Are you kidding me? This is a recovery site and your stupid ass question is an insult to us all.

I see on your profile you say you are depressed. As someone who has depression and has suffered anorexia I say to you that starvation plays havoc with your mind and body as do other EDs.Often it also leads to bingeing and overeating.Please get help for your depression if needed from a doctor.

Yeah wd09, I'm asking myself that as well. It could be so triggering for some people, so I dunno if we should report it or not!

Okay, I'm not sure what you're really asking here. It doesn't sound to me like you're really asking for advice on how to become anorexic. It sounds like you are struggling with life and are looking for a new way to "fix" it or to punish yourself. Do you think starving yourself will "fix" the problem or make you feel better about yourself? It won't. A lot of us on here tried doing just that which is how we ended up in a recovery group.

If you'd like support here, I'd suggest focusing on what you're feeling inside, and we can support you on that. What is going on that's making you want to starve yourself? Generally, talk about dieting gets people upset.
