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
@harper033_ "you do not menstruate and you cannot become pregnant" so does that mean infertile women and those who have gone thru menopause aren't women?? she needs a reality check oml i'm so sorry this is disgusting to say to your child
@HUNTxxERIS my partner and i are long distance so that probably helps a lot but even when we see each other irl i just hide the worst of it and they never try to question why i don't take off certain clothes, tbh i think he doesn't wanna be too invasive or pressure me. he does know i
