Dear kate,

I'm sorry that you feel so alone. Are away from home and miss everyone?

Does it seem like people hate you because they insist that you eat and won't let you go home?

You asked why they insist that you eat. Here is why. They insist that you eat because they want you to live. They know that anorexia impairs thinking. That is why people with anorexia often make unhealthy, dangerous decisions, such as not eating. When you are well enough to make safe decisions, they will let you go home.

kate, what is your day like? Could you tell a little about an average day? Please post again so we can know how you are doing.
