Mental Health and Eating Disorders, day 3!
Hey guys! I'm cohosting with Victoria and this'll be day 3 of the mental health and eating disorders discussion
For today's question, can you tell us about some typical eating disorders pattern?
@Emily619
Well, guess I'll start this one off!
There are many different types of ED's, but the main ones are anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and OSFED (other specified feeding/eating disorder, formerly known as EDNOS). Other disorders include ARFID (avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder), and pica (eating non-food items).
I hesitate to describe them in further detail just to avoid triggering language!
For me i see different foods as either good or bad which is an unhealthy way of looking at food. I also eat the same foods in the same order every time. I never just eat without thinking about it which is the eventual goal of recovery.
clue for forum hunt: to :)
