| I think everyone has completely different reasons for developing an eating disorder, but its normaly a long the lines of, a way of trying to control one aspect of your life when other things going wrong. Its very hard telling the difference between a healthy person who watches what he/she eats and an anorexic. Pre-anorexics are sneaky people and there arent so many ovbvious signs as with bulimia (if you know what to look out for). My mum is the only person who knows about my ED and i would say the best thing she does to look after me is listen. I can talk to her about everything and she is such a rock. NEVER judge someone for having an ED, the worst thing you can do when someone has trusted you enough to tell you is get angry. People say you never fully recover from an ED, that its always in the back of yor mind even if your managing to maintain a healthy weight. They are very easy to slip back into, but at best it takes years. And yes, depression is a huge part of it, normally. Without depression, why would we harm our bodies to the extent that we'r so messed up we cant feel anything properly anymore...Hope this helped and that noone close to you is suffering from an ED. ↑ |
