Anorexia is a deadly eating disorder for teens and young adults.
Every time i hear your name

my mind comes across all of these unforgettable memories.



The tingle in my legs,

the shake of my hands,

the stutter in my words,

the powerful feeling of emptiness.



Suddenly it becomes a part of me.

It becomes me.

The real me disintegrates.



She claims she is your friend.

She whispers in your ear ever so silently, "you're too fat. Don't eat" and you obey her.

You don't want her to be angry with you.

You don't want her to be angry with you because you know what she will do.

You know what she is capable of doing to your body.



"STARVE!" She yells, "YOU WILL STARVE IF THAT'S WHAT IT TAKES!"

So you do.

You let her have complete control.



It was a test.

You failed.

Now "Ana" is your mind and soul.

Your lack of concentration?

Don't worry, its just Ana doing her job.

She will come for others.

Just be aware.

Ana is out there.

Are you scared?
