Off My Chest
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.

Yes, vomiting and taking laxatives to lose weight are both symptoms of eating disorders. FYI vomiting and diarrhea will make you lose water weight. You're not doing your body any favors by using those methods to "get lighter." Fitness, health, and body image are interrelated but they are not the same thing. You should talk to your doctor and be honest about what you're feeling and what you're doing.
This is so important, I just wanted to pull it out and highlight it. Also they're a lot easier to deal with if you have other people to help you.
