Do you know....... My illness....



I told myself, I was in control.
I was wrong ..

Life with an eating disorder:

Do you know what its like?
.......
Do you know what its like to feel the need to be extremely skinny?
Do you know what its like to exercise obsessively and/or purge your food?
Do you know what its like to measure your body in any way possible?
Do you know what its like to obsessively count your daily calorie intake?
Do you know how it is to see someone else in the mirror?
Do you know how it feels to not even turn around in bed self?
Do you know how it feels to starve yourself until you're almost dead?
Do you know how it feels to always, always be unhappy?
Do you know how it feels to hate the world, and
Do you know how it is to always feel cold?

And no matter how hard you try not to feel this way.. food is like an enemy to you..



I snuck food off, I threw it away, I was no longer bulimic
I was cold, tired and miserable ...
I was anorexic..

My diagnosis: Anorexia Nervosa with bulimic tendencies.
