Thinking it is an eating problem not specifically the disorder. When I get stressed or exhausted...it effects my ability to eat...causing nausea & swollowing problems. The first time I delt with anorexia...it was a reaction to the meds I was on...no one put the two together & it was just easier for them to peg it as anorexia & ship me to an ED treatment center.....I was in & out of the medical hospital for about a year after that....everytime I passed out...I was put into the hospital with a central line for nutrition.....being 5'2" at 85 lbs just isn't healthy. This time....there was a major trauma in my life along with my mothers death. The exhaustion & stress was more than my low weight at the time could handle & the weight loss, anemia, & mal nutrition hit again even though I was only 95 at the time. Again came the central line & IV nutrition through it. For the life of me...I don't know why anyone would want be in this place....there isn't anything pleasant about it.

So just remember....It is worth making yourself eat a little more each time until you get back into a stable eating pattern....don't continue practicing the bad habbits...it really isn't worth it in the long run.
