- don’t make it seem like u have to b a certain size to have a ed, an eating disorder is a mental illness bc it’s the way u think abt eating.
- show that no matter how much weight u loose/gain u will never feel that u r beautiful enough, until u get help w ur metallization of food.
- therapy/medicine is v helpful for those w eating disorders, show that it’s v beneficial & characters shouldn’t feel bad abt getting help, it’s necessary.
- there r many different eating disorders u can have, caused by different reasons. sometimes it can b passed down in the family (my mom was a model & had an Ed, ppl were worried it was passed down to me), it could b bc they were shamed for their weight by friends/family or maybe it’s the general media.
- b careful w the subject, don’t show someone get more beautiful or slim bc of the disorder. ppl w eating disorders usually end up being constantly tired, often binging lots of food in secret n they feel shame for enjoying food.
hope this helped, my bff had anorexia for 4 yrs, so I am v familiar w this topic.
