[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 726026, member: 21895"] Anorexia is a severe neurocpsychococial disorder. It is a very tough MH issue for people to manage because it is something we all must redo to survive, we must eat. I worked in a hospital as a volunteer and the anorexia group meeting was taking place. The therapist gave the participants a piece of chalk and asked each one to draw what they felt was a chalk outline of themselves. She then brought a mirror around and had each one stand in front of their outline. These emasculated people all saw themselves as grotesquely huge. They attempt to control their lives my controlling their food and project their issue onto their physical being and suffer great dysmophia. Seeing someone struggling to eat and being so frail and weak is very heart wrenching. Many are self mutilators as well. My sons past girlfriend was annotexic, a self mutilator and a drug user. Her parents have no insurance for therapy so they don’t take her for any. There are free clinics they could access and they don’t. Don’t get me wrong these people live in a beautiful home and have good income. Hey are self employed and refuse to purchase extended Heath insurance. I feel very badly for this girl. [/QUOTE]
