As someone that struggles to get calories this is more inspirational than you'd think

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

is it valid to be jealous of someone else's problems?

for me losing weight is a nightmare. definitely have an eating disorder, why couldn't it be the eating disorder that makes me skinny?!??

I don't know what valid means in this context, but everyone is fighting their own conflicting battles.

I think it's natural to desire easier problems in times of struggle, but to perceive others' struggles as preferable is a means of avoidance rather than confronting and adequately reconciling the root or core cause(s). 2¢
