I've been to pro-ana sites, and they are bad news. I hate to admit it, but went out of pure curiousity; then I just kept lurking around to see what everyone had to say...So many of those girls have such warped ideas about themselves and how they feel about food. IE: feeling guilty about eating 5 grapes over the course of a day.
They claim to "support" one another, but it is never good to encourage a young girl to continue with her 20 day fast, week long binge/purge cycle, to "Be thin, and stay strong..."
It's not proactive at all...and they are so
young too, many not even 18. (All the more depressing.) The atmosphere is too competitive and just plain toxic.
I understand how you feel...You seem to have gone to the site on impulse? I did too...I'm not sure if this is how you feel, but personally, I can get in a super self-destructive mode, and I just don't care what happens to my body...Hence poor eating habits, SI, drinking...I'm not implying that's what you're like, just letting you know I can empathize.
