My sister went through an eating disorder and she had to go through lots and when my dad picked her up because she refused to go in the car she looked like a skeleton with human skin and she kept saying she was fat. It was so stressful to me as well I remember kicking the wall screaming and crying from all of that. I am happy to say it took a while but she is better now❤ Ps. To that person you said she was fat I feel that you don’t deserve to be here.
I have anorexia but when I'm now 65weight my goal is 70 but I eat sometimes snacks and candy's and started to go to gym to get some weight and Ian now 67 and I'm proud
i have a hourglass body shape and sometimes my friends say that if i eat too much junk food i’ll get fat when i’m older, sometimes i feel guilty about eating but not all the time, i’m afraid it might get worse but i don’t even know if it’s symptoms for eating disorders
Dear person whoever reads this, Hey, you, yes, I am talking right to you. I hope you will see yourself with the eyes I see you one day, because I can tell you have some awesome music taste :) You’re such a beautiful human being and worth and enough. I hope you know that you do only need yourself to be happy, I know society build up the standard that whenever you’re alone you’re not living a happy live. But in fact that is not true, if you start to realize that you actually deserve all the good things happening to you, you will treat yourself a lot nicer. I hope you let yourself rest, don’t beat yourself up over past mistakes, over regret, and over everything your mind wants to destroy you. I wish I could remove all those demons inside of your head because you deserve to feel happy. If you ever feel lonely then watch the sky, because you know, someone, at the same time is watching the sky too, maybe feeling the same way..I am glad you exist and I hope you won’t ever remove your own spot in this world, maybe you don’t feel like you belong here but, Angel, then build your home here. I don’t want you to leave this world unhappy. I want you to live every little second, I want you to feel alive, I don’t want you to see yourself just existing. You deserve it. Whatever happened, it’s not your fault, the demons in your head recognize that you have a beautiful heart, they want to take it because they have never seen such beautiful heart as yours, so why let them win over you? . You’re not selfish for isolating yourself, but you deserve to talk to someone. If you’re reading this than please never forget to breath and smile. Don’t live up to other standards! It’s your story and not theirs. Life for those who couldn’t, smile for those who forgot what a genuine smile is, love like there’s no other, hug like its your last one. I love you and send you hugs. You’re so strong, you’re still here, and I am proud of you. YOU ARE NOT USELESS. READ THAT AGAIN. YOU ARE WORTH IT. READ THAT AGAIN. YOU ARE LOVED. READ THAT AGAIN. I AM GLAD YOU EXIST. READ THAT AGAIN. YOU ARE NOT A PROBLEM. YOU ARE HUMAN AND YOUR FEELINGS ARE VALID. READ THAT AGAIN. YOU ARE NOT BEING DRAMATIC. You’re not a burden to anyone, don’t be afraid to talk, to use your voice. You’re beautiful inside out. Your body is beautiful the way it is. Please don’t starve yourself. Please eat, I know it’s hard but you deserve food. You deserve to eat and drink. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. READ THAT AGAIN. I WISH I COULD HUGH YOU RIGHT NOW, SO A VIRTUAL HUG WILL DO. It hurts me to see you’re in pain :( you deserve so much man, don’t let your emotions control you. Don’t let them get the best of you. I love u I love u I love u I love u I love u please don’t go. I am sorry that no one is hearing you, I am sorry no one is noticing that you have lost yourself. I wish I could take your pain away, it hurts me to see the pain in your eyes. I love you trough my words and I mean it. I just want you to stay, hold on a little longer okay? Please? For me.?? I hope you have an awesome day/ morning/ evening/ night. If it’s night for you, go to sleep, I know it’s hard to fall asleep right now but you deserve a good sleep. If you have nightmares, please, don’t let them fight you. If it’s day for you, don’t start it by such sad music, I know it’s impossible to have a good day with such mindset but take baby steps, start by drinking two cups of water in the morning and so on.. You will start building little healthy habits. If it’s evening for you, you’re probably overwhelmed and stressed, I want you to know it’s okay to feel the way you feel. You don’t need to be scared, of course you’re overwhelmed or stressed, I mean who wouldn’t? But it’s important to know that when you feel that way you should do a little self care, such as taking a bath for example? You deserve to feel at ease and relaxed. And if you are somewhere in between I hope you know that you’re stronger than you think, I know you will make it :) Now wipe those tears away and smile for me, you really don’t know much a smile can brighten someone’s day, do you? I hope one day yours will become a genuine one where you don’t need to fake it anymore, because I can’t say this enough, you deserve a good smile and to feel alive. You’re worth more than every fucking cent in this world. Remember crying is not weakness, let it out as much as you can but don’t let the emotion control you by giving up. It’s okay, you’re here, you’re safe, you can let it out. Did anyone asked you, how you are feeling today? If not, how are you really? I don’t think you’re doing good, but you will feel good at one point. Don’t give yourself up. I am sorry you feel misunderstood. But anyone who gets to be with you, doesn’t know how fucking lucky he/ she/ they is :). Enough with beating up yourself for today, okay?! - The stranger that cares about you more than anything. I hope this is enough for you to stay today, tomorrow will be a new day, a new start, let go now. I hope you can stay. This is your sign to stay and treat yourself with love, you deserve it. And in case no one told you today, again, I am so proud of you. I hope you will remember my words :) Until tomorrow, my friend :)
@@yuripiIIed So anorexia is a cycle of eating and non eating, and I was curious if a diagnosis has like a required duration for each to be considered anorexia
I'll cure your anorexia, you feel the need to lower your weight? Ask a doctor for a review gor your ideal weight, then eat or exercise to reach that weight, then maintain it as much as you can, with healthy eating and exercise. ❤
If they can get people to believe that....they can get em to believe anything. How any interviewer could keep a straight face everytime she claimed she was anorexic is beyond me.
@@fsokh0 It’s not good to be this underweight and if you have this wish, please search for help. Underweight causes so much long term health issues, you don’t want that, trust me.
@@aklmnop_offical Underweight is not one specific number. Underweight is a low ratio from body height to body weight. This is what we call the bmi. Under a bmi of 18.5 you’re underweight and what you have is seriously underweight. Even if you’re not down 50kg you can still be underweight and it’s still unhealthy.
Well, if you're anorexic but NOT underweight, it simply means you just started being anorexic OR you're not "effectively" anorexic, meaning: you still are eating enough to NOT lose weight. Remember, the whole point of why someone would become anorexic is to LOSE weight. It's not a mental disorder for the sake of it. The goal is WEIGHT LOSS.
@barefootbandit941 Nothing in my comment above says that anorexia is a "weight disorder," however, the GOAL of anorexia IS weight control. And when you're really in the throes of it, you become severely underweight. If you're not underweight but you're anorexic, either you're newly anorexic or not effectively anorexic. Anorexia becomes a problem when you become UNDERWEIGHT. Clinical definition from the Mayo Clinic website says that anorexia is "characterized by an abnormally low body weight, an intense fear of gaining weight and a distorted perception of weight." Maintaining a normal weight with anorexia clearly is not the cause for concern. It's when you start becoming underweight.
Wow, saying "not effectively anorexic" is really a punch in the gut. Imagine someone is overweight and develops anorexia. Yes, an overweight person with an anorexic MIND and behaviors. Them will it take a while to become underweight, but their body suffers as much. Just do a simple blood test and it will become a concern. But even if the person would maintain their weight, they still could be anorexic. Anorexia is indeed a mental disorder, so if your disordered behavior is doing the job or not shouldn't matter. Imagine you're stuck in a binge cycle, and they WILL happen, so of course you're weight won't go all way down, because surprise, these disordered eating patterns were never "effective". Many anorexics who managed to lose a lot of weight did it through high restriction and THAT'S more effective and doesn't trigger binging. And yes, you're gonna get diagnosed only if you're underweight, but the criteria is very much ridiculous for the reasons I mentioned and that's why atypical anorexia is a thing. It's about your disordered thoughts, obsessions and fears, which cause disordered behaviors, so focusing on what you can see, and not as much what's really happening behind the scenes, is just not the way to go.
@somebodyyoumayknow2280 Disordered eating and disordered thinking patterns when it comes to anorexia don't matter in the long run IF you continue to stay overweight or normal weight. Anorexia is about losing weight EXCESSIVELY. The medical system doesn't really treat things you CAN'T see. They only treat stuff when it actually starts to physically manifest in the body or if you literally can't function in life and work or do normal activities of daily living. Sure, there's "talk therapy" or you can unnecessarily take meds and let pharmaceutical companies profit off your misery. That's a personal choice. "Atypical anorexia" can easily apply to any overweight person dieting to lose weight and is just an extra unnecessary term to complicate a condition that's very straightforward. Anorexia is simply food restriction gone too far with the goal of weight loss but becomes excessive unhealthy weight loss. And honestly, it's silly to call someone "atypically anorexic" when they continue to stay overweight long term.
@@morselsofgold Yes, medical system does treat things you can't see. That's why I mentioned doing a simple blood test. Also in every anorexia recovery you NEED a psychologist, because anorexia will impact your quality of life through disordered thinking patterns and fears no matter if you're underweight. And no, atypical anorexia is very much real. Just because you don't fit in a small box of criterias doesn't make your condition any less real. Remember, not long ago period loss was once one of the criterias, which is even more ridiculous. And no, not every anorexia case is a "weight loss gone to far" scenario. People end up ill because of various reasons and some starve themselves instantly instead of going through healthy weight loss.
I'd like to add that anorexia isn't always about weight
Edit: My uncle was anorexic because he was made to feel ashamed of how much he ate. He felt he didn't deserve the food, it wasn't about weight
