I'm sure I've never spoken of this but a few weeks a go there was a rhyme to fit!
It's gone with the wind now but I'd like to still have a go of it, so if you bear with me I'll flow what I know....
I never saw it as a disorder, more this is just how I am but food was always at the bottom of my plan.
At some point in my younger days I tried to bulk up but sadly it just toned and becomes disheartening to think of.
Days can pass with only a few snacks to hold it of, my stomach can feel like it's folded in on its self and can barely stand up.
With each breath a noise goes off as if a dragon is waiting and had quite enough, to soothe the annoyance water is a must, also about the only thing that doesn't make you want to throw up
Over time I have tried different meal plans and even gluten free, that couldn't of been more awful!! but not as much as the belly of the beast that never wants to sleep.
The biggest lesson came when nurturing little feet, to see how mood can be such a powerful, if not the biggest thing to tame any soul to eat.
Obviously this is only a fraction of a battle that goes on every day, the motivation to open this door is because I now know many others that have their own cage.
May we dive down deep to solve this mystery, to feed us what we need not just what we must, as life should always be worth hold on.
Although we are unique the struggle is not and I'm grateful to everyone that never gives up, to those that did I'll not keep this door shut.
I'm sorry it took this long to start to open up or maybe I just wrote that to myself, either way our mental health is as precious as us.

Hello Dan .. I’m sorry that you struggle with eating . Brave of you to open up on here . Our mental health can affect our eating I guess and it goes the other way aswell , lack of eating affecting us mentally .
I hope things improve for you in regards to this
I’ve been told recently that I have an eating disorder … just because I’ve lost weight , and to me that’s ridiculous , because I eat really well !
We can hold so many emotions in our bodies ,
Have you tried eft emotional freedom technique to help with how you feel ?
No need to say sorry ..
Our mental health is so important tho .. I understand how difficult it is to struggle with it
Yes the roundabout of just getting worse at times...
I have and still do my own version of many things I've learned but maybe not as much as I should...
Thank you so much and for talking of your own journey, its as much help as you think.
Always appreciated
Same here .. I don’t do as much as I perhaps should ..
Thank you for sharing your woes
Mental health is very crucial and it’s good you are facing it
Your courageous step to accept it
I am pretty sure soon you will overcome it
I wish you luck
You will soon
Cause the best part is you have already start healing
Have always admired your poetry
Blessed to receive your support and can feel unworthy at times that breaks in a little smile, to know wonderful souls like your own.
Truly appreciate your time my friend, it would be nice for this to end or a better grip lol
It will end
Poetry like I always say a therapy
It can heal people
So let go the words rolling on sheets dear poet
Mental health is certainly precious Dan, you have come a long way though Dan and I am sure you will come into that wonderful life that I know is there for you.
Andy
Each time I open up I do my friend so I have no doubt on this.
Thank you
To acknowledge that you have a mental health concern is a huge brave step you have taken. I applaud you.
My daughter had an eating disorder and I discovered how difficult and depressing life was for her and the grave worries the family had. She has recovered. Never give up. All the very best to you.
It is a very common and unspoken subject and people think we just look great.
I'm glad she has found light and I'm sure I will too.
Really appreciate your time
