i had an eating disorder due to a really stressful relationship, he would constantly walk out on me as he was an alcoholic and drank 12 hours at a time 2 or 3 times a week, he would argue when needing a drink, he would delete my number block me on everything and then come back and message and call me all night, this behavior stopped me eating,
the last time he left me i decided enough was enough i blocked him and sent back all his stuff i'm eating much better now
I've had an Eating-Disorder for 6 years just about. For me it is 100% trauma related, and that's part of what makes me think I will never recover. I associate being at a healthy weight/conventionally attractive in any way with being abused. And these behaviors I've picked up make me feel like I'm finally safe
I'm 6' and only weigh 107lbs. Before my motorcycle accident I weighed 155. I was born with Bladder Extrophy. I've had 39 major surgeries, 7 related to accident. One for a gunshot wound and the rest from the B.E. All I know is trauma since birth. But for some reason the motorcycle accident changed me. Physically and mentally. It was a 10 1/2 week hospital stay… chemically induced coma for 3wks. I think that's what did it. I had experienced everything else before. I have so much to say…..but no one to say it to. Did I mention I've been a shut in the last several years? Yeah. I'm so alone. If you've read this far, thank you. I'm not used to anyone caring enough to listen/read. If you're reading this and also need help…please reach out. Don't be like me. Slowly dying.
Really wish they would dive into a person’s history then just a doc spending a few seconds to label someone and go ahead with what they think. Know so many people who been traumatised by hospitals because they don’t take in ADHD traits and/ or atypical brains with their care/ treatment plan. I always struggle to remember to eat, and still have to roster ‘eat’ in or I’ll go all day without food and water, but realising I choose food based on hot/ cold, texture etc and less on taste. I really found it hard to work out what my body wanted to eat, but just that little awareness helped a lot
yea when i’m depressed or stressed i over eat lost 60 lbs went through depression gained it back got even more depressed and started isolating myself cuz i felt like no one would accept me cuz i’m overweight and it’s lowkey true

I and several friends did very restrictive dieting in the 80s and 90s. We all gained a lot of weight over the years and tend to binge. It’s hard to address.
If I don't eat correctly I get LPR acid reflux and then it burns my voice. I've been in hospital regarding this and had to adapt my dient to alkaline and be very selective. I don't feel bad. I feel good that I can do something to manage my symptoms and help my body heal. Even if it is limited eating, I still enjoy the food I eat by just sitting down and focussing on every bite as I have to chew my food a lot. Before I ate more at any time of day or night as I thought because I am thin I do not need to worry about he amount of food, but stil had a limited diet eating vegan for 35 years due to uncomfortable digestive issues including severe pain and nausea. I do not see myself as having an eating disorder, but rather proud of my ability to apply discipline and awareness to manage the condition in my body, and by managing it I have less pain and discomfort and more ability to have positive experiences in life. I think it's all about the reasoning behind the action. I don't want to leave my health is a doctor's hands only and just live on pills feeling sorry for myself. If there is something I can do by being a responsible human being I do it, because I'm just so grateful for my health and my life. On the other hand I have little sympathy for people who do not take control of their eating habits. I understand it it very hard, like to quit smoking, but having awareness (not insecurity) and a plan that one can feel excited about every day helps a lot. I don't think I'm missing out on good food because I just tell myself that that is 'no-good' food. My sister tells me I have an eating disorder and dont eat enough (which i cant as the get sick), but she weights 165kg and cannot resist chocolates, cake, and comforting foods even though it is damaging her body. I can't accept that people can disrespect themselves so much to just pop things in their mouth for comfort. But I can understand as it has been a life long struggle to offer her support and help. So much that I read 100s of books about food and got obsessed to find the solution. But the problem is not in the food as much as it is in our minds. We either eat to live or we live to eat. If emotion controls you above discipline, you're not going to get very far. Each person must learn to understand themselves and find the right help on their road to recovery. Just don't blame yourself for not getting it right over and over again. You can start again doing your best. Food is a very difficult discipline to master. It's so delicious, and completely affects our health, physically, mentally and emotionally.

The accuracy and compassion of this analysis (in my experience and perspective) seems very much on par with that of Louise Hay. In her book 'Heal Your Body', she summarises the causation of anorexia as "Denying the self life. Extreme fear, self-hatred and rejection", and bulimia as "Hopeless terror. A frantic stuffing and purging of self-hatred". Both summations certainly ring true for me.
My anorexia developed at age 14. This came to overlap with and include bulimia – and later, overlap with and include cigarette smoking and alcohol abuse. I recall having a clear sense of my panic and distress manifesting in my flesh: that is, the stronger my emotions, the fatter my body felt – whilst losing the weight somehow helped to lessen what was 'bad' about me. Similarly – and with the same inevitability that speed results in collisions.- my bulimic acts of bingeing and purging were propelled by overwhelming emotional despair.
In my 30+ years of living this way, I have consulted with more than 10 medical 'professionals' (including three psychiatrists), and experienced two hospital stays – all to very little avail. Which to this day leaves me angry. I get, absolutely, that eating disorders are incredibly difficult to make sense of from the outside. I do understand that. However, when a medical professional voluntarily declares (or, fails to protest) their 'expertise' in this field – well then a greater onus arguably rests upon said 'expert'. And as one who has been filled with fear and panic for so long, I think I feel betrayed by these people.
In conclusion: the analysis presented in the video above is, in my experience, unusually accurate and compassionate.
If you study alchemy you'll see this is about a stuck coagulatio. When the person focuses their pleasure (coagulatio) only in food instead of searching for other pleasureable things, it means they have to start searching for things they once liked doing, specially when they were kids. Of course these people need therapy and all, usually they don't seek pleasure in other activities bc they think they don't deserve it, feel guilty etc. I know this is a very small information and there's a lot more under this subject, don't get me wrong (I am a daughter of narcissistic parents and it took me 10 years to recover and start living a pleasurable life with no guilt), but take a look on this knowledge if you feel like it, it can help understand some things including other subjects in anybody's lives. For instance, somebody who is an alcoholic is stuck in solutio, somebody who cuts themselves is stuck in separatio. We have to go through these operations and do what they demand in order to grow and once we do this, the symptom disappears. It's no magic, takes a lot of bravery and inner work. A person who feels suicidal: stuck mortificatio. And so on. I hope this helps someone.
The ARFID disorder definiton is interesting. I wonder if me being vegan makes the eating disorder worse. Vegans restrict a lot. I also tend to eat one or two things and nothing else. I ate baked potatoes for over a year, every meal once. Variety in food is alarming and stressful. I do know when I found fasting it was like a handy excuse to mask the starvation periods. I once fasted 108 days. It was hell on my mental health. I struggle with periods of not eating. It's natural now, happens without me meaning to, where before I starved by choice. It's becoming a problem. My body doesn't bounce back like it used to. I've been starving and binging since I was 16. 20 years with an eating disorder people don't even notice, or when they do don't think should be addressed, like being overweight means you're lacking willpower not suffering a real mental health issue. It's strange to have an illness everyone ignores.
I know someone that was sexually abused as a child and his abuser told him that he was too skinny and that he “liked boys with more meat in their bones“ so he stopped eating to feel safer, years later and he stills has trouble with eating to this day, I try to help him but its hard, even with therapy the trauma doesn’t just go away

She’s so right. I have an eatting disorder and it’s so hard. It’s not about food.

I wish good health to everyone reading this!

I could only dream of therapy 😪 😔 😞
I truly wish I could afford therapy. I binge eat and have PTSD. I try my best to do what I can without outside help.
