It's another classic example of a mother cuddling society, embracing a disease / disorder that wasn't around a few hundred years ago. Tell her to grow up and buy her a McDonalds. Some people have disorders that affect their eating that were around a few hundred years ago. They just weren't named. Think shit through before you sound like a dumbass. Many things may affect how much someone is eating. They could be nervous about something or just have severe anxiety(not fake) as some people get nervous very easily compared to others. When it lasts too long and isn't temporary, it gets considered an eating disorder. shadowcry Posted at 11:14 am on Sep. 21, 2008 Quote: from slimsean3 at 10:18 am on Sep. 11, 2008 Disorders like this aren't even worth your time.

I think that this kind of attitude is what causes these problems in the first place. When you see an anorexic fighting for her life, or not fighting which is usually the case- then you wonder why the fuck they aren't helping themselves. The point is they can't control it, nobody can- it is nothing to do with a case of growing up and i think it is a case of ignorance that you think like this. Trust me if you had anorexia you would feel differently. slimsean3 Posted at 10:31 am on Sep. 11, 2008 It pisses me off how todays society just accepts these disorders such as obesity, and myalgic encephalomyelitis. It's not a disorder, you just eat too much, or you've psychologically built up the idea that you're lacking motivation to get out of bed and go to work. Majority of the time it's a cry for attention. Don't give it them, concentrate on your own life.

You should grow up and GTFO. You can't help developing disorders of any kind. I have bi-polar disorder, is it my fault? Micus Posted at 10:22 am on Sep. 11, 2008 That's really sad. Perhaps the negative attention will help... I know when I stopped eating everyone began telling me "you look really unhealthy, please eat" and that was more motivation to keep eating. The Fantasy Posted at 10:19 am on Sep. 11, 2008 People can't help the disorders they develop. LEONIDOS Posted at 10:19 am on Sep. 11, 2008 they need help chelseamorgan Posted at 10:19 am on Sep. 11, 2008 That's terrible, and no one can say anything about eating disorder's unless they've suffered from one. They're not something that you want to do and suffer from. slimsean3 Posted at 10:18 am on Sep. 11, 2008 Disorders like this aren't even worth your time.
