hot fact of the day: eating disorders are physically painful
and this is a sincere fuck you to everyone who doesn’t take people with eds seriously when they can’t do the same things as healthy people.
sometimes you can’t make it to class on time because you can’t get up the stairs fast enough. or you can’t get assignments in on time because you’re exhausted and everything hurts. you’re sleeping the days away, not because you’re lazy or unmotivated, but because your body is too weak and you are in too much pain to do anything else. and then teachers yell at you for falling asleep in class every day. because it’s disrespectful, and you must obviously not care about learning. your grades must be slipping because you stay up all night on your phone - not because it makes you dizzy and nauseous just to stand up, and it takes ten minutes just to drag yourself out of bed in the morning (it takes even longer to get dressed, and you have to stop at least three times to lean over the counter and catch your breath). and then you get yelled at again for not being ready on time.
the point? stop undermining and brushing off the physical symptoms of eating disorders. eds are chronic problems, and not everyone is ready for treatment, can afford it, or has the mental or physical ability required to endure it. assuming that “anyone can get better, right now” is pretty fucking ableist as well as generally shitty.
