What frightens you the most? What keeps you awake every single night? Maybe it is that best friend who betrays you and suddenly becomes your biggest enemy. Perhaps the cause is a financial issue, or a family problem, or even grades. However, many people agree that the fear of the future riddles almost everyone at a certain phase of life. In my case, the unpredictable life with its ups and downs, twists, and turns scared me at the age of eighteen. Instead of coping with this innate feeling I looked for something that I could manipulate, command, manage, and rule. I decided it was food. I did not realize that this choice would begin a downward spiral called “Anorexia”.
I fell into the trap of this eating disorder, yet I didn’t feel guilty.
