Many people will refer to anorexia as “Ana” online. Anorexia can make you lose your period, it can slow down your growth physically, and most importantly it can make you lose yourself.
When someone has an eating disorder they will not recognize what they see in the mirror. All they will see is the weight or what they are most self-conscious about. Personally, when I struggled, I focused on my weight and toning my body.
Anorexia still affects my mental health to this day and I have been in recovery for 2 full years now. When you suffer from anorexia you can have sever anxiety, depression, and even bipolar disorder.
