Life Sentence

I have this Disorder
And all I need is your support
I hear your words , You say something is wrong with me
I think I've grasped this point already
But its like an addiction
It hard to over come
I'm Self conscious about what I look like
And I felt this was my only cure

It started when I was in school
I figured people would like me if I got skinnier
But after I started , It got harder and harder to stop
I do regret everyday I put myself through it
But I know you don't believe me
Thoughts overwhelm my brain about how I'm not skinny enough
Why cant you believe this?

I'm now sitting in a hospital bed
Getting forced to eat
They say it will all get better
I truly want to believe this, I do
But every time I eat I start to feel guilty
I want to cry
I never asked for this, Its not fair
But it controls me entire life
Its a compulsion

People still continue to make assumptions
They don't care to come ask me
They make comments about how I'm ruining my life
Don't you think I already know?
But like I said Its like an addiction
It gives me my high I crave
And gives my brain comfort
But every night I go to bed and Realize This disorder
Is My Life Sentence.
♠ ♠ ♠
I wrote this because I believe people miss understand eating disorders
and make up assumptions , Not all eating disorders are caused by "fat" thoughts, but of thoughts about not being good enough, and it isn't fair people think they have the right to judge these people without knowing what they are going through.
All these people need is support to get over it , with out all the comments in between , people really do need to understand this .
