🎵 5 songs that describe what it feels like to have an eating disorder

You ever listen to a song and think, how did that lyric so perfectly put what I’m thinking and feeling into words? Same. There’s something so comforting and cathartic about a song that sounds like it was plucked out of the dark hallways of your mind and placed into a beautiful melody. Here are a few of those songs — songs that remind me of my eating disorder/eating disorder recovery:

The lyric that stuck with me: I'll try not to starve myself, just because you're mad at me

The lyric that stuck with me: Changed my body and my hobbies, switched from regular to diet, used to wonder if being skinny would be worth it if I could die from it, but then I found out that being loved and being small feel synonymous, so I don’t know, if I could do it all again- would I still drink Diet Coke?

The lyric that stuck with me: From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones, I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight

The lyric that stuck with me: I hosted parties and starved my body, like I'd be saved by a perfect kiss
Ok one more: Take the moment and taste it, you've got no reason to be afraid

The lyric that stuck with me: I'm not afraid of a bite, I can take it. Watch how I bend, but I'm, I'm not breaking
