I first developed anorexia when I was around 15 or 16 and hid it very well for a long time until I was on a family holiday in Italy and my mum sat and cried on the beach when she saw how much I was just skin and bones, it was horrible. I was able to hide it for so long because no one ever thinks boys can get it. Through the next few years I struggled to put on weight until I was in my early twenties. I thought I had gotten over that part of my life but unfortunately now in my late twenties it has come back with a fucking vengence. In the past 8-10 months it has really rooted itself in to a point that the muscles in my forearms have been pretty much wasting away.
One of the few passions I have in life is my guitar and I could some days sit for upwards of an 8 hour session just playing and stopping every now and again but unfortuntaely due to a lot of the muscles in my arms disappearing its been causing my hands to get painfully tired within 10 or 15 minutes of playing or theres sometimes that I cant even finish playing through a full song because hands just give in.
Im just wonderin if anyone might have any tips to retain finger dexterity and strength in my hands to be able to continue doing what I love when Im in a really shit place.
