Lani, you have such a good head over your shoulders and you're so much stronger than you give yourself credit for. I've never met anyone with an ED (it must have a cultural factor too, since it's not too common where I live), only a friend who flirted with anorexia; and you're giving readers a great insight on what the disease is about. I once saw a documentary, and I saw how it was painful and what a torture it was for girls to put food in their system. From my understanding, EDs do not have a cure, but your own inner strength can provide you with control over it (as goes with addictions, as you mentioned). When you do regain your health (which you will, because I can see you have a lot of willpower), you seem very fit to clarify and lecture the uninformed about the issue. As for you, there are a lot more people who root for you and admire your worth than you think on this board. Keep fighting and stay strong.![]()
