This Andrea is a very emotional piece. I know how you feel so all alone in this disorder that you have. But please let me tell you...You are not alone! I am not Anorexic, when I was very young, I was what they would call, but never diagnosed a border-line bulimic. You know...purging after eating? But there are so many groups on this site that related to just about all disorders that a person could have. I know that you will find that one if you choose to be a part of one. Because sometimes interacting with others that suffer from the same thing as you do can help a great deal, and will also feed and help you in your writing. 
Your Poem:
I like how that you are willing to talk about yourself in the form of Poetry. This has described you on a regular day of being down, which for a lot of people they never experience. You are brave for this in my opinion, because you reminded me of my first days here on Writing.com, I was scared to death, but all I could write about it seemed was dark things from my past, and believe me, I know first hand how hard it is to put yourself out there for all to read about you in poetry form, in any form. You must always remember, for every bad review that you may get, you will get 10 good ones in the place of it, so please, do not let any bad review STOP you from staying here, and doing what comes so naturally to you as anyone can see from this poem that you have written.
What stood out to me in this piece:
The way that you described yourself of being a shell of yourself of what you used to be in the way that you feel about yourself, on this particular day. [ for that I am sorry that you feel that way at any time] And the way that you see yourself. I also like the part near the end of this piece. Where you can still see the real you inside, the you that you know that you are, that inside beauty is still there, that with you saying..."she is safer, she is not a shell of me; full of life and fun, she wants to live" YES! I love that line!!!! As you said, this is how you feel on days like this. Email me if you ever want to talk...I am a good listener, and can be a good friend too. Your writing in my opinion is very good my dear, well done! You are a natural! Write On!
In My Opinion:
I saw no errors at all, I may have gotten caught up in the reading and might have over looked something, but I really don't think so. I saw no grammatical errors, your free verse was tight and looked to be dead on correct. Your sentence structure is of what I would expect of a free verse form of Poetry. Well done!

Just reviewing as a reader because I like to read as well as like to write. I hope that what I have said, doesn't in no way discourage you but help. I enjoyed your writings. Keep writing. "The WDC Angel Army" This is a good group to be a part of...they help everyone, just because they are Angles of this site! They also have many great programs that help all new or old members. Give them a try, tell kiyasama that I sent you, she will know who I am...I love her to pieces, she has the biggest heart of Gold in her, except for the Owners which are the The StoryMaster & The StoryMistress ...they are simply the best people in the world!
A new friend,
