How do anorexic people function?

1.62K viewsBiologyOther

When I don’t eat enough, I get low blood sugar and I find it hard to concentrate and function enough to do anything. And that’s just from skipping a meal, let alone if I hadn’t eaten for days or was subsisting for years on a very small amount of calories. When I see anorexic people in movies or books, they seem to have enough energy to exercise compulsively, go to school or work, and other things. Is it that their eating disorder gives them anxiety and that makes them more energetic? Or does your body just get used to not eating and functions fine after a while?

you just kinda get used to it. before that even it feels like a high. like success. i always told myself it was a sign i was “on the right track”. glad i’m not that bad anymore. i nearly fainted at work several times but felt so “superhuman” when i would push through. absolutely crazy and delusional.
