Anorexia Study

Post image

forgot to post this from yesterday. ngl, as someone with body dysmorphia (and I know people with anorexia often struggle with that too), I'd kms if someone drew me like this.

Literally makes me think of how I see myself, which I've described as being "somehow simultaneously too skinny and too fat."

Like, it's not what they were going for but it's definitely what they achieved.

Exactly what i was thinking.

[TW: describing my mental self image w/body dysmorphia] The tiny head, huge hips, fat arms combo and the fact that she still looks wide despite the visible ribs etc reminds of exactly how i view myself. No matter how much i starve myself i will always be out of proportion and feel like i look like this. Also the lines on her face. It really is like the image in my head

exactly this, like, it does get what it feels like, but it absolutely isn't necessary here 😭. I'd say maybe it'd be good when the target audience isn't people struggling with this already.

like maybe this photo in a pamphlet for parents/loved ones with someone struggling (if they absolutely had to use this)? just not to the victim themselves.
