Viele Jahre habe ich gebraucht um zu realisieren, dass es bei meiner Essstörung im eigentlichen gar nicht um's Dünn sein geht. Meine Essstörung hat eine Funktion und hilft mir dabei mit Lebenssituationen umzugehen, die eine andere Person vielleicht mit übermäßigem Alkoholkonsum kompensieren würde. Es ist also eine Verhaltensweise die mich vor der Realität schützen soll. Dieser ganze Wahnsinn hat also doch einen Sinn. Je mehr ich darüber hinausfinde und mich weiterentwickle, desto besser kann ich mich von meiner Anorexie und Bulimie lösen. Mittlerweile habe ich auch schon viele ...
