Don't worry, I'm going to share this with my therapist. I'm going to print out this discussion, I think and do it that way. but...is it weird that I sort of want to have an ED?I hate it when I lose weight, not really purposefully but I do lose weight or my hair starts thinning and people are like "oh it's not that bad," or they don't notice...I mean I don't want to be attention seeking but it just frustrates me...can you relate? I'm trying to make myself eat but I am honestly scared of gaining "too much" weight. but what if no one believes me? and how can I be anorexic if I'm not actively choosing to starve myself at every meal?

I also never lost my cycle. Whoever told you that you can't be anorexic is dead wrong. You want to catch this deadly disease before it gets any worse. Being hospitalized is no fun at any age, let alone school aged. You miss out on friend's birthdays, holidays, school, etc. For me I missed out on my daughter's dance recital. That is something I still regret to this day. I have been fighting this disease for 18yrs and I am only 33. Please get help before you do irreversible damage to your body.
