Love this thank you for speaking out and being vulnerable and brave. Helpful to hear from someone that’s relatable.., you’re not alone in this perspective and I, like you, wish more people would speak out like this. Anyways, thank you!❤️🙏🏼
One time, I was about to go to residential treatment and I was B/P all dya everyday, spending thousands in a matter of 3-4 months just for binges. I told a "friend" and he told me "well, you won't have to stay there for long cause you are not that skinny" ...Now the irony is that I was at my lowest at the time and it was quite very low, with heart issues startint to pop out and I could have died at any point considering my potassium levels were constantly around 1,5-2 and my blood pressure at 7... But yet all he thought about is that they were people skinnier than me and for him not having to spend time in hospital is a good thing... But all I heard is "you are not valid, you are too big". Fortunately my reasons helped me and I knew I was in a life and death situation anyway and that my behaviours and mental health were the issues, not the shape of my body. So no matter how sick you can be, people are always going to think you are not sick enough unless you are skin and bones (which is also an issue, just a different one).
I am so sorry you went through this. I really really hope you are doing okay ❤️ but this is a perfect example of what I was talking about. it’s so sad that people do not think eating disorders are valid unless you are skin and bones. it’s a mental disorder with physical effects and I wish people could understand that. just know your disorder is valid and I really hope you are okay ❤️
