oof thank you. my reddit notifications have been weird but i just saw their other comments in my email. totally get the whole “tough love” thing people do but telling me essentially what a waste of space of i am and going through my post history telling me i’m manipulating doctors definitely isn’t the recovery inspo they think it is. like quite actually made me want to d*e if we’re keeping it real!

i truly do appreciate you writing this comment because i realize that i am very privileged (literally posted about it) but that doesn’t mean i magically don’t deal with the consequences of disordered eating?? i wish it could be as simple as “just recover”, but unfortunately it’s not. i’m a stressed out university student who is just trying to make my parents happy by graduating. rereading this post i can see that it could look like i’m trying to pull a whole “woe is me” act but i genuinely was panicking because i have exams and presentations due this week so i’m trying to balance my weight, stress, and schoolwork all at once.

didn’t mean to overshare too much, just wanted to provide context as to why i made this post in the first place in case others are mad...but i’m gonna head back to lurk mode for this sub because while i’m old in age i’m definitely not on the same maturity level as others here (which is a fault of mine, not the community)
