If I could give her just 20% of my laziness, she'd gain 80 pounds.

There is this one woman in my neighborhood who is anorexic, and she would used to work out an hour a day running on the treadmill. She is skinny to the point where bones are showing. One day, she got banned from the gym by the owners because they were concerned for her condition and didn’t want her to be affiliated with them. I thought that they made the right call for her sake. She’s recovering now, but still has a long way to go.

Poor woman she needs really lots of love and therapy. Hope she gets better

[eshwaranand]

People who abuse children are monsters. Look at the lives they ruin.

This woman truly deserves respect. You have my respect

Mental illness is such a serious thing. We are nowhere near educated enough in the general public to spot the signs or know how to deal with someone going through these things. So much more work and awareness needs to be brought to the world.

I'm addicted to exercise too. From the fridge to my sofa . Every 10 min

[RNGD-jpnk]

[malc]

I can’t imagine what this poor woman, Erin is going through. This must be soooo draining for her !? I hope she is able to recover ...

[novaste]

People underestimate the true LIFELONG damage that abuse creates.

[mahoganycolbert]

And here im someone who gets tired of working out for only 10 minutes then goes to sleep for 2 days straight .

[kathleenhernandez]

So she’s like literally and figuratively running away from her trauma

I started smoking cigarettes since my teenage, spent my whole life fighting Cigarettes addiction. Also suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my wife recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. This is something that really need to be use globally to help people with related health challenges.

It's not addiction, it's an escape way from reality and thinking. Whenever the mind goes free, it starts to think, thinking can lead to remembering of painful stuff, defence mechanism kicks in and you keep it numb or busy

[leeknow]

*oh look I've found the opposite me*

[naysapancakeface]

This disorder is litterally hell I lived it myself. I stretched and exersized 18 hours a day regardless of injuries

[DaisyBeach]

Wishing her a full recovery and relief from this torment.
