I wish i could just be stronger than hunger. Learn to live without food. Empty and free and capable of anything. Get rid of the ties to food and hunger and physicality and my body and just be pure
Without food the body dies.....guess that's as pure as you can get.....it's definitely NOT even LOGICAL as the body needs food just as the car needs gas to be able to function....no food....no function....no life.

Is that really what you want?

Know that I did at one time when my first battle with anorexia hit me....I didn't want to live & I hoped that I would die from it.....but I didn't & now I'm thankful because I escaped the life that was driving me to that point.

If you do have manic issues, & this is coming from that, I would suggest you take with your pdoc regarding that.....otherwise, a wonderful T who can work with you on your irrational thinking would be a good place to work through these thoughts.

Know that my DBT group has definitely helped a lot also......was dealing with PTSD at the time when I started, anxiety, & depression but had been in useless therapy for 13 years before I finally got out of the bad marriage.....skills & logical mindfulness thinking is a good way to fight the irrational thinking that comes with ED's
