I Was A Swimmer I was at the age of 9 when I got anorexia nervosa and after a while, I developed bulimia nervosa. Before all of this, I was a swimmer and I loved to run around and go crazy to music. I played the piano and got an A+ in my exam. I did 5 hours of dance a week, but then my life began to crumble. I cried every day and got lots of anxiety. I hardly ate anything and I had an addiction of exercising. I was admitted into the hospital but I continued to refuse to eat. They put a nasalgastric tube down my throat on both of my hospital trips. I was seriously dehydrated. I was given an IV pump at 2:30 in the morning. I began vomiting and hiding food. After staying in the hospital for a number of weeks, I felt better and was released to go home. |
