people see others swallowing their own fingers, abusing laxatives, chewing then spitting out, or even going on days on a oreo and water and think THAT is how a diet should be?
i’ve met sm people in my life with so many different specific / personal variations of an ed (PICA, BED, ARFID, etc) and it really pisses me off how a lot of people seem to only focus on anorexia ngl
yeah this is definitely whats most important to talk about eds
not the risk of decaying teeth or your body starting to eat your own organs to survive, no no periods and fertility are what matters most or else how can you call yourself a woman 🥺
I love my edtwt circle and I agree that eds should not be demonised however hot take but if you think about an outsiders perspective I understand the hate because an enabling community full of people with eds sounds like a TERRIBLE idea (and it probably is tbf)
@soinnzayne@slsshrrrsangel@HeVa15582@a5173042691149 and their own comment was in bad taste for a person mourning a dead friend
even if one doesn’t intend to sound like an asshole, it’s still an expected reaction to an insensitive response
Anyone who ignorantly asks why people become obese on here needs to die like if you're in an ED space you should know that binging exists but also things like SA, abuse, feeder parents/partners, depression, disability, all can cause severe obesity it's common sense omfg
i wish people wouldn't take my eating disorder as this personal thing. i don't give a fuck what you look like bro, stop projecting ur insecurities onto MY eating disorder
my problem with constant lack of nutrients and need for taking pills since early age for replacement of the nutrients i should be getting were never because of insecurities with my body image
but of course it’s the ignorants who hold all truths about “evil disordered people” sure
also people seem to forget that EATING disorders are illness that affects primarily your EATING habits, body image insecurities may or may not play a part on it, but they’re not always main “cause”
having the body of my dreams or whatever would never make arfid stop haunting me
i wish people who didn’t understand eds wouldn’t speak on them. we know it’s not a diet
eating disorders are a mental illness often caused by sexual abuse or a need for control rather than vanity. eating “healthy” will not prevent an eating disorder if you’re not mentally stable
