Hi Emily,

You're not alone. I've been there too, and recovered, so I know what it's like.
You're afraid to let go of the control because you might go into free fall. No, the AN is the tether that is keeping you from flying!

Parents are funny people. Unless they really understand an Anorexic mind, it's difficult to know what to do. They obviously love you very much because they are trying to help you, as they see it, but I agree, you have to be ready to recover for yourself.

Trust your heart that is telling you to eat. Don't listen to the gremlins in your mind that are telling you that you can't. You can. YOU are in control, NOT THEM. Have faith in your own strength to beat your gremlins, they are SO wrong! You ARE strong enough to beat them.

Take care of yourself and know that you're never alone. You CAN break free, never give up.
