I’m not going to reply to anyone directly because I am so fucking angry right now at some of the things I’ve read whilst catching up on this thread, but if you seriously think that EDs are something ‘every teenage girl has’ or that issues regarding EDs are specific to a certain body type then you’re completely naïve and ignorant and desperately need to go and educate yourself before speaking on the matter again. What has been said was highly offensive, inconsiderate and outright idiotic.
One of my best friends died in March, she killed herself because of the torment she went through in her own mind every single day due to her ED. She suffered for years, and her family had to bury her at 21 years old because of it. Due to COVID, they were the only ones able to go to her funeral. EDs aren’t a trend, they aren’t something to be taken lightly, and the triggers certainly affect people of ALL sizes, not just overweight people. I’ve read some fucked up stuff on here before but I never thought I’d read anything as outrageous as that.
