There's no way her doctor considers her to be healthy. If anything, she probably hasn't seen a doctor in years because she knows she'd be hauled right off to the ward. I was gonna ask how she's still alive until I remembered Eugenia Cooney looks worse than her and is somehow still kicking.
One other thing though, what's the point of the attachment you added with a screenshot of you on her twitter page?

There’s an “ana recovery” account on Tiktok which is ostensibly about a woman filming herself eating to get support and show off her collection of plates and spoons with motivational messages on, but I’m starting to realise that it’s more about displaying what a good ana she is. Crying and shaking over having a sandwich with mayonnaise, that kind of thing.

Also posts body checks and a commenter called her out on it, but her fans assembled and shouted them down.

View attachment 2934889

Feel bad for her parents. Don’t know how old she is but has to be late twenties at least, and they’re having to shoulder the burden of sticking to her meal plan and dealing with the meltdowns.

Spoiler: Ana-chans annoy me more than I care about power-levelling, some field reporting.

I got to deal with about a dozen of these fine people recently among a larger exceptional cast of characters. Since I've had a lot of incidental exposure to this kind of insanity before, I'm fairly unfazed. That said they were the single most toxic and annoying group of people in the place. The "Ana Recovery" trend is actually a multi-faceted issue with some sub-types:

• Genuine attempt at recovery but the person still narcissisticly requires attention. While this can manifest on the internet for asspats, the real attention they are after is among their recovery groups.
• "Secret Starving" where it is all an act about how they are making an honest go at recovery while changing none of their habits.
• Just fucking evil- this was an individual of the second subtype. However there was novel pathology. While maintaining cover with the staff as "recovering" she was also trying to "break" the efforts of those that were making an honest go.

It all kind of mixes into such a clusterfuck that there was drama, screaming, and crying multiple times per day. These were exclusively the only group to still "self harm" although the scratches were too shallow to even draw blood. The facility immediately transfers patients that threaten suicide to a lockdown facility, ana-chans were the only ones to go down this road more than once. Scales had to be locked away. Food could not have caloric information. There was a whole host of forbidden topics of discussion in the cafeteria.

Since I am a filthy smoker and nicotine was one of the few appetite suppressants they could get their hands on, I got to enjoy their company for quite some time. (Edit: one of them had the most variety of tobacco products I'd ever seen. If there's a mucus membrane, she's stuck dip/snus/patches on it. Ate the gum like tic-tacs) I'm trying to think of any other insights to add. If you have questions feel free to ask. To conclude I will leave you with the story of my roommate, who proved two things: schizos put in the God damn work, and if you want a job done right you get a man to do it.

Roomie was a beanpole of a softspoken guy. While I never got a clear explanation of his diagnosis he was clearly medicated from the moment I met him. Come to find out he was working his way out of an involuntary commitment when he passed out and came to the ER weighing 70lbs like a holocaust survivor. Unlike your typical narcissist, he had a clear and compelling reason for his starvation: The CIA was using his roommate to attempt to assassinate him by poisoning his food. To the point that he was deathly afraid of consuming calories or dyes at all and the voices telling him to kill his roommate were getting hard to ignore. So what does the 0 calorie diet look like? Well he preferred shaved ice, ThickWater and calorie free syrup:

Apparently he made it months on just that before collapsing.

He had a surprisingly grounded and good perspective on it. He was a very interesting guy. I was a tiny bit annoyed I learned about the whole "voices encouraging killing the roommate" thing after being his roommate for a while, but never felt like I needed to be concerned. It was kind of funny watching new ana-chans come in and figure out he's not like them.

Did he die when he collapsed?

Luckily he was able to recover. He'd managed to get to double digit weights though.

"Thickened water"? I just get the mental image of bottled semen.

But I totally agree with you. The only difference between anas and "recovered anas" is that the later talk openly and demand sympathy for going through anorexia while still aiming to lose weight. Idk what gives them this sense of self-importance especially because I think people who go through anorexia in the first place suffer from low self-esteem.

"Thickened water"? I just get the mental image of bottled semen.

It sounds horrific. I found a review article on it when it came up in this thread and I got curious. https://melmagazine.com/en-us/story/what-is-thick-thickened-water-does-it-taste-good

I don't know how anyone could stand that even if they were forced to drink it.

 

[The-Mad-Asshatter]

I've tried Thick Water before out of curiosity. I think it's made from some kind of corn starch,

It tastes... alright. Very bland if you try it with water, though it will have a slight corn starch taste. You can make your water thick and chunky, make goopy beer 'pudding,' or slurp up black, quivering gobs of your coffee.

 

[Fialovy]

Thickened water, I'm going to powerlevel a bit, but I used to work in a nursing home and I know patients with issues swallowing often have to thicken their liquids so they don't go down the wrong way, not as important with water (the speech pathologist would often have the patients practice swallowing with water, obviously taking small sips to start), but very important with stuff with sugar in it since that can cause infections in the lungs aside from the obvious choking. I remember a woman who really liked pop who had to thicken her pop and as a result, it was no longer fizzy which to her made drinking pop pointless so she stopped drinking pop and lost a lot of weight as a result.

I worked in a nursing home too for a bit. The breakfast trays of jellied juice, coffee, and sometimes broth weirded me out.

 

[b0x]

When I was lucky enough to go to a high priced mental institution, I ended up near the eating disorders unit. All these girls came from wealthy families obviously. They were recovering. They were locked indoors most of the day because either they would purge somewhere, or they would end up walking around the block for the entire day. They had to be escorted by a nurse everywhere. At lunch time it was like the entire cast of Americas Next Top Model walked out. They were all stunning and wearing the latest fashion. It really goes to show you how brainwashed people can become.

The problem is, they were all allowed to keep their phones, so they were still getting exposed to ana culture.

 

[Cygnetik]

I'm not sure if this fits in here or not because this woman suffers from anorexia and she's not necessarely encouraging it, but she mentions how she got into the world of ED twitter and it fueled her sense of competitiveness and it just reminds me of how BS the argument that people ED's need their own communities because it "helps" them when it's a ground for competing to starvation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mZlypTO_8E&ab_channel=SoftWhiteUnderbelly

"it just reminds me of how BS the argument that people ED's need their own communities because it "helps" them"
people saying that need to lurk more at the "ed recovery" intagram community,

i have never seen such a vindictive shit community, parts of it,
you have the obvious pro anas
you have ones who show what they eat but dont gain a pound or are trying to stay at the same low weight while letting gullible followers believe they eat all of it.

and barely i see one truly recovering.
one was a long time bulimic/anorexic who liked to sit in her hoard taking pictures of ghastly food
and for a long time gained minimal weight, but the tide has turned in her favor for a while now, she still eats weird, but is at an healthy weight, her insta descriptions arent the long winded analyses of food no longer,
holds down a job and even has a boyfriend
her name was nourishtoflourish

most of the pro ana scumbag thread are the same, died or dissapeared. its not something to easily get out of, and i feel for those who fell into it unintentionally

 

[DoorPost101]

her name was nourishtoflourish

Was that the one who had a habit of covering all her 'food' (mostly snack type foods) in bizarre combinations of zero-calorie sauces and dips? (And who also always took pictures of food with grimy plates and stickers over the expiration dates?) I seem to recall reading about her on LC, and she seemed sadly hopeless.

If she got her shit together, good for her.
