The first time I ever asked for help, I was 15, and my doctor's words were literally "numbers don't lie". I cannot stress enough how that affected my inner monologue and fueled my eating disorder. It took another 8 years, hitting rock bottom, and having a short moment of clarity for me to reach out again and go to IP. I would never say "Oh I only have a small tumor, so I'll just wait to get that taken care of". If my doctor didn't believe me, I would be furious and go find another doctor. If you ever have that moment of clarity where you aren't questioning your own illness, jump on it, and don't stop until someone listens (not always easy, I know). Writing down some of the behaviors I was engaging in on a regular basis also helped me to realize that I was not living a "normal" life and reminded me I didn't want to go back. Thank you, Mia- your videos have been such a help and always seem to come at the right time.
SAME!!! it tortures me everyday
I said this when I went into inpatient three months ago I said "I'm not sick, I don't need to be here" the nurse replied if you didn't have to be here you wouldn't be, your next step is death and that was a big wake up call, I'm now on week 6 of an outpatient program after over a month of inpatient and it's so hard but I'm doing everything I can to NOT go back to that.
Keep going, you've got this.
@@WhatMiaDidNext Thank you Mia your channel gives me SO much inspiration, I've recommended you to a few girls who have come and gone through the clinic ❤
see, that´s my problem. people tell me that the next step is death and i just cannot comprehend, i cannot internalize and realize that, seems so distant and unreal. my only reason to recover is so i don´t have to go inpatient which is hanging over my head right now, but i can´t fully commit to recovery, i keep slipping back into ed behaviors and thoughts which i never left in the first place.
I notice ive relapsed when I go back to this side of youtube, honestly I cant share my experience with my family so... having a place to feel understood helps
I didn’t really understand that this is exactly the same for me. Thank you 💛
after 6 years of dealing with eating issues and months of trying to convince myself that i am in fact sick enough, i finaly asked for professional help, only to have them tell me i cant get treathment becouse im not doing bad enough. im not doing bad enough becouse i still eat a bit everty day and dont p*rge. so hearing this made me feel so valid and heard
I just had my first counseling session and was told that they don’t think I really needed any therapy or treatment because I “seem ok” and aren’t severely underweight. She also said people with anorexia don’t eat at all so because I eat sometimes I’m not anorexic. And they recommended I not do support groups because most of the others would not skinner than me and it would trigger me. This is after her speaking to my doctor who confirmed I’m underweight and have digestive issues due to my ED. It was so discouraging to hear I’m not sick enough to get help.
I am so happy I stumbled across this video! I have recently begun relasp and this has given me the motivation to get well before things fall all apart. 🥰 My ED was just telling g me that I am not "sick" enough and I'm being dramatic by wanting to tell my Therapist my ED thoughts. THANK YOU. Also, I hope you feel better soon. So sorry you are struggling with pain. That's rough. Take care of yourself.
I was sectioned on inpatient treatment with a one-on-one watch and being tube-fed while I started crying and said: "I don't have anorexia! The criterias don't match. I'm just faking!" Obviously I was very anorexic, but we are all different and our disorders are also all different. There is no stereotype that you need to fit into, if you SUFFER you DESERVE HELP!
And surprisingly: as almost recovered I see myself more worthy help with my thoughts/feelings now (but being denied it) than when I was dying. You can't think when you're underweight, and you only realise it when you're back at normal weight.
Thank you for this! Also wishing you well with the chronic pain. No fun!
Thank you Mia. I have so much respect for you. This isn't really directly related to 'sick enough' issue, but watching this helped me recognise a big fear I have about reaching out for help is that I know I need help, but fear so much failing AGAIN. Of me taking more time and energy from others but then letting them down. Or doing well then relapsing. Letting people, especially loved ones down. So. I tend to think 'I won't TALK about goals I'm setting or seek support (even though the accountability and talking it through can help a lot) because then I may get their hopes up and what if I let them down again?". Actually, writing this I can actually see maybe this is just another way of my self critic and ED self making me feel hopeless and to shut my down. I won't give up. I just feel such a burden and guilt. But, I know if I don't keep communicating progress will definitely not be possible. Sorry. Splurgeramma!!! Thank you love to everyone. To all: If you're a human and if you're not happy, you need help!!!! Xxxx
Minor editing/audio issue but worth mentioning so you can get down to the bottom of it. ❤ The audio in this video is only coming through my left earbud. Not a problem with my headphones, but a problem with either your mic or the edit.
Very grateful for the video, but thought it would be important for you to know, if you didn't already. This is an easy fix in editing. I'm thinking, perhaps you accidently deleted a channel while editing. If so, simple mistake, not a worry, sorry for wasting your time. Otherwise, good luck. Great content.
But I really do have to be sick enough to afford treatment :(
You always upload when I need you 😭 I just had a relapse after months and months, triggered by overwhelming stress. Getting back on it starting now 💖
The title to this video, considering the last one you made is extremely intelligent.
I Have been in recovery from substance abuse for all most 37 years what it took for me was being in a car accident where I could have been killed to quit using, and my to realizing I Had a problem and to take responsibility for my recovery.I to see the problem with substance abuse for myself even though there signs along the way that others did see to stop. Over the years, in recovery, I met people who thought they did not have a problem with substance abuse, and some of them have recovered once saw itself others have not are still using and some never realize they had a problem with substance abuse and die. From what is said about eating disorders it sounds very similar, where a person has to see the problem and want to taker responsibility for their recovery. However, it also sounds like some realize the danger and istopped when they see for themself where some continue and some die a result of it just like with other addictions.
It’s because I’m not dying my weight is still stuck and I’m overweight. I only have the mindset. Sometimes i go on starve - binge cycle and sometimes i feel healthy and try to not starve but then get too afraid of letting myself eat alot. When i increase meals instead of skipping them i gain alittle weight and then don’t want to gain more because it’s hard for me to lose it. I’m just confused .
why's the audio only in one ear tho
I think it's a RUclips processing thing, but we'll look into it!
I don't feel like I am sick enough to get help yet. I was told by people that I weigh 2 much.
And if you weighed "too much" in the other direction no one would believe you didn't need help - no matter what you said. You deserve care no matter you weight and the earlier you get care the better. You are enough no matter what.
Yes but nobody in the community or medical professionals have really heard of Atypical Anorexia and I feel like a fraud 😢
Yeah same i was deep into anorexia then they told me to lose weight and that i’m still overweight then it caused it to turn into binge eating and i’m no still messed up in this cycle for like 8 years now
Same
They need to remove weight from the criteria. It will always fuck with our sick heads all of us want to be diagnosed with Anorexia because the stigma theyre the thinnest. So if ur like me when i was 14 and you tried to get help and then your Dr. tells you "youre not thin enough to be anorexic" .... See how to a seriously sick in the head, 14 year old child, would take that as a challenge? "oh yeah? Well ill show you" and then i became emaciated and my main motivator was what those drs told me. And i still didnt get help because i have severe trust issues and agorophobia from being mistreatrd and neglected by drs. See why weight shouldnt be involved in any of this at all.
Off topic but she looks like the main character of midsommar :)
