stop... why can't i control how much i eat I JUST WANT TO ⭐VE PLEASE IM SO STUPID
the moment an eating disorder isn't restrictive or doesn't "compensate" for behaviours that could lead to weight gain, nobody gives a shit. and it's exhausting.
as someone with binge eating disorder, i'm tired of being dismissed, humiliated, and ridiculed by everyone.
i've had psychiatrists tell me that my eating disorder isn't real and that i just 'have no self control'.
i've had anorexics call me a disgusting pig and use my mental illness as something to laugh at.
i've had bulimics say similarly horrible things, which is hypocritical given their disorder involves binging as well, but when i pointed that out they told me that 'at least they do something about it.'
binge eating disorder is horrible to live with. at the very least we could be given some respect.
tw: eating disorder mention (not abt me)
i feel like we dont talk about binge eating disorder enough. a lot of people talk about anorexia, a decent amount of people talk about bulimia, but ive barely heard people talk about bunge eating disorder. it's a very serious disorder, just as serious as anorexia and bulimia, yet it doesn't get as much recognition as it should. i find that odd.
anorexics i am so serious get out of the binge eating disorder tags. they barely exist as it is.
i am looking for posts about binge ed so i can feel less alone with this isolating disorder i do not need to hear about how you ate half a piece of gum and a diet soda today.
i miss the days when eating three tubs of ben & jerry's was an aspiration rather than an incentive to jump off the roof
