Week 4, Title: Insurmountable

The measuring tape is well worn, many numbers faded, but he can still read it, knows every crinkle and tear and smudge. He slides it around his waist, around his arms, around his thighs (and ankles and wrists and neck). He writes the numbers down.

Oh, yes. Been there, done that. Not an ED but not having enough energy and all the 'fun' it entails.

And I also ~am on the other side of it with friends who are struggling with chronic stuff. There is nothing crazy about being supportive.

Very well written.

So sorry you've been through something similar *Hugs*. I haven't had an eating disorder myself either, but have run a similar road with my mental health.

There is nothing crazy about being supportive, but it's hard to to not feel like a burden sometimes.

Thank you :).

Such a sad story, well written. At least the girlfriend seems understanding and hopeful.

[swirlsofblue]
