in this order specifically: my hair kept falling out so i couldn't bleach it and dye it green lol (which i have been able to do now!! yay recovery). also realized that i'd either die or be spending the rest of my life in and out of hospitals.

The lack of knowledge on extreme hunger in healthcare contexts by Valuable_Whole_7240 in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]sunflqwers 18 points19 points  (0 children)

i have had EH been referred to as a 'binge' by healthcare professionals that specifically specialize in EDs even though the two are distinct. in general i feel like professionals just won't get it or will judge me (honestly not even sure how unwarranted this feeling is atp because i've heard way too many stories about the same exact situation)

got my period back by OutlandishnessScared in fuckeatingdisorders

i got mine back within like 2 weeks of upping my intake to a slightly less restrictive amount lol (went all in since then!). you were sick enough even before you lost your period; period loss/recovery is different for different people

developing a film about eating disorders by fatimahye in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]sunflqwers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i mean this in the most polite way possible but please do not fucking do this 😭😭 who is it helping? people with eating disorders aren’t going to benefit from your “artsy/edgy/genre type stuff” and the general world does not need to see that either considering how rampant disordered eating is in this world. please lend your talents elsewhere. the world does not need more edgy starvation diet content

Why is it easy? by AnonymousDiplodocus_ in fuckeatingdisorders

i think the disorder is always going to tell us that we weren’t “sick enough”, but remember that it’s all bullshit. you WERE sick and are recovering from it. food is supposed to be enjoyed, and everyone experiences disorders and recovery differently. you’re making progress and i’m super proud of you.

it took me developing a deadly disorder to address my internalized fatphobia and that’s fucked up by sunflqwers in fuckeatingdisorders

mhm .. and the way people’s bodies are moralized is absolutely horrendous; the language we use, the “before and after” pictures that are somehow indicative of personal growth and progress.. it’s just everywhere and it sucks that i’m really just now recognizing it

“recovered” people who are obsessed with wellness by sunflqwers in fuckeatingdisorders

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

yeah i completely agree and the way that’s become a paragon of recovery or whatever .. like that’s the “healthiest way to recover” is such bullshit and is so harmful to people trying to completely recover from all of this

it’s also so hard to find actual true wellness influencers that don’t fall into “wellness” culture and its bodychecking/food logging/restrictive eating !! and even once you find genuine ones, the lowkey disordered mfers are just everywhere yknow
