I struggle to see myself as sick because I am not underweight....but also because I fool myself and say that if it's been a few days since I purged....that I'm recovered. *nevermind that I was on a drinking bender instead*<br /><br />I'm about to go into inpatient treatment and I'm terrified that this competition will affect me. I'm actually wondering if I can get away with only substance recovery and just see if my ED is bad enough for them to notice. Wrong mindset....I know.<br /><br />I think it took a lot of courage to talk to your family about this. They seem to be a willing and strong support for you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957669670882585052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562281218287648674.post-69267359175047963002015-11-24T13:25:12.462-08:002015-11-24T13:25:12.462-08:00This admission has been so traumatic they have tak...This admission has been so traumatic they have taken complete control even forcing medications on me and if refused calling security! They are being so strict on me it's scary! If I didn't have nightmares enough as it was I will now. Being tube fed is their last resort their only resort. And it sucks! I hate that I can't see myself as sick yet these are such drastic measures they are taking.

An eating disorder is a slow and miserable death. It tries to convince us that it's something pretty and sparkly. We have to keep reminding ourselves that it isn't. <br /><br />A few years ago, when I was still ping-ponging back and forth between anorexia and recovery, I met my friend's older sister. I had never seen someone that emaciated in real life, only ever in photos or films. A more disordered Mich might have looked at her with envy (maybe?), but I just remember being shocked. She looked (and still does) like a 90-year-old corpse. She has no intention or desire to get well. She spends her life alone in her apartment, not eating and over exercising. She has no friends and rarely even sees her family. She is well aware that this is exactly what the rest of her life will be like, and it will be a short life, and she is perfectly ok with that. <br /><br />She was a wake up call for me, because I do not ever ever ever want to to end up like that. Giving into the eating disorder can only ever lead me down that road. <br /><br />Call Mary, and reach out to friends. The eating disorder is exactly like an abusive partner--it wants to isolate you from everyone around you so that it can control everything in your life. Don't let it. Punch that fecker in the face. <3Michhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12456803425068822920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6562281218287648674.post-22434943983598409182015-11-24T07:48:32.039-08:002015-11-24T07:48:32.039-08:00Well done to her!

Have you any idea how she did that? So many of us seem to come to a stop halfway to proper recovery. It's just so hard to change the way we think.

I'm currently inpatient and the holy grail of who is sickest appears to be those with tubes. I am alone on that forefront. My mind fights so hard day and night but my body is weak my body is tired and what little left of me is left is tired ready to roll over belly up with her little white flag. I do not wish to trigger you all I want to say is I know what the hunger games can be like. I was sectioned last week and today I was told I am not allowed to leave for quite some time. Indefinitley. It was horrible to hear knowing feeling like I am the biggest person here and yet I am the only one on a nasogastric tube I am the only one having ecgs's daily I am the only one on strict bed rest! Surely they are indicators that support the fact my body was shutting down and will continue to if something doesn't change. bluedragonfly95https://www.blogger.com/profile/07527874101193770731noreply@blogger.com
