Dear Anorexia

by: Anonymous

Dear Anorexia,

Please leave me alone! I want you to go away because I'm not going to have you destroy my life anymore than you already have. I have power NOW and it will remain that way. As of today, you will no longer destroy my life. You have no more power over my body and I! I have better things to worry about & I certainly DON'T need you anymore. I will decide WHO I hang out with, WHAT I will eat, WHERE I go, WHEN I will eat, and WHY I choose to eat and to be happy. Life will be so much better when you're not here anymore... SO LEAVE!!
BYE ANOREXIA!

You've ruined my teenage years that were supposed to be the fun times! I never had a life. I'm sick of you hurting me and the ones who love and support me. I am choosing to get better and as for you...
Go away!

I've been in a steady relationship now for a year and 6 months. You've ruined that as well. When are you gonna learn? Everybody gets so sick of YOU hurting me. My parents, at one time, told me they didn't want to have anything to do with me anymore. I've been hospitalized 6 times and I'm NOT going back, no matter what you say or do! I have no friends either... even to this day when things are finally getting back on track. My boyfriend is like my best friend. I've let you have the relationship between a friend and I and we've grown up together! Both my boyfriend and my EX best friend were always there for me, but what about you? What in the hell have you done for me besides make me miserable? You've made my life and everybody else's lives a living nightmare!!!
JUST STAY AWAY!

As of right now, you're gone... gone... gone... FOREVER...
