I Know This Sounds Insane, But I Hate When Other People Say Theyre Not Hungry. Stop It! That's My Thing!

I know this sounds insane, but I hate when other people say they’re not hungry. Stop it! That's my thing!

I am BAFFLED at how much hair I lost in the shower today! I was fully prepared to come out bald. This is such bullshit because I’m not even bone thin (yet).

is it a binge or did i slightly overeat? Either way i want to scream.

Cannot emphasize enough how hard I feel this!

eds are weird cuz i want people to know i have an ed but i don’t want them to know. like i want to get on with it in peace but i want to know they’re concerned for me. i want the help but i don’t at the same time. i want to feel like im skinny enough to say i have an ed without it being called “disordered eating” instead. i think being skinny would solve all of my problems
