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"?

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’
