I think that accepting that I have an eating disorder is going to be hard. Depression, Eating Disorder…it’s all been laid on me at the same time and sometimes I feel like I’m drowning in it. I don’t want to say that this blog is about my ‘struggle with an eating disorder and depression’ because it’s far too cliche.
All I will say, is that this blog is the first true testement of how it is to be in my shoes. The first honest, brutal, in my real name, blog. I’m Charlotte, by the way, and your comments would be much welcomed. Please don’t try to save or help me. I’ve never been happier than in this moment when I haven’t eaten anything for three days, and the more I don’t eat, the happier I get, and the stronger I feel inside.
Please don’t try and take that away from me. You have no idea how much worse I would be if I didn’t have this.
Support, general comments, though, would be really welcomed. I would love to hear from you.
