BED not being taken seriously...
I just am so sad at how the discussion around BE seems to not be seen as an actual issue to quite a lot of people, or seen as a "choice" when you simply just stop eating...
Not sure how you guys with BED deal with that kinda stigma...
Hey @Daylily1 ❤️
It can be upsetting really.
Do you wish to share more about your experience or thoughts on the stigma?
@Optimisticempath
Thanks for the response. Well the stigma I feel that surrounds BED is how people think its just people being greedy, disgusting, and should stop if they really wanted to.
I stress eat, and this is a very addictive habit to have. I just wish one could openly admit that they Stress eat and BED and people taking their issue like an actual addiction that needs not judgmental responses, but one of understanding...
@Daylily1
I can totally understand how upsetting it is when people don't realise how badly their invalidating comments can affect us
You do deserve to feel validated and for your struggles to be seen as real as they are, I'm very sorry you had to experience this stigma but I'm also very proud of you for speaking about it
Please never stop seeking support, your struggles are valid, stress eating, BED is real, your feelings matter ❤️
Sending lots of kindness your way
