Actors talking about their experience with EDs
Ana by Sierra DeMulder.
I want to kiss this woman. This is the most beautiful thing. Just listen and then say that you support anorexia or bulimia or any other disorder where people hurt so fucking much that they want to die. That being thin, that being nothing is worth more than their fucking life. ‘Ana’, for me, is just… it is gut wrenching. It takes your heart and squeezes it and makes your pulse quicken and your throat tightens and every gulp for breath is taken in a panic. Nothing better has ever been written on the subject. It is just, it hits the bone and it makes me so guilty, so tightly pinned down that I do not know what to say, surely I need to explain myself. How DARE I do this, how dare this happen to me and when the fuck did I decide it was okay to be like this, that this monster was acceptable. This isn’t me but then again what is. My body has only tried to please me. It has listened when I am tired, it has harboured so much pain and it has SURVIVED. But still my stomach churns when I look at it, I am repulsed by it like someone is repulsed by a welt, a growth, a cancer. I am healthy and I am alive and WHEN DID THAT BECOME NOT ENOUGH. When did breathing become a chore and food a poison.
I am crying my fucking eyes out. FUCK. WHYWHYWHY.
EATING DISORDERS ARE NOT A CHOICE - EXCELLENT VIDEO <3
EVERYBODY KNOWS SOMEBODY
Please Watch
BY THE time she was finally admitted to hospital, Noelle Graham’s heart was on the point of giving out. Years of extreme dieting, purging and vomiting had ravaged the very substance of her body, leaving her blood so low in potassium it could no longer sustain a regular pulse.
That four-month admission, in 2009, was the culmination of nearly a decade of disordered eating that began when Ms Graham was only 12 - starting benignly enough as a decision to become a vegan and escalating through compulsive exercise, deliberate vomiting and long periods of starvation.
Still battling not to relapse, Ms Graham sees a psychiatrist and has had to return many times to hospital, where she said doctors typically, ”stick me on a drip and rehydrate me, then send me home”.
