New kid on the block
 

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to introduce myself; you guys can all call me Tillie. I am a 19 yo female that lives in Virginia and attends school in the New England area.
I am finding myself here after a rough patch in life -- this past year has brought about a great challenge for me. I was clinically diagnosed with "moderate to severe depression" (whatever the heck that means) earlier in the year and I was seriosuly contemplating ending my life this past semester. Low and behold, I survived but I am still not quite stable.
As for weight issues, I know I am headed down the wrong path. I have suffered from eating disorders in the past but I recently have not been able to stop eating. I am currently about 160 pounds (actually, I am too scared to weigh myself -- my guess may be off) but should be closer to 120 for my frame. I guess I am just looking for a group of like-minded individuals to help set me on the right path.
Anyway, sorry for my sob story! I am looking forward to learning the ropes around here and I cannot wait to 'meet' some of you lovely folks!
