Mental Illnesses: Anorexia Nervosa
More commonly known as just Anorexia.
I, SecretMifix, suffer from Anorexia and am not afraid to admit it.
If anyone you know stuffers from anorexia, please don't say, " Hey, you should eat more." or "Stop trying to gain attention by pretending to be anorexic."
It hurts us. And your words make us want to starve more.
You may see a girl or a boy who barely has anything left on their bones but we see differently.
We think everyone around us is more prettier, handsomer and better than us. We can't help it. Some of us can't get help because our parents haven't noticed.
I'm sure most of you know what BMI is. I was at a point at 13.2. It wasn't good for my body but I felt fat.
Before I knew it, I was getting used to gastric pains, bloating, drinking water to substitute and even poking at my own stomach.
Of course, since I live in SG, the Health Promotion Board noticed and got me to get help from a food therapist.
Today, I'm at 14.4. I feel proud for myself for improving but now, I realised that the increase has made me bounce back to my old habits.
I want you guys, girls, pals, trees, raccoons to know, please save us.
