Songs about eating disorders and cutting?
I'm an active member in my church and as a returning member to the retreat and service trips, I was asked to give a speech to my peers. The speech is reflective of my past before I was able to over come my problems. For about 5 years I dealt with eating disorders starting with anorexia which developed into anorexia with bulimic tendencies into bulimia. The struggle with eating disorders disrupted my life and led me into deep depression. I began to overexercise and binge more and more. My life revolved around my eating disorder and soon I felt like there was nothing left. I began cutting and drinking heavily. The cutting became my way of compensating for everything I felt I did wrong i my life. So i've been left with the difficult task of writing down my experience and hopefully having the courage to present my journey to my peers. I've been "clean" for 6 months now. I was also asked to find a song that could be played after I spoke. The song is supposed to be a reflection of the difficulties I had in my life (i.e. the eating disorders and cutting). No screaming but besides that anything's allowed. The best suggestion I've heard so far is When She Cries by Britt Nicole. Whatever songs you have let me know!
