I wouldn’t necessarily attribute the media to EDs, that’s rather oversimplified and reinforces the idea that EDs are “diets gone wrong”.
The picture of the empty sofa, without the girl from the picture before was striking.
The pro-ana stuff is just ********. For those who are EDed, it is terrible, but it seems that a good proportion are just people trying to be cool, “lyke AnA 4 evA!!” etc. I don’t like the way the media shows the general public so much of this because it gives people the idea that all sufferers are like that.
I heard somewhere that it’s not direct physical consequences that cause the majority of deaths in sufferers, but suicide. (Also, one is more likely to die of hypothermia, extreme hypoglycaemia or heart problems rather than starvation itself)
naelse: indeed, they don’t.
