Just another girl dreaming of being weightless
I’m Cathy, 21, a medical student, 5’9”, with a BMI that has fluctuated between 18 and 22.1 over the years. I’m bipolar, bisexual, London born and raised and I love partying, uni life and rowing.
I’ve had binging/purging anorexia since I was 14, but have never really shown it because I have horribly overbearing parents who watch every mouthful I take since they once found me using laxatives to lose weight around 4yrs ago. I’ve just got better at hiding it since then.
I have a brother and parents that love me, and a string of relationships who have told me you’re good just the way you are but I look in the mirror and all you see is fat, drooping over your jeans, saddlebags, folds where they shouldn’t be.
I live in a dream world most of the time, I bury myself in fiction, people have told me it’s quite sad to watch because I get so upset when I finish said book and the world collapses for me. I hate reality. I hate monotony and normality. I want faeries and war and love and hate and extreme emotions and situations. I remove myself from myself mentally and it’s a far happier place. It’s why I spend a lot of time asleep or drunk.
I’m fairly self destructive and seek out things that hurt me. I see it as karma for who I am. I’ve the ability and potential to get straight A’s and have done in the past but as soon as someone’s not watching me I’ll just do whatever the fuck I can to make sure I fail and therefore have another reason to say look, I’m a failure. I’ll seek out relationships where I get hurt. I’ll drink until bad things happen and I nearly get raped.
I’m quite mixed up and confused and unhappy about 97.5% of the time. And I find myself hard to explain. But I hope this gives you a picture of me, even if it doesn’t explain anything or make any of my feelings clear.
