▷ ABOUT ME
Hello! My name is Kristen, I am 22 years old, from Sacramento CA, and I am graduating in the Spring with my BA in Psychology. I created this channel for three reasons that are very close to my heart. One, to help others be able to tell their stories and be advocates for mental health, to give recovery tips and tricks to help others find the help they need, and to spread awareness for mental health issues to fight the stigma surrounding it. The more we talk about mental illness the more normalized it will be in our society and the more people will not be ashamed to get help!

I hate everyone that's comparing it to 13RW, not only because it's an entirely different production team, but because Netflix didn't even make To The Bone! They bought it after the film was completed.
I also agree there should have been a trigger warning!!
Also people don't know that the lead actress, Lily Collins, also suffered from an eating disorder! They spoke to Anorexics Anonymous & the head of the LA clinic for eating disorders in preparation for the film.
I think so many people are jumping the gun with this movie. Not only is this about a woman with anorexia in treatment, but the group home she enters features a man with an ED, at least two POC and various body sizes. I think they made mistakes in using graphic content like focusing heavily on calories and the actress's thin appearance because those images violate NEDA's guidelines for covering EDs responsibly, but I think this film is going to serve as a great insight to what it is like to have an ED and why it is so important to recover. I have high hopes and wish people would stop making assumptions.
Great video showcasing both sides!
emmmabooks I believe it's because many people feel personally attacked.
I think there should be a trigger warning, but I'm kind of glad at the same time that all these movies are popping up lately talking about mental illness. these movies if done correctly, and not glamorize the illnesses will definitely bring awareness and open up conversations we need to have about these topics.
What do you think about this controversy? Are you going to watch this movie when it comes out? I would love to know your thoughts!!
LikeKristen I think it'll be a very helpful movie, personally.
LikeKristen I think it should have some type of warning and It should disclaim on how its not/is glamourising Anorexia. I myself Have Anorexia and havent watched the film but once i do i will judge it thoroughly since This disorder shouldnt be took lightly and shouldnt be glamourised making it a new "trend"
LikeKristen can u do a video about your opinion on 13 reasons why?
I'd watch it. I think it looks like a good movie based on the trailer. I think a lot of people are too quick to brand something as glamorizing mental illness and I think that doing that is a disservice to a lot of people with mental illness who want their voice to be heard through artistic expression.
I absolutely think it'll do more harm than good. If it were really trying to raise awareness, it would have featured a non-white, non-female protagonist, and she would be of a "healthy" or "normal" weight. The narrative we're seeing in To the Bone is already one we've seen many times in media, and rarely (if ever) done well.
Can you talk about your opinions on Netflix's 13 Reasons Why too?
Erica C !!!
Erica C YES plzzzz
Erica C That would be a great idea.
It seems like a very real and heartbreaking story. I am a bit afraid that it is going to be triggering for me though. Even watching the trailer I was brought back to some pretty hard memories (I have personally suffered from anorexia and am now in solid recovery). I am going to watch it though and I do have good expectations! Like you said, knowing that the cast and crew have had personal experiences with eating disorders makes me feel optimistic about it! It looks very well done. I just am going to have to make sure I practice self-care extra hard when I do! I will have to remind myself that my pain is in the past and it does not define who I am or where I am going
I think that things like this should be made. Right now, any mental illness is shown in a very poor light. I've heard people say very cruel things about this topic. People are very poorly informed about these problems, and there is rarely anyone there to help with the misconceptions. While I think that trigger warnings should be placed before any show or movie dealing with these topics, I think that they should still be made. It is one of the things that could make life better for those hiding their illnesses, and make them more comfortable with themselves. It could be what encourages someone to get help.
I just graduated with a BFA in Filmmaking so I wholeheartedly believe in giving others (and yourself) an outlet to share experiences. Netflix is also quite accessible, which I think is great. It's a difficult topic to depict, of course, but I think as long as they do it justice instead of turning it into a quirky little character flaw or romanticizing it, then it will be great! Does need a TW though for sure!
I stand in the grey area. Yes, it would have been a much more positive experience for viewers if the trigger warning was placed beforehand. Despite this, it brings up eating disorders into conversations, which is important. I am filled with hate when a serious issue exists in our world and is never discussed, mentioned, or recognized. Blessings from my heart are sent to those with eating disorders.
hi Mrs.Kristen! your videos have helped me a TON!! and i would like to take a moment to thank you for the work you put into this channel. i made it a month and a half clean before my first relapse two weeks ago, and your channel had a lot to do with the month and a half. i also had a question. is the rubber band alternative to self harm a good idea? thank you!
I don't think it's hurting anyone. I think that the movie will spread awareness
I just watched this movie a couple days ago, and I agree that there should have been a trigger warning. However, I think it was an accurate portrayal of eating disorders, and did raise awareness about the topic. It was actually really good and very powerful. I honestly cried so many times during this. It definitely wasn't glamorizing eating disorders, and I would recommend it.
Hey Kristen, of you have the time, could you make a video looking into Thirteen Reasons Why on Netflix? I, for one, think it's focusing to much on the act of suicide and not enough about the mental illness leading up to it. Plus, the book said that Hannah took pills, but the show made a graphic cutting scene where she dies on camera, probably for shock value. I don't know, I thought you might be the right person to give a review on it if anyone is thinking about seeing it.
honestly I think the people that are saying it's encouraging eating disorders should wait till the movie comes out before they say that, as from what the trailer shows its going to educate people about all the bad points and shoe people that EDs are nor just about "being skinny" I think it's going to educate soo many people and help people realise that recovering from an eating disorder is more than just eating something! I feel as though the movie will be more beneficial than destructive as it was written/produce by someone that has first hand experience! but hey I could be wrong and when I watch the film I could change my mind!
your eyeshadow looks great!
Hey Kristen!!!
Thank you for helping everybody that needs it, you are amazing, you've helped me through so many things that I needed help with. I would love if you replied, ILY!
-Amy
Thank you Cynthia! I am so happy that something that I said has helped you :)
It's good that they are making tv series about mental health and are spreading awareness about it. I'll watch the show but I think they should put a trigger warning before the episodes. Also it seems like the girl who are struggling is a young adult, not a teenager (if I read correctly). Its important to talk about this, EDs are not only limited to teenagers. There are a lof of young adults and adults (age to 20 from 40 even 50) that struggle with this.
I think this is going to end up like 13 Reasons Why. It is meant to do good but in the end people take it the wrong way and many many people are triggered, like myself.
Sophia M. Porter Fingers crossed.
I like it because I use it to not feel alone, but I think there should have been a trigger warning
My hope is that this movie will add in a positive way to the discussion of eating disorders. Assuming they approached the topic with sensitivity and care I think To the Bone may be added to the list of movies that do a great job to represent psychological disorders.
Love your eyeshadow work!!! ♥
one thing that bothers me about not only this movie but movies around eating disorders in general is that the sufferers are always depicted as extremely underweight. this bothers me because i know people (including myself) who have struggled with EDs and never get/got treated because they never reached that low of a bmi. it really sucks that medias always go to these stereotypes attached to eating disorders. the worst part of it is that it always seems to reinforce the voices that tell you that you're "not thin enough to have an eating disorder" or "not anorexic enough." i feel we need more representation in those areas to raise awareness for those who might go unnoticed in the eyes of treatment
I haven't even watched To the Bone fully but I use it to make me feel less alone and helpless
I agree with putting a trigger warning on it. I also think many other movies should’ve had trigger warnings on them also but I’m not going to get into that. I feel as though society can’t make up their mind. They want mental illness to be talked about but as soon as some sort of light is shed on it, they all join together saying it’s too much. This movie will probably be very hard to watch, even for those who do not struggle with an eating disorder. But there will be a message and a conversation following this movie and I’m sure many people will finally have the courage to speak out about their struggles and finally have a reference for family and friends which will be to go and watch the movie so they may further understand what is going on. I’m excited for this movie. Netflix, keep doing what you are doing, you’re slowly putting mental illness in the media and helping other understand and accept the challenges people face on a daily basis. Thanks ☺️
Hi, I'm really sorry this has nothing to do with this video but do have any advice for going out in public with very obvious self harm scars and feeling okay about it? My family wants the all of us to swimming but I'm so soo afraid to go outside in public with my all my self harm scars on my legs showing. I really want to find some way to be okay with it so I don't ruin the trip. Is there any way u can help?
my netflix is broken right now... help
I don't really want to compare this movie to 13RW; but after watching it, I am still a little bit hesitant to watch another Netflix exclusive thing about mental health because 13RW did a lot on me emotionally. I still think that I will watch it but I really want to wait and form my opinion on it after I see it. Trailers can be really deceiving and are edited to grasp peoples attention. Obviously that worked because people are talking about it. The scenes in the trailer will still be in the movie, but I am hoping that the dialog that goes with the visual will be done in a helpful way that brings light to what it is like to struggle with an eating disorder. Now that I know the director has struggled with an eating disorder I feel a lot better about this movie as a whole, knowing that there is personal insight
I have anorexia and personally quite like the look of the movie :)
I agree with both sides. I don't hate Netflix for having this show, and I think that it is incredible that they are doing this to raise awareness. But I do believe that it needs a trigger warning.
I think the movie will spread awareness for eating disorders. I would love to watch it actually so that I can understand why people starve themselves. Also so that I can try help people with eating disorders
i JUST came here from the trailer whats this psychic magic
I might watch the film just for the actors, however I was seriously triggered by the trailer and it caused me to do 4 hours of a dancing exercise in one night with no breaks because I saw the main character and it really triggered me. I am getting help, I'll be going to a unit in a couple weeks or earlier, and I really want to begin recovery...but like many others I think this will just cause more harm than good.
I agree 100 % also there are a lot of short films about eating disorders too! Guys like this video and get it trending maybe! People need to see this! Love ya Kristen!
I think it will probably be triggering but I want to watch it in a morbidly curious way. It will probably be informative for people who don't know anything about eatinig disorders and that's a good thing I think
Hey Kristen! Can you do a video on traveling with depression and suicidal thoughts? I want to know how to control it without my counselor.
(tw mentions of restriction/EDs)
I def think a TW was needed on the trailer, it seriously triggered me, thankfully not into a relapse, but I did not eat the rest of the day because of how anxious the trailer made me about food/reminding me how fat I was compared with my low weight/basic ED thoughts. (i have a recent history of OSFED Atypical Anorexia subtype)
I am worried about people with EDs using the movie to trigger themselves on purpose, but of course that really cannot be helped as long as there is any media at all about EDs, that will happen. I just hope they show it in a healing, recovery-oriented light, which it sounds like they're going to do.
I think it looks like they portray the illness well showing the struggle she's going through ect. Great statement from the director too. Their hearts are in the right place as to why to create this movie! I would say they are successful already since we are talking about it. I think it's hard sometimes to watch such a struggle if you struggle with mental illness too. I prob won't watch for this reason.
I don't know if you have or not but can you please make a video on types of abuse and its effects on a persons mental health
this was so damn interesting and I shall go and see the trailer and see what i think as i like to watch movies and things about mental health
I need therapy but my mom and my dad won't take me or better me any appointments my doctor has sales many times that I need to go I have anorexia and depression and on top of that I'm a self harmer I don't know what to do I have made a suiside attempt and I think that it will happen again please help me
I watched this movie it's actually really good and important and in the beginning of the movie it had a warning in the beginning
Can you please make a video about dysthymia
Hi, is there any way I can contact you directly ASAP?
you can always send me a DM on instagram! (link in my bio)
Its good to shed light on disorders but they shouldve put a trigger warning. But its still good to shed light on it so people will have courage to talk about it and to get help
I absolutely love your gap I think it makes you more iconic.
Now I wish they could do other eating disorders that aren't anorexia. Everyone knows more about that than bulimia.
I'll have to check out the trailer 😝
I think that we should watch the movie (the people that won't be triggered by it) before we judge Netflix and the directors.
I definitely think is a good step for talk and understanding but they should have put a trigger warning.
wow
Hi Kristen :) are you okay with doing a video about what mental hospitals are actually like? It's none of my business rather or not you've been to one, but since I've never been there, I'm not sure what it's actually like. People make up stories and I just want to know what's accurate
i think there should be a trigger warning, but i also think nowadays almost everything that shows eating disorder related things it is said to "glorify" eating disorders.
I just watched the trailer and I think it should have had a trigger warning but you can't judge it's portrayal of mental illness until you see the full movie looks interesting
The directors are taking this a lot better then 13rw did.
lilly collins, the main actress, has also battled with anorexia as well . . .
first comment! luv u kristen!!♡
♥ u kristen !
Have you seen 13 Reasons Why?
Let's NOT do this trigger warning sh*t. In real life, there are no trigger warnings... I would know I've been anorexic since I was seven.
Aaaand now my feed is filled with loads of triggering content. Thanks UA-cam algorithms 🙄
Im late but this movie made me want to have anorexia
I think there should be a trigger warning, but I'm kind of glad at the same time that all these movies are popping up lately talking about mental illness. these movies if done correctly, and not glamorize the illnesses will definitely bring awareness and open up conversations we need to have about these topics.
