Struggling with ana

I have had anorexia for years now, I've recovered once and now I've relapsed two months ago, loosing over 20kg in that time. I feel miserable and so incredibly lonely not only because this disorder makes me push everyone away, loose interested in the things I love but also being a guy makes me feel like a weirdo, like I'm just seeking attention or something since it's apparently a girls-only illness. It has completely consumed me, I don't think about anything else but food, calories, weight, exercise.

Differently not a girl's only illness. I hope you get help from some. My partner and I go to an eat disorder support group once a week and I also get therapy.

@zombiebro I use to feel that way to, but finding a support group and therapy was the best thing I've ever done. I still have my struggles but know I know I'm not alone and I have support from others who have similar struggles.
