I have been isolated by almost everyone I know because of my eating disorder. Everyone has abandoned me. Nobody has checked to see how I am. Nobody replies to me anymore. I’m alone. The only couple of people who will speak to me don’t believe I am sick and are encouraging my weight loss and purging. I have to cut them off though because it is very damaging to my mental health. My family doesn’t even check on me. This has made me want to lose more weight and not recover. It is so hurtful.

Does anyone find this illness extremely isolating? I feel like people are avoiding me and even like some people are scared of me. No family or friends have checked on me since my diagnosis a few months ago. I’m just alone.
