I'm fine... - Eating Disorder Short Film

Eating disorders are often hidden, but they are more prevalent in today's society than you may think. There is no 'one size fits all' mould for who could be silently struggling, and sometimes, just being there for someone is enough.

You are worth it. Recovery is possible.

I developed an eating disorder at the age of 4-5 which then ended about ages 7-8.
It was caused by my grandparents making my eating environment unsafe. Punishing me when I didn’t eat, not letting me leave the table, eating biscuits in front of me while I was sat forced to stare at my dinner.

I ate less and less, refusing even when my mum tried to hand feed me. I cried when my parents tried to motivate me to eat more. I became skin and bone.

Due to the fact that they were eating cakes, biscuits, sweets right there, made them a reward when I finally forced my dinner down my throat. Which then became an addiction to sugar-y things because in the back of my mind, sugar = I’m good. Even now, I'm still trying to fix the issues I have with sugar.
Now due to my sugar addiction, I have very high cholesterol in my blood at the age of 14.
I hate my grandparents.

Yknow it’s bad when you start watching these to find new ways to lose weight

[BrainTribune]

It is bad to have this struggle and what's even worse is that people think you're just catastrophising and giving it more than it deserves. This is a disorder where you lose yourself in a battle. It's either you deprive yourself or you you eat until you're nauseous. There is no in between 😢. And the mental/psychological damage is real.

I am going through bulima nervosa , my body feels like its rotting. At close to night i binge eat after just taking a bite of dinner. I started powerlifting becuase it mackes me happy, but i cant even enjoy it without feeling like my body is giving up. I am trying to recover but i am just scared of gaining the wight i have allready lost.

When ppl ask u how u r and u just say " im fine" but ur not really fine but u can never really get it out bcoz they will never understand....

[Alexaslayss]

Yall it's getting worse I'm restricting more and more I went from doing really good in recovery no calorie counting but I was eating enough. Now I'm eating no more then 1200 calories and only eating 2-3 times a day and walking atleast 5 laps a day

[v_bunny]

recovered for 3 years and now i’ve been relapsing for two weeks ! any previous relapse attempts never even lasted two days.. what is going onnn

[hannjojo]

I dont know
Some days i eat good but most days not much
I dont know what to eat, its to Exhausting to think what i could eat. I have no more motivation on shopping food or cooking.
But social anxiety is kicking there also cause iam spending 90% just on my own and dont wanna talk to anyone about my feelings

[chelbydavis]

She has really long and beautiful hair so to see her in her eating disorder is very devastating because she is too beautiful inside and out for this. Eating disorders are a very ugly and insidious devil

[lucasmuller]
