So what if I am happy being anorexic?

I have been reading some questions on this site about girls who are anorexic or bulimic and are happy about it. The responses to some of these questions are absolutely appaling. I am anorexic and I have have listened when people tell me that it is a false happiness and that I’m sick and I need to get help. Did anybody ever stop to think that by telling someone who is happy in their own little world that they were wrong and needed help for it, that they were actually making it WORSE? I felt like crap every time someone said that I needed help and nobody understood that I was happy being the way I was. Just something to think about but the next time that someone has a concern about their life, please consider that you might actually take their happiness and whatever self confidence they have away.

Answer #1

I completely understand. I am bulemic, and have been for 7 years now. I am happy just the way I am too. Just try to ignore what other people say. Most people have habits that are not considered “healthy”, but ever since these eating “disorders” as they call them, have become popular to talk about, everyone and their aunty think that they know what the hell they are talking about. I mean, how would you feel if you suddenly stopped being anorexic and gained more weight than you had before? Even worse than you did. Just as long as you drink lots of water and take vitamins, I see no problem. What I would say, the next time someone told you that you are wrong for being that way, or crazy, just ask them who do they think they are to be judging you. you can message me if you want to talk some more about this or anything else.

Answer #2

Anorexia can kill you. Thus, the concern. And, as we don’t know if you are really “healthy” or not, that’s why our policy on this site is to try to make sure that you get help, eat healthy & exercise.

Answer #3

I understand the way you feel :( I used to be anorexic, but I got over it. But you do have to understand it’s a sickness :(

I consider just eating healthy, maybe get a diet partner, but you really shouldn’t starve yourself. I’m sorry if this answer is bugging you, but… There are people out there worried about you.

Answer #4

ooooh my god. this question just puts me to tears. i wish i posted the same question months before and asked for others’ opinion because i’ve tripped my way down here. i became too affected of when all the people around me were saying that i looked like i were just skin and bones. yeah, i see that in the mirror, too. but, i was waay happier when i was 86 lbs than being 120 fucking lbs at present. i haaate myself! i should’ve listened to myself rather than becoming too affected and to cause me to binge all my pains. i wish i could just turn back time but it won’t be possible so i’ll just aim for my previous weight all over again. :((
