God knows. I am also recovered from a long term eating disorder. I do not consider myself qualified to dish out advice
i'm not yet receivers, but i think it says a hell of a lot that neither of us deem ourselves experts on eating disorder recovery, and certainly wouldn't hand out generalised arbitrary advice on a huge public platform when it could be so
bleeping dangerous. not only is Alex very obviously
not in recovery from her eating disorder, she doesn't seem to acknowledge the fact that the illness and the recovery process is different for each individual sufferer. advising people to engage in exercise to help them cope when they are struggling with their body image is totally irresponsible, and could place some of her followers at serious risk. it's exactly the same as her recently talking in great depth about anti-depressants and withdrawal, with details. of dosage and naming the exact medications she was taking - she absolutely does not have the qualifications to be talking about meds and withdrawal to a vulnerable audience, many of whom likely do take medication for their mental health. regardless of her own experience, she isn't an expert on anything related to mental illness and especially when she's quite clearly in the midst of a relapse, she clearly doesn't have the ability to think rationally about what she's posting - or she wouldn't be filling her grid with triggering low weight photos - so it's appalling she is even attempting to hand out advice, knowing damn well that sharing what may have helped
her could easily be harmful to others.
