Anorexia Nervosa,is the most evil disease I can think of.
I suffered from this condition for twelve years,and nothing any body said could have helped me.
I got down to four and a half stone at my worst, I never saw what people were telling me,"that I was too thin".
I lived by the motto "You can never be too thin or too rich". It was tragic. Of course I can look back now in utter horror of what I did to be more thin, to lose just a few more pounds!
I used to swallow diuretics by the handful and laxatives, it makes me cringe to think now what I was doing to my body.
But I was on a mission to be thinner than any-one else.
In the end it was me that decided to seek help, as you can only battle this head on when you are ready to accept you have a problem,and boy did I have a problem.
I was very lucky to survive, but now feel so lucky,as I have a wonderful hubby who helped me to get through this terrible ordeal.
I find it painful to talk about the whole illness and thats why this story isnt too graphic,also people with anorexia read stories about other anorexics to get ideas on how to lose more weight.
Thats why I have deliberately not been specific.
