Please Eat (Animatic) - Nicole Dollanganger 【RiA】 

If you're reading this. This is your reminder to please eat and feed yourself its very important I love all of you stay safe.❤

This song, it scares me. its like the only time I can hear the sound of my common sense fighting over the yelling of my Eating disorder.

This is a really good representation. I feel like male anorexia isn't explored enough or represented enough. I feel the same way about child anorexia as well so thank you for this!

The brutal paradox of loving someone who is self-destructive is that the person that you love and the one hurting the person you love are the same person. And you can't fight the disease without hurting the host. And you feel so god damned helpless. I've made my friends feel like that sometimes when I self-neglect. And I'm sorry.

Im a male, and for a long time i suffer from anorexia. One day my gf send me this and I just cried myself.

I remember for the first couple of months that Depression had hit on me, I would starve myself for no reason. I would always not want to go to school either- I would even barley eat school lunch. I still do starve myself today but some days I eat so much I feel fat and am ashamed. But once I've done it more- I've become to notice that I should do it more and not make myself suffer. I'm still alive to this day and I'm glad. Thank you for making this video as well. It just reminds me that there are other people suffering out there that are worth helping. Instead of sitting there, This Animatic makes me want to jump up and help so many people out there. No matter what stands in my way. Thank you.

As someone who’s been restricting an insane amount lately, this hit a place I did NOT expect it to, I literally just started crying… job VERY well done

I heard this song years ago and it suddenly popped into my head. Currently I'm starving. A few minutes ago I was at that point where it feel like your stomach is twisting inwards and shrinking. Now I'm numb. Edit: I forgot to mention, I don't have anorexia I just struggle to eat.

Absolutely beautiful.

This Is What I Live For

ahh i know her, i know her song called "ugly". she has a real nice voice .o.

This whole animation was perfect! It really depicted Anorexia so well. Good job! Lots of love❤️

I'm crying so much rn I suffer from anorexia nervosa and I see myself on that, myself and my boyfriend, he's worried about me but I can't see myself on recovery, I feel like I deserve to starve to death, I feel like I'm not skinny enough, this is hell

A year ago I starved myself it’s not worth it at all for those who think they need to change there body by starving there selves I would like To know why.

As a 13 Year old Trans female this song really made me sad and one of my new friends told me about nicole and I really thank her for that In July-October when my bmi was as low as 11 I really should of known this song, It would help me, Because my mind was gone, It was hard and tiring to walk and my whole life revolved about how skeletal I was and calories, But I was ‘Never skinny enough’ I almost died In September due to my anorexia getting so bad and I looked like an actual skeleton, (30.5-31.5kg 161cm) And people were laughing at me and Some people were shocked about how skinny I was. But on September 26, My mom told me She would take me to hospital her self if a carried on like this, so then I started binging EVERY DAY for 6 Months and I really fucking hated my life and often wanted to die because of my extremely low self esteem. Now I am 60-70kg and I really hate my body, But I am Sadly ‘Happily’ Out of my binging phase and I am in control and can finally start starving and not binging again. In December 2019 I was 27-28kg at almost 150cm and i Had to be TUBE FED, Which was so mentally and kinda physically painful, And i wanred to throw up in the toilet, But they locked it for 1 Hour after I had each fortisip. Then I was in a mental hospital for 3-4 Months, It was the HARDEST TIME OF MY LIFE. And some of the other children there were very nice. So please if you can, DO NOT STARVE YOURSELF. It is very dangerous and you can even DIE. And the hospital was so fucking painful No matter who you are or what you look like, YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING AND PRETTY, Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise ❤️ And I have a transphobic dad who doesn’t accept me as a girl sadly, And he makes my life harder

I’m pretty sure I heard that at some point of starvation your body starts to eat itself for food it’s been denied. I never had a starving problem myself. Food is so yummy I can’t resist the flavor of it for too long. My problem is that food is too yummy it’s hard to resist. Yet remembering that my body will eat itself before completely starving is scarier to know. The lengths bodies will go to hang in there is impressive and scary. I really hope everyone with an eating disorder gets help and recovers. This animation is so cute and the song so sad but I can’t help but listen to it sometimes now that I found it.

I like this video. I like this song, and the art that goes with it. I myself am a masculine aligned nonbinary individual and I have ARFID, and this song is vague enough that I have something to relate to, as well as your characterization. Well done.

1:05 Welp Thanos snapped his fingers once again Ok i'll stop with the dead memes TwT

I’m proud of you for waking up. I’m proud of you for brushing your hair. I’m proud of you for breathing. I’m proud of you for making your bed. I’m proud of you for eating. I’m proud of you for TRYING to eat. I’m proud of you for drinking water. I’m proud of you for being here. I’m proud of you for being you. I’m proud of you for smiling. I’m proud of you for continuing on even when things are difficult for you. I’m proud of you for standing up. I’m proud of you for blinking. I’m proud of you for getting out of bed after spending the whole day in bed. I’m proud of you for brushing your teeth. I’m proud of you for standing up. I’m proud of you for sitting down. I’m proud of you for defending yourself. I’m proud of you for believing in yourself. I’m proud of you for simply trying. I’m proud of you for being alive. IM PROUD OF YOU. ♥ Not my words Im just passing this around! :) From a stranger on the internet to anybody reading this,I AM SO PROUD OF YOU Don't give up ❤

Aah coming back to relive the trauma that this song gave me when I was 11....idk why

Ah damn, you are so underrated! You deserve more views, subs and likes!💗

This is so close to my heart I’ve had a major eating disorder since I was 7/8 and I’m nearly 16 I’m still struggling and I just feel acknowledged through this video, thank you xx

That was beautiful 💜 What a great job on the visuals!!!

Thank you. I starved my self but I might start eating today

This is beautiful

I have this and still trying to fight it..

Still love this

wonderful!

To all the girls and boys and non-binary beauties that see this your are amazing, beautiful, cared about and loved. You may hear this A LOT, but think about it, the reason so many people say this is because the amount of people that don’t believe it, and starve, just because of someone they saw on a magazine or in school or anywhere. Well guess what, you’ll never be like them, you’ll be better than them. You are your own person and if everyone is the same, no one can find you. So stand out, be yourself. Yes, people well judge, people will bully, people will hate, but that’s because they are afraid of the amount of courage you have to be yourself, and that is the strongest thing you can will in this world. The power of being yourself. We only live once, so don’t waste your time being someone else, be you. Stand out so people can find you, and you can help them be themselves too. I say this for others, and I should be saying this to myself too, and I will. Thank you for reading and just remember you are loved.

You know, i always wanted comfort and hated hurt. But then I learned comfort comes after hurting. And now every time I want to feel comforted, I know I have to be hurt first. And the more I hurt the more comfort I will receive. And sometimes there is quite pain inside me that is not obvious to those around me, who could provide comfort. So to make it obvious for them I hurt myself. And the more I hurt the more comfort I gain later. So it gets addictive

This April 2024 I’ve told one of my closest Aunt that I trust Dearly. That I’ve been Dealing with Anxiety issues & Anorexia since I was a young kid & Teenager. I also have a Disability called Cerebral Palsy.

Sorry for my English. 2 years ago i watched how my younger sister daying becouse she didnt want to eat. It was terrible pain for me, my family. No metter what i talked she didnt understand what happening with her and still starved yourself. God saved her and she s still with me, i m thankful. Hallelujah! But i just want to say every one of you who doesnt want to eat - please eat. You' re hurting us. We want you here. God bless you all my dearest.

I thought this might have been for anorexia and I wanna inform people that anorexia is NOT just you dont like eating myself and many others love eating but sometimes we dont enjoy the food or the interest is lost in it and all sorts of things! Yes anorexia is sometimes "I need to be skinny and perfect" but other times its "yes I like food but I lost interest in it". *TAKE IT FROM ME DONT START STARVING YOURSELF CAUSE ONCE YOU START YOU DONT WANNA STOP!*

I watched this back when I was younger, I didn’t really understand it but sometimes back then I would starve myself every school day and eat after I get back home because I was scared of getting a stomach ache in school. I became skinnier but I was still normal weight. Years later, I started doing that again 2023, stopped, then started to starve myself for another reason, orthorexia. I’m getting better but it’s still suck to me, I haven’t told anybody yet but I will soon to my therapist tomorrow

I'm obese and it's mainly due to a hormonal disorder and bad genetics. I usually end up eating once a day, I'll feel hungry and just keep putting it off and then I realize it's dinner time and I eat then it's too late in the day to eat anything else. I'm aware of it, but I didn't realize until recently that I was chewing gum to make myself less nauseous when I'm hungry during the day so I'm able to put it off longer. I see and hear people making jokes about overweight people needing to put down forks. It’s dehumanizing to have my struggles be simplified to such a stupid notion that weight is only caused one way. I've always eaten less than my siblings who are nowhere near my weight. It's so frustrating and I just want to scream.

This animation is so beautiful!! It means a lot to me and many others. You're amazing and tysm

My best friend just sent thus to me saying, "Me and Victor (your boyfriend ) at you"....im touched but i dont want to eat at all until i have to👋😑

This song makes me realize that I need to eat more bcs some days I go without eating

Over six years ago my boyfriend at the time sent this to me in an attempt to stop me from being anorexic. I started to not eat as much lately and went through a breakup and the fact this song showed up is sweetly strange.

i have a friend named isabelle and i swear she has anorexia she refuses to eat and never feels hungry and she passed out a couple of days ago because she didnt eat for three days and i almost cry listening to this

this thrilled me .. great job

Song and animation made my eyes widen in horror of realization...

Incredible

Honestly? I did cry

Nostalgia

This is SO perfect, oh my God. OMG! 🤍

I first saw this song in a movie abt girls in recovery (forced) 😢

A year later. I'm here trying not to cry 😪

RU-vid's hitting personal now. 😅 But seriously, I wish it was as simple as just *choosing* to eat. With ARFID, I never know for sure if my body will reject the food. I'm at the point where I'm seriously considering getting a feeding tube implanted, but that comes with its own problems.

TAKE MY SUBS, TAKE THEM

This is a beautiful animation

i used to love chips and french fries i used to.

I suffer from eating disorder since I was 13 and now I'm almost 20 :(

My friend sent this to me a few days ago. She's had the same ED as.me but she's older and is trying to explain the long time health affects. I dont know. I want to care but I can't bring myself to

U start to realise how sick u r when this song inspires u too starve urself even more

I dont want to eat I afraid but my doctors and my parents say I need to eat but They dont understand Im afraid to eat so I cant do..

So...at my school I NEVER eat my lunch...niether at home I eat...this made my day 😁

IS THAT OILVER?

I’m only 80 pounds but I feel fat-

reminds me of creepypasta animations i used to watch when i was 9

having the other person male, disgusting

I can feel this😞 sorry mom

This is beautiful
