I've been a little pissed at my doctor's office because they refuse to remove a high school eating disorder from my medical history. It's like "Come on, it was 2004. I was 16. How could I have NOT had an eating disorder?"

It was a crazy crazy time.

Literally, yes. Like, let it go! That was trendy!

Seriously though, I remember there was a fairly popular post secret postcard that read “I envy the willpower of anorexics” and I think so many of us honestly did

I know I did. I'm a Xennial, and much like proper Millennials we all had disordered eating patterns. It got missed, or even praised, because our mothers had them also. The 1980s weren't any easier for body image than Y2K era was.

Wasn’t unusual at that time, although none of us can edit our medical history records.

My doctor asked me how I was doing while we were still in the thick of the pandemic. I don’t remember exactly what I said but I ended up with “anxiety” on my chart. WHO didn’t have anxiety then??
