Dear jaymehigh,

You need to get off the crack.  Crack, as you know, causes so much visible and irreversible physical damage.  Crack also fuels your eating disorder.  The two combined can cause poor quality of life, severe physical damage, emotional deadness and death.

While you have time, seek help!  If you don’t have medical insurance, go to free medical clinics and the 12-step program for both the crack and anorexia.

For more information on anorexia and medical complications, visit the bella vita website.

Best,

The two illnesses have death in common as a major complication >_< Have you tried talking to any friends or doctors about either of these?
