This is so underrated this needs to become a movie it portrays eating disorders in Covid 19 so well it would probably win a Oscar for the incredible work that went into this,

Oh, my.. This hits hard.😭💔 I was a bulimic with anorexic tendencies for 33 years, then became EDNOS/a non-purging bulimic, which is where I've been at for the past 6 years. I'm constantly trying to get back to heavy restriction. ED's are Hell. It's so hard to let go of the obsessive behaviors and thoughts that constantly sabotage you.😭 I felt it when the young man was looking longingly at the ice cream. It's torture.😩 I'm looking forward to seeing this in a few weeks. Thank you.❤️

The struggle is real…the struggle is real.

I'm a longtime sufferer of an eating disorder, but in essentially a place of recovery, and I've made it a point to mention that bc i had a bout with mild COVID but it affected and really dulled my sense of taste, i had a mild relapse, after thinking i was in a solid state of recovery. I'm in the US, and just stumbled across this and am glad to see the issue being addressed, when i hadn't heard of it as such, and felt some responsibility to spread the word.

This is an incredibly important film that does a great job of addressing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on young people. As a psychotherapist, I think many of my clients will relate to the issues brought up in the film.

I know we're not in the trenches of corona anymore but I just watched this in 2024 and honestly it's one of the most hard-hitting shorts I've watched in a while. All the emotions portrayed by the character, they're spot on. What an excellent, excellent short worthy of an award.

My eating disorder literally went outof control during covid and it's interesting how it's like a whole thing and so many ppl did to

I developed my ED again during Covid. I was lonely, wallowing in self pity

[jinamm]

Hi! great trailer. when and where can I see the film? I'm so excited, the topic is dealt with far too rarely (that is, not at all)!

[Me-rk]

This is the exact same way that I am(I am getting help for it)

[mtvne]

Does anyone have a disorder where I binge on snacks? My mind says if I eat it all at once it does not count, so I eat all the food quickly and therefore I don't have it around to eat again. But that is not healthy so I get a reaction to doing that. I do not throw the food up it is just an endless guilt and reward cycle. Thank you.

Very underrated indeed.
I have BED (Binge-Eating-Disorder).

(I have had ups and downs in my weight since I was 13. I’m 32 now.)

But very strong ones.
(15 kg plus, 25 kg minus, 18 kgs plus, 32 kgs minus, 50 kgs plus etc.)

In 2019 I had it somewhat under control, was a normal weight and looked pretty normal.

But when the gyms closed for the first time it felt like a rug was pulled from under my feet.

I fell back into old eating habits, unhealthy coping mecanisms and started to put weight back on very quickly.

And now here I am 5 years later and 30 kgs heavier.

On friday evening I saw a former collegue from my qualification school sitting in a café.

I was so glad he didn’t see or recognize me.
It would have been too embarrassing…

I mean so many places were closed, so many things you couldn’t do. But you could still buy food. And booze.

Ironic really (but not), that the actor is good-looking!

[Mazzy-bv]

He looks about 38 n aposed to be a teenager
