What people do not seem
to understand
about eating disorders:
1..They do not just
randomly
happen to a person
because they decide to diet
2.
Staring at pictures
of skinny people does not
cause an eating disorder

Anorexia is not something
a person just becomes.
It is largely influenced
by genetics and brain chemicals...
A person does not choose it,
nor do they
need motivation for it

Most people
with eating disorders
are not anorexic

but it is not
the only eating disorder

Being smart
does not mean you know everything. I know a lot about certain topics. I am
not an expert, and I never claimed to
be
Mental illnesses actually really suck and are not
cute or fun at all and I have no sympathy or repsect for people who romanticize
them like trends or personality quirks...
It is not self expression to promote a mental illness, it is just you being an insensitve jerk. I feel really, really bad for people with real mental illnesses and I doubt they appreciate seeing people constantly mock their disorders online....I know I do not appreciate it at all, it is just disrespectful

It is a fact many people self diagnose themselves with mental illnesses, mostly because
they are
ignorant and do not
actually understand mental disorders, lots of times...
Taking an online quiz or reading about a diagnosis and assuming you suffer from it, is stupid and offensive...Why do you think doctors train and study for years to do their job? it is not so people can self diagnose. I am not saying this to sound rude, I am saying this because it needs to be said.
You cannot decide to suffer from an illness or condition simply because you want to. It does not work like that. Mental disorders are not trends or personality traits and people should not desire to be diagnosed with them. If you are actually healthy, appreciate it.

You really do not know what someone is dealing with, so please do not be so
judgemental just because
you read some words on a screen. Maybe read it again and really think before you reply or express your
opinion...there is a
reason I write the way I
do and it is not to offend or upset people or wind
up getting criticized for
expressing my
struggles
Forcing yourself to forget something only causes the brain to
think about it even more.
