‼️‼️‼️TIGGER WARNING‼️‼️‼️Talks about Anarexia . Scroll if you're sensitive to this ‼️‼️
So I just read something and I have an opinion, It is Surprisingly controversial. I won't get to much into it but it was about Anorexia. I was expecting the comments to be different than they were. Many people were asking for tips and tricks. Many people were giving them out. Many people were telling others how to visualize "Ana" saying no to food and such. People were encouraging others to join and stuff.
Essentially, people were being toxic. Encouraging eating disorders and even helping thoes who are "starting". I understand everyone needs a place to vent and say they're peice and that's okay, I'm all for that. But helping and Encouraging others to do a life altering thi g is NOT girlypop. It's NOT cute. It's NOT slay. And I'm sorry if this hurts, but it will NOT make you pretty.
Anorexia is dangerous and life-altering. People can develope literal fur, not hair, fur, on their bodies because of it. Some loose their teeth because puking and acids slowly harms your teeth. It can make you loose the strength to walk or do anything and it can even harm your organs. Not to mention, most importantly, it KILLS you. So no, it's not fun.
The people in that comment section was saying it was fun and I think that that creates a harmful space. Imagine the little kids who are bei g exposed. Thats not helping out fellow girlie's, were helping kill them. That's helping harm them. That's putting a bad image into minds. If you have it and think it's fun, I'm sorry for you. I wish you a happy recovery. But helping others have it is the OPPOSITE of being a girls girl. It's just another way of self harm. And I mean it when I said it doesn't make you pretty. It makes you sickly. And sickness, is not pretty.
It disappointed me to read thoes because I though we were all here to help eachother. As someone in recovery, it never makes you happy. It never will. It will take from you though. Things you didn't know could be lost. I assumed most the people were in their early or mid teens. I know when I was that age I thought having depression and suicidal thoughts was cool. I thought it made me...well idk. But it didn't. Neither did having an eating disorder. Please don't start this, it isn't fun. Thoes people are not mentally well.
If there were adults, shame on you. Shame on you for enabling this self harm. Shame on you for helping other do harm themselves. Shame on you for encouraging it. Imagine how many women in recovery were set back by that. Or how many younger people are now Influenced. That comment section is harmful and surprising.
Anyways that's my peice, I'm sure not many people will read this and plus, my opinion doesn't really matter, but it bothered me so yeah. And if you feel offended or called out, you're apart of the problem.
