It was always "she is anorexic" or "are you anorexic?". Thus, it seems as if others see the illness as an identity, which is perhaps one contributing factor which causes so many to see their ED as their identity? <br /><br />However, I think if I were to be diabetic, or have another such illness, I would use the adjective to describe myself without any problem, because by identifying myself as such, in a way I am accepting an illness I cannot change (unlike the ED, which is, to some degree, within my sphere of control or at least my responsibility), and it would not be detrimental to me. <br /><br />On the other hand, labelling myself as an "anorexic", which I did in the past, had a negative effect on myself. <br /><br /><br />Cathy, I think you are right in pointing out that the AN always leaves some kind if residue and that we much be careful or warning signs, because, just like a fractured arm which may heal itself but still be weaker than its non-fractured counterpart, so are our minds.Kushikahttps://againstanorexia.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-86497613261708688162010-05-23T04:49:05.968-04:002010-05-23T04:49:05.968-04:00love what you have written here carrie and what Ca...love what you have written here carrie and what Cathy has written too. <br /><br />I too will ALWAYS have to manage my illness, whether it is AN or EDNOS, depending on my weight at the time. <br /><br />I am so glad my identity is not the ED, that i suffer from an ED is enough to have to worry about without becoming the ED itself! <br /><br />Great post! <br /><br />xJessihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15523709284033789823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-44368052968639538362010-05-23T04:37:00.783-04:002010-05-23T04:37:00.783-04:00*I meant 'or' not 'of' [bipolar......*I meant 'or' not 'of' [bipolar...] above.Cathy (UK)http://www.youtube.com/user/misstiggykinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-68795026774470066812010-05-23T02:47:52.213-04:002010-05-23T02:47:52.213-04:00You are so right to differentiate between the adje...You are so right to differentiate between the adjective ('anorexic') and the noun ('anorexia nervosa'). <br /><br />Like you Carrie, I do view my AN as a chronic illness - in that I will always need to be vigilant of its potential to return. I must always remember to ensure that I eat adequately and maintain my weight (my psychiatrist suggested I liken myself to someone with type I diabetes who must keep his/her blood glucose concentration near constant...). I must also recognise the warning signs of relapse and seek help when necessary - because there come a 'point of no return' in AN in which the illness takes over the mind. In addition, I need to avoid potent triggers: the main one for me being stress. Stress causes me to over-exercise and I have a long history of exercise-dependence. <br /><br />However, AN is NOT my identity. I have always been uncomfortable with adjectives such as 'the anorexic'. Our culture has changed radically since I developed AN in the 1970s, at a time when AN was not really in the public domain. Nowadays the illness is 'thrown around' in the media as though it is a 'fad' and a 'lifestyle choice' (... we have 'pro-ana' to 'thank' for the latter inference...). Indeed, a simple search on Google reveals 1000s of web hits for web sites that claim to teach people how to become anorexic, or people searching for such instructions of 'how to do it'. It is almost as if for some individuals, to have AN is a valued identity. <br /><br />In my humble/arrogant(?) opinion, to try to develop AN is like trying to develop schizophrenia of bipolar illness. I never chose it and I have worked very, very hard to achieve a stable state.Cathy (UK)http://www.youtube.com/user/misstiggykinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-20667675239426201052010-05-23T01:24:59.113-04:002010-05-23T01:24:59.113-04:00Thank you so much this is exactly what i needed to...Thank you so much this is exactly what i needed todayjadedchalicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00672966995427325314noreply@blogger.com
