I am a recovering Anorexic/bulimic. And No, I don't think you are and "ass" or anything like that, it is normal for people to be curious.
We don't think that we are stronger then everyone else though. In fact, we know we are weak and we actually think that we are less than everyone else. Just thought you should know.
for some it isnt a choice. When you live in constant guilt and feel the need to be perfect for everybody and want to be happier, it is the one form of control you have: the body. You say you dont know anyone who has ever had an ED but just look at someone who is addicted to drugs or alcohol, or food even. it is like an addiction, a lifestyle, an unbreakable chain; and it will always be there
if you really want to understand anorexia more i suggest you have an open mind about it. instead of thinking, "OHMYGODTHAT'SSOWRONG!" you should put yourself in the mind of an ana. people go around complaining about their looks, but we're the only ones that would do something about it. look up some thinspo, aye? :]
yeah and the become so skiny that all of ur bones are pulled of ur body!
if u wanna be thin do whatever u want but dont say to people specialy teens to do that.its unhealthy and u can die!i dont wanna be rude its just because it pisses me off that there's actually people who agree with these "disease"
I dont quite have an ed as such but i know it would not be hard for it to take over my life. I have honestly struggled with weight and felt like there is no other choice I am addicted to pro ana sites to know i am not alone and need help the only thing that stops me is my daughter. I would hate to see her suffer because of me but I am so desperate that I would do almost anything. It is a constant mental battle.
Theres many Pro Ana & Anti Ana sites. I belong 2 a Pro Ana. If 1 wants 2 recover from ana 1 should find an Anti Ana site. Pro Anas get together 4 support through their lifes troubles. A lot of people have e/ds 4 different reasons. Its a place 2 b if u dont want 2 get help with ana. We'll be glad if the 1 wants 2 get help & 1 its a hard choice 2 make. 4 some its better but Its not 4 me. Pro ana will always b 4 me. I feel good when I listen 2 ana. There r many reasons y people chose pro ana.
alright, well i have an ED. so i thought in your video, i felt as if you were calling un stupid. but, since you're BEGGING me not to put this video down, i'll give you my "creative" thoughts. we do not have the "10 commandment" it's not like ana is a religion. we just are so careful what we put in ourselves. and we know what the consequinses are for our ED, but when we look in the mirror.. we look different apparently to what you see.
To be honest I dont think most EDed people actually deify "Ana" or "Mia." I think its more to make the ED seem less medical or dangerous in urown mind. Also, some ppl (like me) tend to talk to themselves or even 'argue'(come on like no one else does!) so naming the 'second voice' urging u to spew, u might personify it.
Also i do kno what i do, the storys terify me sometimes, but fear cant 'cure' u.
If u hav any questions or anything, Ill b happy to help=)
They know what there doing to there bodies Julie, they dont care! They dont care if they die of osteoporosis, they dont care about tooth decay, they dont care about broken blood vessels, bruising, heart attacks. They don't care, because there all striving for one thing in commen, and thats to be thin. The thinest, the most popular, the most beautiful in the room. They think its worth dying for.
It's speculated that some people are born with a predisposition to eating disorders. This does not mean a person with that predisposition will be disordered, just that their is a higher chance, like a child with alcoholic parents (as alcoholism is a passed on trait). That being said, it's my experience that EDs are not based as much on looks and thinness as the general public thinks. It is often a coverup for other problems, an escape route, a masochistic mannerism. It can be a lot of things.
I think anorexia and related ways of thinking are bad, the main reason being that they are damaging to the body.
However, one has to ask yourself, why are we automatically against eating disorders because they are damaging, while most sports also result in damage to the body (for example tennis elbow).
Somehow I am against bodydamage in order to change the way you look, but I am OK with bodydamage in the sportsworld, and I don't know how to justify that way of thinking... Can it be justified?
well, quite honestly the medical world along with the rest of the world pushes peoplesuch as myslef to look a certain way. for instance i am a singer. and despite the fact that i have a good voice i will never make it unless i am perfect looking. i am not rtying to insult u and ur opinion, but in all honesty u probably have no idea what people go throuh like i do, to try to satisfy and meet the standards that people set on physical appearance, nor do doctors unless they have been through it.
I suggest reviewing your entourage because they obviously don't want your happiness. I'm not quite sure who "people like you " are, but you seem to think you're in a special category of people. Society in general has pressure of looks and sex. I'll just say that you are your worst enemy. Are Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys, J.Lo, Alanis, Jessica Simpson, Fergie, Mariah Carey amongst many others stick thin? If you're not a good singer, nobody's gonna like you.
But you're not teaching me anything new and relevant here. You're just stating the obvious. We know how you think already. And anyways, if you have the mental illness yourself, you can't really be a reliable source.
I'd like to mention that a disordered individual might actually be a very reliable source. After all, who knows more about it than one who suffers from it? You can't look into a disorder from a rational standpoint and expect to understand the way it works. You can't ask about the nature of eating disorders and discredit the opinions of those who have them. That's like asking what it's like to be a redhead, then saying a redhead can't be a credible source of information. It's skewed logic.
pro ana isnt smthng that statistics can prove. its a way of life. a way of perfection. like me, for example. its because im fat. its disgusting to be fat. lard is imperfection, and eating shows that you dont have any self control.
Weird how saying her name actually sends en offensive comment towards her... Hmm sends a lot of information by itself if you want my opinion dear Friends.
But hey it doesn't tell the whole story either, for example, don't use my username to figure out info on me... you'll be sorely mistaken to do that lol :-P
