▷ ABOUT ME
Hello! My name is Kristen, I am 22 years old, from Sacramento CA, and I am graduating in the Spring with my BA in Psychology. I created this channel for three reasons that are very close to my heart. One, to help others be able to tell their stories and be advocates for mental health, to give recovery tips and tricks to help others find the help they need, and to spread awareness for mental health issues to fight the stigma surrounding it. The more we talk about mental illness the more normalized it will be in our society and the more people will not be ashamed to get help!

I hate everyone that's comparing it to 13RW, not only because it's an entirely different production team, but because Netflix didn't even make To The Bone! They bought it after the film was completed.
Can you talk about your opinions on Netflix's 13 Reasons Why too?
I think there should be a trigger warning, but I'm kind of glad at the same time that all these movies are popping up lately talking about mental illness. these movies if done correctly, and not glamorize the illnesses will definitely bring awareness and open up conversations we need to have about these topics.
What do you think about this controversy? Are you going to watch this movie when it comes out? I would love to know your thoughts!!
I think that things like this should be made. Right now, any mental illness is shown in a very poor light. I've heard people say very cruel things about this topic. People are very poorly informed about these problems, and there is rarely anyone there to help with the misconceptions. While I think that trigger warnings should be placed before any show or movie dealing with these topics, I think that they should still be made. It is one of the things that could make life better for those hiding their illnesses, and make them more comfortable with themselves. It could be what encourages someone to get help.
I don't think it's hurting anyone. I think that the movie will spread awareness
my netflix is broken right now... help
I stand in the grey area. Yes, it would have been a much more positive experience for viewers if the trigger warning was placed beforehand. Despite this, it brings up eating disorders into conversations, which is important. I am filled with hate when a serious issue exists in our world and is never discussed, mentioned, or recognized. Blessings from my heart are sent to those with eating disorders.
I just graduated with a BFA in Filmmaking so I wholeheartedly believe in giving others (and yourself) an outlet to share experiences. Netflix is also quite accessible, which I think is great. It's a difficult topic to depict, of course, but I think as long as they do it justice instead of turning it into a quirky little character flaw or romanticizing it, then it will be great! Does need a TW though for sure!
I have anorexia and personally quite like the look of the movie :)
I just watched this movie a couple days ago, and I agree that there should have been a trigger warning. However, I think it was an accurate portrayal of eating disorders, and did raise awareness about the topic. It was actually really good and very powerful. I honestly cried so many times during this. It definitely wasn't glamorizing eating disorders, and I would recommend it.
one thing that bothers me about not only this movie but movies around eating disorders in general is that the sufferers are always depicted as extremely underweight. this bothers me because i know people (including myself) who have struggled with EDs and never get/got treated because they never reached that low of a bmi. it really sucks that medias always go to these stereotypes attached to eating disorders. the worst part of it is that it always seems to reinforce the voices that tell you that you're "not thin enough to have an eating disorder" or "not anorexic enough." i feel we need more representation in those areas to raise awareness for those who might go unnoticed in the eyes of treatment
It seems like a very real and heartbreaking story. I am a bit afraid that it is going to be triggering for me though. Even watching the trailer I was brought back to some pretty hard memories (I have personally suffered from anorexia and am now in solid recovery). I am going to watch it though and I do have good expectations! Like you said, knowing that the cast and crew have had personal experiences with eating disorders makes me feel optimistic about it! It looks very well done. I just am going to have to make sure I practice self-care extra hard when I do! I will have to remind myself that my pain is in the past and it does not define who I am or where I am going
I haven't even watched To the Bone fully but I use it to make me feel less alone and helpless
I agree with both sides. I don't hate Netflix for having this show, and I think that it is incredible that they are doing this to raise awareness. But I do believe that it needs a trigger warning.
It's good that they are making tv series about mental health and are spreading awareness about it. I'll watch the show but I think they should put a trigger warning before the episodes. Also it seems like the girl who are struggling is a young adult, not a teenager (if I read correctly). Its important to talk about this, EDs are not only limited to teenagers. There are a lof of young adults and adults (age to 20 from 40 even 50) that struggle with this.
honestly I think the people that are saying it's encouraging eating disorders should wait till the movie comes out before they say that, as from what the trailer shows its going to educate people about all the bad points and shoe people that EDs are nor just about "being skinny" I think it's going to educate soo many people and help people realise that recovering from an eating disorder is more than just eating something! I feel as though the movie will be more beneficial than destructive as it was written/produce by someone that has first hand experience! but hey I could be wrong and when I watch the film I could change my mind!
I might watch the film just for the actors, however I was seriously triggered by the trailer and it caused me to do 4 hours of a dancing exercise in one night with no breaks because I saw the main character and it really triggered me. I am getting help, I'll be going to a unit in a couple weeks or earlier, and I really want to begin recovery...but like many others I think this will just cause more harm than good.
My hope is that this movie will add in a positive way to the discussion of eating disorders. Assuming they approached the topic with sensitivity and care I think To the Bone may be added to the list of movies that do a great job to represent psychological disorders.
Now I wish they could do other eating disorders that aren't anorexia. Everyone knows more about that than bulimia.
