@KatiMorton i really love how you say "we." for example, "so we can get help." you make this all more personal and more comforting. by saying we, you make me feel like im not alone. thank you Kati!

I know someone who has anorexia. I see an eating disorder, but everyone in her family just see's progress, because she was, at one point really overweight, but she isn't losing weight in a healthy or sage way.

[Fruhtz]

me: wow.. i should probably stop my bad eating habits and get help..this is realy unhealthy

ana: but get this...youll be thin

me: ok.

[ashleyoatmilk]

I BARELY passed organic chemistry because of my anorexia - I could NOT think straight or remember anything or learn.

Oh, my gosh this scared me so much I have been Anorexic for almost 2 years and I am only 13, the doctors I see don't even take their time too explain and try too talk to me about it if my doctor would have told me all of what you Just did I would have stopped a long time ago I had too go through so many medical problems in the past 2 years but now that I've watched this I know exactly why I am going too talk too my mom about getting help because of your video thank you so much you probably saved my life <3

[JULiT]

Whenever I relapse, after a while I find it reaaaally hard to concentrate and I can't even find the right words to talk, it's like I forgot the meaning of each word I'm trying to say..

I had palpitations, hallucinations, dizziness, extreme weight loss, went to doctors very often and none of them thought I had anything wrong. My family didn't. I realized 2 years later I had an Ed. I wasn't aware of it my whole life.

I just got diagnosed with anorexia nervosa today and this video really helped me because my sister mentioned how bad my breath was today. Honestly I felt insulted but this makes so much sense now. Thank you for the video Kati

[diamonddiamond]

I was wondering why my breath was like that and dry skin

[katycats]

This needs to be shared. I'm trying to recover. This disease nearly killed me, so I want people to know how awful it is

[dunjapetrovic]

my friend bff died from anorexia im crying even today for her.. she was the best student..and she pray me to give her some drugs to clam down, im now hating mysel i shuld give her weed .. RIP MY DEAR JELENA..YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY MIND AND HEART..YOUR SCHOOL THE BEST FRIEND DUNJA!

[oliviarose]

Hi Kati, I feel I need to say, heart failure isn't the number one cause of death from anorexia as most believe. If you check recent studies, you'll see that they've finally corrected that, as the number one of cause of death from this disorder, is actually suicide. 💛 I love your videos. Thankyou for informing the world in such a compassionate way.

[pinkie]

Omg ive been seeing myself slip back into eating disorder behaviour lately, I'm so glad I watched this 😭 thanks Kati very much, you're making me talk back to that voice and pick myself back up.

[barb]

I'm not nit-picking, but it's good to use the term "Anorexia Nervosa". Certain medications can cause "anorexia" which is a lack of appetite. The distinction is the "Nervosa" term being used to indicate the mental/emotional side, not just the physical lack of appetite.

[jaylinear]

It's never felt so freeing to have someone flat out say "that's a bunch of bullshit"–thank you so very much for your candid reminders. Not sarcastically saying this at all, sometimes we need to hear that to denounce the lies.

[TheEvilJules]

Sometimes we all have that feeling that nobody cares for us, but it's really cool to see a professional like Kati that clearly trully cares about other people and wants them to feel better and be healthy, and it just makes me feel better!

[Burkhead_Family]

The cognitive slowing is so evident when I'm trying to hold a conversation with people and it's embarrassing
