A large collection of photos shows young women and girls suffering from extreme anorexia. Each of them is teetering on the edge of life and death with their body weight. It is not uncommon for anorexia to be accompanied by another form of physical self-harm. A severe form of anorexia very seriously damages internal organs such as the brain, liver, kidneys and heart.
If you're thinking about self-harm, please stop and recognize that this won't solve the pain you're feeling. While it might seem like a way to cope, it leaves lasting scars, not just on your body but on your heart as well. There are healthier, safer ways to manage your emotions.
Every wound you inflict is a cry for help. You are not alone. Reaching out to someone you trust can be the first step toward finding a way out of this dark place. You deserve kindness, support, and real healing.
If you need immediate help, please contact a helpline.
