A NOTE ABOUT THE ED COMMUNITY ON TUMBLR:
I understand that a lot of people probably started or developed their ed from getting sucked into stuff they saw on social media but I didn't--- I'd already had my ed for years by the time I even found out that there were ed communities online.
And the thing is that without seeing what I was already doing talked about in these terms on sites like Tumblr I probably would have died a long time ago because I never would have consciously recognized how bad my behaviors were and realized that I needed to take steps to manage them.. I've also learned a LOT of harm reduction and safety tips from Tumblr that have undoubtedly saved my life multiple times now.
I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one in this boat either.
This is NOT an endorsement for anything on here that is pro ed or pro dangerous ed behavior, BUT I am saying that the existence of the ed community on here can and has been really beneficial in a lot of ways and I don't think that should be ignored or forgotten just because there are some darker sides of it as well.
