(Delete if too weird, too heavy or simply not allowed)
I loved the psychological analysis of Jason Todd through his story in Arkham and I love the accuracy and the explanation of every possible disorder or trauma that the events on the game/comic caused him.
I was wondering (and I'm not really sure if it's even canon or fanon) the idea of Joker feeding Jason rotten, poisoned and for sure other inedible things during the tortures. By that idea, what kind of aftermath would have left in Jason's mind?
Hello! I'm very happy you loved my analysis.
I am a little inept as to the comics but I have watched videos that explain the Arkham Genesis story as well as just reading the Jason Todd wiki page so I'll try my best to answer.
Based on the videos that showed comic pieces of Genesis, Joker fed Jason inedible items such as things like dead rodents, poison, etc. Considering this would have been happening for nearly 2 years this greatly would impact his relationship with food.
Survivors of long-termed forced consumptions often develop eating disorders or a straight aversion to food in general. For Jason, food could be a trigger, associated with his captivity and feelings of helplessness. He might experience anxiety or panic at the sight or smell of certain foods, or even at the thought eating itself.
To my knowledge and what I've read on him through wikis, Jason was much short and weighed less than the average child during his stint as Robin. Taking that into consideration, this makes his experience of being fed rotten or poisoned food even more damaging, given his body was already vulnerable and malnourished.
Now as an early 20 year old man, given he's 200 pounds surely this means process, right? Well that's only half right, it is without a doubt remarkable. However, the trauma associated with food and eating might still linger hindering any real progress in recovery. Besides, I have it on good authority this change was due to two things: 1. Motivation by a desire to distance himself from the vulnerability of his past trauma and 2. Sheer will to be strong enough defeat and Batman.
Diagnosing him with an eating disorder, I might be inclined to say Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder. The unique thing about this disorder is it is not caused by a negative body image. It's characterized by a failure to meet certain nutritional needs leading to weight loss, nutritional deficiency, or even being required to use feeding or oral supplements.
Anorexia Nervosa or Bulimia Nervosa with trauma as its factor. Now these disorders are linked to a lack of self esteem and body image. However they can develop as maladaptive coping mechanisms as a result to trauma. I could see Jason exhibiting behaviors associated with those disorders as a way to exert control over his body and environment.

My ebbing physical prowess and strength
noticeably decreases in one direction.
I take lock, stock and barrel
to revisit good ole days of yore
quite conscious undeclared state of war
prevails within body electric of troubadour
now seated at his Macbook Pro another reasonably rhyming poem
I hope to score
signalled by satisfaction
qua eye of the tiger doth roar
today February 18, 2023.
Since January thirteenth of this year
(two thousand and twenty three),
yours truly suddenly feels
long in the tooth (actually
I wear dentures), nevertheless
yours truly languishes within
self made prison and feels auld,
a shy person, who rarely exhibited bold lack the benefit of powder milk biscuits,
he whose decrepit body and
gnarled hands ice cold
rigor mortis virtuous vice grip extolled
inoculated against coronavirus
(COVID-19) motherlode
staving off silent grim reaper
swinging scythe catching
(in Old English, scythe spelled siðe)
another mortal into his fold
analogous to discovered vein of mined gold
mine lovely bones clutched in deathly hold
ore yonder church bell knolled
anonymous sexagenarian
(any strong resemblance between said poet
whose dead head lolled),
and once living person purely coincidental)
death and decay, I lichen to mold
scant personal possessions outsold
to highest bidder courtesy
subtle nod auctioneer told across webbed wide wold.
Dead weatherbeaten and fatigued soul
with absolute zero regret
no longer being alive,
especially when endurance and stamina
took kamikaze nose dive
formerly buzzfeeding
desiccated honeycomb hive where I bumbled along
and learned how to boogie woogie and jive
in tandem with former anxiety riddled psyche
need no longer worry
his existence perfect example
how hardship did misthrive
death be not proud penultimate quest
since adolescence (think anorexia nervosa)
he did (unsuccessfully) strive.
At long last... beastie boy attained nirvana
routing hellish existential crisis
courtesy earth, wind and fire
rendered null and void celibate journey
knight in shining armor
forever staind and tarnished
compliments verboten extramarital whoopie.
Herewith I forthwith take poetic license
linkedin to long line of mamas and the papas
whose music died
when passenger(s) violently perished
courtesy flaming inferno
analogous to Le(a)d Zeppelin 129
christened Hindenburg.
Along similar blurred lines
foo fighter manned stoned temple pilot
Jefferson Airplane qua Starship
gracefully and slickly
deliberately maneuvered crash test dummy
immediately annihilated upon impact
smack dab into puddle of mudd,
yet lo and behold as a foreigner
and survivor yours truly eluded dire straits.
Oz (zee oz born during
baby boom generation)
and suppose during
whirlwind Kansas tour,
while snatching forty winks
in toto working out kinks,
I experienced revelation
regarding divine creator - Egypt me
never securing life, liberty
and pursuit of happiness
elusive weltanschauung as understanding,
the mysterious Sphinx,
yes essentially zilch joie de vivre
minus high jinks
aptly summarizes mein kampf methinks
my life and hard times,
whereby vitriol pelted me
courtesy those rat finks.
Nihilistic zeitgeist
apocalyptic outlook sacrificed
no redemption no matter
kidnapped without ransom
concerning grateful dead heist
how figuratively purposelessness sliced
unlike mum man crucified Jesus Christ.

Disorders That Can Be Treated by Psychotherapy
Tumblr media
When a person speaks with a qualified therapist in a secure and private setting to explore and understand feelings and behaviours of his own and develop coping mechanisms, it is referred to as psychotherapy or "talk therapy." During these therapy sessions, the therapist frequently guides the conversation and may bring up issues from the patient's history or present as well as their experiences, thoughts, feelings, or relationships. The therapist also helps draw connections and offer insight.
Psychotherapy is a well-liked and adaptable treatment since studies have shown that it is beneficial in reducing symptoms of a variety of mental diseases. Additionally, it can be utilised by organisations, families, and couples. A mix of medicine and treatment is considered to be the best practice for treating many mental health disorders. Both individual and group talk therapy can be beneficial. Even those who may not have a mental health diagnosis but are simply dealing with difficult life circumstances may find this form of therapy helpful (grief, divorce, etc.).
Depression
A person with depression experiences prolonged feelings of sadness or is unable to enjoy any activity. People suffering from depression may find it difficult to work, study, or care for themselves and their families. Depression can be brought on by many factors in various individuals. The treatment for mild depression is psychological therapy. Moderate depression can be treated by both psychological therapies and medications. The majority of those who suffer from more severe depression will require both psychological counselling and antidepressant medication.
Anxiety
When your anxiety starts getting out of control and begins to interfere with your life, it’s an anxiety disorder. About one in three people will experience an anxiety problem. It can be upsetting and challenging to live your life how you want if you have an anxiety illness. However, there are effective anxiety prevention strategies and therapies available. A person experiencing anxiety disorder feels intense sensations of concern, uneasiness, or fear. Anxiety counselling in Notting Hill is the suggested course of action for anxiety disorders (usually cognitive behavioural therapy). One can receive excellent psychological therapy sessions from a licensed healthcare provider or online psychiatrist or psychologist.
Addiction
A health condition known as addiction occurs when you are unable to stop doing something bad for yourself or other people. Addictions to alcohol, cigarettes, narcotics, and gambling are the most prevalent. Addiction frequently lasts a very long time since it is chronic. Direct treatment can be given by a psychiatrist. To assist you, they might also organise a variety of other services. Every psychiatrist has received training in the evaluation and treatment of addiction. Some psychiatrists have additional training in addiction medicine or psychiatry.
Feeling of bereavement
Counselling provided to people who have experienced a loss—typically the death of a loved one—to support the bereaved through the grieving and healing processes is known as bereavement counselling in Notting Hill, sometimes known as grief counselling. It may also be given to survivors before death to assist them to deal with a terminal disease, as well as to medical personnel following the passing of a senior for whom they had worked.
It may be provided by clergy, social workers, nurses, or marriage and family therapists who have undergone additional training in working with persons who are grieving. Grief counselling is intended for those who are experiencing a typical or straightforward grief reaction.
Eating disorders
Eating disorders are aberrant eating and exercise habits that significantly disrupt your daily life. You might, for instance, consume meals in really little quantities or an uncontrolled manner. Additionally, you could worry about your diet, weight, or looks. Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder are the three most prevalent eating disorders. Another eating disorder, known as avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), is more common among youngsters.
Relationship Issues
Relationship counselling in Notting Hill can help you not only strengthen your bond but also your ability to connect with and comprehend others around you. You can find new ways to express yourself and your feelings by working with a relationship therapist to help you break free from ingrained, destructive behavioural patterns. Relationship problems may be addressed individually or through couple’s therapy, a style of counselling that makes use of talking therapy in a way that is intended to benefit two people. It is up to you and what you hope to get out of counselling.
In a safe setting like therapy, you can learn more about the conscious and unconscious thought processes that underlie a lot of your beliefs, ideas, and feelings. In a safe setting like therapy, you can learn more about the conscious and unconscious thought processes that underlie a lot of your beliefs, ideas, and feelings. Lynn Arnold at Notting Hill Counselling and Psychotherapy is a professional and compassionate psychotherapist and counsellor, who guides and treats you throughout the sessions and helps you in overcoming your disorders or other psychological issues.

I hate to had these persisting depression. That shit it's not special, this week i fought with my dad.
It's the paternal figure i have a issues to choose a relationship and my ex fiance was a mix of my mom and he. I cried in silence, having insomnia problems.
My older cousins disgusted at me and my mom, i know, I can't change all the bullshit when my young adult years.
I'm a suicide survivor. Even i don't have those cuts on my wrists. But i gained weight, i had bulimia nervosa and anorexia when I got really mad. My family is toxic but I'm a person I love them. Always be here. But i confessed my mom if my cousin are broke, i won't help them.
I just got tired to listen nagging or be disappointed at me.
I am alive. But that crap doesn't care, i cried so loud when my niece have bulimia and my oldest one having take acid pills. The only thing broke me was my inter personal relationships.
I didn't draw and write. Having hoared parents and my self can't be helped. But thank goodness, i am having the objective to learn english for write and knowing more my second language.

Me and my soulmate are something like Seb and Anthony. We have really strong chemistry between us.
We have kind of ✨bromance✨ and she's Anthony to my Sebastian ❤️ she's Tom Holland to my Jake Gyllenhaal. She's Sam to my Bucky. And Venom to my Brock ✌🏻 Cuz I have her under my skin.
It's kinda funny how we met. It was in November 2017 and we both were deep in shits. Like REALLY DEEP MAN. We both went through anorexia Nervosa. So we met at the psychiatric ward in a hospital in Pilsen.
And now I can tell for both of we're out of it.
She's still struggling with a weight a little bit now but her mind is clear ✨
We are really dynamic duo. 🦾😎🔥

[TW for discussion of eating disorders. This post concerns anorexia nervosa, and is a resource for writers.]
I’ve seldom seen good resources in writing characters with anorexia, which irks me greatly as an anorexia survivor. While this isn’t that post, the ‘dos/don’ts/how to research’ (though that is coming later), here’s a quick tip. Anorexia works on a mentality of “I’m not sick enough to deserve help”. Your characters may recognise that they’ve lost weight, but they won’t be able to tell how much unless they’re using the scales by the day. They may not necessarily do that – anorexia is not a lifestyle choice, and isn’t necessarily a numbers fixation. For that matter, characters may have terrible, terrible anorexia, but not be emaciated. Anorexia does not make you a skeleton by default. You can be overweight or normal weight, and have terrible anorexia. The only numerical tell is rapid weight loss, rather than consistently low weight. Please don’t use ‘anorexic’ as a byword for ‘thin’ – they’re not the same, and to use it like that is shaming those with the illness, not to mention body shaming others. However, because of the entrenched cultural belief that anorexic people are thin, most anorexic people do not believe they are thin enough to be sick. Most anorexic people believe that others are thinner, so must be sicker. And as such, they continue to suffer from an awful illness.
Well, let me put it this way. Of all the survivors of any eating disorder I’ve ever met, there has not been a single one who hasn’t tried to describe it as ‘mild’ or otherwise soften the blow. There is an expectation that ‘I was just a bit bulimic’ or ‘I had/have mild anorexia’. No. All eating disorders—pica, bulimia, binge-eating disorder, ARFID, orthorexia, anorexia, night eating syndrome, BED, and the remaining OSFEDs—all eating disorders are severe by nature. It’s a spectrum of ‘less severe’ to ‘more severe’ in the same sense of ‘had a finger hacked off with a chainsaw’ as opposed to ‘had an arm hacked of with a chainsaw’. Either way, it���s not what anyone would want; and the degree of awfulness isn’t determined by weight.
So, for writers, if you want to depict a character as anorexic, go for it. Just do your research, don’t show them to be skeletal, and have them attempt to call their eating disorder, if they even acknowledge it, ‘mild’/‘not that bad’. But make it very clear, though not through fetishisation of weight loss or hospitalisation, that it is bad. That they feel inadequate. That they’re constantly cold. That they feel isolated. That their hair is brittle and thin. That they can’t focus. That their vision goes black when they stand up. That their intrusive thoughts are so loud that they’re articulated in a separate voice to their own. You don’t need them to be emaciated or wallowing in their disease to show that it’s a struggle. While it’s not a good idea for them to be shown as without hope of recovery, please read survivors’ stories, and make it clear that they have scars.
It doesn’t have to be a major part of the narrative. People with AN and other EDs get on with life. They’re strong enough to stand up, move on, despite the voice in their head. EDs don’t define us in the least. But they aren’t something to be ignored. The story doesn’t have to be about the character’s being anorexic, and the anorexia is absolutely not a personality trait (though there are some personality traits common to anorexia. These do not include vanity). But the anorexia will be a force that is present in the character’s life, whether they’re recovered or not, and the character will almost certainly attempt to brush it off as mild, especially if they’re in a normal/above weight range.

Waste away
Watch your body fall to pieces.
It will not be the first to give up on you,
but it won't be the last either.
When your nose bleeds,
resist the urge to scream.
It is only because all you've eaten
in the past three days was a grape.
Calcium deficiency.
Your skin will turn yellow
and your nails will be brittle.
It's not beautiful.
You will not look like the plastic
photo lies on the magazine covers.
Your body is consuming itself.
Maybe it sounds like poetry,
but it tastes like fear.
The fear of gaining weight,
the fear of not being perfect.
Your heart will weaken,
your kidneys could fail.
If you die of anorexia nervousa,
it will not be beautiful.
It will not be poetic.
It is grotesque and painful.
The doctors will shove tubes down your throat
just to keep you alive,
while your mind screams
we can't have those calories.
How do you waste away?
It's easy to do.
Hate every piece of yourself
until it's so small you can't feel it.

Writers’ References For the Accurate Portrayal of Common Eating Disorders
This has been a common request, so I decided it was finally time to share my resources on the accurate portrayal of eating disorders with my followers.  A LOT of popular media gets this wrong, but we owe it to survivors to portray their experiences with authenticity and respect.  Happy writing!
General:
Eating Disorder Myths
