It's hard to deal with and it's incredibly difficult to break out of the cycle. The mental and emotional damage done is hard to overcome and feels impossible to heal. The thought patterns and behaviors feel set in stone and we feel like we don't know HOW to make any other choice. We don't know what life without ED is like because it feels like it's always been there. <br /><br />The experience doesn't make much sense to others, but it feels so overwhelming and beyond our control when we are in it. It's hard to assert control because it's all coming from within you. It's not come external force you can just shut out. <br /><br />I empathize. My heart goes out to you. I know how difficult this is. I wish I had the magic wand that I could wave for you as well. I want you to be free! Just remember that you are divine!Kaydencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16421677331999211534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688383708885761511.post-8535684505095071462012-08-22T11:02:24.270-06:002012-08-22T11:02:24.270-06:00ED sucks!

I think if having a conversation with him in your head makes it easier to fight the negative crap he has to say- go for it. <br /><br />Also- and I KNOW you KNOW this- being "thin" and being "healthy" don't go hand in hand. You are healthier than you think- you exercise on a regular basis and I know you eat better than most of us. Make sure you tell ED that. :) Anjie Behuninhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07200333878121491778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688383708885761511.post-1936471046084748312012-08-22T08:40:58.857-06:002012-08-22T08:40:58.857-06:00Thank you Heather.

I think about writing all the time but besides this blog and the book I'm "writing"(approximately one sentence per month) I haven't done much with it. It's always there in the back of my mind so we'll see where things end up.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07284155824268136378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688383708885761511.post-26326357099804980632012-08-22T00:03:10.040-06:002012-08-22T00:03:10.040-06:00This was a great post Kristen, so honest and serio...This was a great post Kristen, so honest and serious, thought-provoking, but you still made me laugh. Have you ever considered a career as a writer?<br />You are a beautiful person--you always have been and always will be, no matter what ED says to you.
