Such an inspiring story. It is too much for a teen/pre-teen to be expected to deal with. I'm glad you made it out alive.

It took me 50 years to deal with my eating disorders. I was lucky, I got them before they endangered my health TOO badly.

You know what's weird to me? Sometimes it seems so easy now. Like you say, that voice creeping in at times? I just ignore it. Where was this power years ago?

So proud for you.
