Does anyone have any advice on avoiding eating disorders?

Is this link any help? http://www.elephantjournal.com/2013/01/how-to-overcome-an-eating-disorder-in-6-steps/

I would highly recommend seeing a professional.
Eating disorders are disorders, you can't just avoid them or make them go away, so if you suspect having one, you should seek appropriate help for it.

So after about 8 years, Sharni finally went to the doctors about her depression & anxiety (Just over a month ago). The pills are just not making a difference though (he has to raise the strength slowly so only at 100 so far >.<) If anything, Sharni feels worse than ever. Even making phone calls can set her off... How long will it be before she gets to a high enough dose? ;-;

I just suspect I may be developing one, if I find that I fall into a category I definitely will seek professional help. Thank you!

i want to spread this kind of imagination no one else seems to share with me.
and i want to express it through art, through music. i've got
everything i need- the right equipment, the right software.
so why won't anything come to me?

the right sounds, the right lyrics- that's what i'm missing. is it
because i'm lacking emotion?
it sounds strange, but it comes to me at night. right when i'm
about to sleep, with no access to a computer.
i want my thoughts and sounds to reach someone, but how am i
meant to do that now?

sorry if this doesn't sound like much worth comforting. i just need
to vent a little.

I have the same problem. My mom already tells me to write everything down while I'm imagining it.
I don't normally write songs, I write. It's very hard for me to write at a specific time and most of my ideas come late at night. I'm a good writer, I just can't get those sights, sounds, elotions, feelings and places down on paper.
My mom used to be an honours writing student and she gave me a bit of advice: write it all down. Keep a notebook with you at all times, if you get an idea, expand it and research it. I haven't gotten to test it out much but it does help me improve.

I think this can also be done in your case. If you find the right sound, describe it in a notebook beside you. If you find lyrics, write those down too. In the morning, find out why you thought of them and try to use that to create more ideas.

Most of my ideas come late at night, when I'm about to sleep or when I'm trying to block things out. Heck, I wrote three paragraphs for a project at school in bed.

What I'm trying to say is that it might be good to have something that you can put your ideas into. This probably won't work for some people, but I'm just sharing what's worked for me in the past. I hope this helps you as well to develop into an amazing musician.

some advice would be greatly appreciated.

i really want to get into a good college, and so far it isnt going well. I had all As and crap except one C last quarter, and im trying to get my grades up for this quarter as well. What freaks me out is that I have midterms. And I swear, I am going to fail the heck out of those tests.

Ever since about two years ago, when I was in middle school, my grades started plummeting. The problem? It was probably a mix of not knowing what was being taught and just going through puberty i guess.
I thought it was going to be a small phase, but it wasnt. And I hate myself for it. I was at the top of my class, now im somewhere in the middle of failing and getting a high grade. I just dont understand how other students are so smart. They juggle sports, school and social life in one sitting. I dont know what the heck is wrong with me. Yeah, I do admit to procrastinating, which is proabnbly why my grades started floppin around when they did, but my smarts,, are just gone??
to those who are at the top of their class- could you help a fellow classmate out? What is your secret? How do i not fail my midterms????

The secret is doing everything last minute and not sleeping, ever.

[Starwood in Aspen]

I have to say even though everything has been good at home (new puppy and all) but still I feel depressed and anxious. I've been moody lately. Ever since the accident where we lost a beloved family member to a drunk driver I've been a little bit unstable. My boyfriend could confirm that I have been more clingy and I've been a lot easier to freak out. Like crying at the drop of a hat or snapping at someone for almost nothing....
