"I was told, you aren't anorexic, you were born in the wrong body. This is your body fighting to be a boy. I remember posting online that I was growing hair all over my body because I was so underweight that I couldn't regulate my own body temperature. An adult told me that this was a sign that my body was fighting to be a boy. I was told to go find a letter of recommendation and that this would unlock all of my treatment and I could get whatever I needed to look different fast."
What the fuck?

@beardalaxy @Rocket I can relate to religion making one fucked up. Almost lost my sanity to it. Sad to hear that your therapists thought that praying was the answer when you probably needed to learn how to manage what you were going through. How are you holding up now?
@beardalaxy @Rocket You're welcome. I'm glad to hear that you were able to start rebuilding yourself. It certainly isn't easy to build ourselves up, especially with little guidance in this now. I hope you continue to build yourself up and that it remains worth it. I think it is a life-long experience as we grow, one worth taking.
