My Thoughts On ED Culture

okay so lemme start off by saying, I hate ED culture. I hate how we as a society have romanticized it and make it this glamorous thing. In TV shows we watch, influencers we follow, and what we see online, there are these girls who are heavily pushing it and there are whole communities surround it. 

ED culture has been making a huuuge come back as of recently and its deeply sickening. Whenever I see an ED blog on tumblr or something I typically block them but there's always an internal struggle. Perhaps you've added me because your'e trying to recover and this is your first step in realizing that theres beauty outside of being underweight. I went through a small phase last year where I went between self starvation and binging. I'm recovered now and I'm healthy and I'm in a better place. It's really hard having society tell you that your own body isn't valid if you don't fit a certain mold. It's highly triggering seeing people that benefit from that kind of media and reblogging/posting stuff about how disgusting they feel after they gained a pound. 

It's very hard to keep people in my immediate circle who are like "I feel so fat, i js ate all this food." I'm trying to put my well being first. Maybe you want a change of pace and are trying to recover but its very hard when youre posting stuff relating to that. 

We are all responsible for the way we talk about our mental illness and the way it hurts others. 

Anyways I just needed to get that off my chest.
