RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

my parents already are suspicious, i still gotta tell them why. so, i have a really negative body image and perception of myself and ive been sticking my finger in my mouth down my throat and taking laxatives in hopes itll make me lighter. ive lost about 8 pounds so far i think. one time, i lost 10 pounds but i forgot why, my weight fluctuates a lot tho because im on the younger side.

ive been doing this for 3 months now and my parents are taking me to a doctor. is there a chance im anorexic/bulimic or something?

im like 180 lbs so im really fat and i like food because of how fat i am.

Do you have a purging disorder maybe? I can’t diagnose but it sounds like that and body dysmorphia.
