tw// eating disorders
I don't normally talk about this but I kind of wanted to address it because I know it doesn't just happen to a few people.. during the time I was at my worst (regarding my ED), people would tell me that I 'looked amazing' and that I 'looked really healthy' when that was anything but the case. I wasn't eating and if I did eat anything it wouldn't stay down.
Telling someone they look good just because they lost weight isn't always a kind thing to say. In fact, people telling me that made my mental health and, by extension, my ED worse. I thought that if I looked good to other people then I would be happy. That was not by any means the case and I ended up being far more unhappy because of it.
The worst part is that it still affects me now. Every time I eat I feel guilty and sick. I feel like I'm going to throw up and if I'm over a certain weight I try to lose weight until I'm below it.
Eating disorders aren't beautiful. They shouldn't be romanticized. It's not something to show off or make fun of/ joke about. They aren't easy to recover from and if you do recover, it's easy to fall back into them. That said, never shame someone for having an ED. That can make it worse as well.
Basically, go by the rule 'if they didn't choose it when getting ready for the day, don't comment on it' (which is kind of a mouthful but whatever). People chose their hair, makeup, clothes, etc. Not their bodies. I hope that makes sense lol but yeah..
i would 100% do that if i werent so lazy...
Do you agree with this? I should try this and see how different I look 0_0
sometimes i look at the people my age and realize that even though i may be an annoying piece of shit, i could be way worse than i am...

It’s so weird hearing an argument for having in-person classes is that “some kids don’t learn well online”, as if the system isn’t garbage at managing students with learning disabilities even when classes are in-person????
