I have come to the conclusion that my eating disorder is mainly me searching for control. I have never really had a constant in my life; what with parent trouble and such.
And i find control in what i eat (or rather don't eat) I live with 3 men, my dad and 2 older brothers. I have always been considered the baby, the little girl of the house and treated differently to my brothers. I was always the sensible one who never really did anything bad, which made it ten times worse when i did break the rules/law/expectations. I am 16, and they all still treat me as if i am incapable of doing anything for myself. Everything i say is laughed at and ignored and they all would rather i was seen and not heard, possibly not even seen. They suffocate me in their expectations and how i am never allowed to have a say.
I hate it! And to add to my 'cage' i live in the middle of no where making it that much harder to escape from them and this shit hole i live in. I swear to God i hate this life. One day when i move away i can forget about them. Not only has my upbringing of men left me feeling i have lack of control; but i also hate men. Well, i hate the thought of needing them. I feel uncomfortable in those 'intimate' situations despite wishing for them. They have left me a bitter person afraid of what could happen; always thinking of the worst.
I find it hard to trust and i find it hard to feel intimacy; i am scared of rejection, but even more afraid of needing someone, especially a man.
