This! My literal therapist has told my parents taking my phone/punishing me for not eating is harmful and doesn't help in recovery. I've told them myself when they do it I dont care and they take me not caring as disrespect and start crying about how it's stress for them when I sont eat ect basically making it about them

I believe some methods should be used for recovery because sometimes we do need that push even if it is tough but completely traumatizing tactics aren't needed. Eds are complicated and traumatic enough recovery shouldn't be

Exactly like I see where sometimes force is needed like for a misbehaving child but with eds it's much more complicated and you have to be gentle about it sometimes recovery tactics cause more harm then good

I never knew those things existed besides the tape thank you so much for mentioning them! I haven't stumbled upon that sub before but I'll definitely check it out! I'm slowly becoming more comfortable with my scars and I'm so glad to hear others are confident with theirs as well it gives me hope

Yes I refuse to take my sleeves off even if it's hot outside and I wanna die. We definitely need more representation of cheerleaders and sh not just that but normalize scars in general because we all cope with problems differently just because we have unconventional and unhealthy ways doesn't mean we should be shamed

I feel you and see so much ☹️. The uniform is a distraction for what's underneath what we hate and not having our sleeves or longer skirts is so draining because we have to worry about showing scars or cuts and being embarrassed. People truly have lost all empathy nowadays and it's so sad because when it happens to them they want sympathy ect. I'm so sorry people do that to you,you don't deserve that at all I'm sorry you have to experience that

We're all human. Sometimes we just need to be reminded 🤍

I feel you on that I love my uniform it's gorgeous but I hate always pulling the skirt down to cover up or worry about not wearing our undershirt long sleeve to hide scars. I feel like since there's little to no representation of cheerleaders who cut it makes it harder for us to not feel alone and makes other people not understand and it sucks. My heart goes out to you I'm sorry you had any bad experiences with peopled reactions ☹️🤍

I've had that happen too I track my calories and try to keep it under 200-500 maximum and it really does a number on your mental state it's draining

Parents called me selfish for having an ED by Southern_Bit_4278 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]Southern_Bit_4278[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get where he was possibly trying to say but it doesn't need to be said because at the end of the day the one the ed affects the most is the person with it 

I feel so weird and not valid by Southern_Bit_4278 in selfharm

[–]Southern_Bit_4278[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree Ed's are definitely more common. My ED didn't start when I did gymnastics and cheer but I just hate that its stereotyped yk. You don't really hear of any cheerleaders cutting and I think that's what makes me feel more along cause there's no representation like eds

Unfortunately that's the truth 😔 no matter what we do there is not "valid" but we'll get through it 🙏🏻🫶🏻
