Have you ever had an eating disorder, or do you know someone who has?

What was the experience like? Just wondering. I think eating disorders are terrible things.

Me and the experience was and is hell!
I've been put back to the right weight but Doctor has to weigh me all the time so don't lose weight and it's really hard! X[

I was in paedriatic hosp for 1.5 weeks then a mental hospital for 18 weeks. [4 and a half months].

I was skeletal but didn't see it... now I do... well like I see I'm loads bigger now... I feel so fat even if it's just distortion =[
Lose weight and never see te difference
Put on weight and see loads

=[
=[
=[

[I'm a girl]

And I know a load of people who had them because of the mental hospital x[ Very hard for most of them but one had completely overcome it and had no worries she was sooo confident x

i have a friend who overcame anorexia....it was horrible for her and everyone who loves her.....at 5'7" she thought she was grossly obese at 76 pounds.....she would eat one of those tiny mini snickers bars and starve herself for the next 2 days because she thought it would make her fat.....you could see all of her ribs and her spine, but when she looked in the mirror she thought she was fat.....it was a very sad, difficult time in her life.

I'm a guy and I had one. I used to eat too much, gorging on food and then throwing up.
I still need to control my eating, but I don't eat tons of food now and then throw it up.
My biggest problem now is just controlling portions.
