I am not entirely sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I wanted to open a discussion about eating disorders in relation to CPTSD.
Today is the first ever World Eating Disorder Action Day and I believe it is so important to end stigma surrounding any mental illness, but EDS are often over looked.
I was wondering if any one else here is participating today by sharing truths and key messages about eating disorders. I have struggled with Anorexia Nervosa since I was 14 and now know that was related to shame from sexual abuse, as well as the pressure to be a sexual object in our society. I didn't put a name to my ED for almost 10 years because I never looked sickly and was afraid of being mocked by my family.
Is anyone here also recovering from an ED? What has that been like for you? What is the worst thing someone could say or has said to you regarding your ED?
