Battling with my thoughts

I have been battling with anorexia nervosa for 3 years now. it’s been the hardest things I’ve ever had to experience. I grew up as the “happy kid” in the family. The one who always had a smile on her face. But now it’s changed. It’s different. Now I’m known as someone who struggles with mental health, but in reality I’m way more than that. I used to be the kid who got body shamed a lot and having people judge what I was eating. I thought it was normal back when I was a young kid but as I got older i knew that it wasn’t okay. Having adults and older kids judging my body and my eating habits is something I’ll never forget. To this day I still remember all the comments and judgements I received growing up as a kid and that’s something that hurts the most. No one should have the right to comment on someone’s body or what they eat because it’s genuinely not their business and I wish more people could understand that.

I’ve been wanting to share my story for a while now so I’m glad i get to share it. Although I still am battling this illness I always still want to share and spread awareness about eating disorders. If you are struggling with thoughts around food, reach out for help. Everyone deserves to receive the help that they need no matter who you are or what age you are, you deserve help and if you know someone who is struggling with an eating disorder be there for them. Support them. Show that you care. Research about it.

You are loved and you deserve help.
