As someone who also had fend for yourself night almost every night (my mother was just depressed and an alcoholic and smoked in her room tho so no calorie counting) get into therapy asap (or as soon as you can move out). You’re going to need to work through issues with food. It’s a lot harder to stop ED’s healthily by yourself.

My mom would point out the BIGGEST person in the grocery store in a mart cart and tell me if you don’t stop eating that’s going to be you in a few years ☠️ traumatic as f**k

Ur old enough to understand the problem and identify it. Do something ab it instead of crying about it on yikyak. You are old enough to support urself!

I hate when people recognize an issue and just complain and act like they can’t even help themselves. If ur capable of recognizing the problem then you can fix it. Nobody is coming to save u queen

Assuming you’re on yikyak, you’re college age and should be able to basically care for yourself.

you might “know” what your talking about for your own situation but telling me i’m “an adult and to “fix the problem myself” was fucked up and yk it. u just assumed im doing nothing but complaining on the internet. believe it or not ppl can rant about their problems and STILL actively be doing something to make it better.

you literally know nothing about me lol. Not everyone was given the right opportunities to fall into place for them. I have a neglectful mother and no present father. my mom cared more abt herself than me and never taught me how to drive no matter how much i asked, i’ve been working my ass off to try and find a place that will offer cheap classes because without a license your basically screwed everywhere else.

not to mention using basic common sense you’d probably figure out someone being malnourished for majority of their life will lead to major health complications which kept me rejected from colleges for a while because they felt i was too sick to be able to manage both classes and my health. learn some compassion for the ppl around u cause i never asked u to hold my hand i got this far just fine without you. i came on to rant on a community meant for ranting abt ur family. don’t like it then leave

i’m working towards it it’s just taking longer than it would for most. i could write a whole book on this woman and how she’s held me back in life against my own choices. rn im stuck living with her because when i fell severely sick and was asked to go on medical leave by my college she manipulated her way into being my caregiver. she’ll do anything to control me but that’s its own issue not related to the food.

Hey I just read through all this & I’d love to dm just to talk. I’m a girl and I relate to all this, although I’m on the opposite side of things in a way. I know your DMs are off but if you ever feel like no one knows what living like this, feels like, I do. Feel free to talk to me if you want.

I’m jus reading ur paragraphs n replying. You hate to see da truth coming. But yes, you have the capacity to recognize a problem and it’s cause then you should have the ability to work yourself out of it. You’ll never be a better version of yourself if you don’t change that mindset. The experience of others breaking the cycle shows it can be done! You can break the cycle you’re in, I believe it

let’s not act kind now like u weren’t being a bitch earlier. there was no truth in what you said because it was pure assumption and even when i did give you a small peak into the steps im taking (which i genuinely am not obligated to do at all) you continued to nit pick and batter me for everything i said. hope it made you feel better as a person. hope you feel whatever negativity is hurting you inside to cause you to be so nasty to others online but have a good day and leave me alone thanks.
