@aegyocals I actually ran a poll on here a while back on my old account
It had over 1500 responses (which is a REALLY good sample size and bigger than this study had iirc)
The average еdtwt user’s bmi was 20.4 and 30% of users were underweight
@evangellical1 These same ppl will post “avgspo vs thinspо” threads where you can’t even tell which is which bc there’s like a 3 lb difference between the two pics
The way I’ve come out of literally every session with my psychiatrist genuinely wanting to kіll myself and somehow he thinks he’s a “good” therapist and I’m the problem
I think he’s got a long con going of trying to push me to suіcide bc he also recently prescribed me a 3 month supply of the max dose of an antidepressant he was planning to take me off of, so then I had 180 pills and nothing to do with them but od
In January I had virtually no desire to eat, I went like a week without eating easily and only stopped bc I was scared of the physical symptoms I started having
Now I can’t stop thinking about eating I can’t even go two days and the whole time I’m constantly wanting food
@poppyduvet My understanding is ur digestive system needs time to switch back to food as its main source of energy instead of mainly burning fat bc ig it was basically sleeping on the job so long it forgot how to do its thing idk
@connectionfear I grew up with 4 siblings so if there was anything you wanted to eat in the house it was either eat it immediately or it will be gone tomorrow and realizing how much that effected my relationship with food was devastating
Also shed definitely tell my parents to RUN from that psychiatrist treating me rn and my dad would listen to her. He loves him bc hes like equally insane as my dad but if his mom called him a quack hed either have listen or have a major cognitive dissonance situation on his hands
My grandma dіеd before I was born but I think she would be the only person in my whole family to validate that I actually have an ed bc she used to specialize in treating them. I’m conflicted
I feel like if she had been alive all my childhood I would never have gotten so mentally ill in the first place but idk either way the damage is done now so I don’t think bringing her back would now would make me better it just would be nice to have her there
