behind shattered eyes, Forward:
It all started when I was only 13. The eating disorder and depression came first. Then the anger. Then the cutting. I still don’t know why I did it, the cutting. No one really knows why they do it. It just makes you feel better. It’s like getting a tattoo while drugged up, and not remembering it the next day. When you cut, it makes you feel better for the time being. But you’re stuck with the scars forever. The eating disorder is a different story. I knew what I was doing when I purged. I knew it was unhealthy. But it made me skinny, and that’s all I cared about. I knew I had a problem when I threw up blood that one time. But that wasn’t even enough to stop me. I started losing hair, and dropped 10 pounds in a month. My lowest weight was 92 lbs. I am 5”2. My nails became chipped, my hair was straw-like, and unhealthy, I shrank a bra size, and 2 pants sizes. I was now a size 0 in jeans. And even though this was my goal jean size, I kept going. ‘I could be even skinnier’ I thought. I completely stopped eating for a month. And when I did eat, I threw it up. For breakfast, I had nothing. For lunch, I had a special K bar. For dinner, I had whatever my mom made…. And then threw it all up. I didn’t allow myself to eat snacks. They were bad. Food was bad. Everything that could make me gain weight was bad. I don’t know exactly where to start this story, I don’t. It’s been a long time. So I guess I’ll just start at the beginning.
