All those people who wanted her to get help so desperately, saying they would watch her if she got help, turned a blind eye and didn’t say or do anything…but then started criticizing her and making videos about her again after she relapsed.

​@@Notimportant12213 sorry, but blaming internet crowd for your personal issues as a public individual is just NOT productive. From what I have seen, this girl needs therapy, not only around her body image issues, but also around her being an adult. I see 29 yo woman stuck in 16 yo mentality.

People need to be told the internet world is an illusion, but the evil on there can bleed into reality

[@TheProfessorExplains]

There’s a really simple solution to all of this: STOP WATCHING. Seriously. Once she no longer has her audience feeding her mental illness, she’ll likely have to confront it. But when 100 million people watch her videos and millions of people like them, it’s positive reinforcement for negative behavior. Or you can keep “feeling concerned” while watching her until she dies.

The black mirror episode where the prime minister has sex with the pig is the same principle. If nobody was watching they would have noticed the princess was released. But people are fascinated by absurdity so they can’t look away. Same thing here. People will never stop watching her because her looks and behaviour is so abnormal and wild.

Nurse here! I'd love to see her blood test results. I guarantee she's severely anemic, has a clotting disorder, doesn’t have her menstrual cycle, and is probably very close to organ failure. The problem is no one can force her to eat a ton because her body will go into shock. She needs TPN or a GJ tube for immediate enteral nutrition. This is so bad.

[@sergeantsapient]

We had a cat that came from an ex-roommate that was severely undernourished and it turned out the ex-roommate was feeding her kibble and her teeth were so bad she couldn't even bite into it. We didn't have the money to take her to a vet so we had to feed her wet cat food and *very slowly* increase the amount per feeding because we were concerned the sudden weight gain might tax her heart. She got better for a few months but unfortunately her heart couldn't handle the strain even as slow as we were going and she passed away very suddenly from a heart attack in her sleep. Just kind of confirming what you're saying. You definitely can't just shove food into an emaciated person's gullet and expect everything to go away.

[@sparklykittens6531]

People should believe you. Because one time I didnt eat until I fell under 90 lbs and when I got my period after eating (shortly anorexic due to a temporary procedure) I had a pile of blood in the toilet that freaked me the fuck out.

It is legitimately horrifying to see someone in this condition. I can't believe she's lasted this long given the last time I heard about her.

[@Thedarkbunnyrabbit]

I believe it is because people have been looking out for her and it's been intermittent. We don't know when she fell off the recovery wagon between 2019 and 2023. In 2019 while she was too thin she was at a healthier weight. If you sudden crash fast you die in a month or two, but if you slowly cut back more and more, your body basically has the ability to ration itself. It starts eating itself, you give it some food and it rations that as little as possible to make it last, and then you starve until it starts eating itself again and repeat. Having someone look out for you is vital, because there will be times you don't have the energy to do anything at all, and people will need to hand-feed you to maintain that delicate balance. Ultimately, there's nothing the human body is better at than finding a way to survive. If you give it even the tiniest inch, it will drag it the bloody mile. The tragedy, of course, is that this kind of bodily function is designed to be temporary, and physically cannot be permanent. It doesn't matter how thin you spread the butter. Eventually there will be no more butter to spread.

I recently had to have a discussion with a group of young teens I teach in a high school who also had gotten the idea that Eugenia had some sort of cancer.

It was just a very difficult conversation to have with the kids, then their parents who had no idea about Eugenia either.

Why would they ban Eugenia if they don't ban fat influencers? Or even trans? Is not a slow suicide, is a destructive mental disorder which is caused by a strong body dysmorphia which leads to eventual death. The woman needs a medical help, and her mother is disgusting.

As someone who was hospitalized for an eating disorder over 10 years ago, I will say this: You never "had" an eating disorder, it will always be with you, just like you were never "once" an alcoholic. To say that you recovered, there's no such thing. If you are lucky, you get the help and you are given mechanisms to cope, if you are not, you live in a delusion until your body shuts down and dies. It will always sit in the back of your mind, taunting (I'm jealous of how she looks), it's easy to relapse and fall into old habits, especially when stress and anxiety are high. Thankfully, I was a minor at that time and my parents didn't let me get as bad as her as far as I'm aware (I'm 5'9" and got down to about 90 pounds). You also know you have it, and when people tell you to get help, you're sickly proud. The thoughts are warped: "Yes, look how thin and together I am" is the primary thought. You become scared to gain weight and the lack of calories causes psychological issues to the point where you physically cannot eat because it causes you so much mental pain.

[@innocehnt75]

hey i understand where you're coming from, I've had an ED for 6 years now. but i think this idea of "there's no such thing as recovery" is so incredibly harmful. if someone told that to me when i was at my worst, I'd probably just think that I'd never get better, so why should i even bother to attempt this non existent "recovery"? like yes its true that the thoughts remain at the back of your mind but perpetuating the idea that you'll never get better no matter what you do will only cause people to stop seeking treatment, similar to the case of eugenia. it's possible that *YOU* aren't fully recovered yet, which is evident by the fact that you're bragging about your lowest weight despite knowing it will definitely trigger people, but that doesn't mean you get to assume that recovery is impossible for everyone.

[@WilliamBruhhh]

I had anorexia in middle school. It’s much more rare in boys and also rare to be that early. But I was picked on for being “chubby”(I wasn’t actually chubby). But you’d be surprised what people can make you believe when they try so hard to make you feel bad about yourself. I decided I wanted to make a change so I started eating less food which caused a downward spiral to the point where I was skipping out on numerous meals a day, and sometimes, I just wouldn’t eat. I lost tons of weight, looked horrible, and was very unhealthy during a time in my life when nutrition was imperative, puberty. Looking back, it’s hard to remember how I felt mentally because it was mostly an exhausted fog, but I do remember a few things. I remember eating anything made me feel guilty. I remember being SO skinny but failing to see it, always just believing that I was overweight or too fat. I remember there were mood swings, heavy ones. During the day I was on an obsessive mission to become skinnier, while at night I knew what I was doing was wrong and was afraid I would die in my sleep of malnutrition, also sleep was wildly uncomfortable and unsatisfying. One day, and I remember it very clearly, it was Good Friday(A Christian feast day during which one fasts), my dad asked if I would like a light dinner to break my fast. I declined, which wasn’t out of the ordinary at this point. He knew something was up before this point, but it was here that he decided to confront me about it very bluntly. He literally pulled me towards him and stuck his hand down my shirt. He was seeing how well he could feel my ribs. I think he knew right then what the problem was. He didn’t know how to confront it emotionally or mentally, he just knew something was wrong, so he confronted it with tough love. He sat me down with a big bowl of coco dyno-bites. I said I didn’t want any but he didn’t care, he said I wasn’t allowed to leave the kitchen until they were gone. He did this for a while and comforted me about the issue, saying that everything was ok and was going to be ok, and that his tough love, even some heavy yelling at some points, was with good intention. After a while, eating and the conversations made it feel normal again. I just, slipped away from it, and one day I ran upstairs for dinner and my mom said, “Wow, I’ve never seen you run so fast for food before.” And that was it. They never held it against me, brought it up, or have spoken about it to this day. It was a struggle I got over and they have chosen not to bring it up in case it still weighs heavy on me. As was brought up in “What is a woman?”, my parents helped me see around a deadly corner and took the necessary actions to make sure that I was healthy and wasn’t harming myself. I feel deeply for Eugenia Cooney and am sorry that she doesn’t have rockstars in her life like I do to make sure she stays on the right path. And I feel sorry for any child who is somehow allowed to convince their parents that their wildly unhealthy behaviors, from gender dysphoria to anorexia, is somehow ok and should be encouraged. Hope she feels better❤️

I stopped watching her and un-subscribed from her. I am not going to feed into her content.

[@princerose1010]

I was 19 when I had an eating disorder. I remember my friends and family expressing their worries, and how it strangely just validated my ED even more. That’s what makes them so hard to treat. You can say: “I’m worried about you,” and the patient will think: “Ah yes, that means I’m *almost* thin enough…” But conversely if they DO start getting help and you say: “I’m glad you’re looking healthier,” then the patient will think: “Oh no, I must be getting fat.” Which will send them spiraling again. This was exactly how it was for me. I’m 38-years-old now, and my ED is in remission. Fun fact for a lot of people, they never go away entirely. Every now and then I catch myself in those old patterns: “What if I just skip a few meals before my next doctor’s appointment so the number on the scale will be a little less?” Or “maybe I’ll take too much of this laxative,” because I want to feel “empty.” Or I’ll fixate on my weight, by checking the scale multiple times a day. Sometimes when I look in the mirror I still see a version of me that I know isn’t real -I will actually hallucinate that I am this big, blob of a person whose body fat is spilling out of my clothes, when realistically I’m a moderately-sized, 5’3” middle-aged woman who goes to the gym and wears a size 10-12. I’ve been through multiple diets over the years, and they usually result in ED-like fixation on my part. Anxieties about going out to eat, constantly checking to see if my belly looks “pouched.” I have had to hide my weight scale in an inconvenient spot to get to in my house to keep me from standing on it every couple of hours of the day. I feel bad for Eugenia, too. I, like most people, hope she gets the help she needs. And I also know from personal experience what a hard road it is to healing.

[@whenraindropsfall]

Well done for your journey. Do you have tips for helping people who struggle with ED?

[@princerose1010]

@@whenraindropsfall thank you very much. I suppose if I had any advice, it’s just to talk to someone. Someone you trust. And to find things in your life that bring you fulfillment. Find things that make you happy and will keep your mind off of standing on the scale and counting your calories. Eating disorders are kind of an obsession. It takes over your whole being. So finding things to occupy that space in your mind that don’t involve food will help. Having a hobby can also give you a self-confidence boost and makes you feel productive.

[@whenraindropsfall]

Literally all comments in her comments section do that. What you talking about? It's just not true.

[@CombativeMedic]

This is a story that's over a decade old now, and she has since isolated herself from the people who actually cared about her. It's a really sad truth, but you can't help someone who refuses to receive help -and perceives it as a negative. This will continue so long as she's surrounded by horrible influences like her sorry excuse of a mother, and is promoted by platforms. (Shame on them, by the way.)

[@assassin8636]

How is it the truth and shame one whom?

[@annabellesky]

@@assassin8636, Well if you think about it, you can't force someone to get treatment if they don't want to. There isn't a legal option to forcibly make Eugenia get treatment if she doesn't want to. That's within her right as a human and most likely a citizen of which ever country she resides in. That's the truth the OP was talking about. Secondly, shame on Tiktok and other social media platforms who are praising and highlighting her distructive behavior, promoting it to their audiences as "we support this", when in reality Eugenia's horrible mental state and unhealthy situation is an example to young kids who thing "this is beauty, this is heathy, this is what will make me famous and make me well loved by the world".

[@StrangeChickandPuppo]

I think the self-isolation story is a myth, or perhaps at best out of context.. if she really does self-isolate, then why is she so public? All of those people can just comment..

[@annabellesky]

@@StrangeChickandPuppo I think she "self-isolates" herself from real connections in her life. Her "friends" and the "love" she receives are all her fans and commenters. She doesn't have any real life connections that can speak into her situation. That probably started happening when her friends lovingly intervened and she felt betrayed. Not even her mom is intervening and helping Eugenia's condition, which personally I do think her mental state of "I'm a 15 year old goth gal" in a 29 year old body is concerning on top of her ED and other issues. Unfortunately, I think she's okay with this path that she is on and no one can really stop her if she wants to live her life that way. It's so heartbreaking and aggravating to see because this sends a message to younger folks who take in these ideologies consciously or subconsciously and soon they live it out. The vicious cycle continues.

[@jo-eo9ld]

I think the most heartbreaking thing is that she will probably die believing all her friends betrayed her, when really they were the last line of people willing to do something to help her.

[@JoshuaOdionson]

She's needed help for years, now. The fact that nothing has changed is appalling.

[@Parrotgirl-tattoo]

I've been checking in on her periodically over the years. This last time that she apparently convinced the authorities that she is "fine", & then had the audacity to immediately start posting again, makes my blood boil. I'm done checking on her. I'm done leaving comments urging her to get help. The only thing that is going to force her to get help is for her to hit rock bottom. And hopefully that won't be too late for her life.

[@Gatefan1565]

Unfortunately, we now have a society that says, "you are fine just the way you are." Not everyone is fine just the way they are. Society needs to stop with pandering/enabling and have some honesty.

[@EvilQueen_93]

You can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped. Best to stop following her and let her do whatever she wants, even if it's a slow and miserable death. Btw, I have a feeling that she has an ED because of her mother. I mean, one can imagine her mother shaming her for being fat and chubby when she was little. So she stopped eating or whatever she did to make her mother happy and feel worthy of her love. Why else would a mother think that being skinny to the point of having no muscle in her daughter's limbs is completely okay and healthy?

[@Parrotgirl-tattoo]

@@EvilQueen_93 I agree with you wholeheartedly. I recall seeing some of her back story where she'd wanted to be a fashion model. I'm sure her mother told her she would have to be extra skinny to make it.. 🙄

With this logic of people who call for banning her we should ban even morbidly obese ones and that wouldn't go well nowadays, would it? Also I don't think she is already at that point where she is about to die because her hair, teeth and face in general looks ok (compare to other sadly recently passed anorexic youtubers like Amy or Lique Faith, where you can see in their faces that the illness took all it could from them)

This is shocking! As someone who used to have anorexia at 12-13, this is definitely not something to be glorified or admired and I know how low my confidence, self-esteem, and overall quality of life was. Luckily I went to an Eating Recovery Center, with medical professionals and the support of my family. This is very sad to watch, and I wish her the very best in her life.

She said that people should think hard about what they say to Eugenia right now, as it may be the very last comment she reads :(

Are you talking about _Of Herbs and Altars_ ? She was the only one I've seen who was gently compassionate and spoke from experience. She essentially gave Eugenia her "goodbyes" in her video saying she recognizes this as the final stage. I've never seen Eugenia look this bad in all these years.

[@edithmoreno8689]

There was a documentary about her, her situation is really bad you can’t even talk to her about her disorder. She gets really triggered, so she not only needs a doctor about her disorder but she also needs a therapist 🥺she’s in my prayers🙏🏻💜

[@dinosaurwoman]

As someone who suffered/suffers from anorexia, she is enjoying the attention, whether if it's positive or negative. I know that she thinks when people tell her she's too thin, she sees it as a challenge to get thinner. It's how I thought, and social media didn't exist when I was in the midst of it. She is dying, and she believes it won't happen to her, that she has complete control. Sadly, there is nothing they can do for her unless she decides to change.

[@johnh3476]

And the more people watch and like, the more they support her illness. The best thing would be is to ban her channel and cut off the attention.

I thank God that I did not get that far with my ED. This is heartbreaking. I hate that I put myself and my parents through this at all. It's so hard bc you can't help someone who doesn't want help but it is crazy that she is allowed to be on social media. She needs time for herself. She needs to focus all of her energy on healing. I'm flabbergasted. It is never to late Eugenia. We are begging you to please get help, but nothing can happen until you see that you need it. You are worthy of help. You are worthy to eat. Screw what anyone else thinks. Do it for you. I know you are exhausted. Please, please, this is terrifying. I don't even know you but this is truly heartbreaking and we don't want to see you keep getting worse.

Do you think she could be using medication to keep up her energy level? That’s the only thing I could think of that could be helping her stay as active as she is.

As a younger millennial I remember when a lot of my friends and schoolmates were talking about her and loved her videos. I also remember when Shane Dawson did a collab with her and how weird that whole video was. I had no idea that she was still doing videos. For years people have been trying to tell her to stop but Ultimately it would take everyone to stop watching her stuff at this point. This is defined something right up your alley content wise and I clicked on this video so fast. She needs to stay off the internet forever and touch grass (as you would say) and seek serious professional help. Ultimately however she has to want it, she's been forced before and it didn't seem to help.

[@j4cksheart753]

My husband and I have been talking about this since the whole trans movement started to ramp up. You wouldn’t affirm someone struggling with anorexia or bulimia which is a body dysmorphia- but you’ll confirm someone they are a different gender and start cutting of body parts. It’s quite literally the same thing…attention seeking behavior from anyone and everyone. Like Hollywood says- there is no such thing as bad press. Everyone needs to literally just ignore these humans and starve them of attention aka stop giving Dylan so much attention, he loves our hate.

[@user-rs1xd4xx2k]

The difference is that Dylan doesn’t use hormones and just had plastic surgery. He isn’t truly trans

[@Moonlight_Shad0w]

You simply can’t compare an eating disorder with being trans. You are born trans, and transitioning helps to even out this sort of inner imbalance. Most eating disorders are caused by trauma. Its a form of self destruction. Being trans is not harmful, being anorexic is. Both are not attention seeking behaviours.

This! I think an even more similar comparison is hypochondria. I have hypochondria, so if I go to the Dr and say this mole on my arm is cancerous and they say "You're right you have cancer, no verification needed!" and then just gives me chemo, is that kind of them or is that malpractice? it's freaking malpractice. Same with the trans stuff. All these docs should lose their licenses.

[@RyanSheckler60]

It’s so sad what an eating disorder can do to your body and I completely agree saying that eating disorders fall on a spectrum but also too that at a certain point it gets to a point where even if she were to put weight on you’ve done way to much damage and your body will never recover from it and you still won’t ever be healthy no metter if you’ve gained 100 pounds or even stayed the same weight

I grew up with watching videos of Eugenia and while I do feel for people wanting to get her help and I support that 100% she does need it, but there is also a big part that a lot of people are missing that she is an adult and has to also come to the realization she needs help.. no amount of petitions to ban her off social media is going to make her realize that. If anything all these petitions are increasing her following and attention. for being unhealthy. It will be an endless cycle and regardless even if she got banned I wouldn't be surprised she would come back still the same. I see the goodness in people's hearts for trying to help her but she is a grown adult and if she wants to live a miserable life that is unhealthy then so be it. That might be harsh to say I wouldnt be surprised if I got back lash from this comment, but the truth is she is probably not going to change and people are just feeding into her and giving her more attention. I hope she does gets help but the probability of that is low in my mind.
