I Had An Eating Disorder

It was so bad. I was losing 2-4 pounds a day. I dropped like 20 pounds in 1 week and 4 days. I remember sometimes eating as little as 300 calories a day and only drinking water 24/7. If I ate when I wasn't supposed to, I'd punish myself and pinch myself really bad, or something along those lines. As well as not eating even more. When you're like that, you just don't eat anymore, you don't see the point in eating. I remember my beautiful long hair began to fall out in chunks in the shower. My nails became really brittle, and I didn't get my period for almost 4 months. I was dizzy, shaky, self-conscious, and felt depressed all the time. It was during the time my depression had started (a month before my bad eating habits popped up). I don't want to say it was an eating disorder since I wasn't diagnosed, but it definitely wasn't normal. When I finally stopped around 4 months into it I was really sad and angry with myself for gaining all my weight back, and felt uglier than ever.
I know I'm not ugly, and that definitely wasn't the right thing to do. Its good to take care of yourself, just don't over do it.
