RE: [HEALTH] Anorexia and Bulimia - the mind screw of two eating disorders
Phenomenal post. I still struggle back and forth with anorexia. The social pressures associated with beauty for women are enormous. For me, I want to become invisible, not only thinner. I hope many read this and gain awareness.
From what I've read of your posts @honeyscribe, not only are you dealing with family and peer pressure, but your culture, like mine, seems to focus so much attention on exterior beauty. Believe me when I say I used to want to be invisible. I used to wish the walls would just swallow me up so I didn't have to talk to anyone. It was a long road to get to where I am and I can finally say that I'm comfortable in my own skin...even if I could stand to lose another 20 pounds. :)
