    I have anorexia. I display bulimic tendencies. And I've been in this program in Sydney childrens hospital randwick. You have NO idea what it's like to want to kill yourself for eating a cookie or making yourself throw up lettuce.

    We struggle everyday and fight everyone around us everyday.

    Dont judge until you've been in this situation

  • @susanbcork the thinness is just the physical sign of what's going on in the mind and the only thing keeping her alive - gaining weight would only be more palatable to those around her..but she wouldn't cope, that would be the end of her.

  • @hu6h057 At first, I was honestly about to jump to the conclusion that you were going to say seeing people who can't afford to eat would change our perspective. But after fully reading your comment, I think it really does sound like a good idea. I hope if I am to recover, I will (possibly) have the opportunity to do that so it could almost reassure that what I did was for the best.

  • 26 seconds in and already I hate the voiceover.

  • be put in hospital themself been encased the pycho ,, not compfort --> loss appetite

  • @mickblock you have no idea what its like

  • aw man i had a friend who was in the hospital due to anorexia. Believe me, it is VERY hard to get out of it. It's like any other mental health issue, you can't just snap out of it. You need lots of therapy and sometimes medication. I need meds to control my depression, it's the same thing. Imagine not having control of your own mind.

  • @TheVannahbanana1 No, I too have first-world problems
