I always thought it was weird that everyone said that they'd eat their feelings whereas when I'm upset I don't eat for days.
Now whenever I am remotely triggered by anything - not even related to my ED sometimes - I end up not eating.
It doesn't even feel good anymore.
I have healthier ways to cope but sometimes those end up being the same thing that triggers me.

Thank you<3 ily
I've noticed I have an extreme obsession with Disney and animated movies. Like I want all the movies and all the dolls and shirts and everything.
And yesterday I figured it that it's just a really huge coping method for me.
I used to starve myself to cope with everything around me. I would feel a lack of control, so my weight and the amount that I would eat felt like I had a lot of power, and the more weight I lost the more power I had. Watching David cry each time I'd sink into that really hurt, so I would try to find different ways to deal.
So I'll put on a Disney movie, maybe hold something related, and lay down and watch it. And keep watching it until I feel better. Granted, I'm not eating when I watch it, but it's not the same not-eating as before.
This also has helped David a lot, because he never understood how to help me. Now he knows that if I seem even close to stressed, he'll go and pick out a movie for me and hold me while I watch a movie.
