For about a year I’ve been struggling with eating I’ve hated my body for a very long time I have to be careful with what I say I don’t know how much I can share but its not eating and doing dangerous diets and then binge eating I really hate my body I do I know I should be looking after it but why should I when my body’s given me my chronic illness I hate the way my body looks and more I hate what my body is going through I just hate me and my body I would do anything to be skinny again but my stupid ovaries swell and it makes me look more fat I’m fat anyway but it just makes me more fat I just hate my body I really do hate it

    hey as someone who struggles with their eating i can relate to you. i hear how much this is impacting you and im rly sry to hear this. have you ever heard of beat the eating disorder organisation? they help ppl with eating disorders/issues i use them and theyre rly helpful and kind. i am always here for you bc you deserve to be cared abt and heard ❤️
    ppl dont always need advice. sometimes all they rly need is a hand to hold. an ear to listen. and a heart to understand them. 🧸

    Hey @eylah I did get in contact with childline but they were just asking me stupid questions and I was just getting more wound up I messaged SHOUT they sort of get it but I said I didn’t want help I still want to eat the way I am because that’s the only thing I can be in control of right now I have heard of beat but because I am not diagnosed with a eating disorder I didn’t think that I could message them but personally I don’t think what I’m doing is bad it’s just my parents are getting a bit worried now and keep going on at me etc but thank you and I’m here for you if you need anything💕
