A Love Letter to My Patients in Early Recovery from Anorexia

You recently accused me of wanting you to be fat. Here’s what I’ve been thinking. . . .

What I care about is your brain, that it’s nourished sufficiently for you to think clearly and be yourself again.

My name is Ellie and I have experienced an eating disorder, depression and borderline personality disorder.  My mental illness has affected my whole life, I am unable to work at the moment and have been denied a place at university because of it.

This blog is part of the Time to Talk Day 2015 #Take5ToBlog initiative.  What
