Support buddies

[Agytha]

This is a thread where people can volunteer buddy services on a PM basis

Mention where you're (primarily) located and on what basis you're comfortable in being contacted (please don't leave any personal details in this thread; PM only). If comfortable, feel free to mention if you have any experience with any issues.

Whether it's an ED, depression, anxiety disorders, affective disorders, self-harm or other issues, chronic or acute, everyone needs help at some point or another. There's certainly no shame in that.

Remember: you're never alone.

I'll gladly add my name in as someone people can talk to - I have experienced a variety of struggles (bipolar, eating disorder, autoimmune problems, anxiety, other things as well), and I'm really comfortable just listening and offering what I can, I like helping people and am fine in terms of being in a stable, good place from which to offer support. I'm located in Minneapolis, MN, USA. I will pass on my contact info to anyone who sends me a PM, I'm open to a fair number of ways of being reached.

I am now trying to be vegan, struggling with weight, at the same time trying to accept myself the way I am. I am from eastern europe.
I am also diagnosed celiac.
Doing ballet as a hobby, because I am to old to learn it professionally
Feel free to contact me.

Staying open and honest was the single best thing I did for myself. Write down your thoughts, talk to your best friend, talk to a stranger online.

I'm a caring person and I'm glad to help whenever I can. I've also been told by my best friends that I'm great to talk with many times, that may be because I know them well - but anyway, feel free to message me if you need someone to talk to.
I'm from Germany, been and still am struggling with BPD, depression, self harm, psychotic and other symptoms. And lots of relationship issues
Take care xxx

I am also here to listen to anyone with any of these issues or anyone who feels they need a friend.

I've had an ED and depression and been in treatment, and I don't judge anyone who's suffering. Don't be ashamed of your struggles; I am happy to stand with you through them.

I definitely love to help out in any way I can. I know there are so many of us who need the support, and I'll gladly give it and help as best as I can -- inbox message me or you can send me an e-mail (inbox me first then I'll give you my e-mail address).

I've suffered from a lot in the past, so I have some experience with the following (brace yourself...:\): eating disorders (anorexia/bulimia/chewing and spitting/compulsive overexercise/laxative abuse), depression/cyclothymia, family issues (poor relationship with parents/other family members), abuse, sexual abuse, medical problems.

Lately, I'm in need of support a bit, because I've been super worried the past week, but come to think of it, alarm bells should have been going off for the past month. I'm worried for my health at the moment (I have a lot of swollen lymph nodes, experiencing fevers, night sweats, itching everywhere like crazy, heavy awful periods -- those are normal for me unforunately, weakness, and I haven't exercised for a month because my energy has been so low! and my appetite is down, which I would normally consider a good thing, but considering the circumstance.....I'm scared )

Love to talk to anyone who has been through, is going through, or is feeling urges relating to an eating disorder or self harm of any type.
I had BED, EDNOS, and bulimia at different points in my life. I've also been a chronic cutter/burner, suicidal, and am a brutal insomniac. If anyone needs a buddy relating to those things, I'd love to be there for you as well <3.
