tips on how to become an anorexic!:
(so a lot of you guys messaged me and asked me how to develop an ed. literally - how to become anorexic. when i was 13 years old i went on tumblr and asked someone the same exact question. below i will say few things that i really wish someone told me then. reasons why you should stay away from anorexia. you will also find few fun pictures. enjoy. and please, reblog to save others - i never asks for reblogs just to promote myself but i guess it’s important to show this to everyone in this community)
anorexia kills people. in the 80’s a celebrity, Kristen Carpentner died because of a heart faliure. she was the first recognized case of death caused by ed. few years later, another woman, Christy Henrich also lost her life. but what about others? eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness. you don’t choose when something bad is going to happen to you when you are starving yourself. people actually die because of eating disorders. young people, just like you and me
low blood pressure, which means nauseous and dizziness. once i almost passed out in the middle of the street. i didn’t know what was going on, i thought i’m going to die. i coulnd’t stand without shaking snd had trouble with breathing
my hair started to fall out. i know what you’re thinking. “it won’t happend to me”. it feels surrealistic to wake up and see more and more hair on your brush every day, doesn’t it?
on the other hand, your hair can start to grow.. on parts of your body where the hair is not really common to grow. it happens because your body tries to warm you up. people with anorexia often develop long, fine downy hair on face and body (hands, legs). it’s called lanugo
but despite that, you will probably always feel cold. evern during the summer
anemia. it happed to me too. if you don’t know what it is, it’s an illness which is usually caused by too little iron in the diet. symptoms include fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. so you are choosing anorexia and sometimes you get a little side illness - anemia, for free!
loosing teeth. i didn’t know it’s possible until i saw a girl on youtube that was a bulimic in the past and lost all of her teeth.. if you are vomiting, acids from your stomach can cause it, and if you are starving your teeth becomes weaker
so don’t ever purge. vomiting can also cause puffy cheeks, cough and red eyes
irregular menstrual cycles or no periods at all. it definitely happend to me too. my cycles became chaotic and weak. you probably will ask - “and what? period is awful, i don’t want it lol”. so, it can cause infertility. if a woman’s body fat falls, she will no longer produce the hormone which is necessary to stimulate ovulation. so simply - you won’t ever be able to get pregnat. maybe now you don’t think about kids but in the past a lot of things can change
osteoporosis - the loss of bone calcium, which may result in broken bones. didn’t happen to me but your whole body is basically weaker so it makes a lot sense that your bones does too.
hunger pains, bloating, abdominal pains, stomach rumbles. nothing pleasure
you poop very rare. you are not getting enough food and not getting enough fibre so it’s „normal” that you don’t poop very often
bruising easily. it happens because our bodies lack nutrients and our skin is more exposed on demages. i bruise a lot + i’m also pale so i almost always look like i had a fight or something lol
sometimes insomnia. i had a lot of troubles with sleeping when i was at my worsts. my low self-esteem and hunger pains weren’t helpful at all
depression, suicidal thoughts. you heard that one for sure.. feeling like you are not enough, like you can’t even starve properly
anxiety and isolation. i just wanted to be alone when i was at my worst. i was angry. angry at myself and the whole world
i lost all my friends. basically all of my relationships during the past few years was destroyed because of my ed. because of my lied they lost their trust. ohters weren’t able to help me and they couldn’t watch me hurting myself. i became lonely
binging and starving cycles - this is the worst. you automatically assume that you will lose weight when you became anorexic but you can actually gain it and lose it and gain it and again and again. eating 3000 calories today and 100 tommorow? i’ve been there
avoiding eating on public. even on recovery i never ate on public, that was actuall one of the habits that stuck when me despite of recovery. i’m just feeling too ashamed to do this
feeling fat, no matter how much you weigh. it’s called body dysmorphia and it’s very common. you also very often have unreachable goals
thinking about calories all the time. after two years of having eating disorders i count them during every meal i have. not on purpouse, i just know the calories of every food i eat by heart
i probably forgot about something, i did for sure, but i hope you read it all and learned something about how awful this illness is. you will change. you won’t be the same person. mental illness will change you. it will break you. and not everyone have the power to fight with it. please, stay away to save your true self.
