How long ago were you diagnosed with an Eating Disorder?
I've had an ED since I was 15 years old. But was not diagnosed until I was 18 or 19 years old.

I was diagnosed with EDNOS I move between restricting, purging, and binging. Lately it has been struggling with the bulimic side of my ED

What is the struggles you face when living with this disorder?
I struggle with food, my body image, seeing myself much larger than I am, my relationships with everyone is hard.

How has society affected your thoughts on body image and food?
I don't know.

What are health complications you have face with your disorder?
I don't face any yet.

Do you know anyone else that's struggled with an eating disorder?
No not that STRUGGlED. I know people who are still struggling and are in treatment and getting help.

How is your relationship with others affected by this disorder?
I don't like people watching me eat, so I don't like going out with people. I don't like leaving the house so I don't hang out with friends. And because I have depression too I have pushed all my friends away.

Do you feel people should be more open about Eating Disorders?
I feel that there should be more talk and awareness about Eating Disorders.

I stopped cutting at 15 and started starving myself. I started cutting again but still had the eating disorder too.
