Does anyone have any stories about struggles with anorexia?!


Question: Does anyone have any stories about struggles with anorexia.?
Heyy I am doing an oration for Speech and Theatre class about anorexia and how it effects people. I, personally, do not know of anyone who has struggled with this disorder, but I know many people have.
If you have any stories about having this disorder and how you felt during your struggle or somebody you knew can you please share so I can get a perspective and things to include in it.? How did you get over your anorexia and how did it change you.?
Thank you so much! I have the facts, but I really want some real life stories and emotions. Thank you so much!!!Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Sorry, I only know about Bulimia. I believe that they are both lifelong diseases that you are never "cured" from. They are more about control than appearance and they are both shameful for the afflicted.

The struggle is all consuming, every thought and action revolves around food and caloric intake. I feel powerless even though it is a control issue. I feel weak when I succumb to the disease. It is hellish.

I went to rehab, refrained from the behavior for 6 months and then started up again when I felt that I was losing control in a situation. Now I can maybe go a week but then I'm back to my old ways.

Admittedly, Bulimia is different from Anorexia in that I binge and purge rather than restrict my intake, but I believe the causes and psychological effects are very similar.

I hope this helps!Health Question & Answer

I knew a girl whose whole life was about her anerexia, it made her feel in control of herself. All the people that knew (me included) felt like **** because we couldn't comfort her at all, we all felt like we weren't good enough friends to help. She finally got some help, but never saw a problem with it. Once she was "better" there was nothing left of her, and we all realized that she wasn't a nice fun, or kind person at all. She just needed our attention. Once we realized that we didn't actually like her she began being anorexic again. I never did find out how to fix it.Health Question & Answer
