Experience of living with AN	What would you tell someone without an eating disorder, if you would be asked to explain what it’s like for you to have anorexia nervosa?
AN and its influence on ‘normal’ life	What effect has anorexia on your life? How does anorexia influence your life?
Meaning or function of AN	Does anorexia nervosa have some kind of special meaning to you as a person? If so: can you tell me about this special meaning?
Relation between anorexia nervosa and personal identity	From previous research we know that people with AN can have different views on the relation between AN and their personal identity, from experiencing AN as their identity to viewing it as something completely alien, and there might be a lot of different views.

Externalization outside of treatment	Have you ever come across people outside of treatment (e.g. parents, friends, family) that made a distinction between you and your eating disorder?
