Not my TikTok, but this girl brought up something that I went through too, and I thought it put a voice to something that I used to experience back when I restricted every day. When I first started restricting, I was using it to bodily express some distress that I did not feel I was allowed to voice. But if people noticed I was losing weight drastically or not eating, that meant that their concern for me, their caring about me, was valid.
Learning healthier ways to seek out the support I need from those around me has been a lengthy process. So has learning to express my pain via self-caring rather than self-harming processes. And my journey is strictly my own. But this is very much something I went through.
I think there's a certain pressure to be "the sickest" among many ED sufferers who are motivated by body issues to be and I think that it's something that's worth addressing in yourself if you relate to this. What would it take for you to shift your point of pride into self-love and self-care? What would positive, sustainable attention and support look like for you, and how can you start getting it in your life? If it's not accessible to you right now, how can you plan to get it in your future?
If anyone has anything to add to this girl's comment about how to bring up concern about a friend or start the conversation, I'd welcome all input and productive additions. What are some things that have worked for you? Or what are some things you wish family members/friends had done differently?

please tell me why i shouldnt chew and spit everything i eat
Well, that's difficult, because I can't find reasons to recover for you. I know it's hard to find and stick to them, but you've got to do it for yourself.
Could it be because if you're craving food to chew on, your body knows you need it as fuel and in order to truly achieve the lengthy process of creating love for yourself you need to honor your body's needs to make you healthy and well-nourished?
Could it be because you don't want every second of your time and every ounce of your precious energy to go to your eating disorder rather than to meditation, personal reflection, art, a fulfilling career, fun with your friends, time spent with your pet, or whatever else matters to you? Hell, maybe there's a whole world of things that will one day matter to you that you have yet to discover because you're still putting so much time and effort into your ED.
Maybe it's just to preserve your personal dignity. I briefly tried chewing and spitting as an alternative to bingeing, so I can tell you that at least in my experience, I didn't enjoy it. I didn't fully enjoy the food while I was chewing it, knowing what I had to do, and I didn't enjoy the self-disgust I felt when I saw the chewed-up mix of food and drool slide down into the trash can, either. Sorry to get graphic on you, but I make a practice of being brutally honest on this blog, and I felt disgusted with myself when I chewed and spit. For me it was just a further visual of the massive amounts of food I was trying to put into my body, but with an extra layer of feeling gross during the time spent hanging my head over a disposal receptacle, sticking my tongue out, and watching the chewed glop land in the trash. I bet you don't feel great when you're doing it either. Maybe you're struggling with some other disorders that makes the dysfunction feel good, like another method of self-harm to punish yourself and express how you feel inside. But if that's true, it's not healthy in the long run, and I bet that deep down you know that.
Truthfully, you've got to want an end to the cycle bad enough to fight through how fucking hard it is to cope with what sounds like a multifaceted disorder for you. And you've got to create reasons that are specific to yourself. I wish you all the best in that and hope that you can find ways to keep moving yourself toward recovery and get the support that you need.

How can starving be bad if it's the only thing that makes me feel like I'm doing something right in my life?

I am 17 years old. I was diagnosed in April with anorexia, but I already knew I had it for about two years. I didn't do anything about it. I'm learning about myself and how to love myself, how to eat better and how to overcome the disorder. but I'm so afraid, afraid that I'm not strong enough. :(
Hi there! You're definitely not alone in feeling afraid. Choosing recovery is overwhelming, especially at the beginning. The good news is, you don't have to achieve all of it all at once. Those early baby steps are going to feel monumentally hard at times, but that's why it's okay to take it one step at a time.
It sounds like you've started a very important step - healing the disordered thinking as opposed to just the eating patterns. Recovering your self-worth will make you want to be healthier, and will help you find reasons to choose self-caring strategies when you crave self-destructive ones. I promise you're worth that!
I'd recommend you make some little lists and put them in a place where you can easily see them. (I had a friend who posted her affirmations on her bedroom wall.) List the positive traits about yourself that you want to nurture. (If you're deep in self-loathing you may have a hard time finding these traits - it's okay to add to your list as you go, and it's okay to have a hard time starting!) List number two incorporates non-body-based traits and pursuits that you would like to strengthen in yourself as you heal. This will help you to remember your potential as you heal, and will give you motivation to grow stronger so that you can continue to nurture these positive traits. List number three is just a list of affirmations that helps you to feel grounded, positive, or safe. These are things you can tell yourself to re-wire your brain into feeling positively about yourself. You can use these at any time, but especially when you're in a particularly hard moment.
If you're working with a therapist, I'd recommend you go over this list with them so that you can get a professional's input on what's most productive to your recovery. If you decide a goal or value needs to be changed to help you heal later on, that's okay.
You can also look at these lists when things have all gone wrong. Rather than beating yourself up, anchor yourself to these points as things you believe in about yourself. Once you get into a calmer moment, reflect on what would help you behave in a manner that aligns with your healing goals and with the positive things you value in yourself. Tell yourself that if you find yourself in a similar situation again, you can always try again with the things you have learned. Making mistakes and learning and growing are part of the process - they're human.
In other words, it's a journey, not a sprint. You don't have to be "strong enough" every single day. (None of us are, honestly. We all have our better and our worse moments.) Instead, you have to average "strong enough" over the span of a lengthy recovery journey. If it seems really hard for you, know that you're not alone. Just muster the strength for the progress you're able to make in any given moment, and let it add up little by little. I believe in you!

i got covid like two-ish months ago and dropped so much weight. i almost got below 200 but went back to eating normally and have bounced around between 207-210. last i checked i’m 205 🥳 still nowhere near where i want to be, but god. getting under 200 for the first time in years feels like such a feat. i want it so badly.

I wish I was naturally skinny so that eating wouldn't feel like giving up.
