Emotional Anorexia and relationships

How to enjoy life as a couple in front of so many restrictions that the lives of people who present with such severe disease, are imposed. We all know that Anorexia is an eating disorder in which food is restricted to the maximum, and of course, diets, difficult to sit at the table and sharing are a martyrdom.

That is, people with anorexia have lost the taste for life, so to speak, however, their relationships, but each one is specific, it has some similarities, namely: a strong need to control, tend to perfection, complete fasting spend hours without feeling hungry. Also limit their sexual pleasure, reject everything that has to do with taste, and receive nourishment.

In this sense, people with anorexia, a disorder also have emotions. But there are people, without being anorexic physiologically speaking, emotional anorexia.

In the emotional anorexia, refusal is to receive love, affection, love, gifts, good conversation, by contrast, are people who are isolated in their feelings and on their way to reciprocate. They are afraid to commit themselves to enjoy, to feel gratified with a partner, however, only require either simply cross their arms and close to them emotionally nourished. Of course, the emotional anorexics, either, are willing to give much in relationships.

Persons with anorexia are full of fears: eating, getting fat. In this sense, emotional anorexia occur with great fears in life, fear of being hurt, fear of being abandoned, fear of criticism, fear, fear, fear, fear consumes their life. Even though, they want to feel love, fear paralyzes them.

What can lead a person to become emotionally anorexic?

Apart from fear, perhaps, suffered great violence in childhood or severe trauma, which was not allowed to feel, that deserves love, joy, enjoy. We imitate perhaps one of the parents, who never told us you want, or could express their affection. Perhaps children suffer from some disorder in the school, and a fellow physicist or teacher marked us, the brothers could also be an important element for review.

In a sense, sometimes, people with anorexia emotional, are willing to receive love, affection, details, hospitality, then, to experience strong feelings of guilt, which lead him to destroy all that they have received and what they love most in life. We need to return to the diet and the destruction of the affections. The emotional life is so impoverished, self-esteem, is found only on the floor, and of course self-concept is extremely deteriorated.

The ability to feel connected with others is in such decline that are able to use mechanisms of violence and aggression to topple love who else gives you. Nothing is ever enough for them. Never afraid to be touched, grateful and enjoy for the simple fact of being alive. Are isolated permanently.

Any person who meets an emotional disorder anorexia, always remains, never add, subtract affection, hugs subtraction, subtraction emotions, subtraction thoughts, humor remains, subtract pleasure. Do not know how to receive and give. We are filled with great sorrow and passion for life is gone.

The problem is that my partner suffer emotional anorexia, the big problem is that I am not able to receive all the good that my partner gives me. And so, as he says, the poet Luis Felipe:

"What unites us all, so that nothing separates us"
