If your ED was a person, what would it look like?
My therapist is so helpful. She means the world to me and she's taken the time to help so much more than anyone else I've worked with.
One time, we were talking, and she suggested something. She said "So, take this pencil and some paper and draw what your eating disorder would look like as a human being."
I thought it was an amazing idea, so I'm suggesting it to you!
So, what would your ED look like as a person? Tell me, I'd love to hear :)
Perhaps like those people off of My 600 Pound Life (nothing against the people on this show– obviously it's very hard to lose that much weight, props to them) with an angry, punishing look on their face as they glare at me. I have binge eating disorder.
the characters that I read and write about. pretty, perfect, model thin. dark hair and dark eyes. a perfect version of me, with a shadow that stretches and covers her always, always in darkness. its like she's waiting beyond the final steps unable to take, beckoning with a hand to become her. I don't want to be her, but at the same time, I am so desperate to be like her, to be so perfect and unattainable and untouchable.
