There is an awareness that needs to be raised about eating disorders. This
book might help many people, not only the sufferers but their relatives and
friends as well:

The nurse in the pink is looking at the Shelly girl like she’s nuts hah
The staff seems fake.
Why does the world rear it’s ugly head !! All the perfect person will one
day be old , slow and gray. Everything is a choice, but there are also
legitimate issues that make people to fat, to skinny, lose their hair, lose
their teeth etc..Last time I checked everyone was bones and blood inside.
People are so mean! All you people making fun of too fat people or too
skinny people, You’ll one day be on the receiving end of getting your
feelings hurt! Make sure you return to post your apologies!
she starves herself and makes herself sick. Her body might look ok but she
had a mental problem definitely. I think its awful that the staff are all
obese though, binge/overeating is a mental issue too but it sets such a bad
example for the anorexic girls
The American health system’s really fucked up, especially with mental
health. These girls know that when the insurance runs out they wont get
help any more. Especially the younger ones. If they knew they would keep
getting help til they recovered they would be a lot more motivated. The
home’s like prison, all the staff are obese which makes the girls distorted
body image even worse, making them believe if they gain weight they will
look huge too.

mine is, but I’m small
men also get eating disorders they are just less recognized so shut it the
woman s..t
If you had ED, you need to see a Psychiatrist pronto because ED is a
made-up disease or Psychosomatic illness, it’s all in your head that you
conjured up.This disease bullies women because women let it permeate their
lives.MOST men don’t have this due to a HEALTHY view of how food operates
in our lives, when we’re hungry we eat…done and end of story.Most of us
never count calories even before we take a bite of whatever kind of food
because we KNOW that’s unhealthy…..
you’re quite right that eating disorders are mental illness, though oddly,
that assertion contradicts your diatribe about “getting a life.” it seems
you’re under the impression that eating disorders are fabricated worries
about weight that have spiraled out of control because the sufferer has
nothing else to occupy his or her mind. you couldn’t be more wrong. i hope
sincerely that you will take the time to reevaluate your logic; while i
don’t expect your compassion, i can’t abide your ignorance.
God help all anorexic people. No one deserves this.
Exactly. Marilyn Monroe is far from “plus size” (these days people think
that phrase is synonymous to obesity), but she isn’t exactly slim. She was
quite hourglass shaped though, and that’s her build. And I’m cringing if a
30-inch waist is considered slim these days…..: And you’re so right,
anorexia has nothing to do with boys, “the media”, or any of this other
bull people like to throw around. It goes MUCH deeper than that.
i wish i was thin but not that thin
Have you tried to seek help, hun? The first step to recovery is realizing
and accepting that you have a problem, and that’s amazing that you’ve
already done that, so congrats! Now the next step is to get some help. I
wish you luck!
wow…bashing staff on the smoke porch is one thing…but other residents?
lady, do you now understand that there are women in there who can be/have
been suicidal? one comment can push someone over the edge. ive worked in
mental health and thats just wrong. you dont talk down about other
residentgs
men also get eating disorders they are just less recognized and what do
mean get a life? yes eating disorders are mentally related but dude what
the hell ??
Polly died a few years ago.
What song was that called when she was dancing? It was beautiful, and made
me feel more positive about my eating disorder
Would of been cool to tell me it was in a different language…
sad that their friends didn’t want to stay by their sides to support them
through their hardships
i can relate so much to them.
As a bulimic girl I sympathise with this but what I don’t understand is
people making ‘poetry’ out of eating disorders, B&W depressing photos with
profound phrases about depression etc, glamourising their disorder. It’s
not glamourous, it’s messy and horrible, we shouldn’t be making it look
glamourous to those who might be impressionable and easily sucked into
something like an ED.
I am currently trying seeking treatment after 5 years of episodic
binging/purging and after seeing this, it really put my feelings into
perspective. My therapist often asks me about how I feel and what I think
about what I am doing and I seem to never have the words to describe it. I
sought treatment because I was about to lose everything that is important
to me: my bf of four years, my friends, my family relationships, and
career. I truly believe that the best decision I made was to come clean
about it. No one really understands the situation but I know that I have to
battle this on my own. I have support but I do not expect people to really
understand how it feels. After 7 months of therapy I have recovered
significantly. I think its important to stay as strong as possible and face
your fears. The last line of the documentary hit me the most: another 5
years of living like this? No way!
No one will take an eating disorder seriously unless you are severally
underweight. And if you’re fat people will encourage the eating disorder,
even doctors, as long as you’re loosing weight. No one else cares how much
its hurting me, so why should I?
Is it just me or does Anneloes smile look forced ..?
idk why but i see so much sadness from Anneloes eyes when her mother says
that she’s “getting better”
It’s so scary.. as if i am the person in the video. For all of the people
who never coped with eating disorders.. you should know that all of them
have identic thoughts…. totally the same.. as what i think.. i do have a
eating disorder too… and it’s the worst thing ever
I am a Christian women, 32years old I have a husband and 3 children, I have
struggled with eating disorders my whole life and I believe that the only
cure is God, when we turn to him he can break us free from any addiction. I
encourage anyone suffering from addictions to turn to God. xx
Day dream non stop of wonderful things happening to me on achieving
magnificent things. My problem has been going better not normal eating yet
the problem is the pushing the fear it was so good when i guy entered my
life even my HPV was ok to me then his addiction his controlling judging
preaching and just telling me i dont love among other things lke his awful
past destroyed me i am trying to get myself together i met a guy a very
normal loving but i feel so much fear I denied what I feel for him cause it
is too fast to feel that i dont want to hurt him I dont want him to tell me
i am the best thing it happen to me but I will walk away. I cant seem to
get out to anywhere in company of people my age. I dont want to I dont want
to make real friends only online I live a beautiful world in my mind loose
myself in music dont want to stop dancing because when i dance i feel
powerful and negative thoughts are gone not even thinking about a thing but
dancing got my tendons fucked i am so scare indeed lonely I want to live
work enjoy life dance but not just to avoid my real life … when do these
feelings will end? i hope soon 🙂
I don’t think it’s always invisible… I’m bulimic and I binge and purge
all the time, but I do it well enough that I’ve gotten down to 90lbs from
135
haha its in dutch and i didn’t evrn know that ednos is called aos in dutch
I’ve lived nearly all my life with BED or bulimia, the only time people
showed concern was when I was losing weight, now that I’m gaining it again
nobody seems to see a problem. I’ve always had low self esteem and have
openly judged my body with disgust, I feel like they just see this as a
norm for me. I wish they were more concerned about me binging rather than
dieting cause that’s the main issue. I need support but I’m not going to
bother anyone with my problems.
its weird how much i can relate to this. they explain the feelings so well
I’m sure she wants to help, but people with eating disorders feel like they
have a lack of control over their own life. It’s all about her mother’s
point of view in this interview, not hers. That really concerns me.
Sandra’s parents seem terrible indeed.
I’m not sure why, but I feel like Anneloes’ mother is part of what caused
the problem 🙁
She’s seems enmeshed with Anneloes, stifling her freedom of expression but
she also cares about Anneloes and wants to help. Sandra’s parents never
recognised her bulimia as a problem. I imagine they must be so self centred
to ignore her pain, feelings and illness.
dutch
its netherlands
i HATE how she said “you REALLY think there are calories in water?” & she’s
meant to be a doctor in the ED field yet she spoke to her like she was talk
to an idiot?! as a doctor in the ED field you would KNOW not to do that.
hahaha its funny how i just a had sip of water and said to myself I would
hate this world if water had calories.
wow , never had of that.
