am I actually ill?
To be honest, I fast a lot and exercise to make up for it if I eat anything; I follow the ‘Slavic Dolls’, I’m on a diet and I’ve made myself vomit (only a few times, because I don’t want to damage my teeth or my stomach). I feel like cutting myself if I don’t stick to my diets, but, honestly, I don’t think I have an eating disorder. Is it the illness playing tricks on me, or what?
I wonder about this because, although I do eat (I plan it, but I also enjoy mealtimes), I don’t have any negative thoughts whilst I’m doing so; I just think about when it’ll be time to fast again. I don’t know, all this makes me feel as if I’m not ill; I don’t think I am, but what I do seems to contradict that, and yet I don’t feel that way.
