OMG lara i'm suffering from the same thing!! i know, it's very crippling...thinking people are always talking about you, staring at you, etc.....the weird thing is we both KNOW the notion is absurd....like i know i dont stare at other people or even give them a second thought....it's just all a part of low self-esteem from the ED and it sucks!! i know....all i can say is hang in there and we're all here for you- and worried! college is probably one of the most stressful times in a persons life- but you will get through it. even though it may seem like an eternity. i for one am proud of you cause i'm too petrified to go to college at the moment even though i know i should. i hope you start feeling better soon...in the mean time, try to stay healthy (and happy!) if possible....

love,
~jane~
