What do you wish people knew about your eating disorder?
That it hasn't gone away just because I don't talk about it anymore.
That just because I'm 'recovered' but ED is still on my mind everyday. And as messed up as it is, I miss it :(
I wish people knew what it's like to have a bully inside my head torturing me day in day out.

Good description!
............ (though I wish it were not. I think it's a very appropriate description.) ~ Platy
@VanillaLatte91 I've never heard it described this way before, but I couldn't have said it better myself. Excellent but sad description
that it exists, so they'd stop poking fun at my weight...
@2faced .... Yes. That sounds mean! Do they not realize? Even someone who does not struggle with an ED ... why be poking fun at someone's weight? Ouch. (Platy goes to stand by 2faced, gives 2faced big box of courage.) Take care, dear! ~ Platy
I wish they'd knew that telling you that you should lose weight awakens unhealthy thoughts and behaviours. Also telling that "they lost *** kg, because they didn't eat much".
And that, just because you're not "skinny" or "thin" it doesn't mean you don't struggle with eating.
