Anyone else?

What illness? Being positive could help especially with mental disorder while eating salad is good for physical health. Of course they are not meant to be the primary cure, so if someone said it to you, they mostly just tried to give you some platitude.

Sorry, I should have specified. I was talking about eating disorders, specifically bulimia. But people unhelpfully offering their idea of a "cure" is likely common among many mental disorders.

I ask my family for help because it isn't easy. I tell them to remind me if I am eating too much at night. It definitely is tough. They don't understand why I need it.

Exactly, everyone just says to be positive accept yourself eat healthy and exercise like really I didn’t know

@helpfulWillow3073 I can agree to that. I am SO done with me being the only one taking my ED serious. I can't get help anywhere, bc I have schizophrenia too :3
