This makes me so angry! At myself to, its like people think they are invinsible, where is your reality!!! That
girl who dies that you dont even know could have just as likely been one of us! We are all the same, fragile, like a flower. People need to start waking up, stop living your life with your head in the sand! Life is to frail for you to think that it could not be you in that coffin! That is what I have to think of everyday.
I always sort of feel like everybody puts too much emphasis on what is acceptable, what's popular and how significant or disposable someone else is. It's a shame.
Hopefully more people start realizing there's more to life than fitting some bullshit fucking guidelines, that never really made sense in the first place.
Anyways, this vid really shed some more perspective on what I've been feeling lately. Thanks and hope all is well Lauren!
Most people are self-centered or act like fucking robots. I used to love everything about life, all the possibilites and how anything seemed feasible. Now most of the time I just wish I was somewhere other than where I am, and think a lot of how much I can't stand listening to whoever is talking to me.
I sort of think it's more the direction of the way the world's heading, than anything else that gets me down. Most people just live to slave away and consume. What happened to TRUE LIFE?
yeah I get what you mean....like alot of times once people gain weight or like look better people shake it off and are like okay well whatever you're fine. But it's so much more....there have been girls who only purged three times and died on their fourth time....it's alot more serious than people presume. it's frustrating. good video...hope to hear from you soon <3
I have my first doctors appointment this morning and was about to back out, but watched this video again and its encouraged me to go! So thank you so much. xoxo
I'm sorry about your loss. I'm struggling with anorexia, and the thought of just killing myself has crossed my mind a couple of time, but I could never do that. I'm going to beat this and live a normal life eventually.
Easiest way, Figure out how many calories you'll need a day. Write out a planner of food for that amount throughout the day. Check it off as you go through with it (alarms on your cell phone help too) Just get yourself to eat it (even slowly) even if you don't want to. And good luck
It is so sad that it can come to that before people get help or want to help themselves. It's why I hate this disorder so much, it just comes along and takes our identities and personalities and eventually our lives and it's awful! It has no right and we need to take a stand and fight back. You're right, it HAS to stop. Much love and support to you and your room mate. xoxo
It's so real when you hear about this stuff. I thank you for putting this video out there, although I may not have known these people it still hits home when you talk about it. I don't suffer from ED but I am hoping to go on to train to work with people suffereing, once I have completed my undergraduate course. Stay strong and keep fighting.
It gets so much realer when your in recovery. You finally see the other side. In some way those deaths are like motivation for the press to recover. I feel so bad for the girl that had to suffer and her family. I just wish there was some kind or intervention so death could not be the result
very sorry. i understand how hard ED is and how hard losing people is. but i hope things get better for you soon. because you can beat this thing. and make it a part of your past.
i´m sorry sorry to hear about your friends friend. I also knew 3 girls from my program who have died in their sleep because of their eating disorder! We need to keep fighting so that this dosen´t happen to us!
that really sucks. im sorry to hear that someone else near your circle died :( there was a girl who went to my school before i did who died of anorexia, so her mom created an ed residential in the area since there werent any ones (aside from wings in regular hospitals). &she came to our school to talk, we support the charity.. thts the closest i hv, but on lj ive talked to a lot of people who were suicidal&done my best to talk them out of it.. but it still doesnt rly hit home for me :/
A girl I new at high school suffered from anorexia and took her mum's prozac and died.
And mt friend from my cycling team in high school hung herself and my training partner for triathlon (who was incidentally a guy) also hung himself. They where all amazing people who had so much to offer, one week they where here and then they where gone.
When you hear about people dying from the same thing you are struggling with, it hits so close to home and it hits so hard. It really makes you think. I have been thinking about recovery lately. I think recovery is survival. It is trying to stay alive and not let the eating disorder beat us. We got to keep fighting.
Thats awful about all those deaths =/ Its sad that we need stuff like that to happen to have a wake up call/reality check. its so sad. We just have to keep fighting with everything we got.
Jesus Lauren, I am so sorry to hear about your friends (or friend's friend). That is seriously tragic and so eye opening, because it can happen to people you know and no one is ever exempt from these situations.
I hope if anything positive can come from this it's that you know what fighting and becoming well can mean for your life and that it's something that should not be taken for granted.
My thoughts are with you every day and I miss you dearly. Please find a way to get in touch.
aw im sooo sorry! thats really sad, i hope your feeling much better!
