  • Eating Disorders are a complusive behaviors used to cope with one's life. It take over your life, and you dont plan to "become a skeleton" or not. Anorexia and Bulimia have a specific diagnostic criteria, so you cant really consider someone "kind of anorexic" or "Kind of Bulimic". However, most people in America (and a few other countries) are considered to have poor self image and distorted eating behaviors

  • Well, as i explained in the video,eating disorders arent a choice, you cant decided to have one. its a "mental illness" and is clasifed as such in the DSM (diagnoisis stastic manuel). Other mental disorders that you could find in the DSM include:schizophrenia, delusional disorder,personality disorder and autism.All of the mental disorders ive listen above are developed through chemical imbalances in the brain. Someone cant choose to become Austic or Schizophrenic, just like eating disorders

  • @maiidofhorror i am anorexic and i just wanted to tell you this is one of the best awareness videos ive seen. others are usually off and just want to show scary pictures of skinny girls and guys. you showed the truth, the reasons why its developed and all the stats. there needs to be more people like you in this world who understand this disease and want to provide awareness, and even more so hope. <3

  • I was Anorexic (still recovering) because I got bullied, people Saying I was fat and ugly. They made me feel worthless, when really there was nothing wrong with my weight! I started self harming then about half a year later I stopped eating. Thankfully my mum helped me through it, and the worse is over.

    If you're anorexic, get help!! Great video btw xx

see all

  • i suffer from a eating disorder, there has been times when i hve wished my life would just end, but then there would be a little bit of hope.. but my hope got wiped away.. hiting me bck 2 my lowest stage yet! Its good 2 knw that there r people 2 help, who understand nd who can 'help' even if u dont want them to. This vid is a gr8t eye opener for those people who bully inocent beautiful grls nd boys no mater what shape or form. This is what they could drive someone to be like!
