Why is it that everyone agrees destigmatizing disorders is necessary, but never include eating disorders in that?
Eating disorders, all types, are treated as some hush hush tabooβwhy are they treated differently than other disorders?
Why are eating disorders trigger tagged? No other disorders are, so why is it standard for eating disorders?
Sure, trigger warning makes sense in certain contexts (such as in detail conversations) but why is it the default? Why is the mere mention of eating disorders trigger tagged? Why is it okay to do so for eating disorders, but no other disorders?
Others preach the importance of education on disorders and that no disorder makes an individual "bad" but why do i see posts insinuating those with EDs are inherently bad people?
Why, when others post about their eating disorders, they are accused of bigotry or "encouraging others to be disordered"? Why do people act like restrictive EDs are the only type of eating disorder? Why are we accused of things for merely existing and talking about our struggles?
Why is our existence a trigger? We deserve respect too
Adding this from the tags because it perfectly encapsulates how i feel:
