„Behind closed mouths“ out now! @anyspiridcomics - Tumblr Blog

Thank you for making this. You basically expressed every step I've been going through and I love the hope it gets easier. Too many people see eating disorders like anorexia as something that is only dangerous in thin people. It made it so much harder to accept and understand that's what I was dealing with. Thank you for writing and drawing about atypical Anorexia.

Thank you for reading!

I'm sorry to hear that you could relate but I hope, I could help you feel a little less alone with all this. Atypical anorexia is so hard to deal with, so please be patient and kind with yourself. You deserve to be happy. Don't ever let anyone tell you that your pain isn't real, just because they don't understand it.

I wish you nothing but the best for your recovery; In my case it's gotten much better over the years and I really hope that it will for you too!

Your comic is beautiful and i just want to thank you…

(Makes me 100% sure that i have an ED. Started august ‘23… been about 80% sure but i keep thinking im just overreacting… being stupid.)

Thank YOU for reading!

I’m sorry to hear that, I really hope you can get the help and support that you need. If you’re suffering, then you’re definitely not overreacting or being stupid, that's just the demons talkin'. You're allowed to take your own pain seriously, even if other people wouldn't get it. And you're allowed to seek help, even if it seems "not that bad/stupid"

You deserve to get better and I really hope you do.

Take good care of yourself, I wish you the best

hii i just finished chapter one. your graphic novel was recommended to me on my dash, and i'd like to say thank you :) i have had an ed my whole life, so your story really hit home. it is beautiful and incredibly moving. i am truly sorry that you have been through/are going through this hell. thank you for writing and illustrating it. i can't wait to read the next few chapters. unfortunately i won't be interacting by reblogging or liking them because i don't want to expose myself, but i will share it with others who are also struggling

much love from a girl stuck in a body she hates

Hi! Thank you so so much for reading it!

I’m so glad the comic found you! Gotta be honest; I was really discouraged at first but seeing your ask gave me the motivation to continue uploading the rest of the chapters.

I’m really sorry to hear that you’re still struggling with this, lately I’ve been falling back into it as well. It really is hell sometimes, but I hope you find the strength to reach out for the help/ the resources to get better. Life with an ed is so draining and soulcrushing, I promise recovery is worth it, even if it seems impossible at first.

Yes, please read along without interacting, if it would be more difficult for you otherwise! I don’t care about likes or reblogs, I just hope the people who need it, see it!

I’m sending you all my love.

Please be kind to yourself, you deserve it <3
