Help Forum for eating disorders?

[Stillnotsure]

Hey computer gurus, I was wondering if any of you know of a forum just like this one where people can share tips on eating disorders.

I've come to the logical conclusion that I want to ctb cuz I'm worthless and miserable. I'm worthless and miserable because I'm fat and ugly. I've always nurtured a shadow of an eating disorder, now I want to rev it up. I'm looking for a forum that isn't all whiney teens I guess (I'm an adult) but the only ones I find that claim to let you speak freely don't encourage giving tips or offer encouragement.

Please don't judge. We all choose our own path. I'm tired of being 5'6 and 230#.
Diets don't work and Ive always been a binge eater. I just don't purge enough to make a difference. If I'm stuck on this miserable planet I may as well try to look the way I want.

I pray that nobody actually gives you a forum to discuss this
As for your reasoning, it doesn't sound logical
Writing yourself off as worthless and miserable sounds teenage-like
I know that sounds offensive and I'm not trying to be but idk, you kind of give me the impression that you haven't explored other options besides wallowing in your own misery. Try something else and I repeat people
Don't give this person an actual site to discuss how to delve into a full fledged eating disorder

Ah, I knew I'd get someone to disagree. Interesting that the idea of supporting eating disorders offends you but advice on ending ones life does not. Speaking from a personal place I suspect?

Rest assured, other options beside "wallowing in my own self pity" have been thoroughly explored.

I am rather intrigued by your response? Care to explain your reasoning?

@DepressionsAHo I respectfull disagree. OP is trying a way forward
Its not fair to dismiss the request as wallowing in misery - given our society's standards, manufactured food addiction, and lack of empathy.

That said, @Stillnotsure , ED is horrible horrible all consuming to the point youre not even aware its happening. It takes over and destroys everything
... truly not something to wish on anyone.

If you do want something more extreme, why not try something like intermittent fasting combined with low carb / sugarfree / keto diet? Those seem to be effective, yet healthier than ED.

No, Ive never had an eating disorder. As a matter of fact the only thing that got me to walk as a child was to steal my sister's food off her plate lol. Anyways though, I'll always support your right to end your life as long as long all other options have been explored. The key difference here is making ones life significantly worse ie eating disorder and ending ones life ie getting rid of the problem. Is your reasoning for wanting to worsen your Ed to improve your chances of suicide? I can understand thinking like that. I've done it before although I don't support it
The person above me explains perfectly why I support one but not the other actually

Thank you @Kaput, Actually, I just tried keto twice and in my humble opinion, after exploring how to tutorials on intermittent fasting, I've discovered it's just another name for anorexia.

I am no good at anorexia. If I skip one meal I feel just miserable. I should be clear. I already have an eating disorder. I just want to find a forum like this where it's okay to talk about in detail and not have people pushing how bad it is in my face. I know it's bad. I know being suicidal is bad.

As @depressedhoe so kindly demonstrated, it is hard to find a safe place to talk about it. Here's hoping such a place exists.

Hi, I have also had an eating disorder for 10 years so I get how deliberating it can be. Personally, I have problems eating, but if you want motivation to lose weight I suggest you search 'the snake diet' on youtube. It's generally an adult community with not confirmative weight loss motivation. The guy whos cannel it gets a lot of results but gets a lot of backlash for going against the system. Then if you manage to be successful you can try to take care of yourself as best as possible

Stillnotsure, i used to be overweight. What i did was to change my diet: i stuck to complex carbs like oats, and lean meat like chicken breast. If i got tired of chicken i would eat peanuts, cashews, etc (cashews btw are a great anti-depressant... in my experience at least.)

Coupled with the diet i did BJJ and Muay Thai. But i can say with most certainty, the Muay Thai shed most of the fat. The great thing about the diet was it didn't feel like a diet. I never went hungry and the complex carbs (ex. oats) kept my body more satiated for a longer period of time as opposed to simple carbs. I think i lost 1 lb a week or every other week for a total of 40 lbs lost.

Regarding forums on eating disorders, i apologize but i don't know any. Just wanted to share my experience in the hopes that it could help you. I tried fasting as a method of weight loss but it had the opposite effect on me lol. It's like my body was storing more fat because it sensed it was in starvation mode.

Hey DepressionsAHo. Don't mean to criticise but "wallowing in your own misery" is pretty fucking unhelpful.

You're right. I should've used different words. To be fair I do it to though. Wasn't meant as offensive but I didn't know how else to put it
Edit: My main point though was don't make your life worse with an edged on eating disorder. It does nothing but make everything worse. Depression and every other mental disorder fucking sucks already and forcefully adding to it will suck ass

I was on a forum called myproana. People who are bulimic and anorexic post on there.

There used to be MyProAna, the site went dead in the summer of 2018 and most members migrated to EatingDisorderCentral.com. I loged MyProAna as well, idk what happens on it now as I haven't accessed it in a year. but the newer site is nice. Nice members. A girl made a super popular thread where people post pics of their meals too. I've also heard of MyPancakeAddiction. Never browsed it tho,but I heard it's pretty decent.
