about all the crap about thin forum

[needleboy]

I went to the thin page just to see what the deal was, and am in tears. I feel so sorry for these women, but more for the young girls. I cannot believe that someone could be so irresponsible as to put a board together to help people kill themselves, and further a disease that takes the lives of many of it's victims!

Ultimately, an ed is just an unhealthy coping mechanism. It honestly has little or nothing to do with weight....that's just how it shows. And ed isn't much different from self-injury either-- or any other unhealthy coping devise. I know that people get into BB adn general fitness as an escape too-- or hope that once this hit a certain bf, weight, etc that they'll finally feel at peace in their own skin. I guess the difference in my mind is that while people will go to extremes to get big, they're not as likely to kill you as fast. One huge electrolyte imbalance and you have a cardic arrest.

I'm in some online ed recovery support stuff online. Every once in a while I'll get an IM from a 13 year old girl looking for tips (which I would never give to anyone). It breaks my heart. It hurts me so much to know that anyone else would go through that. I cannot even express how sick it makes me feel to know that someone would give out tips to anyone that would "help" them to get more sick.

I don't really see pro-ed as a true face of eating disorders. While it is a part, there's a real backlash against it to the millions struggling with or working on recovery. The most helpful site I've yet to encounter is www.sfwed.org They helped me get on track to start living again.

Please don't misunderstand me. I'm not advocating it at all. I'm just saying that the people who post their thoughts of disgust and contempt for these people should take a look and try to relate to why anorexics do it. They already have enough people telling them how disgusting, unhealthy etc. it is. A little understanding would go much farther.
