The Best Little Girl In The World - Part 6

[@misslaur81]

to those of you who've given up hope of some kind of state of recovery, my heart goes out to you. i battled anorexia and bulimia since i was 10, and i've been "in recovery" for about 10 years now, with many, many ups and downs, and yes, it's still there in the back of my mind, but *I* am in control. I have a life that I enjoy. when i have a slip, i get right back up again. you don't have to let this disorder control you.

[@gofightwin99]

I used to do both. Watching these kinds of movies makes me realize how far I've come!

[@jackycook64]

The psychologist reminds me of the TV detective Columbo.

[@Lisa13245]

Her phone call made me laugh. I know it was supposed to be emotional and sad but the things she was complaining about would make me laugh.

[@luwanabennett1054]

Not funny to me!

[@sashasvices]

Ugh, me too. I can't believe she started the movie (before the disorder) weighing under 100 pounds and they still told her to lose weight.

[@rinwesley3092]

Love the way she squeezes her hands when she talks to the shrink.

[@hailqueensatan]

Haha this psychiatrist cracks me up. "Nope. Nothing. Just wanted to see if you were listening." Hahaha, great stuff.

[@Mirabella84]

That's really true... if you've suffered deeply from anorexia you can't be cured. The thoughts are always going to be there. The best you can get is being a sober anorexic.

[@lucysocute]

i'm in recovery just sooo happy now i was just in hospital a few weeks ago nd nun of the girls i was with wld ever try to help me fool them not that i wanted to its just so much better 4 u if u try

[@hanafan36]

I wish it was that easy to escape from the hospital.

[@EnchantinglyHaunted]

Like I said, bulimarexia was used to describe anorexic behaviours but with purging in the 70's and 80's (before bulimia nervosa was established as a 'proper' ED). Anorexia was straight restricting. Today, she would be diagnosed as a purging anorexic.

[@merdershewrote371]

that puzzle metaphor is so John Green :P

[@Muirmaiden]

Yes, that's the late Jason Miller (father of Jason Patric, who co-starred with Jennifer Jason Leigh in "Rush") who playd Father Damien Karras in "The Exorcist".

[@EnchantinglyHaunted]

Bulimarexia is a term that researchers used when first studying bulimia. At the time, the term "bulimia nervosa" wasnt universally accepted. "Bulimarexia" is intended to convey the sense of an eating disorder that is similar to anorexia nervosa -- either a subtype of anorexia or a variant of it.

[@foreverinadaydream]

shes very pretty. ive also noticed she looks alot like emma watson when she had long hair =) thanks so much for uploading ive been looking for this for ages!!

[@burntcoffeebeans]

some security they have at these hospitals...

[@gibbseyo]

@clatterxbrainxallyx much applause to you - well done so much. you must be soooo proud of yourself. Use your good work to help others hun. Everyone must be so proud of you x

[@onlykrc]

The ones I've been in are locked down. No bars or fences, but the doors require keys or a code or something.

[@ShockResistor]

What did she say? "The food is disgusting! It smells like toe jam!"??? LOL

[@merdershewrote371]

"coming mother." omfg

[@ost324]

wow- so glad that hospital trip helped, lol

[@AndiSchneider]

yeah, i never have been able to just walk out, that is crazy

[@KGS1188]

@ashleyransley Super true. But people knew a lot less about eating disorders in 1981 than they do now.

[@vanelinify]

Whats Ron doing with his Hogwarts scarf?:o 😂

[@MiszCyndi]

she reminds me of emma watson

[@jusheather08]

she wouldnt have been able to get out that easily, its called lock down

[@skribblegirl]

ally sheedy is one of the friends in the beginning of the movie.

[@Valeriazane]

omg i remember that book! its been sooo long since Ive read it!

[@asmileisspecial]

It's kind of scary that I had the EXACT same convo with my parents when I was admitted. Still not better though. :(

[@PerfectBallerina]

Same here. But then like.. it's more monitored too. And I highly doubt they would have ever allowed the pictures of food like that like in Carol's room.

[@JiGsAwMoFo]

Okay, that comment I made was kinda dumb because I know about body dismorphia from personal experience mostly but i dunno, just thought it was peculiar and depressing that this poor girl doesnt realize that shes cold because shes dying :( (okay now I'm babbling)

[@madonna2285]

oh my gosh, it's hermoine and ron!!!

[@myprettypeace]

It's weird how there are many similarities in every part to my own situation. This part: the phone calls on those frieken phones-except mine were beige, patients coming in to my room to say hello, the annoying asian nurse, except now they use scrubs.

[@mugabezuwane]

operation repo is on in the background while I am watching this and all I hear is "if you don't pay your bill I'm comin for your car and it's gonna be mine"

[@AtlanticGiantPumpkin]

"She needs to not be upset" refuses to give her blankets to warm up "Anorexia is caused by a feeling of a lack of control" proceeds to take away control Like I know the stuff here, it's just the science that Lifetime uses doesn't line up with what they do lol

[@LightofLotus]

lol that is actually hilarious! I totally agree about the iv drip thing! Blood everywhere! Especially from that vien or your arm. Hurts too. Don't do it! x

[@babybunnyberry]

Oh my God! Ron meets Hermione!

[@FadingHippie]

And that does hurt... it feels like your arm in on fire.

[@OceanKingNY]

Isn't she Melanie Mayron, who later played Melissa on "thirtysomething" in the 80s?

[@blueyes6474]

people with an ED are hard core, i feel so bad for her

[@angellightmist1016]

@ashleyransley Its so true... its more mental then anything else.

[@SummerSunshine1988]

@ashleyransley : Actually, it is possible to cure an eating disorder. It takes a lot of work, but it can be done. "Unbearable Lightness" by Portia de Rossi proves this theory. I know, you left your comment a year ago. Just thought I'd add my two cents. Hope you don't mind. :-)

[@spershall]

@1974atkins This was the movie that started my eating disorder when I was in junior high! When I was finally diagnosed at 16, my shrink gave my parents the book, and I saw it on my mom's nightstand and was like, oh, yeah, that's where I learned.

[@ShutUpAndLetMeGo94]

how did she get out of the hospital with out anyone noticing her? There is always a few nurses out side the rooms.

[@nuwavething]

i was waiting for her to spit pea soup at the doctor.

[@merdershewrote371]

I wish subtypes weren't a thing and weight didn't determine diagnosis hence ednos wouldn't exist. you just got treatment appropriate for your personal symptoms... anyone else feel the same??

[@AdrianaArriolaGarcia0404]

@babybunnyberry OMG! that's exactly what i was thinking... before seeing your comment .... hahha i think she is like absolutely the same as Hermione !

[@IlkaZapata]

@LeeniexLooxHoo I was thinking exactly the same thing. In some parts she does look like Emma Watson. I think the hair has a lot to do with it. The face shape is also very similar.

[@spershall]

Also, I *HATE* how she says "boolmarexia!"

[@Roopops]

caesey looks like hermione from harry potter. maybe they're related :D

[@jsrcamp]

ok here I realy liked her father at least he was trying to be nice to her and he knew that she wouldnt eat if they brought her homw, and at this time they realy didnt know much about Aneorexia nervousa(sp)

[@auti34]

most those unit are lock that would never hapopen

[@shoshi8875]

her hair could feed a third world country

[@jedigoddess]

Wow this is a family of winners, you have the constantly gripping parents, the anorexic kid, and the pregnant teen sister hehe.

[@iheartgreatmusic]

this was a while ago though and the book was written even further back...

[@Tracy3686]

LMFAO bulmarexia. i really wish it was really called that.

[@PerfectBallerina]

Wow.. I know. That would NEVER happen at the hospitals I've been in.

[@jbuyens]

Thats what I was thinking too.

[@onlykrc]

And she probably wouldn't have gotten away with the food in her drawers either.

[@JiGsAwMoFo]

Its weird that shes unaware of the fact that shes constantly freezing because she is emaciated. Like the whole movie she is cold and doesnt know why...

[@eatingyumyum]

"better then being fat." being obeists is the same as anarexia just in reverse.

[@spershall]

BULmarexia? Hello, script supervisor?

[@onlykrc]

Where the heck is the supervision in this place?! She can just walk out?!

[@theRealCrazyOne]

@ohthatweirdgirl I know! Like... where are the people doing checks and stuff?

[@Jasmine171819]

My anorexia relapsed many times, and my hair has always been long and thick no matter what. It's just genetics. Mind you this is just a movie, not real life.

[@eatingyumyum]

yes it is read about it. if you are to thin you get sick if you are too fat you are sick moreover, the simalaritys between the two are really surprising.

[@dsmrwtnttn]

He did, it's just called Kessa.

[@NCISsoapaddict]

she looks so like emma watson

[@babybunnyberry]

@ashleyransley I guess in the context of the movie this shows how ignorant the parents are; how much they simply don't understand. They don't know how bad this is.

[@happyhappy06]

What did she say? Bulamarexia?! Dosen't she mean Bulimia?

[@amcardino21]

Bulimarexia, an eating disorder that is characterized by binge eating followed by self-induced vomiting or abuse of cathartic or diuretic drugs, has been defined as both a sequela of anorexia nervosa and a distinct eating disorder.

[@geminifreek23]

@urzulkeenboomhug me too.. i feel the same also...

[@MissLeigh78]

yeah, I hate it when therapists try to help people. so annoying.

[@clairedorbe]

ケイシーかぁいい☆

[@OceanKingNY]

I thought she was Doctor Who with an ED.

[@IlkaZapata]

He was in a hospital not in a clinic specialized in eating disorders. Walking out of a hospital is not that hard. Walking out of a clinic... that's difficult. But people scape from prisons, so I think is not impossible.

[@Urbandecayglambot]

Lmfao! Why would you ask an anorexic patient if they're hungry?

[@koln1996]

Jennifer Jason Leigh.

[@faithoffaith]

@ashleyransley probably a lack of understanding back in those days.

[@Fliptwisttt245]

i really need a carol

[@palefleur]

i ripped out an iv once and it shot blood all over the damn place

[@horsebackrider97]

one thing i don't get is how her hair is so thick..usually it becomes very thin from anorexia.

[@MissLeigh78]

It smells like what??

[@LeeniexLooxHoo]

in some parts she kinda looks like emme watson..but then in other parts she doesn't

[@jessecormie94]

Wat shrink does 2am calls :P

[@JessiFreakinRocks2]

Why am I so scared of her gaining weight?!? Am I the only one that feels that way?!

[@sophminx]

And the moral of the story is - dont talk about cloud puzzles to an anorexic!

[@JennaLeighhh]

Yeah, the dad's an asshole, but he's doing it out of fear. I feel bad for him.

[@GrlLeastLikelyTo]

It's Father Damien Karras!!!

[@MaRIsSaLuVsThAtGuY]

I.like.puzzles.

[@TheAnnikaK]

why can she leave hospital that easy? that's strange

[@deroiste16]

yes she is

[@KelliesKitchen]

happy happy 06 bulmarexcia is bulimia with binging when you cant starve any more you eat a ton then throw up

[@Fliptwisttt245]

yeah its soooooo long!!!!

[@Fliptwisttt245]

something like it smells like ...... germs or somethin

[@FadingHippie]

Actually some doctors do call it that. One of my friends was diagnosed as Bulimarexic.

[@foxxyloxx]

lol!

[@coolbeens21]

Bulemia-rexia is Bulimia. o.o

[@GEhotpants101]

It looks like English, but I can't understand a word of it...

[@pinklisoff]

hahah I know

[@Fliptwisttt245]

seriously?how do u know?
