Do you feel sorry for anorexics or bulimics?!


Question: Don't a lot of people have to deal with problems?


Answers: Don't a lot of people have to deal with problems?

you sound very prejudicial for singluling out such maladies... a lot of people do have problems, that is one thing everyone seems to share in common in life... anorexics and bulimics don't however feel as if they have a problem, except from those who constantly tell them they do and that others like them do... they will often slowly kill themselves without care, but its hard on those who watch them do it

Feeling sorry implies pity. I dont pity them. I am sympathetic.

hells no they can do those stupid **** to achieve their goals then let them.....they are not victims...******* retards throwing up and not eating anything.....go die its better for the environment

i feel worse for horrible cancer cases that are so incredibly traumatic and unfair.....but im biased since i work on a cancer floor and get to know the people well........but i guess i feel bad because its a disease which is so difficult to overcome because you need food to live and it has deep psychological roots....

I feel really sorry for them & I feel bad for depressed people. Sometimes I think I am anorexic because in the morning, with the stress of school & everything, I don't want to eat! :(

Yes everyone has to deal, and people deal on what feels comfortable to them.Believe it or not throwing up and starving makes people comfortable with whats going on around them.

anorixia isn't a problem its a coping mechanism. a destructive coping mechanism granted but ultimately just a way to deal. I am pretty sure that most anorexics would be offended if people felt sorry for them, this is not something they do for attention or pity but something they do in order to cope. I personally write a journal in order to cope and i'm sure you have your quirks too. just let them be and hopefully with the right help they will find healthy ways to cope and get well.

That's a complicated question.

I feel pity for them, because I understand what it is to hate your body. But, you can only try to help someone so much before you have to separate yourself from a situation.

I had a friend in high school who confided in me that she was bulimic. I didn't understand how she could do that to her body, because getting sick; to me is probably the grossest thing.

When you've been touched by it, its hard not to care for people who are doing it to themselves.
Watch Dr. Phil tomorrow...there's a girl on it who is severly anorexic. See how you feel after seeing her.

I feel for them just like I feel for any person with a real and serious disorder. I would encourage people not to judge those who have these problems, because if you have never been through it yourself and have never been close to someone who went through it...then you really don't know what you are talking about.

Yes. And a lot of people do have to deal with problems but you can't put them all into one category. It is not effective when someone wants help to just simply say "deal with it". It doesn't work that way. Some people have feelings and have had to deal with harder things in life than others. A lot of these disorders leave the person's natural character alienated and soon they don't know which way is up. Don't you think that people would fix problems on their own if they could? Some people don't even know a problem is a problem until it's already here and it's too late.

Yes I feel sorry for anorexics and bulimics because they didn't just get like that...something had to happen to them in order for it to get to that point where they didn't want to be who they were anymore. It's really sad but understandable with the way that society is. Generally guys don't want to date overweight girls because they see them as being lazy or unkempt or unattractive and they don't want to take the time to get to know the personality. This is known as being shallow. A lot of guys won't admit it but it's true. A guy would rather be with a 'barbie' that won't eat anything and maybe can't carry a conversation than give an overweight girl a chance and maybe actually have a good time. Remember people don't look the same in 20 to 30 years. So why judge them now?

You, obviously, have never had an eating disorder nor known anyone who has. So, where did you go to medical school to have the credentials to say that's they're not diseases? Tell that to the medical boards who say they are. I've had eating disorders (Anorexia and Bulimia) for over 15 years and you have no clue what I go through so why don't you keep your opinions and ignorance to yourself?

they disgust me

i am fat and i envy them
i have tried i cant do it
i evy the people

i am one
