terrible vid honestly... not just the poor depiction but... its GOOD to post helpline phone numbers.... and then to hold up "hold fast" pro propaganda at the end?  how the hell is that helping?

[safetypinned]

hold fast not meaning, don't eat. Hold fast meaning, "You can beat this"

@realitytweeter Hi! girl.Marie here.I thought i was the only one to had gone through the hell you have.Wish i had a magic wand to cast a spell so you could forget it ever happend.Sorry & sad that life had you experence such a tramatic event.Wish it never happend to anyone.Still dealing with the fallout on that one.Life totaly sucks when you know no one can undo the harm done.A broken life like a broken mirror,you can try to put it back together but it can never be whole again.Surviving. Huggs.

Hi! Marie here.You are too pretty to be sad but i understand.I am also gulty of doing what you do.Eat very little always watching my weight.When it goes down i am happy but when it goes up because i ate a little i get very depressed & redouble my efforts not to eat .I eat to live but barely.I am now 5"7 140 lbs trying to keep my weight at around 135lbs.Live mostly on pills instead of real food.Still asking why i am still here,why i exist.When i know the answer it maybe too late anyway.Goodluck.

@TheStrawberryNinja I agree. Anorexia crept in for a decade after I was raped & physically/verbally/emotionall­y abused by my first (& only) boyfriend. I also have a controlling (but loving) mother & I used anorexia to cope with our relationship at the time. Anorexia changed me. I'm still trying to figure out who I am without it, & everyday I fight like hell to not go back. It's so easy to go back. I'm learning to cope in healthier ways, but I still slip. All the best to you. May you heal.

@TheStrawberryNinja (PART 3 of 3, didn't think it'd take three)

Keep your ignorance comments to yourself, you know nothing of what you speak. If I had the ability, I'd be HAPPY to give you my illness so you could enjoy the consequences of having "a few bones sticking out."

@papertreegun

And to the idiot you thinks people with anorexia starve themselves to look "beautiful?"It's quite the contrary. Most have been abused and wish to rid themselves of sexually attractive features. *sighs* Idiots

[TheStrawberryNinja]

@TheStrawberryNinja (PART 2 of 3) The primary causes of eating disorders like anorexia nervosa is rape, abuse and other types of serious trauma. Willpower?Someone who starves themselves because of anorexia nervosa is NOT showing willpower, they are SICK. You think we have a CHOICE? I -hate- this illness and would LOVE to be rid of it! You think we ENJOY hurting everyone we care about?! Being unable to even BATHE because you're too WEAK(I get sponge baths by my hospice staff, it's humiliating)

(PART 1 OF2)

You're an IDIOT. I have had anorexia nervosa for roughly 25 years and am terminally ill (ie. DYING). I have multi-organ failure, no teeth, my large intestine hangs outside my body, I've had tubes in every orifice, my digestive system no longer works so I am fed intravenously by a tube that goes straight into my heart, I'm on oxygen 24/7, I'm bedridden, in diapers, in constant and SEVERE pain and this isn't even half of what's wrong with me because of anorexia.
