Inactive Rachael Farrokh / Rod Edmondson / Rachael's Road to Recovery - Anorexia as a Midlife Crisis

I think I despise proanas more than deathfats because you they don't have the excuse of having enablers send them snacks in the hospital they're keeping their gobs clamped and the proof is in the low fat pudding. At least when a big fat person dies of obesity they are clearly an afront to God and a victim of society's gluttonous ways to die of anorexia in this culture is squarely on your circle.

You could argue that both are serious mental illnesses. One being less resource-intensive and one requiring 3 pizzas and 3 2Ls of coke per day. Regardless it's sad that these types of people can't get the help they need.

She should be more like Skeletor. Hit the gym. Be a skeleton with muscles. Eat red meat and drink protein shakes.

Something I leaned about recovery is that everyone has their own path. Your route to recover is different than that of the person next to you. Obviously, we all have our struggles and share some similarities but the way we heal, grow and find peace is deeply personal.

For example when I started seeking treatment for my body dysmorphia I was really relieved to be in a room full of guys experiencing similar feelings. I quickly realized that even though we have a similar struggle, nobody can relate to my issue of having a excruciatingly large penis. Girls see my face and body in clothes and assume I'm a super model. They make assumptions based on my physical appearance but never think to ask how I'm feeling inside.

I probably don't know what anorexia is but if it's anything like I described above, pray for her.

I'm a tourist to this ex-cow, but this, merely from a psychological perspective, is intriguing. And terribly sad.

From a theological one, I offer, merely as food (lol) for thought, two quotes I I've seen on this very board:

1. The Devil isn't real; that's just God when he's drunk.

(And, far more terrifyingly:)

2. God is not real. But the Devil is.

Whatever and wherever she is, may she feel no pain.

Honestly I feel bad because now she was trying to recover after her family, friends and bitch ass husband did everything but help her. I only hope that she's in a better place and that her husband and those that were the closest but did everything except help her end up in their worst nightmare

I can only imagine how painful this kind of existence is/was.

Whenever I have a even the most minor deficit in electrolytes I'm in agony over muscle cramps, brain fog, fatigue, etc. I address it as soon as possible because I feel like it's an emergency.

I can only imagine the torment of being completely depleted of electrolytes so often. No wonder proanas get addicted to painkillers.

Everyone give your bodies a big hug then go eat some bananas, natural nut butters and avocados for that precious potassium and magnesium

If there are butterflies, they're there for the corpse. A lot of people don't know this, but certain species of butterflies will feed on corpses for whatever salt is left on their bodies, as well as other nutrients. Some even like shit. They like blood, too.

Butterflies will congregate towards rotting things, that's why they feature heavily for Elden Ring's Malenia and her Scarlet Rot curse. They are a lot like maggots in that they'll spent time sucking nutrients from fresh roadkill.

Suddenly i'm reminded of return of the living dead, when the trioxin gas got all through the medical supply warehouse and revived those split dogs and those wall mounted butterflies

Everybody always seems to forget about the fact trioxin bringing back anything that is dead including animals and never did anything with that. They could have had a sequel with yappy lap dogs and butterflies trying to eat peoples brains. Just imagine it - an entire swarm of butterflies engulfing people like locusts and sucking the brains out of their skull

That said sometimes people go off the deep end about claiming their loved ones are coming back to see them as butterflies and shit like that. Years ago my mothers friends kid died of a heart attack really young. Some genetic thing nobody knew about and she went right loopy, ended up claiming he was coming back all the time as said butterfly and got to the point she actually captured one in a jar and started carrying it around and treating and acting like it was some reincarnated version of her son. Needless to say she ended up on a psych hold eventually cause of that

Wait a minute.... I knew i'd seen this woman somewhere before.....

This has to be some kind of KF speedrunning record.

Well rather because the thread was made late, inactive and nearly dead anyways. The first post was in 2022. It would be a actual speedrun if the thread was made like... a week before her death

If she was on the road to recovery, why did she die?

Don't know. Maybe not really recovering. Maybe relapsing.

But one thing I do know is that by being that thin for so long she had done serious permanent damage to her heart and other organs. Even if she had got back to eating a full and healthy diet there would be long term repercussions and a shortened lifespan.

Welp, that’s where the long and winding road to recovery ends. RIP to Rachael and my first ever thread.

Weird how some skellies like Ashley and Eugenia seem to hang on forever and then you have this.

I was just about to mention Ashley, i remember my first MATI stream i've ever watched was Halloween of 2018 and Null showed her, and i CAN'T BELIEVE it's been almost a decade and she's still kicking.
