Denial.
I don't have a problem.
Of course I eat every day.

Refusal.
I don't need your help.
I eat enough to get by.

Ignorance.
This isn't a real disorder.
I can't bring myself to eat.

Pain.
I do need your help.
I haven't eaten a thing in weeks.

Ignored.
Please help me.
I think I'm dying.

Starved.
I asked for your help,
but it's too late now.
