why does everyone make those relateable posts about depression meals and list stuff like, half a potato chip and forgetting eat but no one ever talks about the other half of people who overeat from depression? no one talks about gouging yourself with food the second you feel bad because somehow youre convinced food will make you feel better but it doesnt so you keep eating until it does? the weight gain? feeling sick from eating so much? eating an entire bag of chips and a whole carton of ice cream in one sitting without knowing it?? feeling even worse because youre making yourself so ill???

why does no one remember this symptom?

Because of fatphobia. Plus it doesn’t fit the “cute sad waif” side of depression that everyone keeps romanticizing.

This is actually how I got my eating disorder. Binge Eating Disorder plus Depression plus Anxiety have COMPLETELY changed my life and body and every da/meal is a fight for healthy recovery. I was never a small girl but its been hard to regulate my eating and weight for the last FIVE YEARS. Everyone has soooo much to say about my body and my fatness because of fatphobia but not a single person, both in my life and here online, who ever criticized me for daring to exist in a fat body EVER gave enough of a fuck to say ‘Hm. What could be going on with this person’s health and wellness that I’m not seeing?’. That tells me that fatphobic people don’t ACTUALLY give a fuck about your health and wellness, they just want to comment on your body.

Co-morbid Disorders are REALLY real outchea.
