an act of apparition

LJ idol week 29: disappear

Like every little kid, I dreamed of being invisible. Other kids wanted to be invisible to steal cookies or stay up past their bedtime. But I wanted to be invisible so I could sneak out of the house to explore what a desert night was like without my parents, or so I could live in the natural history museum to hang out with

"full recovery requires faith that you will still be someone you like once you get better."

Yes. Wow.

You so clearly express that feeling of knowing that one is dysfunctional, but embracing the comfort of knowing one's dysfunction. And great phrasings, too.

Thank you; your wow means a lot to me.

I think that eating disorders are often something where you can see it's wrong, but it's going to happen anyway. heh

Your voice was so clear. This was wonderful.

Thank you!

I could relate to this sadly. I'm scared to get better and to actually like myself without an eating disorder. It's very scary and you describe it so well.

[frecklestars]

I'm glad to know it isn't just me feeling this way. *fingers crossed that we both learn how to like ourselves when well*

Hugs. This is an honest entry. I can only imagine what it is like to be in a situation like this. Good luck.
