What someone with an eating disorder wishes you knew
Getting diagnosed with an eating disorder happened by accident to Emily Boring. She went to her university’s mental health office to talk about anxiety she was feeling, and through conversations learned that her behaviors with food were classified as an eating disorder, she said. Now 27 and a graduate student at the Yale Divinity School in New Haven, Connecticut, her journey of recovery and relapse has taught her a lot about how to care for herself and others, she said.
I’m afraid I’m going to gain weight. And a clinician may say well meaningly, “Don’t worry, your body’s not going to change that much. Your weight doesn’t have to go higher.” Regardless of the factualness of that statement or not, that’s just playing right into the eating disorder’s belief. It’s so easy to try to reassure using the eating disorder’s own language, and I found that that just really doesn’t work in the long run.
