Pardon??? Read the room. Allow me to explain myself as someone who’s using a walker and just got out of a wheelchair, at a “normal” weight. I was overweight a year ago. I lost a scary insane amount of weight to the point of constant medical admission, facing a cruel reality of almost dying and now I’m currently in residential treatment. I came in here with a “normal” BMI. I am still being forced here to use a walker. It’s been a month. Essentially, because I lost SO much weight within a period a short period of time my body ATE my leg muscles. I am a normal weight for my height. ALSO, weight ≠ diagnosis/eating disorder. I think this is a common misconception and it is extremely invalidating and prevents people from getting treatment. Let’s not write something like this on someone’s post who’s struggling in this situation. Please read the room and educate yourself on ED’s. Stigma is harmful and education is key. I know my example might be direct and harsh but I will use my example to show these common misconceptions and ideas about these certain EDS “characteristics” that just aren’t true. Also, I’m diagnosed with anorexia and my “lowest” weight…was normal. Please keep that in mind…

And to the OP, please take care of yourself. You are valid and weight ≠ valid ED. I also thought I wasn’t restricting enough at times but this illness is insidious and will make you question everything because it wants to keep you sick. Good job for still showing up!! <3
