Eating disorders and trauma

Trigger warning:

Does anyone else have an eating disorder in this group? Has anyone else noticed that your trauma and eating disorder are hand and hand? At least for me it is. I feel like I can never recover from either one. Its like a daily viscous cycle spriraling downwards. Like plumanting downwards at record speeds unable to stop. Anorexia has the highest morality rate out of everything... I know the risks the statistics. I have medical consequences from it but yet it lures me in. A voice of its own. I loose this battleground every day. Some days I feel like alice falling down the hole in a wonderland that nobody else understands. Just mine isnt as magical or positive as hers.

I’m don’t have an eating disorder. But when I’m really nervous, I want chocolate ❤️

Yes. On and off bulimia and anorexia since I was 10 years old. I have been from 92 lbs to 286 lbs. In my adult life. I recovered at age 27, but I still struggle now and then. It is a way we use to cope. It is very self destructive as you know. But it is something I have to battle with every day of my life. Finding a less destructive replacement behavior helps.
