The damage an eating disorder does (Trigger warning!)

This is what an  eating disorder does to your body

And this
You revert back to having the body of a child

This is what an eating disorder does to your face
It withers it
And ages it
So much that you hardly recognise yourself

This is what an eating disorder does to your teeth
Discolours them
Rots them
Breaks them
And these are the good teeth

This is what an eating disorder does to your food habits
It convinces you that food is the enemy







This is what an eating disorder does to your confidence
Shatters it to bits and pieces









This is how an eating disorder makes you feel
Stuck in a vicious circle



This is what you feel like doing when you you have an eating disorder



This is what an eating disorder does to you mind
It makes you feel like you are losing it






This is how an eating disorder makes you feel
Like you are invisible







This is what an eating disorder does to your heart
Breaks it in to a million little pieces






This is what an eating disorder does to your spirit
It crushes it




This what it feels like to fight back
Terrifying
Scary
Lonely



This is what it feels like to regain weight
Frustrating beyond belief



But this is what it feels like when things start to turn around
Like a light shining in the darkness





This is what it feels like when you feel like you might have a fighting chance
Like a sigh of relief





This is how it feels to feel again
Totally overwhelming




This is what it feels like to feel to want to live
You don't feel the pull of death any more



This what it feels like to be around friends again
Like you belong
Like you matter to someone



This is what it's like to love again
Like you are alive at last
