I was Anorexic ~ just under 5"8 and 107 lbs. PURE HELL......

I have been watching the advertisements for Oprah's upcoming show with Portia D'Rossi and her struggle with Anorexia that aired today.  I have gotten physically sick every time I watched the previews because I have unfortunately walked that path as well! It was a VERY DARK TIME!! I don't know how else to explain it! I would NEVER wish that on anyone, not even my worst enemy ( sure hope I don't actually have an enemy:))  It was as if someone else had taken over my body........seeing Oprah was cathartic because it's incredibly hard to explain to someone who has not been there, they all think you nuts!! As my family did as well.  I burned all my pictures a few years ago, a way to "release" my past, though sometimes things like that show just bring me right back to those days of incredible pain and sickness.  It was literally Hell on Earth!!! I cried almost the entire show and had the chills the rest of the time. I am so thankful that people have begun at least talking about it more....So needed to just put that out there....as I have gotten SO MANY  responses by people having themselves or have known of someone with Anorexia or Bulimia. I just wanted to address it in some way.....but that's all I can say right now......it's very hard to even think about and not feel the weight of the experience pull me down..
