Bio

Hey, my name's Lisa and I'm 17 years old. I'm currently struggling with disordered eating behaviour but have not yet been in therapy for it. I'm also struggling with my body image. My family and my friends do not know or think I've gotten better. I also self-harm if things start to build up and overwhelm me. Besides all of that, I try to be as positive as I can be and always see the best in things. I try to take things as they are and try not to be sour about things I cannot change. I love spending time with my friends just talking nonsense or watching YouTube videos. I also enjoy binge watching Netflix or reading Manga to calm down. I would describe myself as funny but that's always in the eye of the beholder, I guess. I can be a little harsh sometimes and I swear a lot. I don't mean it most of the time tho. I'm also fluent in sarcasm. Besides that, I am part of the LGBTQ+ community as I identify as bisexual. I'm proud of who I am and who I love and have come out to my family and most of my friends.

...See more Hey! I always think that being able to let off some steam by just screaming my frustrations into the void of the internet helps me relax so I thought maybe you all could enjoy it as well. I love all the people who have said those things to me and I know they didn't mean any harm by telling me to "just eat" or whatnot but it still is a very frustrating experience. But because I know some things are very common and some may not be I thought "hey, why not write a Thread about it?", so here it is. A place to share all of the annoying, and sometimes very hurtful, things people have said to you about your eating disorder, no matter if it is anorexia, bulimia, binge eating or anything else. I hope this will help you all to release some built up frustration and anger in a healthy way. And I will start with the most common ones I have heard up till now: "that's soooo unhealthy" "why don't you just eat if you're hungry?" "you sure you want to eat that much?" "why do you eat so little?" "can I have your piece of cake? I know you're not gonna eat it anyway" "People with eating disorders are so stupid and vain, they just do it to look good" "Do you even have real problems?" and many, many more. Please do not insult any of the people who have said those things to you on this Thread, this Thread is here because I wanted a healthy outlet for us to have. Besides that this can obviously be very triggering so please be careful. All in all, I hope this will help you all let go of all these things and move on from now on! -Niula aka Lisa
