"I can't eat!"

goodmorning, fellow bloggers. :)

just want to start off saying, that i have an eating disorder.
so, today, this post is going to be about that.

i restrict & binge/purge.
i do one for a while, then the other for a while, etc.

in dance, especially ballet, eating disorders are very common.
there is a big pressure to be a certain weight.
many dancers follow a strict eating plan, which easily becomes anorexia.
some dancers will eat with friends, then purge.
i am one of these dancers.

i want to shed awareness on the subject of eating disorders.
not just in dancers, but in girls (and boys!) everywhere.
i think it is a growing problem that needs attention.

i have been hospitalized 8 times in a psych ward for my ED behavior & sent to an inpatient ED facility once.
sadly, many girls (and boys) don't get this chance. they are stuck suffering in silence.
i urge you to get help if you need it.

if anyone has an eating disorder and needs support, do not hesitate to comment this blog.
thank you for listening.
