I've been suffering from eating disorders (anorexia and bulimia) for almost 15 years and I'm still struggling for recovery. I am now 39 and I grew up in a stable and loving family. I've always been thin as a child and never got any remarks about my body/weight. I can't figure out what triggered my disease. Recently I suddenly remembered that at about 10 or 11 I suffered some sort of sexual abuse from one of my school teachers who intentionally kept touching my breast while passing his arm over my shoulder as we were walking somewhere (school trip?). This went on for several minutes since I didn't dare to get rid of his arm and the only thing I did was to look back constantly so that by changing my body position, his hand didn't fall on my breast. This happened once and despite feeling very embarrassed and very uncomfortable at the time, I don't remember being actually traumatised. I just forgot until now. I wonder if, despite not having given too much thought to that episode, it could be somehow related to my log story of eating disorders and my unhealthy relationship with my body.
