you are different tho. everyone is. it's nothing to be ashamed of.
i know you've heard it a hundred times before, so i doubt saying it once more will change your mind, but i must say it because i don't want to give you or anyone else the idea that i also mean being anorexic is nothing to be ashamed of.
please don't think anorexia is ok. it's not. it's unhealthy, and it can kill you.
i saw a woman on taboo recently who was trying to help those with anorexia because she was suffering from it herself. she unfortunately died before the show was aired. it was very sad because she was trying so hard to get healthy and to help others, and i only hope that she will continue to do so with her book that she had published.
best of luck to you, st.

As a person with disordered eating patterns, I would disagree with this. I do feel different because I know I don't think about food the way a normal person would - I know they don't feel shame or guilt or obsess over calorie and fat content.

But it doesn't make me any less of a human being.

It doesn't make you different
It just makes you who you are!

I'm bulimic with anorexic tendencies, I've been such since I was a child (single digit). If you're clinically diagnosed with the disease and you're not just trying a drastic diet plan, then you are in fact different. All of us with an ED are, because our minds work differently, a lot of us have ticks and specific functions that help us get through a day. Even as a "recovered" bulimic, I still have triggers, I still have a certain mentality when it comes to my relationship with food, or how I look at others with food. I still have certain thoughts that I know my friends and loved ones don't have, I still have an unhealthy relationship with clothing...it's a life long battle, it's not something that you just get over or just start to start.

Unfortunately, it does make us different. It doesn't mean it makes us bad or anything like that...it just means...we are who we are and without the help and willingness to help change those things, we're not going to change who we are or who we let ourselves become or change the situations we allow ourselves to fall into. I really hope that when you're ready, you find the strength to get the help you need to have a healthier mentality and a healthier relationship with food, your body, and the world. It's a struggle, it's hard, but...at least, I feel it is worth the daily battle. It's no different from the daily battles you already face....but at least when you're trying to be healthy...you don't have to rely on your secrets to be your only outlet.

Aren't most people a little different? There is nothing wrong about being different though. Anorexia is a dangerous condition that can be helped. I suggest getting help, if you don't already have it. Be different in a way that doesn't scare people.

Not judging, I just think it's probably more handy to consider yourself different because of a feature, talent or skill that you have in stead of something one would probably want to get rid of.

Personally, I would think that anorexia does make you stand out from the crowd because only a small percentage of the world's population has that disease/ So if you have anorexia, it actually does make you different. *Shrugs*
