i had anorexia for 7 years and had to force myself to eat at times. it was very difficult. in the end, i needed residential treatment to help me manage it and have been in recovery now for 8 years.

i don't know your story and if you have an eating disorder or if this is something new for you or not, but the sooner you get help for it regardless of what it is, the better chance you have at learning to manage it better with less lasting consequences.
Thank you for the advice!
Take care and have a wonderful day/night ~

There are many types of monsters that scare me: Monsters who cause trouble without showing themselves, monsters who abduct children, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who suck blood... and then, monsters who tell nothing but lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance: They are much more cunning than others. They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart; they eat even though they've never experienced hunger; they study even though they have no interest in academics; they seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such monsters, I would likely be eaten by them... because in truth, I am that monster.
