-- Posted by W o n d e r l a n d at 5:00 am on July 5, 2008 People post in the Eating Disorder section... telling people what they do (starve, over exersize, purge ect.) and then ask if they have an Eating disorder... Clearly they already know that they have an ED if they are posting it in the Eating disorder forum. and if they DIDNT know they have an ED, then google anorexia or bulimia or what ever Eating disorder they suspect they may have and find the symptoms from there... -- Posted by Latin Muscle at 5:01 am on July 5, 2008 true -- Posted by DaveH at 5:01 am on July 5, 2008 xsolox, do I have an eating disorder? -- Posted by sweetazlovebug at 5:02 am on July 5, 2008 and their ed is probably just to get attention, especially if they are posting that -- Posted by blufindr at 5:04 am on July 5, 2008 Quote: from sweetazlovebug at 10:02 pm on July 5, 2008 and their ed is probably just to get attention, especially if they are posting that not necessarily. some people don't actually know for sure whether their 'symptoms' constitute as an eating disorder, but they think it might be. and the online thingummys aren't always reliable. -- Posted by Josh998 at 5:33 am on July 5, 2008 dont know -- Posted by W o n d e r l a n d at 5:35 am on July 5, 2008 Quote: from blufindr at 10:04 pm on July 5, 2008 Quote: from sweetazlovebug at 10:02 pm on July 5, 2008 and their ed is probably just to get attention, especially if they are posting that not necessarily. some people don't actually know for sure whether their 'symptoms' constitute as an eating disorder, but they think it might be. and the online thingummys aren't always reliable. lol true but alot of people here on LW just bitch and say 'OMFG just eat' when if they DO  have an ED its not that easy -- Posted by Jadien at 5:41 am on July 5, 2008 Quote: from xsolox at 5:00 am on July 5, 2008 People post in the Eating Disorder section... telling people what they do (starve, over exersize, purge ect.) and then ask if they have an Eating disorder...

False. Most ED's have nothing to do with food. It's only the manifestation that we see. -- Posted by blufindr at 5:56 am on July 5, 2008 Quote: from xsolox at 10:35 pm on July 5, 2008 Quote: from blufindr at 10:04 pm on July 5, 2008 Quote: from sweetazlovebug at 10:02 pm on July 5, 2008 and their ed is probably just to get attention, especially if they are posting that    not necessarily. some people don't actually know for sure whether their 'symptoms' constitute as an eating disorder, but they think it might be.    and the online thingummys aren't always reliable. lol true but alot of people here on LW just bitch and say 'OMFG just eat' when if they DO have an ED its not that easy exactly. and it's actually a lot harder to deal with an eating disorder than most people think. telling someone to go eat does not help in any way or form.
