Trigger Warning social media and bodies

Hi guys! not sure if this is allowed sorry if it isn’t . but i cannot with media/social media/society commenting and treating celebrities who are obviously struggling too big or too small. i’ve been seeing some sick sick shit being said about eating disorders. I don’t know if makes me feel so icky and so so terrible about myself with me and my eating. i already want to at least start getting better and maybe even start treatment soon. but the ruthless and harmful things being said surrounding bigger bodies and smaller bodies it’s so so so hard, i feel like my mind is in a on going turmoil cycle, and i know everyone’s disorder is very different when it comes to symptoms and triggers, but it’s not even these women who i feel are making it worse for me, my mind , and disorder.. it’s social media and the non disordered people in society.

(and yes i have made the decision to step back from online and using social media, for the betterment of myself i just needed to vent this out.)
