Not Coping

Can I ask how you coped with that @outlander?

You don't have to say anything if you don't want to.

One question, though if you don't know, that is fine.

Do you know what the difference is between an eating disorder and disordered eating?

Dear @outlander @Birdofparadise8 @tyme ,

I wanted to quickly jump in to remind members of our safety guidelines when discussing eating behaviours as it may be triggering for others. Please read community guidelines (safety).

Hi @holdinghope5

I'm Sorry if I've said the wrong thing.

I don’t really think labels are important and I also don’t like to encourage people to try and find themselves a diagnosis as you can mould your brain into what you believe is an eating disorder. I have met people who had tried to specifically mimic that disorder so i have to be carefully about what I say

@Birdofparadise8I had to find ways to manage my behaviours in a healthy manner, and try to understand why I had that relationship to food in the first place. Once I found out some reasoning I was able to work on them and find healthier ways to manage it instead of resorting to the unhealthy behaviours. I still do suffer from disordered eating but I know the reasons behind it and I try and manage it the best I can. It was much like self harming for me.

If you research the difference it will come up. Again I have to be careful not to encourage someone to go looking for a diagnosis or to try and fit into a specific category. But yes I do know the difference between the both of those

I wasn't trying to do that. I don't want to mimic anyone. Sorry if that came across @outlander.

I'm just curious to learn about it more, so I don't go too far into it.

Thank you @outlander

How is work?
