Watching this girl die over the course of my teenage years and adulthood is one of the weirdest things I've ever experienced. She doesn't even know who I am.
I'm not even a fan of this dude neither Eugenia but for once I say that I admire the way he spoke and his body language looked very genuine; I did not sensed a negative vibe coming from him, in fact I felt empathy.
He is someone I remember very well back in 2018. The whole look he has now was really coming together. He is unique and such a kind and gentle soul, I’m not anything close to emo but I love his look.
Being kind isn't working. Being tough isn't working. She's too far gone mentally. She is so far gone in her ED that it's her entire personality. I'm speaking from experience before anyone comes for me. Its so hard to come out of but you are the only one who can help yourself.
IMO, its more than an ED. IMO, its Narcissistic Personality Disorder. They live for Attention (Narcissistic Supply). And they create an Alter-Ego persona. Her alter, is this "Character". It gets her unlimited amounts of attention... as well as boatloads of cash.
@@acepierceson4430 because she exploits it. She knows she has a problem but profits from it. If she didn't have an ED, not many would watch her. And that's sad. Everyone's just there for the train wreck.
I'm not a doctor or a psychiatrist, but I have the sneaking suspicion that her mother is "living through her." She probably always wanted to be thin and famous.
I think Eugenia's Mother was likely not present emotionally, focused on her image. Yet when Eugenia started getting attention online and told her mother, she showed interest (does anyone remember her dressing her preppy and the singing to the camera :/), I think Eugenia is trying to earn her mother's approval subconsciously.. and the weight thing was probably a coping mechanism as a child to insecure attachment and bullying.. and it's all she knows, it gave her a feeling of control over feelings that were too hard for her - the overly positive avoidance of hard topics, brushing off things, its all quite avoidant.. she says she wants to make others happy, people to be happy, know one knows how hard on herself she is inside. But one thing is clear, she loves nightmare before Christmas and I cant help feeling she likes looking like the characters, it may have been something that made her happy earlier on in a hard time.. Her mother does come across quite self-interested, the only time I saw real happiness from her was when she said a mothers joy is getting to dress your daughter up like a Disney princess :/ I'm guessing she never had an emotional support/help to deal with early life bullying and hard feelings.
No... Eugenia is doing this all on her own. Thinking she's actually somebody by starving herself... and encouraging her innocent young crowd to follow suit. ... No sympathy. Not a fan. She needs to go... anyway somehow.
@@peachdreams That's a very interesting theory which is why I don't really know if there is a point of return because we know and she knows also that she wouldn't be this famous without looking like that and is terrified of getting help because of the fear to lose what she has gained so far which is wealth, providing for her family and " success "
I struggled with an eating disorder when I was younger. I would love it when people would say I looked "scary thin" and like I was "going to die", it's bad to say, but I lived off of that worry and attention, it just fed into my disorder even more. Looking back, I hate myself for doing that to myself and the people around me, but when you're deep into the disorder, you do become very narcissistic and selfish. It's just a characteristic of the disorder. Thats the wall you were talking about, is that, the narcissism. The moment you stop feeding into the disorder and the narcissism, you are cut off. So, unfortunately, no amount of worry will make a difference. If she doesn't want help, then there really isn't anything you can say to convince her otherwise.
It's because eating disorders are an addiction, and as we know with addictions it consumes the person. You're on point, if someone doesn't want help there is nothing you can do or say that will reach them. Thank you for being so open about your experience, really hope you are well.
That's so true. My sister lost her life due to complications from anorexia, and drug use, she died a slow painful death. I wish people would have been more nice, than make fun. I might still have my sister. I told her how wonderful she was all the time. She would to me, "you have to say that, ur my sister. She might have know I ment every word, had everyone else not have been so mean.
@@christinamcneely7853 that's what I've been telling my mother at my worst times. That maybe if she had other daughter (or a son) she would've had a choice to love another child of hers that is not so damaged and complicated to deal with. I mean, that's what my father did - he got another child and threw me out. I just can't believe she really loves me, I can't believe anyone is able to love a person that is so not okay. It's unpleasant and uncomfortable to be around a person like me, how can anyone possibly enjoy that?
this is most genuine and down to earth video ive seen about her. she really does deserve the empathy that you give her. i really hope she see this video.. I hope she reaches out to anyone.. very heartbreaking to watch someones health decline so publicly.
For sure she will die and is going to . I don’t want to regret anything I’ve said . So sad to hear she does this to put her brother thru college and keep stop over her head All that is just tainted . What she will leave behind is karma for family who didn’t do some heavy a** tough love !!!! She may pass 15:10 but they will endure the wrath I guarantee it
This is one if the most mature responses to her ive seen. Those who are angry with her have the right to be but this really is the best way to open a conversation in which she may actually listen
It's completely inappropriate to be angry with someone who has a severe mental health problem driving all their actions. Being angry with her is no different to getting angry with someone who has developed schizophrenia and acting strange ways due to it but it's even worst than that as she's also a dying person due to a condition she never would have asked to get nor caused. One could compare this as people getting angry at someone which severe schizophrenia who is dying from cancer. It's truly a sick thing people getting angry at her, a completely uncompassionate thing and the people doing it should be looking at their own actions of why they are being so horrible and criticizing another when they themselves act so badly.
@@tanyabrown9839 Yeah. Not really the same though, is it. I took care of people with Schizophrenia and have worked with those who have passed due to cancer. Not one of them flaunted their illnesses nor did they actively pursued it, I mean, you get that right? Their is some responsibility that can be put on her. She's almost 30 and in no way, shape or form does she want or try to get better. She has no intention of setting a good example but in actuality she intentionally does the opposite. No, she doesn't say for anyone to follow in her footsteps but she is well aware that young girls will choose to begin starving themselves. So, you can't say that about people who have Schizophrenia and cancer can you? No. You can't.
@@tanyabrown9839 So, what came first? The eating disorder or the mental illness? She CHOSE to starve herself. Schizophrenics didn't CHOOSE to have a mental illness. Wtf?!
I watched my stepson slowly kill himself with heroin for 15 years. He passed a few months ago and the devastation will ripple through our family forever. "Why can't you get better?" hits so hard. Some people don't want to get better.
It's so very hard to accept the things you can't change, especially when all you feel is that you should be doing more. That you could have done something more and that it's your fault, or that you've failed because you didn't try hard enough. No. Every human being has their own responsibility. If you genuinely tried everything you could think of and sought advice everywhere you could find any and nothing worked, then you've done all you can and maybe it's finally time to let go.
Ur gross for that. Superiority issues. Everyone wants to get better,but they can't figure out how. To get off something just to go back to the haunting threatening thoughts feels silly to someone suffering. It isn't the best but it is the most effective way to quickly get relief.
It's so sad how when you showed an older clip of her, she looked so much more healthy than she does now despite still being sick in that older clip. It goes to show that she has progressed & hasn't stopped. It breaks my heart that nothing can be done to really help her.
Abuse and a controlling family may be all she knows. That may be why she doesn't see the problem. The only thing she can control is her body. It's also so integrated into her identity and sense of self worth. You can really feel how much emo war chicken really cares. I hope one day she gets better and realizes.
Spoton Exactly what I did in an abusive relationship I didn't even realize I had an ED Until I saw Eugenia It was the only thing I could control & I didn't even realize how bad my situation was because of gaslighting & Cognitive dissonance
No proof that she was abused in any capacity. Looks like she has it pretty damn good if you ask me. It's Ultimately her own fault, nobody else did this to her. This is the life she is choosing.
I’ve seen videos that she’s done with her mother, and she just acts as if her daughter slowly killing herself is completely normal, it kills me that Eugenia’s mother is enabling it. A parent’s job is to keep their kid alive and healthy and so far her mother has failed on the latter and soon enough she’ll have failed the former too.
@@dalhousieDream he knew her personally which is harder. But yeah in that sense, no one really knows Eugenia. I don't even think she knows herself either
Watching your friend die is hard....it is like watching an addict. It is very very hard. She used to have a great personality. It is the worst case with her.
This is the first video of yours I've seen. And it is the most intelligent, and compassionately objective overview of euginia I've seen. You promote love and compassion without ignoring the very core realities of what you observe to be true and what it will take in order for her to have a chance at survival. I hope that makes sense to yall because it makes sense to me.
She was kept in the *little girl people pleaser* role for so long (and is still there, sadly), eating/weight is the only thing she can truly control.😭😭😭
it's kinda like the whole Karen carpenter situation how she grew up, she wanted to please her mom, her brother, the record company, fans but she lost sight of herself and thought the only thing she could control was her body and what she put in it and it didn't end well for her sadly either
I’m amazed by the fact that you can deprive yourself for so long and remain alive and able to formulate sentences. It’s really made me feel like I can survive the apocalypse.
She barely moves, and her outings are probably under a few hours. She probably feels horrible afterwards, and needs a day to recover. Surviving the Apocalypse, would likely mean... having to fend of others, fight for whatever food scraps you could find, travel harsh terrain in very bad conditions. Even the healthiest of people, will find it very difficult to survive... and someone like her, will perish quite quickly. I have suffered from allergies to wheat, which starved my body of critical nutrients. It caused me to be constantly Tired, easily irritable/angered, depressed most of the time, slow in responses / brain fog, horrible pains in my body and joints. My body healed 10x slower, so things like bruises might stay with me for 2 weeks to a month. Nails and teeth got brittle and weak... and as a result, I spent several thousand per year, trying to keep repairing my teeth... as they kept rotting, no matter how well I took care of them. It was a horrible decade of declining health, before I found out the main issue. But even then, the damages are done... and I will never be the same, because of it. You will often see a lot of the same issues with long term Vegans. Its quite sad, because at her healthy weight, she looked very pretty. She clearly has a disorder, and uses her current "Image", as a way to get attention / money. My guess, is Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Attention, is their most valued currency. Its what they live for.
@@WillSing4TP no...no they didn't. They spelled it coherently unfortunately for you, and the whole incoherent democratic party. Good luck in Novembs...y'all gonna need it.
This is the most respectful video about her that I have ever seen. You can hear how close you were in your voice as you speak of her! She needs real friends like you, who don't cater to her but don't put her down either. TRUST IS NEEDED TO HEAL
Unfortunately she's benefitting from this financially at this point. It's been too long. Her audience can't help her. He's absolutely correct. It has to come from within her.
THere is absolutely NO NEED for her to gain anything financially. Have you ever seen the video of the house she lives in? She is from an extremely wealthy background. Her home looks likke a Castle. Money is definitely not a need of hers.
I think you're spot on. Until she has a major health event I don't think she'll stop. I was on drugs for decades telling myself that I was fine.....until I wasn't...& that scared me enough to stop. Unfortunately eating disorders cause terrible problems to Internal organs, that sometimes are not reversible. So when she's ready it may well.be too late.
That’s the worst part. Knowing that even if she does survive it may be a brutal existence for her. 😔 I hope not. I hope she gets better and can live a healthy happy life.
My husband had a similar experience. He had to have a really bad experience to get away from it. That was many, many years ago and he’s never relapsed. I really pray Eugenia does get help before its too late, but it’s not looking good. :(
Lost my best friend, partner in crime, soul mate, sister, whatever you want to call it... to a fent od. Havent touched anything since and I will never ever again.
Your words strike true. As someone who loves an alcoholic (different disease but still addiction), not me or my kids will make him change. It's his choice and I know this. We can't plead with her to change. She HAS to want it. The sadness in your eyes as you watch her videos is heart breaking. Thank you for making this.
It's beyond me how lil controlled alcohol is.....theres not many things that will out right kill you to quit but alcohol is one. You hear the Politician's talking how "Guns and Opiate are a National Health Crisis"....Alcohol kills just as many every year, there is no outrage becsuse it's not about health.
@Trinity M You are incorrect about eating disorders & addiction. According to the NIH: Addictive behavior manifests itself in permanent preoccupation with food and eating, withdrawal symptoms, continuation of disturbed eating behavior in spite of negative consequences, loss of control, and frequent relapse.
I watched a livestream with her one day, and I think someone mentioned that an outfit made her look "fat"......watching her spiral after that comment was one of the saddest things I've seen in my life.
I'm someone who battled what my therapists and I call a drug induced bulemia. I can't make myself vomit, but I discovered pain pills and heroin surely did. I rapidly lost weight until I was so skinny people would be shocked. This shock value FUELED my ED like a wildfire. My mom once held my pants up while we were at the laundromat one day and showed people saying "can you believe my 21 year old wears these? A 6 year old can fit into these!" And the euphoria I got from that was astronomical. I absolutely loooved it when people gasped at me and said "you look like a skeleton!" The only way this girl will have a fighting chance.. is to have her banned on all platforms. She is the poster child for Thinspo which in the ED world.. that's a badge of fucking honor. Everyone in the world would die (fucking literally) to be on a pro Ana/ pro Mia thinspo page. And as said, she's making so much money to carry her family she has so many "responsibilities" she's taking on as her own which just shouldn't be. There are so many things fueling this and it pains me bc.. she's never gonna get better if something doesnt change. Fuck if I had the audience she has.. I would've never gotten better either.
Sympathy only goes so far though. People start giving up on you after awhile of begging you to get better. She's gonna end up alone and gone... over what?... being starved to death? .. And there's people in the world actually starving.. unintentionally. .. yeah she doesn't have my sympathy and many others are in the same boat about it.
The way Ritchie says ,,"man" and "look at her arms" was GUTERALLY HONEST REACTION. She wears her hair that way so you can't see how deep the pits on her shoulders go in.
@@phoenixfresh8681 Agreed. And I'm pretty sure she wouldn't try to cover up anything about her appearance that has something to do with being so thin. Unfortunately, that's just part of the disorder. :/
Sad part is most people die from a ED after they recover because their heart gives out or so I read :( i don’t know what lead her to where she is she really seems like a kind person but completely lost in her delusions. I hope she finds her way ❤
It’s awful that’s she’s gonna die young either way, even if she recovers, I just hope that she’s happy when she goes, because she does seem genuinely sweet, just incredibly troubled.
Most people who recover from an ed can live a long healthy life. Most people who die from organ failure due to their ed were anorexic for decades and never recovered.
This is why professional treatment is so important. She should be monitored medically while she is putting on weight. Part of the reason people die after treatment is the body is so accustomed to the light weight and the heart withering away. Once the weight goes on, the fragile heart has to work harder at pumping blood through a body twice it’s size that it was at sickness. The kidneys were shutting down and didn’t really have to filter much. The colon isn’t accustomed to bulk passing through and has trouble expanding its shrunken state when food arrives. After months of starvation, eating becomes very difficult. It’s painful. The body wants to reject food, yet it needs food to survive. She has a long road ahead of her, if she decides to live.
It's amazing how your sadness and heart break comes through the make up and contacts. Just shows how much you truely do care for her. I cry every time I see her. This is a beautiful video. (I love the new set too)
Set up and new outfit looks really good Also this does seem like a more genuine style of reaction than you usually get You make good points and speak eloquently which is nice to listen to
Was a subscriber way back in your first days. Left after the whole Jaclyn thing, and came back to check in and was pleasantly surprised. This man is proof that people can, and do change, evolve, and grow from past mistakes. You can feel the heart of who Richie is here, and it's so nice. The empathy shown here I hadn't seen in the past. It's nice to see this side of Richie . I've re subbed and am looking forward to this era social repose.
Thank you for being kind and also empathic to her. She does have to make the choice. Addictions come in all shapes and sizes. Psychological illnesses are extremely difficult to treat if the person is not receptive.
You know, he is a really good example of “you aren’t the same person in your 30s as you were when you were in your early 20s”. The internet has made Richie a villain, but man I love me a redemption arc like this. True growth here. True empathy. I am glad he is still around to teach this lesson. Kudos
to be honest the first time I saw him, it seemed like he put on a overally positive mask, and never dived into much depth, now I see he is a geniune man, he was probably hiding all this time.
redemption my ass. he still has that god awful intro of him appropriating cultures like mine. this is not redemption. this video is monetized and he’s making money off of his commentary of a dying woman.
Your reactions are genuine and truly from a caring place. I don't see how she has continued as long as she has. I really wish she could get to a healthy place.
It's like a drug addict. You can say anything, do anything for them. At the end of the day, the only one changing anything is ourselves. Nobody can do it for you. You can give support until you're blue in the face. I hope she decides what's best for herself
She comes across as a sweet person, it is such a shame that she looks so ill now. Eugenia needs to live her life, whether anyone likes it or not. i hope one day she finds the peace she deserves.
I was watching Of Herbs and Altars and she said a bad trip cured her anorexia when she realized how stupid she was in the grand scheme of things, a child could survive better than her, if they were hungry they would go into the kitchen, climb on the counters or something go into the fridge and get some food, as simple as that, and she was making it a whole complicated thing. I just thought was interesting to share.
I love them. Although they unfortunately still struggle with anorexia and have relapsed. So the drug story was just a moment of realization that they had that didnt last long. Anorexia is a life long struggle. You can manage it but you never 100% get over it. Just like drugs or achohol. They made a video about Eugenia recently which was very eye opening. In their experience, anorexic people they have known don't make it once they reach their 30s. They suspect either next year or in 2025 Eugenia will sadly pass away.
I think anorexia is similar to drug addiction. The only person who can stop it is the person going through it. I think you are correct also that there is no reason to bully her or say hey get some help, most likely that will only make her run toward her goal faster.
I didnt cry when I first watched her videos you're showing but now I am so close to crying because of your reactions. They're exactly what I was thinking but you've said it out loud and now I know I'm not the only one pained by her. Her mental health is affecting her physical so bad and I wish someone would help her
I LOVE THIS FORMAT. THE THRONE. THE MAKE UP. THE MANNER. THE ETIQUETTE. THE GODLY GOTH VIBES. ITS LIKE THE DIVINE COMING FOR ITS OFFSPRING IN THE MOST POLITE WAY.
You know, I've avoided your channel for a few years now, and coming back, I'd say you've really grown as a person, and it's really nice to see. Thanks for that, Richie. And Thank you for this respectful video towards Eugenia. I can't imagine actually having her as a friend and seeing her condition. It's heartbreaking enough as just a viewer to see her, but being her actual friend I can see this being devastating. We all want her better, I just wish she wanted it too. She's basically gone farther than before going to rehab, and it's really hard to witness, and be able to do absolutely nothing to help her. She's retracted all statements of how rehab had helped her. She denies anything to do with having a problem, and anyone at all who has well wishes whether or not they are worded "nicely" she views as haters. She says she has absolutely no intention of getting help again, and it's so frustrating. I was really rooting for her, and to have her go back on the entirety of her recovery is disheartening. I can't bring myself to view her videos or streams anymore. She's such a beautiful girl, but this disorder has really changed her and turned her spiteful and cold towards anyone who wishes her well. She's not the same sweet Eugenia that she used to be, and I get that people change, but the neglect of her family doing ANYTHING to help her infuriates me. I sometimes just want to shake her mother for not stepping in, and instead ignoring the issue, and letting it get this bad AGAIN, and worst of all playing CAMERAMAN, but at the end of the day, all that will do is push her even farther away to the point of pure isolation... It's just really sad. It's equally as sad knowing she has nobody other than the toxic cesspool that is her stream to talk to along with her family who is enabling everything. At this point I really feel like nothing can be done, and one day we just wont hear from her anymore and everyone will play heartbroken and milk that too, knowing damn well at the end of the day they could've stepped in. It's just a double edged blade at this point. Try to force help and get pushed away, or let her be and let her die. It feels hopeless. She has to want the help, and she just simply doesn't.
My aunt Josephine was between 58-67 pounds almost her whole life she was like this and no one could help her. When she rushed my cousin to the hospital they put my aunt on a gurny instead and she was cursing at them. We thought she was going to die all the time from it but she didnt. She was in a bad car acxident when she was in her late 60's and she passed away but she lived like thaty whole life. It is sad and scary but dont lose hope in her, God don't!
I love this video. Thank you. I used to be as thin as Eugenia and overcame it. I am now raising a family and quite happy, but I can never forget what it felt like to be there. The critics won’t help her. Something has to move her to change and that something is self love. There is hope for her. She will be in my heart.
I am really sorry you have to watch your former friend go through this. Even if you’re not friends anymore I’m sure it’s hard for you. I hope you’re taking care of yourself too.
It is heartbreaking to see her like this. She doesn’t want to listen to those who care about her who want to see her get better but she’s too far gone for any help now. It’s such a shame she turned out like this 😔
Great video. I dont think Eugenia can leave, as you explained she seems financial trapped. I imagine she would be a great role model for others suffering with eating disorders, if she could find a way to manage her own. Change her channel into one of inspiration, write a book. Might be wishful thinking, but whats the alternative? Hope she finds a path out of her situation.
i often think about her and go to her channel just to make sure she's still alive, and that's sad. Thing is some of these people don't understand how it is to be broken, to put on a happy face when inside you are falling down a rabbit hole and struggling to get back up. It is a hard thing to get better, to suddenly decide things need to change because in the end your mind is your own enemy. I know i struggle all the time with my mind for different reasons but for people to attack her is only going to make her fall deeper down that hole, and that isn't fair.
She is treating her own condition as content, look at her thumb nails, look at her social media. The best thing everyone could do would just be to stop watching her, stop giving it the attention. But that will never happen.
My heart breaks for you man I grew up watching you and Eugenia and so many others and to see her like this hurts me. I couldn't imagine how you feel rn
This is heartbreaking. I've been where she is body wise and it's horrible to be going through. And so many people treat you like shit because of it. It took me till I was in my mid 20's before I got the real help I needed. It was a long hard painfully surreal road. And I can only hope that she can find her way.
I can't relate to anorexia but I was pretty frail before I went on my antidepressants and that was due to my body using so much energy to process thoughts when I had advanced panic disorder. I gained 13kgs in a month on them and was able to recall memories that had been buried due to traumatic memory blocks which is a real thing, I would experience short term memory loss from stress aswell. Mental health should be nurtured and restored if it's in jeopardy. I am glad I got better but it took suffering that most people can never understand to actually get better. I know how mentally your physical health can be affected and it sucks
She just makes me sad, every time I see a post about her I'm afraid it's going to say she's dead 😔 I really thought she was going to get better a year or so ago.
The composition of that thumbnail and the way she seems to parade around in tiny outfits and shows as much of her body as possible, it seems on purpose at this point. She KNOWS people are going to have things to say about her body, whether that be good or bad, but it feels to me like that’s exactly what she wants. So long as the comment mentions how drastically thin she is, she’s happy. That’s what she wants. Even though there are people out there who genuinely want to help her, even those negative comments are giving her what she wants - people to say how thin she is. It’s feeding (no pun intended) that demon in her mind
I don’t have an ED but I’ve heard others say that negative comments are what people like EC want. That shocked “omg you look like a skeleton” is affirmation to her that she’s skinny.
This is actually one of the best Eugenia videos I've seen. Good analysis, mature, well spoken and it's obvious you care so much for her, even now. Thank you.
You are right. No one can force her to get better. That is the reality of the situation. Sadly, it keeps getting worse (I'm writing this in late 2024), and I can't imagine how awful it all is for her! I wish her peace and hope she chooses to get help one day.
I'm really, really enjoying your newer content! When you lean into your goth identity it seems to really work for you. I hope it isn't causing you to feel worse than your other content because this is really enjoyable!
Wow you can tell your heart breaks for her. You are genuine, and you worded it perfectly. I hope she watches this. You are right she needs to choose herself.
Oh man, I could see your heart break upon seeing her. Wish her the best, even though I don't know who she is. I'm a new sub, only found your videos performing music. You have one hell of a voice, and a good sense of humor. Looking forward to more of your videos. You familiar with puddles pity party? I think you two would get along super well honestly. Maybe we could see a collaboration with you two.
You should check his old drama and cheating scandals, I've been watching him for years and still support him, yet I think it's good for people to know of his past actions
@@lovesoyeon6215 Sweeping it under the rug only averts people's eyes away from current abusers who are still causing the same problems he was. I wonder how many people had that exact attitude while he was abusing women.
@@huskeater That's one of the beauty's of life is we learn from our mistakes. Non of us are perfect and I'm sure you have some things you regret from your past. The things you are talking about happened years ago. And he has apologized. Are we supposed to hold his past against him for the rest of his life? It's time to move on
Her family is rich though, why would she have to provide for them and pay for her brothers college, when her parents are loaded? Someone please explain. 😳
Just because she doesn’t explicitly say, “look like me! Here’s how you do it!” doesn’t mean that she isn’t promoting anorexia. What an odd take. It’s her whole brand. And her family is very wealthy, so it’s unclear to me where the idea that she financially supports her family comes from. I appreciate wanting to approach her situation from a measured and sympathetic angle, but it’s possible to feel basic human compassion for her without pretending that’s she’s better or more altruistic than she is. I think she’s a manipulative and calculating person with a very limited moral compass. I also genuinely hope for her sake that she gets better and grows as a person. Two things can be true.
I was bulimic when I was younger and then got into hard substances later on and the similarity is exactly as you said that people need to show those struggling kindness because ultimately no one will fully change for anyone but themselves and if everyone’s shouting get better it’s not gonna happen unless the person truly wants it
Very well said bro. Just discovered her story this morning and it hurt my heart.... the first few videos I watched did much the same. It was nice to hear a coherent cohesive one sided conversation about her. Tragedies take all forms... this one is weird.
I lost my best friend and lover to addiction. There is something so eerily reminiscent about this situation. It makes me so sad and uncomfortable. I hate to say it, I have no hope for this situation.
This video was very well put together. I’d written a novel and deleted it but I’ll say this, you’re right about a lot. No one can push her to help herself, except her. I do feel that Cooney’s family could do more. If her family is sitting back getting a free ride in life, living off of their daughter/sisters income, they need to stop. They need to begin paying for their own expenses. It’s time Eugenia rest.
Her family is rich - they don't need her money. No one can help an anorexic but themselves. Period. Family and friends can help - only when that help is asked for, wanted, and welcomed.
Loving the set up Richie the throne is awesome and your look incredible as always. Loved this video especially the burger at the beginning so tragic. Truly hope she gets the help she needs and gets well. I believe she loves the attention it gets her which is really sad. Great video as always. 💜
First time I've seen her or you. A thumbnail appeared and I was shocked so took a look. For maybe a minute. So saddened by what I saw. Then I saw this post, and you talk a lot of good sense. Thank you for your efforts on her behalf. A touch of sanity in an insane world. I wish Eugenia a full recovery, if she ever learns how to love herself. But I will never open another of her posts. My own son, at 40, is dying of cancer. That's enough grief for me to deal with. Good luck xxx
I hope she gets better one day, it's a shame the rehab thing didn't work for her I was really hoping we would see her thrive and just bloom in to a new woman that had the whole world at her feet. Instead it seems that the experience affected her so badly she shut herself off from society, is scared of having any friendships at all and has just become a complete recluse and her mental illness has spiralled out of control. I really don't have much hope for her at this point. Thanks for making this video and sharing those little clips from years and years ago.
probably not. her body looks like it became so bad to the point it can’t go back to where it used to be. someday she’ll go to bed and never wake up again, maybe even fall down and never be able to get up again.
My issue with her is the double standard on all of these platforms. Instagram/youtube/twitch would be so quick to reprimand any woman flashing her privates so frequently yet she just gets away with it
That’s true but I also hate how a lot of great genuine content creators get flagged and shadowbannend while people like her and nicadoadvocado are literally killing themselves for views and it’s just okay
I found this to be the most respectful and emphatic video analysis about Eugenia Cooney.. I would be grateful to have a friend like you. Also to treat her (or anyone for that matter) with kindness and valuing her autonomy that way I agree is the way to deal with others through life. Happy I came across this video, there are still good people in the world.
what's worrying is that you can see her legs have a pinkish-purplish tone to them which means the circulatory system is getting affected and in one video she had a coughing attack due to fluttering in her throat but she put her hand on her chest, that means the heart rhythm is irregular. she's so far gone and unless she actually wants help soon, I don't think she will be alive much longer
Love and kindness is telling someone they’re going to die unless they get immediate and serious help. Yeah she has to make the decision herself, but when someone is holding a gun to their own head do you tell them to make their own decision or do you try to stop them? When a person is standing on the edge of a cliff about to jump to their death do you tell them we care about you so you make your own decision or do you say we care about you so don’t do this, we’ll get you help? It’s no different, she’s a danger to her own life, if anyone actually cares about her they would intervene in a way which makes it objectively clear to her that she needs help but she doesn’t believe she needs help and your beliefs don’t dictate the fabric of reality.
Thank you for dissecting this situation in such a caring, mature, and knowledgable manner. It's such a bad situation, and I'm so sorry for her. She does deserve love.
I’m very new to your channel, (40 mins ago) but I came across this and the way you speak with such genuine care and concern and yet are so real about the resentment and pain you yourself have felt regarding Eugenia, it’s wonderful and something I have rarely seen. You’re so eloquent and sincere and I’m really glad I came about your channel x
Eugenia will never get better because her livelihood depends on it. She knows the score, she knows exactly why so many view her channel. Some out of curiosity, some sick weirdos, some concerned but none to watch her haul videos and she knows this. I have no sympathy for her whatsoever, I did but not anymore and I disagree with you about her channel, she should be removed. As for not getting her help, the last time bought her some time, I have a feeling that she has very little left and while I don't believe anyone can force an adult to seek help, her mother disgusts me. She may not be able to force Eugenia to get help but she sure as hell can refuse to record videos for her. Her family is enabling her and as a parent myself I can't for the life of me understand how that woman can look at her daughter and help her make vids for youtube, it sickens me.
Ehh I actually disagree with you. Your speaking as if you Know her. Everything you said is Allegedly based on Your perspective not necessarily Facts. This is why I don't watch the euginia Cooney expose video y'all be reaching lol Y'all act like y'all know the mf lol You never met her You literally can't base someone state of mentality based on a fucking RUclips video lol I'm sure she she mental illness but if I'm being fair Most people who dealt with anorexia all had a different perspective of how they view themselves, Mental illness, and don't feel like there that bad until it's to late. I'm not gonna sit here and be a RUclips Comment section detective and act like I I know she does everything on purpose and she Knows what she doing lol like bruh you sound like them Creepy ass dudes that say "She knows what she doing" when girls wear skinny jeans lol like dude Relax Some people are just doing them you don't know what she battled and neither do I but I'm not gonna act like I do either lol Mental illness is terrible and a very powerful silent killer. Everything you said is surface level. Similar to the Saying about the Class clown how they are the most happy, energetic, funny and so on but usually have problems are home... You can't tell what people go thru from surface level.
so true well said. she knows exactly what she is doing and the continued fans telling her how good she looks it's scary. Truly hope she does get better.
Her mom is definitely a HUGE part of the problem and she too is catering to the ED fetishists by filming up Eugenia's skirt and zooming in on certain parts of her body in some videos. It's really gross and sad. I wish somebody could just get through to Eugenia but as long as she lives in a home where her sickness is enabled, she'll never get better and she will most likely die from this....
I’ve only seen some of the brief reels of your music until today when RUclips brought me here after seeing a video on EC and I just wanted to tell you thank you for such a truly empathetic video. She may feel she has no friends irl, and the two of you may not be close anymore, but she does have at least ONE actual friend whether she knows it or not, you’re one of the only people I’ve seen that has shown her true kindness. I’m just a stranger on the internet but I’m grateful for you taking the lead here and instead of jumping on the negative, you are teaching by example that showing love in a sick world matters. Please don’t stop speaking for what you believe. You have a deeper purpose here and there are many that need to hear your message. Thank you for being kind to this girl. She has a severe disease and it sadly may win unless she can get the help she needs. Ultimately she has to decide that and when you are struggling with mental health it can be so very hard to get through. I just appreciate so much that you are showing the world that loving and having empathy is nothing to be ashamed of. Thank you for sharing your message. I hope Eugenia will be ok and can find it within herself to heal and I hope that the right people will be around her and she will be open to getting help so she can survive. I’m worried about her and I don’t know her at all. I can’t imagine her being one of my friends at one time and having to watch from afar as this happens to her. It is heartbreaking. 💔
My husband's almost as thin as Eugenia Cooney because of anorexia nervosa but the weird thing is he hates how he looks and does not want to be skinny...its because of trauma. He does it to himself because he's never hungry and he's depressed and hates his his life. My husband has been through more pain than the majority of people I've ever met. His brother committed suicide when he was only 13. He was raised by narcissists and almost became a sociopath
Very well said. What no one seems to be asking that I have wondered from the first time I saw her was, "What is the reason behind her condition" She has something deep inside her that needs healing. Her response to whatever the damage/trauma is, is to not eat. It's not just that she doesn't want to eat for nothing, it's that something happened to her which has caused her to take this line of response. I hope she does make the choice to get help. It is very sad to see someone so beautiful throwing away her life like this. Personally I rarely ever watch her, nor am I subscriber to her as it is so upsetting seeing her like this. I wish her the best and hope that she will get help and survive to have a more beautiful and fulfilling life.
Eating disorders, particularly anorexia are almost always caused by a need to gain control of an aspect your life. So someone has probably made her feel like she doesn't have any control, at least when it started
She was 5150’d and cut everyone off, she doesn’t listen to the concerns of the internet, friends, nobody. She clearly doesn’t want to get better and appears to have a death wish. Just like with an alcoholic or drug addict, there comes a breaking point where the people who love her realize that they need to let it go and focus on themselves.
12:30 onwards is nothing but pure intelligence & fact... Well done on this video, I've been a long time fan and follower upon many of your platforms... And it's great to see this come from you... It makes it so much more pure
It's just sad. So sad. People don't like it when someone they care about, who is having obvious issues, makes zero steps trying to improve themselves. It was the same for Boogie. And I agree, it IS very aggravating seeing her do nothing, but I also get it as I have also had a mental condition almost ending me - I'm schizophrenic, so I know that when you are delusional you cannot see what you do is self destructive (for me it was the whole point, I had to sacrifice myself or the world would end). So, they have to be forced to get better. It absolutely sucks for the person suffering, but it's the only way to avoid tragedy. If it doesn't help, like in her case, you do it again for longer. At this point her family is enabling her.
What really really takes me to an actual not fun dark place in my own mind ...is watching how lonely...she is ...as she makes each video ..as bubbly and scary as she looks all I feel and see is a life that is so dark and lonely... lonely isn't even enough to explain the kind of darkness just watching her brings me ...I don't even want to know how lonely she actually is . Depressing AF to even think she gets up everyday gets ready in full outfits and sits in her big house filled with lonely stuff ...idk
How lonely she must be is what really bums me out. Like, I'm the same age as her. I don't really have friends, outside of my fiance. But I go out with him, spend time with him, I go to work, I get along reasonably well my coworkers... But she doesn't even have that. It's just her, sometimes her mom, and then a faceless community of watchers that love, hate, and pity her. It's just such a sad way to live.
Watching this girl die over the course of my teenage years and adulthood is one of the weirdest things I've ever experienced. She doesn't even know who I am.
But yet it feels like we’ve known her forever. I totally understand this
Why should/would she know who you are? Get over yourself.
@@zidneya the point went right over your head
Emo Battle Chicken vs Reptile
This is so true
I'm not even a fan of this dude neither Eugenia but for once I say that I admire the way he spoke and his body language looked very genuine; I did not sensed a negative vibe coming from him, in fact I felt empathy.
you a kanye west fan for sure
@@thatoneguy022 😂😂😂
Got to give him respect for that regardless of who he is.
He is someone I remember very well back in 2018. The whole look he has now was really coming together. He is unique and such a kind and gentle soul, I’m not anything close to emo but I love his look.
save for eating a burger in the intro to mock her eating disorder....
Being kind isn't working. Being tough isn't working. She's too far gone mentally. She is so far gone in her ED that it's her entire personality. I'm speaking from experience before anyone comes for me. Its so hard to come out of but you are the only one who can help yourself.
TRUE 100%
IMO, its more than an ED. IMO, its Narcissistic Personality Disorder. They live for Attention (Narcissistic Supply). And they create an Alter-Ego persona. Her alter, is this "Character". It gets her unlimited amounts of attention... as well as boatloads of cash.
Yeah the only thing that might wake her up would be if everyone stopped watching her, stopped engaging but that will never happen
Her brain is fried - gone. She uses the same 7 words in every sentence.
@@acepierceson4430 because she exploits it. She knows she has a problem but profits from it. If she didn't have an ED, not many would watch her. And that's sad. Everyone's just there for the train wreck.
I'm not a doctor or a psychiatrist, but I have the sneaking suspicion that her mother is "living through her." She probably always wanted to be thin and famous.
I think Eugenia's Mother was likely not present emotionally, focused on her image. Yet when Eugenia started getting attention online and told her mother, she showed interest (does anyone remember her dressing her preppy and the singing to the camera :/), I think Eugenia is trying to earn her mother's approval subconsciously.. and the weight thing was probably a coping mechanism as a child to insecure attachment and bullying.. and it's all she knows, it gave her a feeling of control over feelings that were too hard for her - the overly positive avoidance of hard topics, brushing off things, its all quite avoidant.. she says she wants to make others happy, people to be happy, know one knows how hard on herself she is inside. But one thing is clear, she loves nightmare before Christmas and I cant help feeling she likes looking like the characters, it may have been something that made her happy earlier on in a hard time.. Her mother does come across quite self-interested, the only time I saw real happiness from her was when she said a mothers joy is getting to dress your daughter up like a Disney princess :/ I'm guessing she never had an emotional support/help to deal with early life bullying and hard feelings.
*Her mother has Asperger's,that explains her behavior. Her mom is nothing that you people are saying.*
Woah, such a long formulated sentence to say:her mother is probably fat. Haha
No... Eugenia is doing this all on her own. Thinking she's actually somebody by starving herself... and encouraging her innocent young crowd to follow suit.
...
No sympathy. Not a fan. She needs to go... anyway somehow.
@@peachdreams That's a very interesting theory which is why I don't really know if there is a point of return because we know and she knows also that she wouldn't be this famous without looking like that and is terrified of getting help because of the fear to lose what she has gained so far which is wealth, providing for her family and " success "
I struggled with an eating disorder when I was younger. I would love it when people would say I looked "scary thin" and like I was "going to die", it's bad to say, but I lived off of that worry and attention, it just fed into my disorder even more. Looking back, I hate myself for doing that to myself and the people around me, but when you're deep into the disorder, you do become very narcissistic and selfish. It's just a characteristic of the disorder. Thats the wall you were talking about, is that, the narcissism. The moment you stop feeding into the disorder and the narcissism, you are cut off. So, unfortunately, no amount of worry will make a difference. If she doesn't want help, then there really isn't anything you can say to convince her otherwise.
Thank you for your openness, it helps me understand.
I miss being thin so I can relate
@@erikafirst817 girl.. u don’t wanna be thin cuz people make fun of u then u have a insecurity of being “too skinny”
It's because eating disorders are an addiction, and as we know with addictions it consumes the person. You're on point, if someone doesn't want help there is nothing you can do or say that will reach them. Thank you for being so open about your experience, really hope you are well.
It's so sad because a movie I watched on ED a woman side ill be happy when the scale says 0. So sad.
"The worst feeling is greiving someone who's still alive"
Dayum...
That's so true. My sister lost her life due to complications from anorexia, and drug use, she died a slow painful death. I wish people would have been more nice, than make fun. I might still have my sister. I told her how wonderful she was all the time. She would to me, "you have to say that, ur my sister. She might have know I ment every word, had everyone else not have been so mean.
This comment ... my heart breaks even more
@@christinamcneely7853 you’re wonderful.
@@christinamcneely7853 that's what I've been telling my mother at my worst times. That maybe if she had other daughter (or a son) she would've had a choice to love another child of hers that is not so damaged and complicated to deal with. I mean, that's what my father did - he got another child and threw me out. I just can't believe she really loves me, I can't believe anyone is able to love a person that is so not okay. It's unpleasant and uncomfortable to be around a person like me, how can anyone possibly enjoy that?
this is most genuine and down to earth video ive seen about her. she really does deserve the empathy that you give her. i really hope she see this video.. I hope she reaches out to anyone.. very heartbreaking to watch someones health decline so publicly.
Empathy is a driving factor with eating disorders. It doesn't help, it fuels it.
Sympathy is the ultimate enabler. A literal sociopath would help her more that a sappy weakling who genuinely cares.
"empathetic" as his thumbnail is literally him eating a burger to mock eating disorders. sure, real nice guy move there.
@@Amused_Comfort_Inc Seems like nothing helps
For sure she will die and is going to . I don’t want to regret anything I’ve said . So sad to hear she does this to put her brother thru college and keep stop over her head All that is just tainted . What she will leave behind is karma for family who didn’t do some heavy a** tough love !!!! She may pass 15:10 but they will endure the wrath I guarantee it
This is one if the most mature responses to her ive seen. Those who are angry with her have the right to be but this really is the best way to open a conversation in which she may actually listen
It's completely inappropriate to be angry with someone who has a severe mental health problem driving all their actions. Being angry with her is no different to getting angry with someone who has developed schizophrenia and acting strange ways due to it but it's even worst than that as she's also a dying person due to a condition she never would have asked to get nor caused. One could compare this as people getting angry at someone which severe schizophrenia who is dying from cancer. It's truly a sick thing people getting angry at her, a completely uncompassionate thing and the people doing it should be looking at their own actions of why they are being so horrible and criticizing another when they themselves act so badly.
@@tanyabrown9839 Yeah. Not really the same though, is it. I took care of people with Schizophrenia and have worked with those who have passed due to cancer. Not one of them flaunted their illnesses nor did they actively pursued it, I mean, you get that right? Their is some responsibility that can be put on her. She's almost 30 and in no way, shape or form does she want or try to get better. She has no intention of setting a good example but in actuality she intentionally does the opposite. No, she doesn't say for anyone to follow in her footsteps but she is well aware that young girls will choose to begin starving themselves. So, you can't say that about people who have Schizophrenia and cancer can you? No. You can't.
@@tanyabrown9839 So, what came first? The eating disorder or the mental illness? She CHOSE to starve herself. Schizophrenics didn't CHOOSE to have a mental illness. Wtf?!
@@kkittycatkat1990 Thank you!
Why do they have the right to be?
I watched my stepson slowly kill himself with heroin for 15 years. He passed a few months ago and the devastation will ripple through our family forever. "Why can't you get better?" hits so hard. Some people don't want to get better.
I believe her family gives tacit approval so the money keeps flowing in. They will not care until the gravy train stops. wait and see.
It's so very hard to accept the things you can't change, especially when all you feel is that you should be doing more. That you could have done something more and that it's your fault, or that you've failed because you didn't try hard enough.
No. Every human being has their own responsibility. If you genuinely tried everything you could think of and sought advice everywhere you could find any and nothing worked, then you've done all you can and maybe it's finally time to let go.
It's not about wanting or not wanting.
Ur gross for that. Superiority issues.
Everyone wants to get better,but they can't figure out how. To get off something just to go back to the haunting threatening thoughts feels silly to someone suffering. It isn't the best but it is the most effective way to quickly get relief.
Sometimes they want, but they can't. That's what really kills them.
It's so sad how when you showed an older clip of her, she looked so much more healthy than she does now despite still being sick in that older clip. It goes to show that she has progressed & hasn't stopped. It breaks my heart that nothing can be done to really help her.
Abuse and a controlling family may be all she knows. That may be why she doesn't see the problem. The only thing she can control is her body. It's also so integrated into her identity and sense of self worth. You can really feel how much emo war chicken really cares. I hope one day she gets better and realizes.
Spoton
Exactly what I did in an abusive relationship
I didn't even realize I had an ED Until I saw Eugenia
It was the only thing I could control
& I didn't even realize how bad my situation was because of gaslighting & Cognitive dissonance
No proof that she was abused in any capacity. Looks like she has it pretty damn good if you ask me. It's Ultimately her own fault, nobody else did this to her. This is the life she is choosing.
I don't 😃
I’ve seen videos that she’s done with her mother, and she just acts as if her daughter slowly killing herself is completely normal, it kills me that Eugenia’s mother is enabling it.
A parent’s job is to keep their kid alive and healthy and so far her mother has failed on the latter and soon enough she’ll have failed the former too.
That’s so true I feel like Eugenia mother is using her for fame and money 🥺 if I see my own daughter looking like that i’ll get help
Your words, your tone, your honest reactions to this break my heart for those people who actually KNOW Eugenia.

Love to hear what you think a year later with even farther deterioration plus the Jeffree Star “friendship.”
This is the first video of yours I've seen. And it is the most intelligent, and compassionately objective overview of euginia I've seen. You promote love and compassion without ignoring the very core realities of what you observe to be true and what it will take in order for her to have a chance at survival. I hope that makes sense to yall because it makes sense to me.
She was kept in the *little girl people pleaser* role for so long (and is still there, sadly), eating/weight is the only thing she can truly control.😭😭😭
She kept herself in that role.
it's kinda like the whole Karen carpenter situation how she grew up, she wanted to please her mom, her brother, the record company, fans but she lost sight of herself and thought the only thing she could control was her body and what she put in it and it didn't end well for her sadly either

@@K94406 You misspelled Trump.
@@WillSing4TP and you're delusional
She barely moves, and her outings are probably under a few hours. She probably feels horrible afterwards, and needs a day to recover. Surviving the Apocalypse, would likely mean... having to fend of others, fight for whatever food scraps you could find, travel harsh terrain in very bad conditions. Even the healthiest of people, will find it very difficult to survive... and someone like her, will perish quite quickly.
I have suffered from allergies to wheat, which starved my body of critical nutrients. It caused me to be constantly Tired, easily irritable/angered, depressed most of the time, slow in responses / brain fog, horrible pains in my body and joints. My body healed 10x slower, so things like bruises might stay with me for 2 weeks to a month. Nails and teeth got brittle and weak... and as a result, I spent several thousand per year, trying to keep repairing my teeth... as they kept rotting, no matter how well I took care of them. It was a horrible decade of declining health, before I found out the main issue. But even then, the damages are done... and I will never be the same, because of it.
You will often see a lot of the same issues with long term Vegans.
Its quite sad, because at her healthy weight, she looked very pretty. She clearly has a disorder, and uses her current "Image", as a way to get attention / money. My guess, is Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Attention, is their most valued currency. Its what they live for.
@@WillSing4TP no...no they didn't. They spelled it coherently unfortunately for you, and the whole incoherent democratic party. Good luck in Novembs...y'all gonna need it.
This is the most respectful video about her that I have ever seen. You can hear how close you were in your voice as you speak of her! She needs real friends like you, who don't cater to her but don't put her down either. TRUST IS NEEDED TO HEAL
Nice balanced suggestion
Unfortunately she's benefitting from this financially at this point. It's been too long. Her audience can't help her. He's absolutely correct. It has to come from within her.
THere is absolutely NO NEED for her to gain anything financially. Have you ever seen the video of the house she lives in? She is from an extremely wealthy background. Her home looks likke a Castle. Money is definitely not a need of hers.
I think you're spot on. Until she has a major health event I don't think she'll stop. I was on drugs for decades telling myself that I was fine.....until I wasn't...& that scared me enough to stop. Unfortunately eating disorders cause terrible problems to Internal organs, that sometimes are not reversible. So when she's ready it may well.be too late.
That’s the worst part. Knowing that even if she does survive it may be a brutal existence for her. 😔 I hope not. I hope she gets better and can live a healthy happy life.
at this point her "major health event" will be death. i doubt she could survive anything really in that state
It'll be too late. I imagine her heart muscle is horribly weakened and one day she will barely strain and it will give out.
My husband had a similar experience. He had to have a really bad experience to get away from it. That was many, many years ago and he’s never relapsed. I really pray Eugenia does get help before its too late, but it’s not looking good. :(
Lost my best friend, partner in crime, soul mate, sister, whatever you want to call it... to a fent od. Havent touched anything since and I will never ever again.
it's so heartbreaking seeing a real person losing their friend to this situation.
Your words strike true. As someone who loves an alcoholic (different disease but still addiction), not me or my kids will make him change. It's his choice and I know this. We can't plead with her to change. She HAS to want it.
The sadness in your eyes as you watch her videos is heart breaking.
Thank you for making this.
It's beyond me how lil controlled alcohol is.....theres not many things that will out right kill you to quit but alcohol is one. You hear the Politician's talking how "Guns and Opiate are a National Health Crisis"....Alcohol kills just as many every year, there is no outrage becsuse it's not about health.
so ur letting ur kids have to live thru and deal with an alcoholic as a father ? year ur disgusting
@Trinity M You are incorrect about eating disorders & addiction.
According to the NIH: Addictive behavior manifests itself in permanent preoccupation with food and eating, withdrawal symptoms, continuation of disturbed eating behavior in spite of negative consequences, loss of control, and frequent relapse.
You can really see it in his eyes that he does care.
@Nicholas #51Mazel tov!🥳🥰
I watched a livestream with her one day, and I think someone mentioned that an outfit made her look "fat"......watching her spiral after that comment was one of the saddest things I've seen in my life.
That’s actually so heartbreaking.. I don’t get how people can encourage her illness. She’s obviously genuinely in pain
I've seen many people tell her that she looks pregnant. Horrible
I had a friend pass from anorexia a few years ago. She battled with it for a long time. I can feel your pain and heartbreak in your voice. Im sorry.
Im sorry for your loss❤
I'm someone who battled what my therapists and I call a drug induced bulemia. I can't make myself vomit, but I discovered pain pills and heroin surely did. I rapidly lost weight until I was so skinny people would be shocked. This shock value FUELED my ED like a wildfire. My mom once held my pants up while we were at the laundromat one day and showed people saying "can you believe my 21 year old wears these? A 6 year old can fit into these!" And the euphoria I got from that was astronomical. I absolutely loooved it when people gasped at me and said "you look like a skeleton!"
The only way this girl will have a fighting chance.. is to have her banned on all platforms. She is the poster child for Thinspo which in the ED world.. that's a badge of fucking honor. Everyone in the world would die (fucking literally) to be on a pro Ana/ pro Mia thinspo page. And as said, she's making so much money to carry her family she has so many "responsibilities" she's taking on as her own which just shouldn't be.
There are so many things fueling this and it pains me bc.. she's never gonna get better if something doesnt change. Fuck if I had the audience she has.. I would've never gotten better either.
Pain pills and heroin only make you throw up when u first take them. U very rapidly get used to the drug so ur comment is ridiculous!
Sympathy only goes so far though. People start giving up on you after awhile of begging you to get better.
She's gonna end up alone and gone... over what?... being starved to death?
..
And there's people in the world actually starving.. unintentionally.
.. yeah she doesn't have my sympathy and many others are in the same boat about it.
Btw... I'm happy to hear you're getting better. I hope you're still on the right track.
So maybe her Mom tried to get her help, but it made it worse?
Glad you got better. No one can replace you. Every soul comes to this realm is unique.
The way Ritchie says ,,"man" and "look at her arms" was GUTERALLY HONEST REACTION. She wears her hair that way so you can't see how deep the pits on her shoulders go in.
I think she wears her hair like this to disguise the thinning and bald spots. There's no way she doesnt have major hair loss
@@phoenixfresh8681 Agreed. And I'm pretty sure she wouldn't try to cover up anything about her appearance that has something to do with being so thin. Unfortunately, that's just part of the disorder. :/
@@chipsho3990 So, you agree or disagree with me? I'm confused
@@phoenixfresh8681 Agree, but I just wanted to give a second opinion of what could be possible as well.
I'm surprised she still has that much hair
This was actually a really respectful video. Thank you Richie
The clickbait was him eating a burger while she cries.
@@sherlockholmes891 I moreso was referring to the way he spoke in the actual video. I'm aware he still uses clickbait.
He’s always usually very respectful but people judge him because he cheated on his exs
Except for the Native American chief headdress that he is appropriating of course. That is disrespectful as all fuck.
How is this respectful? He literally shoved a burger in his mouth
This video came off as a real "growing up" point for you. Your appearance and speech in this is more professional. I hope this version of you stays.
Me too
He's eating a burger in the thumbnail.
@@uns33n people are allowed humor, Mary.
@@kai0tfoool of course. But i wouldn't call it growing up or being more professional in appearance
About time
Sad part is most people die from a ED after they recover because their heart gives out or so I read :( i don’t know what lead her to where she is she really seems like a kind person but completely lost in her delusions. I hope she finds her way ❤
It’s awful that’s she’s gonna die young either way, even if she recovers, I just hope that she’s happy when she goes, because she does seem genuinely sweet, just incredibly troubled.
definitely not most but it certainly happens if not from organ failure first
Most people who recover from an ed can live a long healthy life. Most people who die from organ failure due to their ed were anorexic for decades and never recovered.
This is why professional treatment is so important. She should be monitored medically while she is putting on weight.
Part of the reason people die after treatment is the body is so accustomed to the light weight and the heart withering away. Once the weight goes on, the fragile heart has to work harder at pumping blood through a body twice it’s size that it was at sickness. The kidneys were shutting down and didn’t really have to filter much. The colon isn’t accustomed to bulk passing through and has trouble expanding its shrunken state when food arrives.
After months of starvation, eating becomes very difficult. It’s painful. The body wants to reject food, yet it needs food to survive.
She has a long road ahead of her, if she decides to live.
I felt moved by your facial expression of almost crying and compassion just seeing her. It is really heartbreaking and morbid
It's amazing how your sadness and heart break comes through the make up and contacts. Just shows how much you truely do care for her. I cry every time I see her. This is a beautiful video. (I love the new set too)
You don't... and if you actually do.. you need help. Empth dont even do that
Alabama!
@@jmathis2aug I would ask what are you talking about, but I dont want to know what you mean, so I'm just going to say be quiet instead.
This was extremely mature of you and well said. Thank you.
Set up and new outfit looks really good
Also this does seem like a more genuine style of reaction than you usually get
You make good points and speak eloquently which is nice to listen to
This🎉
I second that
Yeah, great acting
Was a subscriber way back in your first days. Left after the whole Jaclyn thing, and came back to check in and was pleasantly surprised. This man is proof that people can, and do change, evolve, and grow from past mistakes. You can feel the heart of who Richie is here, and it's so nice. The empathy shown here I hadn't seen in the past. It's nice to see this side of Richie . I've re subbed and am looking forward to this era social repose.
If you ever wanted to check on Jaclyn, shes married to David Michael Frank now and has a baby with him.
What was his past mistake?
@@dawnriddlerhe cheated on herafe weird videos about her pregnancy and then cheated on another girl xx
😂 That's funny
@@dawnriddlerHe is a serial cheater. He hasn't changed.
Thank you for being kind and also empathic to her. She does have to make the choice. Addictions come in all shapes and sizes. Psychological illnesses are extremely difficult to treat if the person is not receptive.
It's so sad she seems like such a lovely girl but she is in denial about the fact she has an illness which sadly will end up killing her. ❤️❤️❤️
She’s been alive for so many years, she’s gonna be fine
@@Witch6ladez That’s the thing tho, people with Ed’s can usually live with it for years, but if they can’t overcome their demons they will die.
@@Witch6ladez that's a dumb take, that's like saying Someone that is obese lived many years so that means it's all fine
@@Witch6ladez people can also live for many years with cancer, that does t mean they’re fine and that their illness can’t eventually kill them.
@@Witch6ladez its only a matter of time before her body shatters and cant take it anymore
You said you were goth, I wasn't expecting an elvin king
You know, he is a really good example of “you aren’t the same person in your 30s as you were when you were in your early 20s”. The internet has made Richie a villain, but man I love me a redemption arc like this. True growth here. True empathy. I am glad he is still around to teach this lesson. Kudos
@NPC 1337 This is a video of his 'downfall' ruclips.net/video/cpd5VynEzqc/видео.html
to be honest the first time I saw him, it seemed like he put on a overally positive mask, and never dived into much depth, now I see he is a geniune man, he was probably hiding all this time.
Hey Blondie : who the heck is Richie ?!!!
@NPC 1337 he’s still shit lol
redemption my ass. he still has that god awful intro of him appropriating cultures like mine. this is not redemption. this video is monetized and he’s making money off of his commentary of a dying woman.
As a mother my heart breaks for her.
Her mother doesn't care.

As a Mother I'm pissed right off at hers.
@@BatshtPassionate agreed. My daughter would be in a facility to get help instead of letting her rot away
For sure, same. Can't believe she's not ashamed of herself:'(
Her Mother is her enabler, she makes loads of money off her skeletal daughter.
This was so heartfelt and sincere.
Your reactions are genuine and truly from a caring place. I don't see how she has continued as long as she has. I really wish she could get to a healthy place.
It's like a drug addict. You can say anything, do anything for them. At the end of the day, the only one changing anything is ourselves. Nobody can do it for you. You can give support until you're blue in the face. I hope she decides what's best for herself
She comes across as a sweet person, it is such a shame that she looks so ill now. Eugenia needs to live her life, whether anyone likes it or not. i hope one day she finds the peace she deserves.
I was watching Of Herbs and Altars and she said a bad trip cured her anorexia when she realized how stupid she was in the grand scheme of things, a child could survive better than her, if they were hungry they would go into the kitchen, climb on the counters or something go into the fridge and get some food, as simple as that, and she was making it a whole complicated thing. I just thought was interesting to share.
I love them. Although they unfortunately still struggle with anorexia and have relapsed. So the drug story was just a moment of realization that they had that didnt last long. Anorexia is a life long struggle. You can manage it but you never 100% get over it. Just like drugs or achohol. They made a video about Eugenia recently which was very eye opening. In their experience, anorexic people they have known don't make it once they reach their 30s. They suspect either next year or in 2025 Eugenia will sadly pass away.
Dorian has some good insights into Eugenia's state of mind. His videos on Eugenia are worth watching
I think anorexia is similar to drug addiction. The only person who can stop it is the person going through it. I think you are correct also that there is no reason to bully her or say hey get some help, most likely that will only make her run toward her goal faster.
It all goes back to trauma and mental illness. When your brain is sick, it’s hard as hell to be healthy
I didnt cry when I first watched her videos you're showing but now I am so close to crying because of your reactions. They're exactly what I was thinking but you've said it out loud and now I know I'm not the only one pained by her. Her mental health is affecting her physical so bad and I wish someone would help her
I LOVE THIS FORMAT. THE THRONE. THE MAKE UP. THE MANNER. THE ETIQUETTE. THE GODLY GOTH VIBES. ITS LIKE THE DIVINE COMING FOR ITS OFFSPRING IN THE MOST POLITE WAY.
You know, I've avoided your channel for a few years now, and coming back, I'd say you've really grown as a person, and it's really nice to see. Thanks for that, Richie. And Thank you for this respectful video towards Eugenia. I can't imagine actually having her as a friend and seeing her condition. It's heartbreaking enough as just a viewer to see her, but being her actual friend I can see this being devastating. We all want her better, I just wish she wanted it too. She's basically gone farther than before going to rehab, and it's really hard to witness, and be able to do absolutely nothing to help her. She's retracted all statements of how rehab had helped her. She denies anything to do with having a problem, and anyone at all who has well wishes whether or not they are worded "nicely" she views as haters. She says she has absolutely no intention of getting help again, and it's so frustrating. I was really rooting for her, and to have her go back on the entirety of her recovery is disheartening. I can't bring myself to view her videos or streams anymore. She's such a beautiful girl, but this disorder has really changed her and turned her spiteful and cold towards anyone who wishes her well. She's not the same sweet Eugenia that she used to be, and I get that people change, but the neglect of her family doing ANYTHING to help her infuriates me. I sometimes just want to shake her mother for not stepping in, and instead ignoring the issue, and letting it get this bad AGAIN, and worst of all playing CAMERAMAN, but at the end of the day, all that will do is push her even farther away to the point of pure isolation... It's just really sad. It's equally as sad knowing she has nobody other than the toxic cesspool that is her stream to talk to along with her family who is enabling everything. At this point I really feel like nothing can be done, and one day we just wont hear from her anymore and everyone will play heartbroken and milk that too, knowing damn well at the end of the day they could've stepped in. It's just a double edged blade at this point. Try to force help and get pushed away, or let her be and let her die. It feels hopeless. She has to want the help, and she just simply doesn't.
I wonder what she sees when she looks in the mirror
My aunt Josephine was between 58-67 pounds almost her whole life she was like this and no one could help her. When she rushed my cousin to the hospital they put my aunt on a gurny instead and she was cursing at them. We thought she was going to die all the time from it but she didnt. She was in a bad car acxident when she was in her late 60's and she passed away but she lived like thaty whole life. It is sad and scary but dont lose hope in her, God don't!
I love this video. Thank you. I used to be as thin as Eugenia and overcame it. I am now raising a family and quite happy, but I can never forget what it felt like to be there. The critics won’t help her. Something has to move her to change and that something is self love. There is hope for her. She will be in my heart.
I am really sorry you have to watch your former friend go through this. Even if you’re not friends anymore I’m sure it’s hard for you. I hope you’re taking care of yourself too.
It is heartbreaking to see her like this. She doesn’t want to listen to those who care about her who want to see her get better but she’s too far gone for any help now. It’s such a shame she turned out like this 😔
Great video. I dont think Eugenia can leave, as you explained she seems financial trapped.
I imagine she would be a great role model for others suffering with eating disorders, if she could find a way to manage her own.
Change her channel into one of inspiration, write a book. Might be wishful thinking, but whats the alternative?
Hope she finds a path out of her situation.
i often think about her and go to her channel just to make sure she's still alive, and that's sad. Thing is some of these people don't understand how it is to be broken, to put on a happy face when inside you are falling down a rabbit hole and struggling to get back up. It is a hard thing to get better, to suddenly decide things need to change because in the end your mind is your own enemy. I know i struggle all the time with my mind for different reasons but for people to attack her is only going to make her fall deeper down that hole, and that isn't fair.
A lot of respect and tough love in this. I love seeing young people calling out some of these dark aspects of social media with good intentions
She is treating her own condition as content, look at her thumb nails, look at her social media. The best thing everyone could do would just be to stop watching her, stop giving it the attention. But that will never happen.
Exactly. She can't get healthy... she'll lose her relevance and her livelihood.
@@chaoswitch1974 I feel that her recovery would make her more popular actually, but she doesn’t see that no it’s really sad

My heart breaks for you man I grew up watching you and Eugenia and so many others and to see her like this hurts me. I couldn't imagine how you feel rn
How can she be so energetic in that shape ? I mean how is she even alive??
This is heartbreaking. I've been where she is body wise and it's horrible to be going through. And so many people treat you like shit because of it. It took me till I was in my mid 20's before I got the real help I needed. It was a long hard painfully surreal road. And I can only hope that she can find her way.
I can't relate to anorexia but I was pretty frail before I went on my antidepressants and that was due to my body using so much energy to process thoughts when I had advanced panic disorder. I gained 13kgs in a month on them and was able to recall memories that had been buried due to traumatic memory blocks which is a real thing, I would experience short term memory loss from stress aswell. Mental health should be nurtured and restored if it's in jeopardy. I am glad I got better but it took suffering that most people can never understand to actually get better. I know how mentally your physical health can be affected and it sucks
She just makes me sad, every time I see a post about her I'm afraid it's going to say she's dead 😔 I really thought she was going to get better a year or so ago.
the fact that her mother is full figured and her daughter is decaying from thinness, that is concerning
Girly what 💀

It was kind of you to post this. She needs to be honest with herself until that time, there will be no change
one of the worst things about being that sick is never admitting to yourself and tohers you are sick
Eugenia looks so sick it’s heartbreaking, there’s no way this is a happy girl.
The composition of that thumbnail and the way she seems to parade around in tiny outfits and shows as much of her body as possible, it seems on purpose at this point. She KNOWS people are going to have things to say about her body, whether that be good or bad, but it feels to me like that’s exactly what she wants. So long as the comment mentions how drastically thin she is, she’s happy. That’s what she wants. Even though there are people out there who genuinely want to help her, even those negative comments are giving her what she wants - people to say how thin she is. It’s feeding (no pun intended) that demon in her mind
I don’t have an ED but I’ve heard others say that negative comments are what people like EC want. That shocked “omg you look like a skeleton” is affirmation to her that she’s skinny.
This is actually one of the best Eugenia videos I've seen. Good analysis, mature, well spoken and it's obvious you care so much for her, even now. Thank you.
Yes. ❤️
I'm glad someone said it
I hope the word gets out and people start seeing that forcing someone into something only causes more damage
You are right. No one can force her to get better. That is the reality of the situation. Sadly, it keeps getting worse (I'm writing this in late 2024), and I can't imagine how awful it all is for her! I wish her peace and hope she chooses to get help one day.
I'm really, really enjoying your newer content! When you lean into your goth identity it seems to really work for you. I hope it isn't causing you to feel worse than your other content because this is really enjoyable!
Wow you can tell your heart breaks for her. You are genuine, and you worded it perfectly. I hope she watches this. You are right she needs to choose herself.
Oh man, I could see your heart break upon seeing her. Wish her the best, even though I don't know who she is.
I'm a new sub, only found your videos performing music. You have one hell of a voice, and a good sense of humor. Looking forward to more of your videos. You familiar with puddles pity party? I think you two would get along super well honestly. Maybe we could see a collaboration with you two.

Her family is rich though, why would she have to provide for them and pay for her brothers college, when her parents are loaded? Someone please explain. 😳
Just because she doesn’t explicitly say, “look like me! Here’s how you do it!” doesn’t mean that she isn’t promoting anorexia. What an odd take. It’s her whole brand. And her family is very wealthy, so it’s unclear to me where the idea that she financially supports her family comes from. I appreciate wanting to approach her situation from a measured and sympathetic angle, but it’s possible to feel basic human compassion for her without pretending that’s she’s better or more altruistic than she is. I think she’s a manipulative and calculating person with a very limited moral compass. I also genuinely hope for her sake that she gets better and grows as a person. Two things can be true.
I was bulimic when I was younger and then got into hard substances later on and the similarity is exactly as you said that people need to show those struggling kindness because ultimately no one will fully change for anyone but themselves and if everyone’s shouting get better it’s not gonna happen unless the person truly wants it
Very well said bro. Just discovered her story this morning and it hurt my heart.... the first few videos I watched did much the same. It was nice to hear a coherent cohesive one sided conversation about her. Tragedies take all forms... this one is weird.
I lost my best friend and lover to addiction. There is something so eerily reminiscent about this situation. It makes me so sad and uncomfortable. I hate to say it, I have no hope for this situation.
This video was very well put together. I’d written a novel and deleted it but I’ll say this, you’re right about a lot. No one can push her to help herself, except her. I do feel that Cooney’s family could do more. If her family is sitting back getting a free ride in life, living off of their daughter/sisters income, they need to stop. They need to begin paying for their own expenses. It’s time Eugenia rest.
Her family is rich - they don't need her money. No one can help an anorexic but themselves. Period. Family and friends can help - only when that help is asked for, wanted, and welcomed.
@@NicoleLaurenEsq I know, I’ve lived it. A struggle I don’t wish for anyone.
Loving the set up Richie the throne is awesome and your look incredible as always. Loved this video especially the burger at the beginning so tragic. Truly hope she gets the help she needs and gets well. I believe she loves the attention it gets her which is really sad. Great video as always. 💜
The saddest thing I've ever seen is Eugenia trying to throw a basketball more than 1 foot into the air.
First time I've seen her or you. A thumbnail appeared and I was shocked so took a look. For maybe a minute. So saddened by what I saw. Then I saw this post, and you talk a lot of good sense. Thank you for your efforts on her behalf. A touch of sanity in an insane world. I wish Eugenia a full recovery, if she ever learns how to love herself. But I will never open another of her posts. My own son, at 40, is dying of cancer. That's enough grief for me to deal with. Good luck xxx
I like this Goth Reacts format and yeah, Eugenia is heartbreaking.
I hope she gets better one day, it's a shame the rehab thing didn't work for her I was really hoping we would see her thrive and just bloom in to a new woman that had the whole world at her feet. Instead it seems that the experience affected her so badly she shut herself off from society, is scared of having any friendships at all and has just become a complete recluse and her mental illness has spiralled out of control.
I really don't have much hope for her at this point.
Thanks for making this video and sharing those little clips from years and years ago.
probably not. her body looks like it became so bad to the point it can’t go back to where it used to be. someday she’ll go to bed and never wake up again, maybe even fall down and never be able to get up again.
My issue with her is the double standard on all of these platforms. Instagram/youtube/twitch would be so quick to reprimand any woman flashing her privates so frequently yet she just gets away with it
That’s true but I also hate how a lot of great genuine content creators get flagged and shadowbannend while people like her and nicadoadvocado are literally killing themselves for views and it’s just okay
I found this to be the most respectful and emphatic video analysis about Eugenia Cooney.. I would be grateful to have a friend like you. Also to treat her (or anyone for that matter) with kindness and valuing her autonomy that way I agree is the way to deal with others through life. Happy I came across this video, there are still good people in the world.
Please just keep this redemption ark going. I'm subscribing again after so long lmao.
Growth is real ✨️✨️
i'm so here for this series. love that it's not about starting drama, just.. genuine reaction.
what's worrying is that you can see her legs have a pinkish-purplish tone to them which means the circulatory system is getting affected and in one video she had a coughing attack due to fluttering in her throat but she put her hand on her chest, that means the heart rhythm is irregular. she's so far gone and unless she actually wants help soon, I don't think she will be alive much longer
You should do more of these breakdowns with your viewpoints, it’s really interesting man!
Love and kindness is telling someone they’re going to die unless they get immediate and serious help. Yeah she has to make the decision herself, but when someone is holding a gun to their own head do you tell them to make their own decision or do you try to stop them? When a person is standing on the edge of a cliff about to jump to their death do you tell them we care about you so you make your own decision or do you say we care about you so don’t do this, we’ll get you help? It’s no different, she’s a danger to her own life, if anyone actually cares about her they would intervene in a way which makes it objectively clear to her that she needs help but she doesn’t believe she needs help and your beliefs don’t dictate the fabric of reality.
Thank you for dissecting this situation in such a caring, mature, and knowledgable manner. It's such a bad situation, and I'm so sorry for her. She does deserve love.
I’m very new to your channel, (40 mins ago) but I came across this and the way you speak with such genuine care and concern and yet are so real about the resentment and pain you yourself have felt regarding Eugenia, it’s wonderful and something I have rarely seen. You’re so eloquent and sincere and I’m really glad I came about your channel x
Bruh you are VERY new. This guy is a psychopath.
Eugenia will never get better because her livelihood depends on it. She knows the score, she knows exactly why so many view her channel. Some out of curiosity, some sick weirdos, some concerned but none to watch her haul videos and she knows this. I have no sympathy for her whatsoever, I did but not anymore and I disagree with you about her channel, she should be removed. As for not getting her help, the last time bought her some time, I have a feeling that she has very little left and while I don't believe anyone can force an adult to seek help, her mother disgusts me. She may not be able to force Eugenia to get help but she sure as hell can refuse to record videos for her. Her family is enabling her and as a parent myself I can't for the life of me understand how that woman can look at her daughter and help her make vids for youtube, it sickens me.
👏👏👏👏
Omgggg so true 😯
Ehh I actually disagree with you. Your speaking as if you Know her. Everything you said is Allegedly based on Your perspective not necessarily Facts. This is why I don't watch the euginia Cooney expose video y'all be reaching lol Y'all act like y'all know the mf lol You never met her You literally can't base someone state of mentality based on a fucking RUclips video lol I'm sure she she mental illness but if I'm being fair Most people who dealt with anorexia all had a different perspective of how they view themselves, Mental illness, and don't feel like there that bad until it's to late. I'm not gonna sit here and be a RUclips Comment section detective and act like I
I know she does everything on purpose and she Knows what she doing lol like bruh you sound like them Creepy ass dudes that say "She knows what she doing" when girls wear skinny jeans lol like dude Relax Some people are just doing them you don't know what she battled and neither do I but I'm not gonna act like I do either lol Mental illness is terrible and a very powerful silent killer. Everything you said is surface level. Similar to the Saying about the Class clown how they are the most happy, energetic, funny and so on but usually have problems are home... You can't tell what people go thru from surface level.
so true well said. she knows exactly what she is doing and the continued fans telling her how good she looks it's scary. Truly hope she does get better.
Her mom is definitely a HUGE part of the problem and she too is catering to the ED fetishists by filming up Eugenia's skirt and zooming in on certain parts of her body in some videos. It's really gross and sad. I wish somebody could just get through to Eugenia but as long as she lives in a home where her sickness is enabled, she'll never get better and she will most likely die from this....
I’m glad you randomly came up on my feed. I love listening to you very realistic and sound mind. Be looking forward to more^^
I’ve only seen some of the brief reels of your music until today when RUclips brought me here after seeing a video on EC and I just wanted to tell you thank you for such a truly empathetic video. She may feel she has no friends irl, and the two of you may not be close anymore, but she does have at least ONE actual friend whether she knows it or not, you’re one of the only people I’ve seen that has shown her true kindness. I’m just a stranger on the internet but I’m grateful for you taking the lead here and instead of jumping on the negative, you are teaching by example that showing love in a sick world matters. Please don’t stop speaking for what you believe. You have a deeper purpose here and there are many that need to hear your message. Thank you for being kind to this girl. She has a severe disease and it sadly may win unless she can get the help she needs. Ultimately she has to decide that and when you are struggling with mental health it can be so very hard to get through. I just appreciate so much that you are showing the world that loving and having empathy is nothing to be ashamed of. Thank you for sharing your message. I hope Eugenia will be ok and can find it within herself to heal and I hope that the right people will be around her and she will be open to getting help so she can survive. I’m worried about her and I don’t know her at all. I can’t imagine her being one of my friends at one time and having to watch from afar as this happens to her. It is heartbreaking. 💔
My husband's almost as thin as Eugenia Cooney because of anorexia nervosa but the weird thing is he hates how he looks and does not want to be skinny...its because of trauma. He does it to himself because he's never hungry and he's depressed and hates his his life. My husband has been through more pain than the majority of people I've ever met. His brother committed suicide when he was only 13. He was raised by narcissists and almost became a sociopath
Very well said. What no one seems to be asking that I have wondered from the first time I saw her was, "What is the reason behind her condition" She has something deep inside her that needs healing. Her response to whatever the damage/trauma is, is to not eat. It's not just that she doesn't want to eat for nothing, it's that something happened to her which has caused her to take this line of response. I hope she does make the choice to get help. It is very sad to see someone so beautiful throwing away her life like this. Personally I rarely ever watch her, nor am I subscriber to her as it is so upsetting seeing her like this. I wish her the best and hope that she will get help and survive to have a more beautiful and fulfilling life.
At some point your brain shrinks. Literally. Mine did. I have the MRI 's at a certain BMI. It CAN be undone but only so much and in a certain time.
Eating disorders, particularly anorexia are almost always caused by a need to gain control of an aspect your life. So someone has probably made her feel like she doesn't have any control, at least when it started
@@misscommunication6270 And she may also have fear issues with possibly ever being overweight. However, you may be exactly right.
She was 5150’d and cut everyone off, she doesn’t listen to the concerns of the internet, friends, nobody. She clearly doesn’t want to get better and appears to have a death wish. Just like with an alcoholic or drug addict, there comes a breaking point where the people who love her realize that they need to let it go and focus on themselves.
12:30 onwards is nothing but pure intelligence & fact... Well done on this video, I've been a long time fan and follower upon many of your platforms... And it's great to see this come from you... It makes it so much more pure
It's just sad. So sad.
People don't like it when someone they care about, who is having obvious issues, makes zero steps trying to improve themselves. It was the same for Boogie.
And I agree, it IS very aggravating seeing her do nothing, but I also get it as I have also had a mental condition almost ending me - I'm schizophrenic, so I know that when you are delusional you cannot see what you do is self destructive (for me it was the whole point, I had to sacrifice myself or the world would end).
So, they have to be forced to get better. It absolutely sucks for the person suffering, but it's the only way to avoid tragedy.
If it doesn't help, like in her case, you do it again for longer. At this point her family is enabling her.
What really really takes me to an actual not fun dark place in my own mind ...is watching how lonely...she is ...as she makes each video ..as bubbly and scary as she looks all I feel and see is a life that is so dark and lonely... lonely isn't even enough to explain the kind of darkness just watching her brings me ...I don't even want to know how lonely she actually is .
Depressing AF to even think she gets up everyday gets ready in full outfits and sits in her big house filled with lonely stuff ...idk
How lonely she must be is what really bums me out. Like, I'm the same age as her. I don't really have friends, outside of my fiance. But I go out with him, spend time with him, I go to work, I get along reasonably well my coworkers... But she doesn't even have that. It's just her, sometimes her mom, and then a faceless community of watchers that love, hate, and pity her. It's just such a sad way to live.
