What’s your name?
I’d rather not say; sorry.
How old are you?
I’m 18 years old.
Tell us about yourself!
Let’s see I’ve never been good at these. I like reading, writing, and going on tumblr. I adore Psychology, and Sociology. Family is one of the most important things in my life. I also love ferrets.
When did you start self harming/ having an eating disorder?
Honestly? These things have been part of my life for so long, especially with the way I’ve seen my body. I remember always pulling at my fat, wishing I was skinny and pretty like my sisters. I never had a great relationship with food. The self harming bit, I believe I was about thirteen or fourteen when I started. It didn’t get bad until I was about sixteen.
Do you know what caused it?
With my eating, as said, it’s always been part of me, but having skinny sisters, and wearing hand me downs that could never fit properly didn’t help. Self harming became an escape after I started middle school and I was bullied for everything. I was terrified of leaving my house for years after that, even after I left that school.
What caused you to want to recover?
Me. I was sick of hating myself, I was sick of destroying myself. I also didn’t want to e a bad influence to the younger members of my family. I’m still ashamed of what I went through. So much that I didn’t tell anyone about any of the problems I went through. I thought, well think, that this is all my fault, and that I deserved everything I went through.(Trying to get rid of that thought process, but it’s been mashed into my head for about 13 years) Also, losing friends because of what I went through was a good kick in the rear for me.
