Hey .
Really, the health effects of eating disorders depend on the symptoms. Wether that is restricting, binging, or purging. I'm not a doctor, but I'm guessing you will have the health risks of constant purging, restricting, and binging. The risks basically come with the actions...
for example: when I was primarily relying on purging to keep my weight low, i had an extremely low potassium, low protien levels, cavities, etc. But when I switched back to primarily restricting, i had low bone density, no periods, blue tinted nail beds, was always cold, etc. all the health risks are there... I mean, i really don't know its just a guess based on my experiences, but i hope it helped!
I wanna fly. So I do gymnastics instead.
I'll just keep holding on to what i believe and oh I believe in you. Give me the strength for the fight and the heart to believe cause I've got to believe in you. I feel so alive.
