Exactly! Perfectly described. Self abuse is Anorexia Nervosa. I experienced it. At the typical age of 15yo. When I had this mental disease, Karen Carpenter wasn't on the map. It took her death from Anorexia to open our eyes in America and with ignorant medical care professionals! My mom took me to the doctor after I wasn't having regular periods. This doctor didn't know or have a clue what was wrong but knew that I was malnourished. He just told my mom, "Your daughter needs to gain weight." That was all he said.

i went through the exact same experience a couple of months ago... i went to visit my family doctor and tried to express my concern for my health because i am underweight, do not consume anywhere near enough food, and need help. my doctor brushed over the topic... she told me i was malnourished and needed to eat more in order to gain weight as if we were both not already aware that was the case. i was honestly shocked when that was all she had to say and i still struggle to feed my body whenever i am feeling really low (which is almost every day)

i’m glad she’s open about this now. i used to be so obsessed with her, wanting to look like her so bad. Not saying my experience of anorexia is her fault but her profile and many other definitely contributed to it. When i was trying to heal i made myself unfollow her and anyone who if i saw their photo if i thought “i want to look like that” 👆 unfollow.

She definitely had an impact on me for sure. Our culture and lack of support is the main reason we did it

I was an athlete. I trained 8 to 12 hours a day. It wasn't like I was not trying to eat. But I was more into my athleticism than being concerned about my body. And most people had no idea. Because I had so much muscle at the time. I suffered in so many different ways for doing that to my body. It is abuse. I know it has a lot to do with why I have such difficulty with my condition today. And why it started so early. I was disabled at 27 years old. From being a professional athlete to disability.

I actually force myself to throw up the food that I eat when I run or workout, I don't even need to put my finger down my throat; I can just do it naturally. my friends say that I have anorexia, but after I'm done working out I go right back to eating; and I eat a lot.

@millimiliem1849 Месяц назад

Maybe it’s Bulimia? Or atypical anorexia?

@rosscardenas6636 Месяц назад

@@millimiliem1849 no, it's convenience. I perform best after I throw up, afterwards I can go back to eating mcdonald's.

People with binge disorder (which is an eating disorder) have no problem eating. Your need to throw up after a fun is a purge. You may have binge/purge disorder. How much do you eat after/before your run?
