bring me a painkiller | slimecicle

Charlie was of the belief that eating disorders could never fully go away. He wasn't being pessimistic, he was pretty certain he could keep it at bay, but those thoughts were always there, in the back of his mind. He'd still catch a glimpse of someone underweight and long for it, and as much as he redirected those thoughts, they'd always come back. He'd look at something he wanted to eat and see nothing but calories, unwillingly counting in his head until the meal became that much harder.

It wasn't until he was twenty-four that he found himself back where he started.
