    Im like that too,my nose, ears, hands and feet are the worse. Is the bad circulation down to our depression then?or is it just something that happens? I always feel the cold, I dont mind when Im snuggled up to my son under the warm blanket. I always walk in the rain, I only use a umbrealla for my son when I take him school and pick him up. The smell of it is sooo nice and fresh. But i dont like the strong winds when Im out, im terrified im gonna blow away lol...

    I'm not sure. I've had an eating disorder since I was 9 so that may be it but my mum has bad circulation too so it may be hereditary.lol.

    I almost do get blown away sometimes.lol. I hate umbrellas. I find them restricting. I love to just feel the rain in my hair. :)
    I used to love going to the local nature reserve on a rainy summers day. The smell was beautiful.

    Ive had eating disorder since I was as young as i can remember, Im sorry to hear you had it to. Im better now but still starve myself and go through stages of not eating for days and days then will go tthrough the stage of binge eating,over eating ect. Im no where near as bad as I use to be, so maybe thats why im always cold. I have put a bit of weight on since but still get called skinny which I dont like coz Im not just skin and bone,i use to be but not anymore, i actually have some meat on me.

    I'm sorry to hear you are going through it too. :( It's horrible.
    Someone the other day said I am their thinspiration and I wanted to shout at them. We don't choose to be this way, not in reality. For me it's a coping mechanism so to speak and a desire to be wanted. I've just got referred to the ED clinic so I have no idea what will happen now.

    My doctor keeps monitoring me to put on weight. I feel like people are stalking me.lol.
    I have meat around my stomach and my upper arms. Some people have said to me in the past that I can't be anorexic because my arms aren't stick thin. I thought they were right so in effect it made me think that what I was doing to my body was ok and that I didn't have a problem and then my depression started getting worse so I went to the doctor again and she asked about my eating so it all came out. I was diagnosed the first time at 14 and then got a bit better so I guess you could say I've relapsed so to speak.

    Awwww, hugs to you hun. ED clinic is ok, I only went once my the dr that saw me in the clinic didnt really have a clue. She just told me to force myself to eat otherwise I was gonna die. I didnt find that helpful. i think my fear was being hugely overweight. growing up, my mum was always worried about her size, always dieting ect, i think tht has had an affect on me. I dont really like healthy food but i have made sure my son eats properly and healthy and I get judged.My son is very healthy and I eat with him now, even if its a small amount. I dont have an appetite at all at the moment, its gone again but I get supplement drinks from the gp rpescribed to me. Im fed up drinking them so have stopped them. Like my emotions, it goes through stages.

    I hope you get better soon with it.Better go now coz my brother and mum will be here in a bit, need to tidy up coz all they do is moan at me, my brothers tries to snoop and see what sites I go on. He moans like a woman. yet he doesnt realise he makes me feel worse and his comments hurt me. I would never say the things he says to me to anyone let alone him.Take care hun, il be on later 2nite.Hugs 2u and everyone else xxx

    I hate it when people say "Eat". If it was as easy as that we would have done it by now.lol.

    I have an appointment to see my doctor tomorrow and I've decided that I'm going to write everything down in a letter because I find that easier than talking.

    I hope things go ok with seeing your mum and brother. :) I hope he doesn't make any hurtful comments. :( Sometimes the tongue hurts more than any weapon possibly could.

    *hugs*

    Much love
