"We Know The Price We Pay" -A Day To Remember

The question should not be: Do you know what you are doing to yourself?
A better question would be: Do you care that you are doing this to yourself?

     Ask me the first question, and I will reply with: Yes.
Of course I know. How could I possibly be unaware of the effects, short-term and long-term, that my eating disorder and self-harm behaviors have on me? If you think I don't know what I'm doing to myself, then you're stupid. You're dumb. I was in residential treatment for eighteen months straight. I got all those useless handouts on eating disorders, self-harm, and even substance abuse; I got all the lectures from therapists, nutritionists, psychiatrists, social workers, Emergency Room docs, etc; I've heard all the horror stories from those who have recovered, those who have yet to do so, and people who have lost loved ones to those things. I know all there is to know about the dangers that come with them.
