I was fed like i was out a concentration camp on holiday & on my back there . I remember dont want to eat more than i felt needed .Still being forced to eat more... Refusing , crying . Still being forced to eat. I was not allowed to live the table till i had finished it all .
Same here, dealt all my life with bulimia, anorexia, orthorexia and binge eating. Doing a lot better now but I feel like one never totally recovers from ED's, the anxiety about food still lurks on the back of my head. Ketovore and Carnivore have been great help though
Hun ,what is the condition you mentioned in your comment orthorexia .plz 🙂or how did this present or manifest itself in your case ? Hope you don't mind me asking yes I can Google but I was already watching video.
@@olderuglierandwiser no probs, orthorexia is when you only eat "healthy" foods
My mum had mental health problems most of her life.
Food was a big part of that for her, bullying because she was overweight as a child. Possible abuse from boys at school and from quack faith healers.
My granddad had "black market" contacts during the second world war and made sure my mum and nan had everything they could possibly want in terms of luxuries and particularly food.
My mum was on and off diets most of her life.
Up until 2-3 years ago, she still saw herself as fat even though she had become very skinny and frail.
She does have a lot of lose skin from having lost weight but when you hugged her you could feel bones.
She used food as a comforer for me and my sisters and particularly with me.
Then with my own mental health problems starting very early in life food became my main comforter for me.
It was so easy as a child to use food.
I dabbled with alcohol and drugs but food was always the proper comforter.
It still is even though its caused early onset diabetes, by my late 20's early 30's i think.
Morbidly obese, arthritis in my knees and crippling depression, loneliness and anxiety.
I love that Marian McGavran says how emotions should be taught in schools.
Ive thought this for such a long time.
Thank you for uploading
Thank you for your consistently thoughtful and supportive comments, sharing your experience with everyone here. Wishing you the best, -P
@@BorderlinerNotes thank you
ARFID has been a thing for me since I was a baby. Too stressed out by the experience of living in my ND body since day 1.
Wish my mother had just chosen not to breed..
It's such a sad thought, and im so sorry that is how you feel. I agree for myself.
It's so sad for me to know my parents loved me and wanted me so much, but i don't want myself at all.
Best wishes for you
Certain behaviors, like viruses, contain the machinery required to recreate themselves in others via repeated exposure. Genetics can be a factor in how easily these behaviors take root, the same way genetics plays a role in how easily you catch a cold.
