Advocating for using eating as a coping mechanism during times of distress is a shitty idea.

[-] Bipta@kbin.social 35 points 2 years ago

I don't really think that's what this is saying but maybe I'm biased. For me, between depression and ADHD eating is something that's easy to forget to do and certain emotions definitely become stronger when you fail to eat.

I have both of those issues as well and I know how worthless this sounds for you right now: counting my calories and having a good eating routine helped me get healthy. It's nice that my hyper fixation is focused on my wellbeing right now.

That can easily spiral into an ED. Be careful. My gf went down that rabbit hole once.

Thanks for pointing it out. I'm aware of that but I'm at 17% body fat and my goal is around 10-12% so my testosterone levels should stay at a normal level.

...testosterone? What's that gotta do with eating disorders

Low body fat will plummet your testosterone levels which then leads to a low sex drive and erectile dysfunction... Oh we we're thinking about different EDs XD
Also your ED makes more sense in context of a girlfriend but we're in the fediverse after all.
I recently watched some videos about the effects of low body fat on your body and I didn't read your comment properly.
