why do people ask about eating disorders in the diet and fitness section?
Surely this would be better in the mental health or psychology sections?
Having previously suffered from a eating disorder for the best part of my teens I find it discouraging when people ask questions about ed on here as people are using this section for healthy diet and fitness advice. I do not want to be encouraged to resort back to my ed and I do not want others on here who want to lose wait to be encourage to starve themselves/purge either.
The questions I mean include:
- am i anorexic? im 5ft 6 and weigh 97 pounds….
- can i have promia/ana friends?
- how do i become anorexic…?
- if i only eat 100 calories a day am i anorexic?
- my friends think I am bulimic, am i?
etc
An eating disorder is not a diet and it certainly isn’t anything to do with fitness…so go to a better section…
grrr….rant over now 
i dunno. people in the diet and fitness section know more about the physical stuff of the eating disorder than the mental stuff. i don’t know about other people, but i ask about the physical stuff in the diet and fitness section (for the fitness, not the diet), and i ask about the mental and emotional parts of the eating disorder in the mental health section.
