ive NEVER spoken ab this online but for some reason i feel like it’s necessary rn. i almost died from an eating disorder in 2021 and then went on to suffer from 2 different ones for another 4 years, im not saying that for any sympathy but im saying it to make awareness that people’s comments towards me did not help, whether they came from a place of love or “concern”, they DID NOT HELP. what saved my life was my own realisations and myself, not OTHER PEOPLES COMMENTS. luckily I’m in a healthy state of mind now, and it took a long time!! but honestly if I wasn’t recovered i can guarantee that the scrutiny around ariana rn would trigger me a lot. NOT ariana herself btw!! the HATE around her! the comments about her are what can directly attack the mind of someone with an eating disorder. ariana has not done anything wrong, it’s the horrible people talking about her who have.
NBC reports that the scrutiny surrounding Ariana Grande’s body has been triggering individuals with eating disorders:
“Several care providers said their clients have been overwhelmed with emotions, including fear and anger, as they watched thousands of people leave a mixture of worried and cruel comments about Grande’s body.”
