MI: Depression, Anxiety, Anorexia.First-hand account of living with a MI: It's not fun. People under think these kinda things all the time. I've always been told to just be "happy", or to just "calm down", what people don't understand it's easier said than done. I was diagnosed with my first MI, at 12, shortly before my parents death. That's the main root of all my problems. It really does suck. The best thing to do is to get help. That's all I can say.

Did MI/ED stories educate you: No, I've experienced it first-hand.
Did MI/ED stories on WATTPAD help you spot symptoms on a friend or loved one: I've really gotten all of the symptoms down actually. So no.
