Confessions of a former anorexic?

[Anonymous]

Hey. For the past year I've been keeping a dark secret locked up inside me. I was anorexic. I got many questions from people about the weight loss but I always danced around the subject delicately. I've seen help for it and have been recovered 7 months. Yesterday I was talking to a really close friend and how I should be an advocate for a healthy life style and help prevent others from going down my path. We made a plan to write an essay about my experience and post it to Instagram. The essay is about my life, my struggles, and my hopes. It was rather long but a few people decided to read it. I was rather proud of myself for finnaly stepping into the light and admiting to my past. I got a lot of support from people. The problem was I got quite a bit of hate too. Many people unfollowed me and blocked me. I'm actually not able to post/like/comment ect. until wendsday. Do you think what I did was the right thing? If not, how do I fix it? Please take time to answer this, it's been really bothering me. Thanks.

That's bad. Anorexia nearly killed my sister three years ago when she was 14. I have not read your story but a first hand account needs to be told.

i think what you did, posting your story, was something to be really proud of

Oh wow, how can anyone give you hate for that? It was incredibly brave, and anyone who have anything against it, must be despicable persons.
