I feel you on the ED. to me food is a means of control. in the past few months, I've been doing pretty well, but there have been a couple times where I felt really self-destructive. nobody's perfect, and the same applies for people with eating disorders. I'm glad that you're making a recovery, even if it is a gradual one.

I wish there could be an easy way to just completely obliterate any of my former habits and former self and not feel the urge to be destructive, but it won't leave. I hope everything works out, and not that you grow so strong with every struggle.

and you will fix it. I know it.
