People like you who understand that EDs are not the same for everyone are why I am getting help finally. I'm an atypical purger, but it specifically stems from having OCD. I can't stop myself from drinking so much coffee that it affects my digestion and keeps my weight down since I struggle to move, thus struggling to exercise at all due to physical disability. I over eat sometimes, but don't binge. I didn't think I was a purger. I don't throw up. I'm actually phobic of sick. But out the other end counts, and using caffeine like I do is a laxative. I'm actively working on this. As I get help for my physical issues, I can counter the compulsion to down coffee like it's just water. My heart and kidneys are already doing better, and I am at half the amount of coffee I was drinking years ago. It's going to take time because it's also an addiction.
It seems wrong that true anorexia isn't diagnosed until the patient has done irreparable harm to their body. We wouldn't wait until someone's tooth has fallen out to determine if they have a cavity.
it likely is because these are invisible/misunderstood eds, and anotexia nervosa being one of the most commonly known and is very visible did not make the cut for the video
Why? It just means it doesn’t fit all the AN criteria. It is sad to me that AN is always put up on a pedestal, yet it’s the most deadly of all the mental illnesses…
Na yall are just making shit up at this point. What you actually have is what is called a “victim complex” It is developed by narcissists who realize that behaving as a victim allows them a small degree of power and attention on social media.
Imagine thinking you have more knowledge on this than somebody with a phd. Let alone an entire population of millions of scientists who have peer viewed this topic.
@@eli9187 *cringe arguments from authority that change nothing* Doesn’t matter if the space pope declares the sky is green. The sky is blue you silly billies Also “A population of millions of scientists who have peer reviewed this topic” is a blatant lie 😂😂 not only that but literally 90% of all psychology isn’t science at all but instead a “humanity” Humanities are academic disciplines that study aspects of human society and culture. It’s not based on observable facts or repeatable experiment but instead popular opinion and political ideology. She isn’t a scientist she is a degree holder and yall are the suckers who buy into the sell that you have some incurable disorder and you NEED to go to a licensed therapist NOW and pay them literally thousands because you have a super duper scary “disorder” label. Maybe instead…. Eat properly and exercise? You have free will. Use it.
