Fat Activist. ED Recovery. She/Her

[Sharon Maxwell she/they @heysharonmaxwel]

They can make all the wishy-washy polished public PR statements, but these are NEDA’s true colors. This is yet another glimpse into why folks in marginalized bodies have been calling out NEDA’s harm for YEARS. (Long before I was ever even diagnosed w/ an ED or knew who NEDA was.)

What are your thoughts and opinions on using prescribed stimulants to help with impulse control in eating disorders? Any great resources on the Pros/cons of this?

I want to cry with how much food prices have gone up at grocery stores.

For the first time in my life (without the help of a stimulant), I just made it 15 days in a row without bingeing!! #EDRecovery

Steps are taken to stop teenagers/ young adults (or anyone really) of being taken advantage of when it comes to continuing their education.

[Carissa @wildflowers1996]

There needs to be more education about student loans. (I mean we shouldn’t even have to take out thousands of dollars to continue our education, but anyways…) I had no one to walk me through the student loan process. I had no idea which loans were better than others.

[Carissa @wildflowers1996]

Going to college should not be this expensive. Interest rates for loans should not be this high. Income based repayment should always be an option. I know people are going to say it’s unfair, but I really hope student loan debt is cancelled completely and
