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?

Having worked with someone who was anorexic (they got help, thankfully) the easy answer is they don’t. Long story short, they will try and pretend to be stable, but will have some weird issues that you write off as just being quirky. When they are home they are having all the drama, meltdowns, etc. Then, one day, something will fully set them off at work and it will all come out.
