We've been best friends since we were 8 years old, you have been helping me, loving me, caring for me when nobody else could. We've been through incredibly tough situations together and I'm so happy you've guided me through the darkness and inspired me to carry on even when my world was tumbling around me, I will always be thankful for that.

I remember the time when someone suspected you, it was the dinner lady when I was just 11 years old. She told my mum that I was "refusing cake after sports games" and that was unlike me because I always used to want the cake. I told my mum not to worry one bit and that I just haven't been fancying cake and would just prefer cookies. Do you remember when the sports teacher and dinner lady sat me down because you told me I just needed salad no cooked food and they told me I was getting slimmer and they were starting to worry. Oh anorexia, I remember how much you praised me for the noticeable weight loss, I miss those days. 

Anorexia, do you remember when you made me hide laxatives in my welly boot when I was 12? I was going camping on a school trip and you told me it would be better if I took these with me. Anorexia, why did you allow a 12 year old to take laxatives, thats not very supportive. But you helped me lose weight so I am grateful for that. Thank you for helping me sneak out of food situations on the trip I was really stressing about it, but you taught me your tips and tricks that I saw on those websites. We will do this together anorexia, I guess?

Anorexia, I am quite angry at you, you are still my best friend though so I'm not really angry. You made me faint at a sports tour abroad during the final of my netball tournament, I love netball with all my heart and now people are worried about me playing netball. What are you doing? Lets just go back to before, lets just celebrate our small achievements and not push my body to extremes ok. Im on meal support now on this trip now I have to eat.

Oh thank you anorexia, you taught me how to be perfectionistic and now I have got into loads of different schools and even the top school in the country. I love you anorexia, thank you for pushing me till 2am revising. I know I am only 13 but you helped me so much in my life and I'm so grateful.

Anorexia, I feel faint and Im struggling to stand, please lay of me for a while, I'm 14 now and I can see I'm not healthy. Im starting to attend therapy now. I've been diagnosed with an eating disorder, they do not know its you yet though anorexia. I know you say I should close up and not tell anyone about you, but I'm started to get scared anorexia.

I had 14 seizures anorexia, why are you rewarding me for being so physically weak anorexia, I'm only 15 and people say they are scared for my life anorexia. I do not know what to do. I might just tell them about you, but I'm scared for what you will do.

Anorexia, I have been told if I do not start eating I will be going to hospital. I know your telling me that I will never actually go to hospital but the doctors sound serious. I've refused weigh in's like you said and all blood tests. But what if they do send me to hospital.

Anorexia, we had to call 999 last night because of heart attack symptoms. Ive only just turned 16. I do not know if your my best friend anymore I just want to be rid of you. Please stop making me ill, I know your not an illness, just stop causing me fainting and the risk of heart attacks please.

Anorexia, your my best friend and you made me get sectioned under section 2 of the mental health act for nutritional treatment from anorexia. I cannot go home. Its almost christmas time. Anorexia I hate you. Stop it. Your my enemy. Anorexia I now see your an illness. I was almost tube fed today. Stop this. You are horrible to me. 

I have spent 4 months in an inpatient unit in Maidenhead trying to recover from you anorexia. I am a healthy weight. You are screaming at me anorexia. However I know your wrong. Your evil and I do not want to hear your voice again.

Anorexia, you have almost left me now. You are still around some days but others I am more confident in myself. Ive even eaten pizza anorexia. Did you hear that. I've eaten pizza. Im fed up with you anorexia. You've made me have a high chance of losing my fertility and made me have over 30 seizures and fainted over 90 times in my life. Anorexia. I want to recover. Goodbye
