EDs have no size, gender, color, anything. they can appear in all different forms. restrictive EDs aren't the only ones. women aren't the only people to develop ED's. no matter who you are, you're valid <33
EDIT: yes, this is a repost from november. i just went back to reread some of my stuff to encourage myself after going through a bit of a difficult time the past few days. so i decided to just repost the whole thing. sending love to everybody <33

I know this probably doesn't mean much cause I'm a random stranger, but I'm proud of you. It's quite an incredible achievement and it's amazing that you've made it as far as you have. You are a remarkable human being and you have worth.

my queen, my friend, i love you so much and im so proud of you! screw anyone who is ignorant enough to make you feel like you shouldn't be proud of this accomplishment because you are a magnificent human and i hope that you never forget that. Also i think my shovel is still in your garage... can i maybe have it back? for... umm... personal reasons?
Paisley Blue

Re: I'm glad you shared it anyway! As writing and speech is a human's way of expression, this is a very fitting place to share your experiences, since it's throw writing (in your case poetry) anyway!
I think one cure to these mental health issues (it's considered mental health right?) is simply talking it out and sharing it, and again, I'm so proud of you for your recovery!

re: ohhhh okay, I thought it was a specific eating disorder. Thank you for answering my question!!!
Huba Huba
Oh my lord, I'm sorry you went through this, but I'm proud of you for your recovery though! And yes, beauty is a subjective thing, so why do people have such strict beauty standards?

I feel really stupid for asking this, but what does ED stand for? Is it an eating disorder like anorexia? No matter what it is, this poem is really powerful, and I'm grabbing my shovel too. :)

just eoching ness.... wow. you did it. and i am sorry you went thru this, but now you can write about it and help others. what a marvelous turn of events. and yeah. as for this poem... i certainly don't have a serious ed at all, but sometimes i find mself wondering if i should have a second helping or eat a snack. i look down at my stomach and wonder if it will get bigger and bigger. and then i'm like who am i kidding i live for food, so then that's all cleared up. anyway. thank you for this. and so so so glad you are feeling better. lots of love! <3<3<3
