Personifying my Anorexia
Eating Disorder Support / by 2ndOf7

...See more So I do this thing with my eating disorder of treating it like a person. I don't know if this is abnormal but I turn to her for comfort, I fight with her, she insults me when I eat and praises me when I don't, I turn to her for approval, she doesn't love me, but I'm stuck in essentially an abusive situation. And it's all in my head which makes it so much worse because I can't run away from her. It's not like I physically hear or respond to her but I can feel it. She always points out to me all the people better than me, all the things I could be doing, and that I'm doing this to be happy so she's helping me. Anyways it makes recovering harder because with every phase that I complete in recovery she constantly tells me what a failure I am. I don't want to be her victim but I also feel terrible letting her down. How should I dehumanize Anorexia help control the thoughts I have?
