Anorexia

Have you guys ever known someone who is anorexic?
I am watching a documentary about it right now. Its quite a horrifying illness.
Apparently it has a higher fatality rate than any other psychiatric illness.
Its so bizarre that something that has such a simple solution (eating) can kill so many people.
Are doctors not allowed to force feed or feed the patient through a drip?
I am at a loss to understand this condition. I guess I am just curious if anyone has any insights, personal experiences or thoughts on it.

I don't think they are allowed to force feed, unless they have a court order saying that the person cannot make rational decisions based on mental illness... but I can't see how that wouldn't simply be delaying the inevitable... If someone doesn't THINK they are sick, then FORCING them to go to a hospital or clinic, even with the court order is simply unenforceable...
However, I have no experience with anorexia, so take everything I say with a pinch of proverbial salt.
Cheers!

I don't even think they can do it then, save for knock you out and give you IV nutrition and hope you're doped up enough to eat when you get up before you remember you are and will always be a fat fuck. I used to be bulimic actually... I think theirs is a lot less messy, but much more horrifying.
Here's why you can't force feed ANYONE that you haven't called a terrorist:
You'd have to imply some sort of Al Quaida(sp?) involvement.
Marijuana is often used to treat anorexia but this is in its own way cruel. You feel awful about your body and are afraid to eat cause of it? We're going to make food IRRESISTABLY GOOD, especially fatty, salty food.

I know a couple friends with Eating Disorder NOS since doctors haven't named "using appetite suppressants in lieu of sufficient shame in Anorexic mindsets".
If you are being serious, I kind of want to talk to you.

Body Dysmorphic Disorder. There's a good book called the Adonis Complex supposedly about it.
What's special about that is it was--and may still be--the only one addressing body image issues in men. Surprise, bitches, we have feelings too.
Eating Disorder is a misnomer. It implies the problem is mechanical and about if foods not going down enough or if foods going down and back up.
It's a disorder of perception, people. I was 5'11, thin (I practicaly now see my old self as skinny in photographs from my cross country days), and hot as fuck (for a computer geek). But I didn't get to enjoy it or feel good, or even comfortable, entombed in the particular host I inhabit because it looked fat to me.
GYNECOMASTIA is another killer problem that nobody wants to talk about.
Thank you for your candor, Legend. I'm tempted not to PM you in the hopes others might see this (which I might have just PMed to you if only to vent) who could benefit from it. Then again, if you can show me something that makes people instantly comfortable in their own skin, I'll gladly take a look. Problem is I am actually fat now
Anyway, sorry to thread hijack. Anorexia in particular is SUPER FUCKING MORBID... your body EATS itself.
But you can fit into a size negative whatever dress it looks like:

i'd say Body Dysmorphic Disorder plays a part in my eating disorder, or my past eating disorder. I still can't really see my bod objectively. but most days i have to force myself to eat, and set reminders. if it wasn't for killer stomach pains, i wouldn't ever eat.

At least you're thin/toned, if that's you taking a shit in your profile pic.
As you can see, I'm balding and have ginger dreadlocks 
Just trying to lighten shit up. Not saying shit isn't (potentially dead) serious.

I'm curious, anyone with anorexia feel free to answer.
When you look at yourself in the mirror, can you see your skin and bones? Or are you literally seeing an overweight version of yourself?
I ask, because the mind is a powerful thing. While tripping (which basically temporarily induces/emulates various mental illnesses), I'll look in the mirror and sometimes see an old version of myself, or a fat/skinny version. I'm just curious if the mental condition anorexia actually warps your perspective of your image, or if you can actually see your ribs and bones yet still feel fat.

^ Yeah, kind of like looking into mirrors during lucid dreams. You (allegedly) see what you see yours self as... not as things are... Sometimes it can be quite startling...

I'm not anorexic but I have a bit of body dysmorphic disorder, even when I was on steroids and people would tell me I was completely ripped and complimented on how good I looked, I always saw myself as being fat and out of shape

stillnox, don't ever clarify yourself with me. i totaly understand where you are coming from. and i do not take offense or anything. i totaly appriciate the person you are. if you have anyq uestions or ever just wanna talk you can always PM me. but i do like the idea of this thread, and shroomery in general because it spreads awareness. we talk about those things no one IRL wants to admit.
but no thats not me, you can find pics of me in the pics of pubbers threads though.
im pretty skinny, not toned, but i finaly am gaining some weight back. im not really the most in shape guy in the world, but my doctor says i look better with meat on my bones. as i was once BONE skinny. i used to thrive on those compliments "oh man you're losing weight" but eventualy, that turned into "my god, man you need to eat" so im on the path to revovery.
my apologies everyone for spelling errors, and grammer as well. typing fast, and on a phone.

I think for most you can see the difference in how you look, but it just doesn't quite register. And your just too focused on how much more different/skinnier you can look.

Put your middle finger down your throat and tickle your uvula/very back of the tongue for gag reflex.
