What affects 1 in 100 adolescent women?
It’s the third most common chronic illness among young adults.
20% of people suffering from it will prematurely die.
Less than half who are diagnosed will fully recover.
It’s a disorder known as anorexia nervosa—and I was diagnosed with it. Who would’ve thought that I would be that one in one hundred? They told me to just stop being different—stop caring so much, but superficial society embodies me with this mentality I just can’t push away. Now it’s eating me alive, and I don’t know what to do. They laugh at me and say the diagnosis is not true. You can’t see my rib cages, nor do I look as brittle as the norm, so all I seem to spout are lies? Lack of knowledge doesn’t change the fact that inside I know something just isn’t right. Now only one question remains… Shall I live or shall I die?

A/N: As you read this, I want you to take into consideration that this is the reality that many young women do face. It goes beyond the general understanding that all anorexics are skinny twigs that need therapy, and true facts will be revealed through this fanfic as it is based on a true story. I want to disprove the stereotypes and negative stigma that follows the word "anorexic" and bring a higher level of respect for it.
If you're curious, I'm not anorexic, but a close friend of mine was. This semester I took psychology as an option and realized there were a lot of misconceptions regarding anorexia. Because of my ignorance towards this disorder, I never took my friend seriously when she finally found the guts to admit it. She could have died at that time, and we would've been the ones responsible for not taking her seriously. After learning a bit about anorexia in Psychology, it inspired me to create this fanfic, which I have not pre-planned. Please read this with open minds ^^ This is a more personal story than some of my others, and Goo Hara will be representing my friend who struggled with this conflict. Nicole will be my persona. Most characters will be representing a person in real life.
This story is NOT about love!
