Eating Disorder Awareness

[mycatrocks08]

Im Jenn and I have an eating disorder. My goal is to meet and help others with eating disorders and provide information to those studying the disorders. If you have anorexia, bulimia, any type of ednos, or are addicted to exercise...you are not alone. Sometimes having someone to relate to is a coping technique. If this catches anyone's interest check out my videos. I am not a trained professional, just another human being caught in the vicious cycle of an eating disorder.

2nd post of comment... Because... My life would be so much worse without an ed it's how I cope with all of my problems.

[laughingmonkey2011]

Ok I have an Ed and there is so much Mistakes in this. The only reason can't be a diet, this disease takes so much self control that if it's just a diet you wont last. Plus the media is such a little part, usually it's depression or the low feeling of self worth which can be attributed to several things. Then actually getting that skinny, it's hard to see because all we see is fat, because at the point thoughts are so distorted. I have this and I know all of this info yet I can't stop. Because

@laughingmonkey2011 i have an ed also and you are 100 percent correct

[Katieluvsmilk15]

wow this is kinda inaccurate. people dont starve JUST to look like a model or celeb. there has to be or had to hav been some fucked up shit going on. eating disorders are deeply emotional. digging into it, its less about weight than anything else

[elibeth121]

@Katieluvsmilk15 some do.

[jenniffir]

ok. don't be another statistic? your a statistics by NOT having an eating disorder! if you were to have one you would just change sides.

[falalaxfearless]

wow... this is a sad video. :[ cant believe people go this far to be skinny. i mean, they can diet to shed off a few excess pounds, but enough to see your BONES? thats depressing.

nicole richie looks the worst

[TillWearsATire]

I agree.

[BlackMetalQueen666]

These women ARE beautiful

[TillWearsATire]

No. They're freakin anorexic what the hell?!

I don't think you know the danger in turning Anorexic.

You could die. Instantly.

[AnonymouslyRainbows]

XD you cannot die instantly from anorexia, it takes time, and not everyone dies from it, there are ways, and 9/10 most anorexics are fully aware of what they are doing to there bodies, but it's worth it. It may seem crazy to you, but that's how it is for most.

[TillWearsATire]

Chyeaah but you still die in the end if it continuess! =D

[AnonymouslyRainbows]

Not always, but if it does happen it's worth it.

[amongsttrees]

In fairness, you do have a point, but most, if not all anorexics, do not die instantly. A good percentage of the cases go undiagnosed, and untreated long enough for it to claim the lives of anoretics. The obviously afflicted skeletal anoretics (those that haven't been photoshoped) don't start to look like that for a while...

You're heart's in the right place, though :)

[TillWearsATire]

Yeaah but in the end it's POOF! Sometimes I wonder how those legs carry the body..

[amongsttrees]

They really don't all that well.  It is so debilitating first and foremost before it becomes deadly. Not only do you lose the interest in going out and doing much of anything, you lose the physical ability in the long run.

Honestly, most deaths from eating disorders do happen without forewarning. It's normally the heart that, without attention, betrays you first. That could feel like a POOF! moment, I suppose.

[elibeth121]

@amongsttrees and some after a month it can claim a victim, R.I.P. Cassy Miller July 17th.

[punkinL908]

do u have a eating disorder??>...

[TrueHatred1980]

Photoshop is used everywhere. Diet magazines especially. It creates unrealistically thin expectations. KathrynKurt is right but it is used soooo much today....the meaning of beauty is becoming more and more distorted and it is affecting everybody regardless on whether they have an eating disorder or not.

[Strawberryluver14]

i hate how all of the skinny people in my school make me want to practically starve myself so i weigh about 20lbs less. but if i did then i would probably die.

[NekojinAmako]

This is a very good video, it just lacked the music, that's all it needed to make it a little more effective...I'm doing an anorexia slideshow myself...Well, posting it finally lol

[KathrynKurt]

moe than half of these photos are photoshopped. so i blame photoshop for this shit.

[AnonymouslyRainbows]

People have had eating disorders before the computers were invented, try another thing to blaim it on.

[punkinL908]

t.v and magazines also have these pics ya dumb ass

[AnonymouslyRainbows]

What I meant was before t.v and magazines people have had eating disorders, it's not that new, it just wasn't as common back then. But whatever.

[BeautifulRepublic]

i liked it regardless.

[mimmiejs]

some of the photo's aren't real..

[granolafights]

I agree, it would be much better and more effective with music. Good video, though

[jjjjaaaannnneeee]

give it some music...
