Description

I suffer from an eating dissorder (anorexia nervosa) and have spent the past 12 years in and out of hospital.
Therefore i get very upset when people use Anorexia to be kool, Or show complete ignorance when talking about it. If you dont understand what is actually is or what it does to people then do everyone a favour and stfu >.<
Its not kool..its a mental condition that i wish i never had..its taken away a huge chunk of my life.
And to prove im not using it for status you can always ask for proof.
When people think of anorexia they think skinny....but thats just the physical effects..not to mention ur body starts to eat away at its own tissue and vital organs in the search for nutrients.
What people dont realise is the mental state... cus lets face it..its a mental illness... Because of what I became i lost all my friends..the closeness i shared with my mother..i had to drop out of school and now have ZERO qualification..i was in and out of units..i was sectioned under the mental health act..I was fed through a nasal gastric tube..I was made to gain ALL my weight again....i WILL have trouble conceiving children...my metabolism is now screwed up and my attitude towards food will never again be normal.
Anorexia is an illness...not a choice.
So if you think being skinny is worth all that then....UR A DUMBASS.

I am 23 with a son and it has pretty much ruled my life... I wont even leave the house if I feel I wiegh to much unless it is to work or something I have to do.
