Control
My struggle with bulimia
TW: Eating disorder behaviors
* * *
It's a struggle that I have everyday
It was my only sense of control
Until recently
Now it seems like it controls me
I skip meals since it hurts to purge
My throat is sore from the control I had
My life revolves around this illness
It's scary to know this can kill me
All I wanted was control of something
But I managed to lose even that
Now it's just pain and suffering
I'm dizzy from not eating
But guilty when I do
* * *
If you or someone you know is struggling with any eating disorder, please seek help. They are deadly, no matter what one it is.
