Life Vs. Death

Did you know that Eating Disorders are the number 1 cause of death when dealing with Mental Illnesses?

Yep.

Usually by Self.

Suicide…..

Kind of a rough word to say, much less actually talk about, eh?

THEN there are the physical consequences due to having an Eating Disorder.

Much TOO long of a list.

Really.

I would be lying if I told you that I was scared of dying.

I’m not.

Sometimes the idea of having to LIVE with an Eating Disorder’s wrath, is enough.

For other’s, that fine line of death and life, is and can be, erasable.

KNOWING that you can’t escape it’s tightening grip, is enough to make you WANT to die.

I’m not quite sure if there are any “tap-outs” in THIS game….

An Eating Disorder is a slow death.

And then…..?

You’re choked out.

I wonder what dies first?

The body?

Or the mind?

I mean, does that annoying ED-voice FINALLY cease to fire its fucking scrutiny?

Or does it, like ALWAYS, get the last laugh?

Inquiring minds want….

Okay, NEED to know.
