I don’t have an eating disorder but god did I relate to everything you said about self-hatred! I can’t even imagine what it would take to challenge such a core belief especially when the logical part of the brain KNOWS that those beliefs are unfounded, but the “inner child” doesn’t.

Same here!

Hi Mia. Its a lifelong curse. The body dysmorphia just gets worse, not only on the body but on the face. I got botox during a toxic relationship and I can't even get a full picture of my face. Also the pain on joints due the ongoing stress. You are the best🥰❤️

Such an important video. Been dealing with this lately, wondering what's the point if I can't even stand myself - ED or not, with heavy suicidal ideation these last few days (despite being medicated and working with a therapist). You make so much sense as always, and your empathy shines through the screen and reaches my heart and so many others'. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Mia.

oh my goodness!!!! yes...and I always cry during that song!

Yea, i like the terminology- "unaliving". ... been a couple years on and the anorexia is not controlling my life. The self-hatred isn't dominant now, but when life gets hard unaliving can still feel so tempting

Winding-down for bed while listening ❤

I never relate to self hate thoughts but I definitely have the thoughts that nobody wants a relationship with me. They don't really want to be friends. Most people will just leave me anyway. Very good video Mia

This argument Is very helpful to me, also with anxiety in general. If my negative thoughts are a sympton of something, then they are not reliable. You start thinking "mmh maybe they are not a true representation of things". You still feel them and they still...weel, suck, but you open the door to the existence of a different Truth I think it's a huge step

[@pillipuu]

yesss. so spot on. especially this idea that i am deeply flawed and horrible inside and out, and everyone else is so lovable and shiny and perfect.

Such excellent content! I related to what you said so very much. Thank you, Mia! ❤️

Hello Mia. It's after 10:30 pm for me

[@SinclairCook-j1n]

CW: Medically Assisted Death / ED Thoughts I was wondering if you might be willing to talk about Canada's likely expansion of medically assisted death for eating disorder sufferers? I saw a video about this titled "47 and anorexic; Canada will soon allow her help to die" and was very disturbed because the woman said her main reason for wanting medically assisted death is that she didn't want to gain weight. I recognize this is a complex and difficult topic so totally understand if you don't want to touch it, but I just saw this video and found it very concerning and it felt like something you could potentially have valuable thoughts on. Thank you and appreciate your content!

Worst symptom to me is undoubtably heart issues. So awful, so scary. You can argue and deny many facets of having an ED but the physical organ of the heart never lies.

[@Aylinmelissaa]

Hey, would you mind sharing what kinds of heart issues you’ve experienced? I’m trying to figure out if what I’m experience is related to my ED past

[@alwaysamber4960]

Hi there. Yes, my heart was kicking me in the middle of the night. Especially if I got up to go to the toilet. I knew it wasn’t right but I just kept telling myself it was anxiety. I had previously experienced episodes of bradycardia and I knew that was an ED symptom however I didn’t realise the opposite was true. My heart was literally the first thing the doctors picked up on when I was in hospital. My postural stats were bad. Basically that means your heart can’t cope with movement and will therefore increase when standing or doing anything. Mine was more than doubling. Even after being released from Hospital after a month (although it was doing better) it had still not returned to normal. It took a long while for it to go back to some sort of normal. I would advise you to talk to your doctor if you can. Just to have a chat and get checked out. Not sure what country you are in but finding a good GP is the best thing you can do.
