Anorexia is a well-known eating disorder primarily characterized by an individual's belief that they are overweight, even if they are severely underweight. This mental illness causes people to restrict themselves from eating or they will eat and then purge the food afterward. People with anorexia are extremely focused on their calorie intake, in many cases to the point of obsession. If you think you may be struggling from an eating disorder, talk to someone. And I know that is way easier said than done because of the fear that comes from being vulnerable, but it can save your life. If you don't feel comfortable talking to someone you know, you can always talk to people in the comments and try to connect with people. While just talking to someone and recognizing that you have an eating disorder is huge, it is extremely important to get help and talk to someone who can help you.
