My friends keep calling me anorexic. Even those who don't know that I was hospitalised for a mental illness.
It's really frustrating because a girl in hospital DID have anorexia and was recovering atleast physically, but my friends from hospital keep saying 'You don't want to end up like her do you?'
I'm not losing any weight at all, but I'm eatting a piece of fruit and a few sandwiches maybe a day.
I think I'm caving into my mum's pressure for me to be thinner (I'm about 60 kilos/ 132 pounds) so I am a bit heavy, but I'm not overweight. But nothing I do makes her happy. I won't eat much so she'll be happy, and at first she will be until I feel ill and she'll say I have to watch out for my blood sugars. But when I do what she wants, my friends get scared.
I don't know what to do. I want to be thinner, but I don't want my friends to keep calling me anorexic. It degrades people with anorexia and those who have recovered as some sort of small illness when it usually isn't.
