TW: Eating Disorders Hi friends. I have a genuine question for friends with eating disorders. Do you find it kind, or insulting when people tell you to eat. Is it like when people tell someone who's depressed to just "be happy"?

Answering for past me... but it would depend where I was at and how forceful you were. If you embarrassed me, or if you put pressure on me, I’d get angry — especially if I was going through a more self-destructive period. Otherwise I might have found it flattering.

It was a very peculiar mindset where being told I looked sick/needed to eat meant I was achieving my goal and that maybe one day I would deserve recovery. The more sick people said I was, the more I felt I’d ‘won’.

This was specifically for non-purge type bulimia btw. There are all sorts, and most are unspecified. Anorexia makes up about 8%, and from my experience that’s the condition where being told to eat would be most akin to ‘just be happy’
