Watch it and realize how important it is to cherish
every breath you are able to take.
There are a lot of things in the world which are ten
times worse than having an ED but you should never
underestimate it.
Because it’s tough shit and it breaks you down
eventually if you’re not getting any help.
There’s no point in focusing on it all the time
but it’s also wrong not to talk about it. Because
it’s an disease even though a lot of people think
it’s just some kind of pubertal crisis which is
easy to overcome if you really want to.
No. It is not. Yes, of course, loads of 14 - years -
old girls are longing to look like Paris Hilton or
whoever, but these kind of thoughts ( „ Thin means
beautiful.” ; „Boys only like skinny
girls.”) finally lead to an ED.
And it’s a fucking struggle to get your ass out of
this crap.
So … don’t try to be someone you’re not. Be
yourself. Be curvy, be brave to show what you got, be
proud of looking healthy. ‘Cause THESE are the
kind of women we need instead of frail, skinny girls
who lost control over their bodies and minds.
And if you’ve already gotten into a situation
where you’re no longer in control of your eating
behaviour, go and look for some help. SCREAM for help.
Because everyone of you can do it, it’s hard and
it hurts and from time to time you’ll wish you
could just jump off a bridge but it’s worth it.
Because LIFE is worth it. There’s no point in
starving just to avoid dealing with your real problems.
Face them and be brave enough to admit if you screwed
up. It’s okay, failing is okay. Because life is
full of new chances and there’ll always be another
direction to take.
Believe me.
It is SO worth it.
( and yes. I AM in the position to say those kind of things, ‘cause here I am and I have an ED but I learned to cope with it so that I can live a wonderful life. )
