Don't bother

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

i'll politely disagree and bow out here. i realize i'm biased and reading a lot into few words, but your title didn't frame it as recovering, but as a current condition for you. i feel like just discussing it normalizes it, and makes it a disorder that's easier to bear because, after all, other people do the same thing.

but yeah, obviously a personal view. carry on.

I guess we shouldn't talk about any mental illness, then, because it ~normalizes~ it.

Talking about it helps, Jesus Christ. What do you think therapy is? It's not just shoving food down someone's throat until they get over it.

sorry op, obviously i said i'd bow out, but i want to clarify here: when i say talking about it, i mean to a bunch of strangers in an environment where people are much more prone to being judgmental and vicious. therapy is good, but therapy is not the same as an anon comm, even if the anon on the other end is in a similar predicament.

if op seeks help in therapy, that's great, but imo the odds that two anorexics are going to get together and talk about how to seek help are low.

and now i'm gone!

from another recovered anorexic to an internet stranger: it's none of your business how ~delicate~ someone's condition might be to anons. dude fuck off

your issue with this thread is weird. we've had ed anons in "ask a" threads before. it's a prevalent disorder with A LOT of misconceptions. talking about it on anons (as with any serious topic) will more likely get genuine questions unless the trollier anons are bored.

idk why so many of you think anons is a vicious danger zone for sensitive subjects. the trolls aren't that prevalent and when they come out they're blaringly obvious.
