Living with Ana
Let’s address a topic that totes a wagon full of myths with it where ever it goes: Anorexia. As somebody who has Anorexia, whom I call “Ana”, I would like to first start with a disclaimer. Eating disorders; anorexia, bulimia, orthorexia, pica and over-eating all have one thing in common: every single one of them is different for the person experiencing them. Which is why I think it’s important to fully understand a mental illness that may or may not affect us, we should first identify where the root of disordered eating comes from.
