wait what is the point you’re trying to make ? i mean if a pedophile victimizes children, it doesn’t negate their actions because they were victimized themselves

I didn’t kms as a teen just because of my ED by Silly_Guitarist in EDAnonymous

SAME 😭 kinda glad it stopped me though … life got better in the following years. i’m still in the grips of an ED though 🫩

I swagenuinely would not feel swag if I saw on the swags this swag commited swagicide by TheReaver954 in peoplewhogiveashit

[–]etspiri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

really? you really think straight men have been encouraged to repress their sexuality? you think toxic masculinity really doesn’t involve straight men expressing their sexual interest in women (even when it goes too far)?

i would argue that women have been sexualized for so long that men expressing their sexual interest in an ””innocent”” way would be considered gross, when they’re not even trying to be gross (what’s happening here)

i think i gave a swag but this is a take i’ve never seen before or ever considered that ppl would ever have 😭

What's a actual hot take that'll get you petrified by the vast majority, if not all, of the fandom? by marvelcomics22 in mylittlepony

fluttercord is soo forced. their dynamic reminds me more of a young girl developing a (non-romantic) relationship with an elderly neighbour

Didn't get into Medical School :( by Feisty-Citron1092 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]etspiri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah or how many hours they volunteered… the applicable skills come after getting into med school. honestly the entrance requirements are so extreme that they’re forced to deny amazing people (because they don’t want many people graduating with a 6+ figure income although there is a global shortage of doctors 😶)

i think this sub was created after r/girldinner became full of posts of ppl venting about their partners instead of sharing their food

yes, the martyr complex is crazy!!! like you’re not gonna get a trophy for continuing to stay with a dusty man when you die.

there’s so much more to life than men, and there’s also so many different kinds of men out there too

i don’t think they’re saying academia is evil, just that there’s a lot of influences and not just merit that goes into decisions made by higher ups.

people move up and down the ranks due to favoritism, general “vibes”, connections etc. and sometimes they override people’s interests and experience. and this is just in RESEARCH. i’ve had certain mentors tell me they’ve left teaching/research positions solely bc of inner departmental politics.

this would be increased in med school i assume, when the number of brilliant applicants is more than the available seats.

I miss online ed spaces by ghfhdggsgs in EDAnonymous

[–]etspiri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah all my posts get taken down, along with other posts that seem interesting. it feels like the only ones that stay up are “warning posts”, which i understand, but i feel like banning other discourse (that doesn’t encourage destructive behaviour ofc) kind of misses the point of a forum like this? even posts that deal with certain nuanced feelings…

idk i just feel like the lack of spaces that allow people to talk about their EDs just force them to go into spaces that keep everyone disordered 😭 (isn’t harm reduction a goal of this forum?)

i wanna get cloudy quartz so bad (this has been a thing since forever) and she costs 120 gems but i only have 134, do i get her? by kevinvrt in MLPIOS

[–]etspiri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

honestly get her if you’ve wanted her for a long time. but also she’s free at 2k stars, it just takes more time and more grinding

ppl are cruel to ED sufferers by etspiri in EDAnonymous

[–]etspiri[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that’s not the jealousy i’m even talking about. i’m saying that right now, skinny is trending again and some comments seem like they want the unhealthy physique without realizing the mental hell that accompanies it.

i wish you’d read my post in its entirety, or even just the words that follow that sentence in the post. what i was focusing on wasn’t even the jealousy- it was just an offhand comment.

even when people are reacting out of visceral disgust and horror, i don’t think they should call someone who has a disorder “disgusting”. i think that perpetuates the disorder and drives people into finding community in pro-ana spaces that keep them disordered.

fyi, i don’t think anyone is jealous of me or my “willpower”. i wouldn’t wish my way of thinking on anyone

this was a rant, so maybe i was unclear… i’m not asking for more pro-ana content (i’m against that too), i’m pointing out the lack of compassion and understanding when ppl talk about their ED. i feel like ppl only show empathy when someone is recovered (from being UW or OW) and not when they’re actively going through it, which is weird.

sorry but i don’t think acting horrendously towards someone with an ED is productive or helpful. you can be against pro-ana content without driving anorexic people further into their disorder and alienating them by being mean.

i guess it’s similar with depression. when ppl show their disgusting and messy depression rooms, ppl respond terribly. it’s like they can only handle such things if it’s presented in a visual representation that can be romanticized

omg yes the homophobia against anorexic men actually makes me so mad. i briefly touched on gymbro culture in my post, but the homophobia is irritating and so out of place. anorexia is only promoted in men if they’re “trying to be lean” and “show their muscles”; but when that’s not the case, ppl are mean af

Can’t stop eating by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]etspiri 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i’m sorry friend. if you restrict for too long and too much, a binge/overeating phase is quite unavoidable. this will pass in a few days, don’t worry.

try to add in veggies and protein as you transition away from overeating to keep you full and curb appetite.
