The artist Peg Parnevik30, has suffered from an eating disorder for a long time. In the summer of 2021, she shared how hard she found it to go to the beach.
“It seems like the stupidest, most privileged and confusing thing to say but I’m terrified of beach days. All my hard work with my eating disorder is flying out the window,” she wrote at the time.
Now she says in a post on Instagram that she is once again in a difficult period.
“It’s been a long time since I had one crash out because of my eating disorder but lately I feel like it’s right on the edge all, all, all the time… that the crying is in my throat… that I think about every bite,” she writes.
“Break down and lock me up”
Peg Parnevik reasons about whether it could be because she doesn’t feel “ready” for the summer or that she feels “claustrophobic” because of the heat.
“Maybe it’s because everyone has become so fucking thin? Or maybe it’s just me who sounds whiny,” she writes.
Furthermore, she states that she still works with her bulimia every day.
“Most of the time I feel happy and strong and try to think that life is more than a flat stomach. But sometimes I just want to break down and lock myself away.”
