I've just suddenly realised that I'm putting myself down due to my eating disorder. I say things to myself like how fat I am. I just wanted to to know is that what other people call "Ed" or something totally different.

Hey there @16sundayz thanks for your post and I am sorry to hear that your disorder is having a negative affect on the way you speak to yourself. You're not alone, I think quite a few of our community members have to reign in their self-talk I am sure a few of them will jump in soon with some ideas 
My understanding is ED is the shortened form for "eating disorder". We have a lot of info on Eating Disorders here, in addition to our wonderful forum users insight as well 🙂
Have you got any support with your self-talk, such as a therapist or peer support group? Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi @16sundayz @Former-Member
ive been diagnosed with an eating disorder. It's really difficult for me to control. But I'm getting help from a very good dietitian through my local hospital.
I hope others will join in the conversation with you.
welcome 😊

I was only diagnosed late last year and my psychologist is away until the 28th and I'm not seeing him until 20th February but do intend on asking him more about it.
