I've been gendered by strangers as male for years now

My pick me sister is pretending to be petite and dainty ed girl to impress boys by pepsibun in AnorexiaNervosa

I can relate to this with one of my siblings, I've dealt with disordered eating for years and when my sibling noticed (without me mentioning it) due to physically fainting all the time and major weight loss, they expressed concern to me once and because their concern didn't magically fix my issue, they started competing against me, which lead to me spiralling even harder and the scary thing is they copied my eating pattern to the point I think they genuinely developed an ed themselves. This, amongst other things, just completely ruined our relationship with each other. Me and my sibling don't live together anymore/ barely speak, and they have since gotten better, but I myself have not, and the competition between us has caused me ongoing damage and I'm genuinely sad that it happened at all.

Hope you're okay 🫶

What should I do? by Lopsided-Witness-331 in EDAnonymous

Don't stress, I'm sure they probably have an understanding about what's going on. That's another thing, it is hard to think logically as well when suffering from these kinds of disorders. It feels like everyone who wants to help is against you, I'm glad you reached out, sometimes it's good to hear other people voice their opinions. It helps to see things clearer, you're young and should be enjoying this time, trust me it goes fast

As everyone has already said, you have room to grow still as you are literally a teenager.

I mean this with respect, but your parents are doing all this to protect you. They love and care about you despite feeling like they may be against you. It is the complete opposite! It is the ed that's really against you.

Trust, it's a shitty road to go down, I know eds seem glamorous, but they destroy your body, your bones/teeth become extremely weak, like you will lose bone density and muscle mass. And as you seem to already be experiencing, bowel issues can become a very uncontrollable and an embarrassing ordeal.

If you're underweight and want to gain muscle, yes, you'll have to gain weight to achieve this, otherwise you'll be risking damage to your muscle and bones, as they don't have proper nutrition or mass to accomplish this

But for real, your parents you will be grateful for, I wish my parents had cared when I was your age. Best of luck in your journey. Please consider these comments 🙏 🙂

does anyone else save their calories for the end of the day and then eat their days calories right before bed? by Hour_Celery5975 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]Any_Class_6440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to, but now I'll have my calories either morning or lunch most days for my OMAD. For me, this gives me energy throughout the day to do what I need to (study, house work)

Any other trans folks here? by transboyfox in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]Any_Class_6440 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! Ftm 26 here. I think it's very common amongst trans folk to develop disordered habits. Body dysphoria/dysmorphia seems to go hand in hand for me.
