Perfectionism Mask · Nervous System Overdrive · Identity Overhaul After Collapse
After a prior psychiatric hospital stay, I entered El Camino Hospital’s Eating Disorder Unit in Mountain View. It was late 2011. I was 16.
I came in weighing 97 lbs.
I left at 107.
But the real transformation was psychological:
I went from a love-seeking weirdo,
to a “bad girl” chasing chaos,
to suddenly becoming a perfect girl.
There was no pause between phases — only a pendulum swing.
At El Camino, I did every homework assignment perfectly.
I read constantly. I craved control, order, structure.
I got straight A’s for the rest of high school.
No chaos. No rebellion. Only discipline. Only function.
