[quote=Anonymous]OP, people are different. Some people with anorexia do not have personality disorders.

That being said, it is more common in people with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) -- see below. It just is, on the population level, and that's not any sort of commentary on the people posting in this thread.

[u]The Connection Between Borderline Personality Disorder and Eating Disorders[/u]
"Up to 53.8% of patients with BPD also meet criteria for an eating disorder (Salters-Pedneault, P. (n.d.)."

and, as well as many more:

So someone with anorexia might have this problem, or they might not. If they do, they might be able to work with it and maintain healthy relationships, or they might not. Same as if they do not have BPD. But having both means treatment and prognosis is more complicated.

You get to decide who you want in your life. You don't have to make a case for not being around someone, you don't have to defend the choice, and you get to make that choice. Figure out what works for you and is healthy for you, all things considered.[/quote]
