Destroy the idea that anorexia is the only serious eating disorder.
Do not glamorize underweight BMIs and restrictive eating.
Validate that all persons with all body types can have an eating disorder.
Understand that all eating disorders are life-threatening.
Recognize that no person is too damaged to recover.
Empower those who are healing.
when i was in recovery, it was peer-support communities that saved my life. it was the cost-free, non-hierarchical, radically fat positive and anti-diet, community-based mutual aid groups that made my recovery and so many others’ possible (messy as our work together sometimes was). now, many years after we created those types of communities out of necessity, i don’t see them anymore. everything is professionally mediated by a clinic or a brand or a program or a nonprofit.
it may be that my experiences were anomalous even at that time, or it may be that as size-inclusive and anti-diet movement has been coopted by the mainstream, they have become entirely the purview of professionals.
i want to encourage you all to create your own recovery communities. make discords, facebook groups, whatsapp groups, in-person meetings, meals together. take a leap and try things. some of our efforts fizzled and some lasted for years. but as food & body support becomes increasingly the domain of profit-driven professional endeavors, we will need more and more to stake out our own territories, and to be radical about what care looks like.
This one's for fat people recovering from a restrictive ED. The ones who are never believed if they need to talk about how severe their ED was. The ones who are constantly urged back towards diet culture and restriction rather than nourishment and recovery. Y'all's EDs are just as valid, your recovery is just as praiseworthy, and you deserve health and nourishment just as much as anyone else. Fuck 'em.

in a truly collaborative and ethical psychiatry, the concept of "noncompliance" would be obsolete. it would be LAUGHABLE, because the patient would set their own goals for treatment and would have ultimate power over whether or not they changed or met them.
sure, there would be ambivalence + psychosis + skipped appts + self-sabotaging but that would be seen through the patient's perspective- do you call it noncompliance when you stay up later than intended or go out drinking with friends when you swore you'd save money?
to "comply" is to yield to an order. we don't need to be ordered to stop suffering- we need partners in our efforts to minimize it.

hey fully vaxxed (american) people ur still gonna like. wear a mask right. on account of there’s no visual indicator that ur vaccinated. and on account of u wanna give service workers and nonvaxxed people peace of mind when ur interacting with them. and on account of vaccines aren’t 100 percent effective. and on account of so many antimaskers and antivaxxers are gonna lie and say they’re vaccinated so they can not wear one and then ur at an even higher risk. yknow. on account of vaccines aren’t 100 percent effective.
So tired of all these posts telling people to just cut everyone off. Your first response to problems shouldn’t be to run like that, it should be to communicate. I get it for extreme situations but honestly most of the time, I think failure to communicate is the most toxic things in relationships and it can really fuck people up.
i hope you heal from the things no one ever apologized for
eating disorders are about a lot of things but maybe the thing they’re most about is a fear of our painful emotions and the drive to avoid them. that avoidance seems like our only means of psychological survival at the time. and it does allow us to survive whatever pain threatens us, but only temporarily
Your purpose in life is not to love yourself but to love being yourself.
If you goal is to love yourself, then your focus is directed inward toward yourself, and you end up constantly watching yourself from the outside, disconnected, trying to summon the “correct” feelings towards yourself or fashion yourself into something you can approve of.
If your goal is to love being yourself, then your focus is directed outward towards life, on living and making decisions based on what brings you pleasure and fulfillment.
Be the subject, not the object. It doesn’t matter what you think of yourself. You are experiencing life. Life is not experiencing you.
Thank you this is the first post about self love that hasn’t made me want to throw things
Finally someone put into words the issue I have with the idea of “love yourself”.
