Things that aren’t talked about enough about anorexia:
-insomnia(not being able to sleep and when you do sleep it’s only for a couple hours)
-food nightmares(having a realistic nightmare of eating a ton of food or being super fat)
-restlessness(always fidgety and not being able to stay completely still)
-stomach pains(eating even a little bit of foods CHURNS your stomach bc you are not used to eating the right amount)
-anger/irritable(getting mad easily and emotional at everything especially loved ones because of the hunger)
-dizziness(not eating for a day or two and finding yourself feeling nauseous and dizzy when waking up until you get something to eat)
-completely drained(having barely any energy)
-isolation(isolating from your friends and family most of the times non-intentionally because all you can think about is food)
-numb(feeling numb to everything and the only emotion you can really feel is anger)
-always distracted(not being able to focus in class because you’re thinking of calories, weight and food)
-terrible digestive system(even when we eat a little, we get stomach aches and when we eat a lot or a normal amount, the stomach aches are even worse and you have to go to the bathroom every 20 minutes)
-anxiety(being anxious to go out with friends bc of food, being scared to go on dates because of food, being scared that people will think you’re as fat as you see yourself, and being scared to recover)
-muscle loss(even though we are losing a lot of fat, a lot of muscle also goes away which makes you even weaker)
-guilt(feeling super guilty and ashamed even when eating a normal amount or not as little as was planned)
