I’m not coping well. I have the worst UTI I’ve had so far. I am in a lot of pain and I am not being honest with my mom. She has no idea why I’m wearing basketball shorts in the winter. And she’s not paying attention to the fact that I haven’t eaten much in a few days. Today I had to force myself to put down my book and I just said to myself “dude you have to eat.” I am developing a big problem with food restriction. My mom is totally clueless which is upsetting me.

The cats are all over me and they usually stay away. They only come near me when I’m sick. The one who hisses at me has been around all day. I honestly think I’m sick and I can’t tell anyone for some reason.

Something happened to my stress level and it just exploded when we got in the new carpets on Monday.

I just want to blurt out my mom I have anorexia and the worst UTI of my life.
