(Content warning for eating disorder mention)

The most fucked up thing I've learned about recently, when I really sat down to think of it, is how fat people with eating disorders are treated. When a person is very thin and has the behaviors we associate with anorexia we would know that telling them they're too fat for treatment is just. Fucking evil, it's an evil thing to do to someone, but that's exactly what people with "atypical" anorexia face if they seek treatment and the atypical part in my understanding is just being larger than the BMI "regular" anorexia has to qualify for having the disorder.

Like instead of using the same fucking term we decided fat people with eating disorders were built wrong somehow and thus need a Special Term™️ rather than defining eating disorders around the behaviors associated with them, not the body type of those who suffer from them. Just thinking about the way even thinner people who aren't thin enough trying to get treatment and being told they're too healthy or too fat for it makes my blood boil with rage when we would never treat someone who's eating disorder shows up strongly on their frame this way because we'd immediately recognize how disgusting that is.

#winters ramblings #yall gotta check out the podcast maintenance phase and also aubry gordons books #but like the one ep they did they had a guest on whi had an ED at two different points in her life and the second time #she was not extremely thin. she got told when she sought treatment to look at herself and look at everyone else #and then the person asked WHY she was there. SHE ALREADY HAD AN ED. SHE KNEW WHAT SHE WAS EXPERIENCING #how FUCKING DISGUSTING do you have to be to tell someone who just told you they have an EATING DISORDER #to LOOK AROUND BC CLEARLY THEYRE TOO FUCKING FAT FOR TREATMENT. amd what of people who JUST got an ED??#ehat do they have to be on deaths door for you to give a shit?? fuck you thats horrific and cruel and a lot of other words i dont have #like thats just EVIL man. fuckin EVIL and im not much one for believing in evil the way we concenceptualize it #but like holy fucking SHIT how else do you look at something like that??!? why the FUCK would you EVER say #something like that so someone who is TELLING you theyre sick?? and you say NO YOURE NOT??#like the person MP had on had ALREADY been treated for an ED. she KNEW what was happening to her #and this ALLEGED professional reacted like that lioe fucking congrats on potentially making someone WAY SICKER #like i just cant get over that id have LOST IT on that fucking twit at the treatment center. the whole block would have been aware #of what i thought and wjere i wanted that person to go what to do whaen they get there and where to go after that too #like !!!! what the fuck!!!! like if youre willing to let sick people get SICKER just to prove their sickness to you before you treat them #you have NO BUSINESS being in the medial or mental health professions. acting like that you might as well be a cop #like yes i also know that several drs did this exact thing to me but with depression and thats why it hits a nerve #BUT I DONT THINK I NEED THAT SHITTY TREATMENT FROM DRS TO KNOW HOW FUCKED UP IT IS #TO TELL SOMEONE WITH AN ED THAT THEYRE TOO HEALTHY OR NOT THIN ENOUGH FOR TREATMENT #like are you TRYING to make them WORSE??!? how DARE you!!
