I believe that fasting is the way to attain mental strength.

Believe I spent most of December 09 in a black hole of depression, which crept up on me.

I have just completed Day 2 of a 40 day water fast.

hello,
best, best wishes.
i fast for exactly the same reasons.
i need mental health and am thin, too,
and have trouble with people not supporting.
i really need to get brave and start fasting seriously as you are doing.
Please write me if you could be in touch about this... either here or at laurakeefe@hotmail.com!!

I use the excuse that I don't ahve a weight problem, to justify not caring for myself in this very necessary way, by fasting... I really need to learn how to fast... I am encouraged and emboldened by the work of Alan Cott, MD at Bellevue Hospital in the 19770 s -- curing schizophrenics by fasting (makes complete sense to me)... he complicating factor for me is how devastating it is for me when people don't validate a desire I have to refrain from eating.. infantilizing me by calling me 'anorexic' or a danger to myself. it is terriby terribly hard and has been so all my life and i do live in the pain of that -- trying to connect with people ... so I would love it if you wrote.

sincerely
Laura
