One thing I find pathetic about anorexia....

(and I don't mean that in a judgmental way, especially) (though everyone, even sick people, know it can be exasperating dealing with neurotic people)

But, what's so BORING about an eating disorder lifestyle is someone reducing life down to this one thing: food. (Or even worse, the absence of something; food.)

There is a huge world out there and a million different experiences...not all of them pleasurable, of course, but still, a huge variety of experiences, perceptions, etc.

To boil life down to an obsessing about this one thing is just so...flat and empty. I think I'd rather shoot myself than dwell on one topic (food/weight/eating) year in and year out. Bluugh.

But I guess it's a self-invented medication. People who develop obsessions are often drawn to them exactly BECAUSE they shut out life, and as long as their life is revolving around one topic, they don't have to deal with other things.

But still, it's like....aren't you bored yet? Jeez.
