The eating disorder wants to kill you- remember that. You need to fight against it and reclaim your life! I know you can do it It's not too late for anyone to recover, EVER.
This is so encouraging to hear, thank you for sharing your story. I've been struggling with ana for way too long and I hope, someday, to get to a state of recovery, free from obsession and self-loathing.

I feel like I have a long way to go . . . :/
