelling your disease and the massive amounts of attention you receive here is only feeding into it further. As it stands, why change? You get to indulge in the eating disorder, people fall over themselves to support and help you, you feel looked after and wanted. Those are compelling (albeit, negative and dangerous) factors in which to stay this way.
We can't cure you, you can only cure yourself.
(before anyone starts flaming me and accusing me of "not having any idea what Helen is going through", I have had an ED for many years now, I have been in these places and still am, so actually, I know exactly what it is like and what is needed to change this).
I hope if you do have to leave that you'll begin to recover from your ED, there's more to be had in life than ED's and metal illness, recovery is worth the hard work :)
Not being funny or anything but you still have a profile up on RYL which says that you're (obviously I guess) still a member. Its confused me, I thought you were leaving and therefore you would delete your account and cancel your membership, neither of which are done.

^ Slightly uncalled for, Helen doesn't have the ability to change either of those things, they are moderators powers. If she doesn't want to visit here to change her profile to empty, then she doesn't have to.
Yeah, I'm not sure that there's anything to be gained for anyone from continued attacks on this thread now. Helen hasn't been online since she made the original post, everyone seems to have said their piece. All this seems to be achieving now is keeping bad feeling going on the board and distracting from posts from other members who are struggling and looking for support.
RBT x
I give myself very good advice
But I very seldom follow it
Could explain the trouble that I'm always in...
If there was an email sent to the place you're at, the staff would be dubious about the content of it being genuine.
Yeah they may have mentioned it, and I'm sure it was embarrassing.
But really, just pay attention to getting yourself well.
It's your own conscience you've to deal with if you're still engaging in ED behaviours.
The person who sent the email, if it really was out of care - would have been much better off making a phone call or visiting and openly bringing it all up with you and the staff.
But at the end of the day it's all down to you, whatever anybody else thinks or does.
I think the line between the internet and real life is blurring way too much atm.
Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do you want?
Apologiess......wasn't meaning to be funny......I was going to leave 18 months ago due to a long term hospital placement and got told that I would have to delete my account.....I only noticed because I was looking up another member who has helped me recently.
No offence meant...didn;t mean to sound bitchy *groan* geez, im not putting things across right at the moment.
Sorry Helen if you read this.

Mine wasn't an 'attack.' Think I had to explain this on another thread too.
Just because someone isn't *hugs all-over-the-place* supporting someone doesn't mean that they're attacking them instead. It's not that black and white.

I know I haven't posted here before, and it probably isn't my place to say...but I think this thread has created a lot of hurt and bad feeling, and getting upset with each other isn't going to make this situation any easier.
Mods - maybe it's time for this thread to be locked?

No? I just was agreeing with what this person said. I don't 'dig' at people. I wasn't reading all these responses because I'm just not involved with the drama. I just thought it was a smart comment? Sorry if I'm stupid? Peace and love everybody, jeez.
This thread should probably just be allowed to drop off the page now. I'm sure the people who need to know this information have now been informed (and if not from here than elsewhere on the interwebz). People are now just getting upset and such so I'm just suggesting it's best to leave it be now.

lets let this go to bed now
