A lot of people with ocd, depression, eating disorder's have unique thought patterns which have similarities (perfectionism, creativity, low self esteem, control). Many of these people can achieve a lot in a short period of time but are also likely to quit, withdraw. Interesting...
I have all of the below and I can attest that those people are high achievers and while sky seems to be the limit, they are in fact their own limitations...
Such a shame there is still such a stigma attached to MEN having eating disorders! Thank you for this upload! Now, perhaps, more men will share their stories and inspire others to do the same. 👍👍👍
It’s a shame people don’t realise how EDs aren’t just about being skinny. When you feel your life is out of control it’s so easy to catch yourself controlling other parts of your life such as eating and exercising and it’s a hard hole to get out of. Respect to anyone who has managed to recover and those who havnt, I’m sure it will come soon enough. Stay strong guys and girls !! ❤️
There's a deep hurt in his eyes. And having children under those circumstances. God poor babies. I have mental issues as well also and always wonder what negative outcome will it have on my children. Makes me sad.
Can we stop shaming men for having eating disorders ,depression and being a rape victim cause people do that Also if you have any problems in your life just remember suicide is never an option that will bring happiness so just remember someone will love you💕
Mental and emotional disorders tend to morph from one to the next unless there is support and intervention. Adam really needs a community to support him and tools to delve into why? Therapy, OA, a Men’s group, somewhere he can be totally honest while being non judgmentally supported. Dr. Cynthia is amazing. Understanding and acknowledgement goes miles towards healing.
"Whatever it was that made you discover that restricting made you feel better, that's the hook." Powerfully on-point and helps one empathize with all people with eating disorders. This is a statement that makes me really introspective....I have been having trouble around food and appetite for years, and those years all held depression and anxiety beyond compare. Eating disorders aren't just something teen girls have, I'm 58.
This man is my ED doppelgänger. Every explanation he gives for what goes through his mind, his triggers, his massively larger worry for his child than for himself... boom. Twins. 💁🏽♀️ Even that we no longer look the stereotypical part. It's still very much there and distraction distraction distraction. He's got OCD and depression, anxiety -same. All of my diagnoses fall perfectly under ASD and the first question that ran through my mind was, "Is he autistic and doesn't know it?". Spidey senses are ablaze.
How come AN ED only refers to skinny ppl or are ppl saying fat people are just dam greedy pigs? Surely obesity is an ED … My mate is 18stone, Im 7 stone at 5’7” .. how is it ok for them to say to me how skinny I am bla bla but nobody’s allowed to call my mate fat and tell her what damage she too is doing to herself ?!??????
I know you wrote this a long time ago, so hopefully you have learned more since then. Please know that this is a brain illness, people aren't choosing this because they have the luxury of time, or privilege. It isn't like that at all. People die from this every day. Try to think of it like any other physical illness.

I really hope he wins these fights and lives happily with his children and wife.

I found this documentary really interesting and informative. I appreciate seeing people who do not fit the stereotypical mold of anorexia.
Thank you for addressing this, spreading awareness and showing his story. This video is truthful and I appreciate it. God bless!❤

i totally understand his struggle im not (sick) thin so noone takes my bulimia serious but the illness is real and my demons are loud
Suka banget nonton begini, banyak memberikan pelajaran hidup. Laki2 juga manusia stop stigma mereka harus tangguh dll 😌
Wish him all the very best
i believe in this, i’m in the same state of mind
Sometimes I feel like life isn’t worth living anymore
Has it gotten better now?
@@lifeofalma1177Why are you looking at eating disorders in men?
@@RagingBull721Cause I feel it gives you more perspective to learn about different things :)
The sore hips and back are the worsstttt
Such a big bowl of kiwifruit lol my mouth is tingling looking at it 😆😛

Excellent point! Both sides are using food to abuse themselves (or you might say: exhibit their suffering… both ideas are true).
SSRIs are life destroying, not "wonderful".
And now he's fat? 🙄
First world problems ... yawn
who said? Even third worlders experience this
you're swine -- it'd be different if you had an invisible disorder, huh? narcissistic waste of life.
