I'm not trying to have an eating disorder. I'm not pretending to have an eating disorder. I don't want to have an eating disorder.
I think I do have some sort of disorder. I think I've had it since I was little.
When I was little and got upset I used to eat large amounts of food. Then when my body starting changing I had *major* body image issues. Then I started purging on and off for a few years.
Just because I purge on and off doesn't mean I don't have a problem! This whole thing isn't new to me. I didn't *suddenly* get an eating disorder.
How come it feels like some people are invalidating my experience and minimizing my difficulties?
How come I don't feel supported here? How come it feels like some people are saying that *they* have an eating disorder, but I don't?
Am I supposed to pretend I don't have a problem?
