Anorexia is such a frightening and *sad* disorder.
I lived with an anorexic girl for about nine months when I was 18. It's so frustrating because you always think, "You're not fat, just look! Your bones are poking out! Just eat!" but, obviously, it doesn't do anything.
Last I heard she'd just gotten out of the hospital, again. We were really close before, but I had to stop talking to her because I couldn't deal with the stress of trying to help someone who didn't want help.
