The Occult Bot

I was just talking with a friend today who was struggling with an eating disorder. She as telling me that as a kid, she was around a lot of people who had some problems Her mom was a counselor, and so she knew about what was going on with all these people. She got to the point that she cared about them so much that she felt helpless to do anything, and that is when her Anorexia Nervosa began. She just needed an area of her life that she felt like she could take some power over it, and control the situation.

Some people get a little confused when you talk about eating disorders. When there are people who are ignorant, they will just say to tell the person with the disorder to start eating food. What most people do not realize is that people with Anorexia Nervosa do not have an eating problem, they have a control problem. There has been something in their life that went spiraling out of control, and they became the victim of it. In order to regain control somehow, they stop eating. Sometimes it has something to do with weight, but rarely is it just about eating.
