Trigger warning: anorexia, self-harm
My struggle with an eating disorder didn't happen suddenly; it started my freshman year of high school with body image issues. Going into college, I still struggle everyday and I walk between recovery and sickness. In no way have I overcome my own Eating Disorder voice, as my psychiatrist calls it. I'm learning to challenge it but it's not easy. If you or someone you know is struggling with an eating disorder (including bulimia, binge eating, or an eating disorder not otherwise specified), I encourage getting professional help. This is truly a deadly path to reach what we think is perfect but remember PERFECT DOES NOT EXIST.
I know true happiness lies in a healthy lifestyle. I'm trying to get there but the journey is challenging and never a linear progression. Please, get help. In no way am I trying to glorify or romanticize the struggle with an eating disorder. If it seems like I am, I'm truly sorry from the bottom of my heart.

Cold Water
[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. ••••••••••• ● Warnings ⚠️ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ DepressionComplete

Mentally Broken
(Warning: If you don't feel comfortable with cutting, suicide, etc. I wouldn't read this story) How did I end up here, in a mental hospital? I'm not a physco, right? After all, I'm just a suicidal girl who tried to kill herself by pointing a gun to her head. I don't belong here in this hellhole. I don't want a roommate who's crazy in the head. His name is Justin Bieber, by the way. He doesn't belong here either. Justin's actually pretty normal. We're just victims of society who can't help ourselves. We're mentally fucked up. We're mentally trapped. We're Mentally Broken.Complete
Locked In
You don't believe me anyways. You don't see me throwing away my inhibitions or filling up my online shopping cart. You don't see me diving into new life goals and careers and areas of study. You don't see my cry to myself in the car when my chest sinks in and my head gets crushed in a vice. You don't feel the panic in my stomach whenever I must make human contact. And you sure don't see how hard I try. How I wake up every morning and apply my mask. My work mask- to conceal all of this. But.... It's been the same mask for many years And my mask is wearing thin. My sadness, my anger, my paranoia and grand euphoria are trying to become a part of your world too. A world where it's not welcome. A world where it's not understood, where it's frowned upon.Complete
