MoxieDoxie- I often feel your posts are seeking to make a comparison between your own ed experience and that of others. I often cannot ascertain if you are seeking to define similarities, or define differences. Can you speak to this?
I am honestly passing no judgment. I genuinely would like to understand your motivation.
In my own journies between bulimia, anorexia, remission, and repeated sickness, i have often posed the question you put forth here. At other times, i might have answered as you did.
