@Meggthemermaid: Exactly! Shock-value media sensationalism did not deter people from coming to ProAna sites; it did the exact opposite. In recent years, we've seen more people trying to join who seek "tips" & glorify the "anorexic chic" mentality which has become so pervasive in our culture. It became imperative to re-evaluate our focus; to deter those who come for negative reasons & take a proactive stance against the Wanarexic Phenomenon. I totally support your idea btw! <3
I just realized that my previous reply to your comment, so you likely didn't see it. Thank you so much for your kind comment! I am honored that you think so highly of this video! Be well, sweet spirit! <3
Thank you SO much for all your feedback! I do think that recovery is possible for some -- 25-40% DO recover fully! The problem is that 60 - 75% of us do not, and what should we do if we cannot break free? My mission is providing an approach for those not helped with traditional recovery methodology. Much love to you, and Good Journey!
I think your movement and your way of verbalizing what it is that you are trying to get across are spectacular. I only wish you the best! & I, too, send hugs if they are wanted! xo J'adore toi
can tame itself to accept and be comfortable with all thoughts and processes co-occurring within itself. I say this just from personal belief. Have I experienced this phenomenon in it's entirety? Certainly not! I just want to pipe in for the hope that I will one day be in a space where I can re-enter a place of spiritual connection, hope, and more stable and at ease control of my own thoughts. Thought control. Genius!
Very true about the intimidation factor that somethingfishy has. It is true that I was able to acquire a list of treatment centers that I then narrowed down ... to find the two that I ultimately chose to give (legitimately) of myself, and my spirit. I am someone who comes from a place of yes (pre-bethenny), and I do want to say that I believe that recovery in it's entirety is possible. *BUT WAIT* I do want to address that I believe that the mind in itself can change in such a way that it
You address some very important points that really should be heavily considered by others. I have witnessed what she speaks of and it is very sad to know that this is how ppl with ED's are treated. In regards to wanna's, it is sickening that it is a trend now. Anorexia Nevosa kills. That is the brutal truth. Being anorexic is a very lonely and depressing illness and the support of such forums like Project Shapeshift become in essence life for people that suffer from anorexia.
Naaaawwww! Thank you so much for posting such a sweet, supportive comment! *shy*
I hope to reach others who have had similarly disappointing experiences with traditional therapeutic modalities and recovery. I am sorry you were kicked out of SF. So many of us have been alienated by sites like this. Truly, it is an unfortunate and all-too-common occurrence. Time for a new approach!
okay babe i gottta say youve definately came a long way in getting your point across straight. your older vids were very ..tangenty ..wandering thoughts. i love this one though .its like your a spokewomen ..well you are a spokeswomen for the ed community as a whole.im very impressed and i love your seemingly new found confidence and focus . btw i hayte something fishy with a passion they kicked my ass out so many times when i was just starting this shyt
I am so glad you are at PS, and so happy you like this video! I feel the same. This is a critical issue; one which has never properly been addressed. I hope I will reach people with this video! I have attempted to address this subject before, but they always turned into a loquacious diatribe lasting in excess of 30 minutes! YAY for CONCISE POINT-GETTING-ACROSS-NESS! ^_^
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for this! This is so, so important!
Having access to a place where I can be eating disordered without judgement has kept me sane on many occasions. I can't imagine what I would do without this valuable resource! I think that all of us who are involved in this "movement" of living WITH our disorders need to take this on board. I don't want to be sick, and I don't want to encourage others to become sick. I just want to LIVE!
