I'm fine... - Eating Disorder Short Film

Eating disorders are often hidden, but they are more prevalent in today's society than you may think. There is no 'one size fits all' mould for who could be silently struggling, and sometimes, just being there for someone is enough.
You are worth it. Recovery is possible.

[@Storytime_tok]

You are beautiful. You don’t have to be paper thin to be beautiful, you don’t have to be like somebody to be beautiful, you just have to be you. Because YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL! Instead of focusing on your insecurities focus on the parts of you that make you you! You are more than you know you are. You don’t have to be perfect because in Gods eyes we are perfect. If you dis yourself you are dissing God. But anyways I waffled a bit but I love you. And it gets better. Eventually ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@maiacedrola8912]

I developed an eating disorder at the age of 4-5 which then ended about ages 7-8. It was caused by my grandparents making my eating environment unsafe. Punishing me when I didn’t eat, not letting me leave the table, eating biscuits in front of me while I was sat forced to stare at my dinner. I ate less and less, refusing even when my mum tried to hand feed me. I cried when my parents tried to motivate me to eat more. I became skin and bone. Due to the fact that they were eating cakes, biscuits, sweets right there, made them a reward when I finally forced my dinner down my throat. Which then became an addiction to sugar-y things because in the back of my mind, sugar = I’m good. Even now, I'm still trying to fix the issues I have with sugar. Now due to my sugar addiction, I have very high cholesterol in my blood at the age of 14. I hate my grandparents.

[@blazingstar9638]

I had the same experience. It is pretty standard for the old school way ❤

i came here to trigger myself but somehow this video isnt triggering its comforing and relatable in a way, sometimes i just need a break form it all

“i came here to trigger myself”….why do we even do this? or lookin this shit up when already feeling shit…its addictive and makes absolutely no sense… (i am doing the same thing way too often)

Nah this hits home a little too hard. Almost passed out the other day man shit is wild

[@BrainTribune]

It is bad to have this struggle and what's even worse is that people think you're just catastrophising and giving it more than it deserves. This is a disorder where you lose yourself in a battle. It's either you deprive yourself or you you eat until you're nauseous. There is no in between 😢. And the mental/psychological damage is real.

[@Nightbloom101]

OMG NOT THE CHLOE TING WORKOUT IN THE BACKGROUND... literally so relatable...

[@MayaKewley10]

I’m currently in recovery but I was surviving on 200 calories per day with 3hours of exercise, it isn’t healthy guys please don’t put yourself through this

I am going through bulima nervosa , my body feels like its rotting. At close to night i binge eat after just taking a bite of dinner. I started powerlifting becuase it mackes me happy , but i cant even enjoy it without feeling like my body is giving up. I am trying to recover but i am just scared of gaining the wight i have allready lost.

[@uauauuauauahahhaha]

i feel you. hope you're doing all right 🫶

[@writingisfun9842]

I know this may seem obvious but hard, really hard to accept, but every body needs a certain amount of weight to stay healthy. Losing too much is harmful. Maybe gain some muscle and healthy weight slowly, with the help of a doctor. Good luck.

What I would give to restrict again

[@oliwialachowska479]

Feel you ;( take care

[@Alexaslayss]

Yall it's getting worse I'm restricting more and more I went from doing really good in recovery no calorie counting but I was eating enough. Now I'm eating no more then 1200 calories and only eating 2-3 times a day and walking atleast 5 laps a day

[@spongebob468]

I eat like 500 calories or less everyday

[@Alexaslayss]

@@spongebob468 please get help I was once doing the same and it was awful. Your metabolism slows down, you lose Lot of weight. I'm sure you're probably stressed out on holidays because of the amount of calories and trust me when you goner your body and craving you are confident and actually have energy you can do so much more. Now tell me would you rather have a super unhealthy skinny body? Or would you rather have a healthy body and be happy?

[@nobleh1]

Yes and it will get worse@@yuqi_z1514 and everyone else. Reach out and get some help before you are really lost to this disease which could kill you. You are loved and you can recover. Whatever has happened to you it shouldn't have. I'm so sorry but remember you can recover from all this I promise. And what awaits in recovery will be beyond all you imagined but you have to do the work. Get well soon. X

The eating dreams are real

[@zeekay3205]

Felt this one ❤

[@hannjojo]

I dont know Some days i eat good but most days not much I dont know what to eat, its to Exhausting to think what i could eat. I have no more motivation on shopping food or cooking. But social anxiety is kicking there also cause iam spending 90% just on my own and dont wanna talk to anyone about my feelings

[@UnknownASPD]

It is Always so weird to see people struggle so much, at my bmi 12 i literally couldn't feel that. Yeah i was tired but i could also do 25.000 steps and walk the stairs running

[@SussyBaka_0561]

its not weird to see ppl struggle at all thats the reality of it and im sure u already know, at bmi 12 u were already too far into ed that u got so used to that feeling so it didnt affect that much, thats just not the case for others

My BMI is 17,5 and ITS hard to walk the stairs. Or go a walk for longer than 10 min.

[@sophibells]

is 600 calories a day enough?

[@crabsdicie]

The average amount of calories is 2000 for women and 2300 for men I’m sure. Even a babies eat more than 600 calories..l I don’t know if you have an Ed and you’re struggling. But having faith, baby steps with eating small bits of food at a time helps... you notice health benefits and that you actually won’t become fat with eating a “normal amount of food” daily. I am here for you

[@sophibells]

babies have more then 600? didn't know that, I'll try to eat a bit more slowly.

[@crabsdicie]

@@sophibells You mean you'll eat more slowly as in carefully? And making sure you have a good amount of calories to at least keep you healthy?

[@notyourmom6996]

yes

[@24k_unique75]

@@sophibellsI am 13 years old and I eat 1700 calories a day, please eat more 600 calories is not enough, even if you seem fine now the long term effects are so bad including death. I know it seems harsh but its so worth it when you are eating a healthy amount, adn if you are scared about gaining weight it wont even be that much

Im sry but what is this, this is so cringy, I'm actually crying

[@cucumbersack]

How is this in any way cringy is everything now days js cringe? This is a serious disorder ppl suffer with and it's clearly to raise awareness. Even if u find it cringe keepmit to yourself bc some people worked hard to film and produce this video

[@SophiaSutter-n3d]

What the hell.. this came up on my for you page for some reason and I clicked on it because the because of the title I was like, what the heck what is that even mean?? Then it was just this random girl and then I was like Bruh like why is she so skinny and then she just goes to school and then like she throws out her food for some reason and this like literally this whole thing is so confusing Lol sorry if it’s hard to understand, I used voice text

[@starry.shadow.92]

She has an eating disorder, likely anorexia based on the video. People with anorexia will literally starve themselves to lose weight. Anorexic people are skinny because they starve themselves. Don't be so quick to judge. Have a good one ☺️

[@SophiaSutter-n3d]

Sorry, I didn’t even now that was a thing my bad

[@alicebeauregard1041]

is this a skit? is it a joke? bc that’s not funny, eds are a quite serious subject

No way does she look anorexic !

[@hellhammerwantsme]

but she is!!!😁😁😁

[@SussyBaka_0561]

anorexia isnt about how a person fucking looks, its about the mindset and your relationship with food and urself, many ppl with anorexia go unnoticed because of that fucking sentence
