I work with so many young people who find social media platforms highly triggering even recovery accounts.... it’s such a tough place to be when you compare every finite detail to another’s journey....

I spent an inordinate amount of time listening to the distress of young people who show me and share with me what they have seen and read. It can be so hard to understand why your treatment plan is different to those who post specific details of theirs which differs...

I agree, I've had to unfollow all accounts on here which do this & the same for other social media. If someone is a recovery advocate I'd like them to be honest about behaviours that they are still working on, esp if they are speaking on behalf of those with EDs.

Yup. I wonder whether it’s sometimes hard to see what might be trigging esp if the ED is loud? I wonder if it makes insight and reflexivity harder?

Would also add no. of inpatient admissions, details of NG feeding, sectioning etc - this is a horribly competitive illness and sometimes people don’t feel “sick enough” if they haven’t experienced the above. Also clothes sizes

Absolutely agree!

Yes! People that claim to be in recovery yet seek to revel in posting full length photos of themselves. It’s like a huge ‘look how sick I am’ and it’s really triggering. I read an article about Taylor Swift which mentioned her dress size. It’s just not needed info!
-
Agreed, it's completely unnecessary and SO triggering

Shout that out sister!!!! I couldn't agree more. I follow said "Influencers" who claim they're this n that, yet what they post is shocking. I understand they wanna report on their therapy, journey etc but is there any need for the Numbers, food, calories etc

Most (if they’re honest) aren’t truly recovering. They’re just documenting their illness and seeking validation.
