DEATH

TODAY I'M SAD, ONE OF MY COUSIN DIED TODAY...IT WAS A LONG STRUGGLE WITH ANOREXIA..HE WAS ONLY 30YRS. OLD.  IT BRAKES MY HEART TO KNOW HOW LOVE AND DEPRESSION CAN GET THIS FAR WITHOUT ANYONE ACTUALLY PAYING ATTENTION. I FEEL LIKE WE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE WE SHOULD OF ALL NOTICED OR HOW DIDN'T WE.. NOW IT'S TOO LATE IS GONE AND I'M LEFT WITH UNANSWERED QUESTIONS. ALL I CAN DO IS REMEMBER HOW HE WAS AND HOW WONDERFUL OF A PERSON HE WAS AND HE STILL IS BECAUSE HE WILL STILL GO ON IN MY HEART AND I WILL BE A BETTER PERSON. BECAUSE JUST LIKE HIM I STRUGGLE WITH DEPRESSION PRACTICALLY THROUGHT OUT ALL MY CHILDHOOD TILL NOW. I HAVEN'T REALLY BEEN TREATED JUST PUT IT ON THE HOLD PILE IN MY LIFE. I DON'T WANT TO END UP LIKE THAT I CAN'T I HAVE MY KIDS AND EVEN WITHOUT THEM I CAN'T DO THIS TO MYSELF AND MY LOVED ONES THEY DESERVE BETTER...THIS IS JUST BREAKING ME IN MANY PIECES. FOR EVERYONE WHO KNOWS SOMEONE WITH ANOREXIA, TREAT THEM LOVED THEM AND DON'T JUDGE JUST ASK WHY? AND HOW CAN I HELP, GET TREATED AND LOVE THEM AND MAKE THEM NOTICE HOW IMPORTANT LIFE AND THEIR LIFE IS TO THE WORLD. EVERY PERSON COUNTS IN THIS WORLD.

Feb. 10, 2008 at 6:13 PM My cousin just went through treatment at Roger's Treatment Center in WI. She is only 19 and is still struggling. She's getting better and has overcome a lot, but unfortunately anorexia is a LIFE LONG BATTLE... there will never be a day that goes by that she isn't thinking about everything she eats.
