you are a very pretty and bright young woman. i do agree there is a horrible misconception that only people under 100 pounds can be considered to have ed. but that also means that no matter your size your body is undergoing the same strain and abuse. so even though you might be a tiny bit heavier than the 'average' anorexic/bulimic you are still just as sick. please seek help. beauty, happiness and control are WITHIN you, not outward. stay strong and god love you

Sorry i have had to post this as two messages because it went over the word count...... the rest of my message said,

thanks for being so brave to share and helping to spread the word that you dont have to be severely underweight and in hospital have an eating disorder. All eating disorders cause the same mental suffering no matter what your size! Hang on in there hun, you can beat this! xxx

You are amazing! so incredibly brave!

I have EDNOS as well, and i resonate completely with know the facts around starving and bingeing and metabolism etc (thanks to the sports dietician!) and feeling emotionally powerless to change it! i have faith that you can get better! I am in therapy etc to try and get ahold of the vortex that is EDNOS, message me i would love to share stories in the hope that we can support one another through the journey of recovery.

talk soon,

K.R

I really wish that people would stop posting their heights and weights in comments to videos like this. This can be triggering for individuals with eating disorders and, honestly, providing such information does nothing to enhance your comments!

i too have ednos, i completely needed this video. it means so much to me.

it says so much that you're strong enough to put your face out there and tell the struggle.

we don't choose to be like this, it's a part of who we are.

I'm so glad I've found someone talking about EDNOS. I suffer from EDNOS aswell and it bugs me that people don't take it as serious as anorexia nervosa. It is a real eating disorder and sufferers deserve help as much as someone with anorexia nervosa deserves help! Good video, hope you are ok x

I'm 14 (almost 15) 5'7, 115lbs and irregardless of the fact that I'm underweight, no one has ever noticed my problem

[whatdeyecallher]

I have ednos. Mines is basically just anorexia but I eat too much to have anorexia. What I hate is the fact that when my school tried to help my year head said to me "this is just the begining and we need to help you before it gets out of hand" Now tha may not sound awful but I've struggled with food 2 years prior to this (I developed it when I was 12) The most sickening thing for me personally is that people would see me and not be able to see that I have this problem...

[aaahhhhaaaahhhh]
