Thinner than thin, is this what my mom wants for me? To not be fuller like her? To starve myself and when I break four hours into a fast wanting to puke?
Does she see? I know shes seen the apps before, I know she knows I count calories, but why doesnt she stop me? Am I not thin enough yet to be saved? Is recovering only after you hit your goal?
I just want to be saved, please help me, but dont send me to a new place. Meeting people like me isnt good, its negative towards them from my helping nature, even if its helping starve yourself or hide your cuts. I'm sorry to the little kid I used to be, I was so thin and petite that when I grow a panic alarm goes off in my brain.
Screaming until I redownload the apps and basically say my therapist can fuck herself, I need the handlebars, I need the control.
