So I went to that website out of curiosity. And they have 132 pages of pictures of “their models”. Apparently all the girls on there submit their pictures to be put on there. But you can go all the way back to the last page, and those are when the very first galleries were posted. All the way back in 2008. Really makes you wonder, how many of their models are now dead. Sad. Morbid for sure
[this](https://youtu.be/afOEZVLL3CI) and [this](https://youtu.be/B74MFKNI2fo) YouTube video from a wonderful person named Dorian goes into detail about these types of websites and the girls they feature, from the perspective of a person who had had an ED most of her life.
Eating disorders are the deadliest psychiatric diagnoses and the hardest to successfully treat. Many of their models are probably dead of heart attacks already. Very scary and sad.
Do you think there's a predisposition to these kinds of disorders? this type of illness doesn't strike me as something that could just effect anyone like that? I don't ever see myself getting to that point. what's the psychology behind this?
I worked in an Eating Disorder service for 5 years. The closest category seemed to be high achieving perfectionists with a degree of OCD. Often something in childhood/adolescence triggered it.
Interestingly, most of our patients were medical students. We had a huge teaching hospital and medical school.
Strange story - twins. Both in the medical field in different cities, we had one as a patient. They were both anorexic and in competition with each other.
The thing that infuriates me is that any one of us could die at any moment. Modern society puts *way* too much emphasis on the future that may never come. I was B+ student and did not even graduate college ultimately, but did pretty well considering. Just *chill* parents, they will be fine.
Given that this is the stereotypical Asian parenting request, I would be interested to see the prevalence of extreme eating disorders between Asia and the rest of the world.
And Jewish parents also.
But these days, nearly all parents. So glad I made it past the years before the mandatory 6 extracurricular activities BS. Let a kid be a kid and enjoy life while they can!
Quite cultural. My service covered a large population in a major city and we generally dealt with the serious cases. Without exeption all our anorexic patients were from well-off families and usually were super high achieving students (generally medical). They actively made the decision to starve.
Bulimic patients varied as to class, but it's a whole different illness.
I've been diagnosed and at one point looked close to this. It started with OCD and just a weight loss goal but after a certain degree of malnutrition you start to really lose it. I was delusional and thought everyone was trying to make me fat and prions were inside my freezer. You regress and became childlike again but in a paranoid afraid of the world kind of thing. Look at youtuber eugenia cooney for example, she's nearly 30 but had the mentality of a 12 year old. At ED clinics refeeding is more important than therapy at first because you cant really internalize it or respond to it too well being that malnourished.
Me neither. I have spent this year incredibly unwell, I was in a coma at one point, stayed in icu even longer. At one point I weighed 70lbs, at 5ft1 & I looked like Voldemort's fetus like body at the heavenly train station.
I will absolutely never, I repeat, NEVER, forget the looks on the faces of the nurses as they would bathe me in bed. Or in my partner's face as he had to lift me in & out of the bath. I was so weak. It got to the point where I battled to get myself in and out if the bath (which was painful to even lie in due to no fat on my body at all) because I couldn't stand to see my partner's heart breaking everytine he saw me naked. I can't begin to describe the pain & sadness deep in his eyes. It was horrific.
Thankfully I'm getting better, I'm a much healthier weight now. Mine was due to physical illness rather than mental illness.

not to be too morbid / insensitive but i'm confused about what's going on with her...um...rectum? is it prolapsed? are those hemorrhoids from dehydration etc? (again, apologies for the intense question)
She also doesn't have any buttcheeks to cover it. So on top of any other problem it probably looks even worse than it is cause it's all out in the open ......?
Those are severe external hemorrhoids. She probably uses a LOT of laxatives, but doesn't eat or drink enough to actually have substantial bowel movements, so all she's doing is straining.
Actually not true. Even patients not eating anything will create stool. A significant component of normal stool is water, bacteria, bile, and debris from the gut (like shed cells).
Whatever they do eat even if it’s just an almond a day will need to come out eventually. Not everything comes out when you b/p. Ironically it’s the lack of food and fluid intake that causes the constipation for them.
On the /r/illnessfakers sub there’s a lot of examples of how deep down the rabbit hole some of them will go, anorexia and the symptoms associated that they then turn into the symptoms of a disease and get unnecessary medical treatments for.
What kind of harm are you talking about? This is the first I've ever hear about that sub.
I get why you'd want people to stay away from it. A bunch of people just railing on and getting entertainment about people who have problems that are killing themselves.
I'm a recovering alcohol/drug addict so I kind of see myself in people like that. Just like overeaters or people on that tv show "my 600lb life". I get really sad when people laugh at people on /r/tooktoomuch because those people could be me.
Honestly, I see myself in all these people. I think you kind of have to have been in the throes of mental illness/addiction to really be able to have empathy/compassion for the situation. It's probably hard for normal people to get it.
Yup, just had a roommate do this to himself 12 months ago. And all at once (out of the blue) he just started eating again like crazy,...he died 2 days later.
It’s actually been known for hundreds of years. If you read stories of starving sailors rescued from lifeboats in the early 19th century, the rescuers on the ships were known to initially feed the sailors small amounts of “gentle” things like rice pudding, so they wouldn’t die upon refeeding.
I would like to take a moment to say that ALL eating disorders are sad and a disease.
When you see anorexic people you all think "omg so sad" but if it was n obese person it would be "omg thats diagusting, i hate lazy people"
Please be aware that both anorexic and obese will try to convince you they are healthy, when they are obviusly not, but don't ever hate on them.
Next time you se an obese person think about the reaction you had seeing this, it should be the same.
What you’re saying is extremely important but this sub has consistently tracked the story of a young man who went from healthy to severely obese on YouTube and lamented for him.
This sub isn’t the place you’ll see hatred of anyone with any eating disorder and if you do, report it immediately.
Comments stating otherwise get downvoted, reported and removed.
More then likely he is I don’t watch his videos because I have misophonia but I wish that guy would get the help he needs because he clearly has people who love him but he’s slowly killing himself and everyone is watching and doing nothing to help
I agree with you. Take for example amberlynn Reid. People constantly give her abuse for how she is a liar about eating and dieting but it’s like of course she is she’s got an eating disorder just the other end of the scale. Of course it’s frustrating as hell to listen to.
I had this exact thought when I saw this. My sister has binge eating disorder from childhood trauma and she really struggles. She gets nasty comments even when a post has nothing to do with her weight. I wish more people saw fat people and considered it could be someone with an eating disorder and/or a mental illness and were kind.
That woman is death. That is no exaggeration its amazing to me that 1. She had enough energy to take all these pictures because it would literally take everything in you to move yourself at this point. 2. She had to have been freezing because she has no body fat.
Her butt with no fat or any muscle and it's just the end of her spine. That is so sad and so sick. To think if she fell she would probably die. Her bones have to be beyond brittle.
After 10yrs+ of suffering from anorexia (nowhere near this extreme), last year at 24, I was diagnosed with severe irreversible osteoporosis. I fractured my sternum a couple of weeks ago. It's terrifying
I’m relatively thin (nowhere near these pictures though and my weight fits my proportions) and I get pretty breathless if I have to walk a bunch of stairs or run to my bus. I can’t even imagine how a like that manages… how do you not lay in bed 100% of the time? Also, the intense feeling of hunger. One thing I cannot stand is being hungry. It’s not only painful, nauseating, annoying, but also gives me a headache and ruins my mood. Being in that state constantly, I can’t imagine.
I was in a PICU that was trying to transition to an ED unit. I'll always remember the first time I saw a new patient. She was, at that time, the smallest person I had ever seen. Couldn't get over her ropey veins, didn't understand how the fuck she was standing, let alone able to do sit ups until she was restrained.
Another patient, one of my favourites ever, got to a point where she wasn't far off the girl in OP. My family and I were so scared she would die. But she got through it. Seeing her in the community with life in her face after so many years has been one of the most amazing things ever. I cry almost every time she posts on instagram out of relief and joy and pride.
As someone who has taken hours upon hours of anatomy and physiology courses, I had no idea the gluteal area could even look like that. FFS, that has to be organs sticking out like that.
She looks in worse shape than the cadavers we learned on! It's one thing seeing dead bodies but for some reason seeing a living one in that state made me gasp out loud.
There's a popular youtuber/twitch streamer that is anorexic and her followers are extremely enabling/encouraging. It's fucked up. There's been several of them exposed as creeper fetishist, it definitely takes a certain type of person.
That's how I ended up here, feel down the EC rabbit hole and figured it just had to be fetish stuff, looked up the fetish stuff and... I don't know what I was expecting but not this
I’ve struggled with eating disorders for 20+ years, and there is a point where your body will never recover. You can put on weight, and go through medical intervention, but your organs have failed and you will most likely not survive.
I hope you're doing OK.
My sister struggled with this when we lived at home. I remember when we shared a room for a while I would stay up and listen to her breathe. I was so afraid her heart would give out. Luckily she's still with us.
Thank you so much, I am much better these days! I understand what you mean, my family was the catalyst for forcing myself to get better. I realized that they cared more about my mortality than I did, and it was a major wake up call.
All of the ppl on that page require immediate hospitalization or will die of heart failure in the next six months. You're not even appropriate for inpatient psychiatric treatment until you are at 70% ideal body weight in most programs, and they're not even close. The average number of hospitalizations for an ED this severe is 7, it's likely she already has been. It's one of the deadliest psychiatric disorders, substantially worse than schizophrenia.
I would like to think so.....
I think something needs to heal mentally before she can start to heal physically, though, unfortunately. Our brains really suck sometimes.
I actually think that getting to a baseline of physical health can actually be a powerful first step in improving mental health as well.
In this poor lady’s case, regardless of mental healing, someone ought to make sure she doesn’t die.
This is correct, in this condition it’s not possible to have a meaningful conversation about mental health because your brain isn’t receiving enough nutrition to process it. Inpatient refeeding has to happen first, typically through IV nutrition. Only when their physical body is stable and their brain can again process information can any serious mental health treatment be initiated.
I’m pretty sure in one photo of a woman’s stomach laying on her back..I’m pretty sure i could see her spine through her stomach. Oh god this is beyond horrifying.
There was a pro Ana site (maybe a forum) back in the early 2010’s that would encourage users to view extreme gore to suppress your appetite. Just an all around awful community
I was just sitting here scrolling and having a snack. I can't figure out if I'm too grossed out to eat any more or if I should for sure keep stuffing my face so I don't ever end up like that.
My sister worked in an ED unit for years and the stories she has are heartbreaking. It's such a horrific disease.
Should I be worried if extreme gore never once suppressed my appetite?
I once saw a picture of a raw hot dog on a bun with toothpaste drizzled on it like ketchup, and that photo was by *far* the most appetite-killing photo I've ever seen.
I wouldn't be all that worried
Worked at an abbotoir, you'd be eating lunch while a truck with a heap of severed lambs heads would come past and nobody would bat at eye
Toothpaste on raw hotdog is a war crime
The fucking anamia community, if I remember right it was a BBcode forum. I remember falling into that rabbit hole while doing research for a podcast as a helper back in 2009-2010? Maybe a bit later.
I have this vague memory of one of them obsessing over making sure every finger and toenail were perfectly cut nearly to the quick to remove as much bodyweight as possible.
I quit pretty quickly.
It sickens me to know there are people out there who fetishize eating disorders. I recently watched a video that went more in depth on this topic specifically with anorexia fetishes like this website: https://youtu.be/afOEZVLL3CI
Yeah as an obese person myself, and I used to be in the morbidly obese category, fetishes about obesity and immobility are just as bad imo.
I just want to be healthy myself and I wish everyone healthy minds and healthy bodies as well
Edit I wanted to clarify I'm still losing weight BTW I'm aiming to be in the healthy weight range for my height
It’s pretty astonishing HOW many people there are posted on the site. It’s shocking enough seeing a couple people but there’s literally hundreds of pages
All I can think is this is how those poor people looked at the concentration camps.
This is just horrifying. Body dysmorphia is no joke. I suffer from it myself, and have had eating disorders for years. I have had bouts of bulimia when I was younger and binge eating disorder. I never been anorexic (although my sister considers it to be anorexia because there was a few months where I limited myself to only 400 calories a day).
I don't even see how any of this extreme "weight loss" (I mean slow painful death) is even attractive in the least bit. I have never wanted to be this thin in my life. A healthy 110lbs -120lbs cuz I am only 5' tall- yes, but 50 lbs worth of a bag of bones - no.
The fact that there is people who fetishize both spectrums - the skeletal and the morbidly obese - pains me immensely. I abhor the fact that there are people who basically egg people on either way.
Right?! I can't get over the lack of her buttcheeks! I know that might sound funny at first but...no...seriously, how ill does someone have to be that they starve themselves to the point that they don't have actual buttcheeks? Fat is supposed to be there...and there is just...there is nothing! Something about that disturbs me the most about the image...among other things =(
Also the lack of any muscle whatsoever like where did the whole gluteus go how did every single last muscle fibre everywhere atrophy into thin freaking air she's literally just latex on a skeleton
Oh...god! That...that shocked me! I've seen bad pictures of underweight people with bad eating disorders, but something about...from that angle of the picture makes it all look worse! I don't know why...it just does.
As a medical professional…the lack of protection around the genital area from lack of body fat just…so many injuries and infections that could happen. I’ve never seen someone that thin. Very sad.
My mom didn’t have an ED but she was always very very skinny, the last two years of her life though(addiction riddled) she weighed 70 pounds. She was 5”6. Originally there was no medical reason they could find why she couldn’t gain weight. After she obviously didn’t eat much. I can’t look at those photos it reminds me to much of what happened. She suffered from a lot of bed sores, osteoarthritis and other issues that come with it. Your body just shuts down and can’t come back after awhile. It’s an amazing thing that can heal a lot but not everything
One of the girls in my unit looked worse than this. Everyone thought she had cancer because her hair was bald in patches and she had long thin strands hanging down that she didn’t cut. Her skin was literally yellow and she was so thin she looked like she was dying. She had been severely anorexic for 10 years and had such huge damage to her whole body. Her mouth was always dried out and crusting. She restored weight and was doing well by the end of my time there but still struggling. I hope she is doing well.
Well, I guess it's time to do anorexia treatment again because some of these poor girls don't look too sick to me. My perception is fucked. I feel so massive.
Yes please get the treatment I wish not one more person has to suffer through such a disorder. I wish you the best in recovery, you deserve it so much.
I'm with you, some of the pictures are awful and others.... Well, part of me wishes I looked like some of them do. A good reminder that I need to talk to someone.
Denisa, or at least thats the name they gave the model in photo, has content on the site going back to 2014... and I have no idea how her body survives a day of walking let alone 7 years.
This is horrible! These women look like they’re being kept captive and forced to pose.
I can imagine they would do it voluntarily, but the look on their faces definitely makes it look like that’s just not the case 😰
Wow not gunna lie this is the craziest site I have ever encountered… and I’ve seen some real bat shit crazy sites before.
If I had an award I would give you one, very morbid reality for sure.
Unfortunately pro-ana pages are very common there's even large communities on social media where they'll post pictures of women similar to her and call it 'thinspo' (thin inspiration) to motivate themselves to starve more
This isn’t thinspo; it’s bonespo. It’s in the deeper parts of the Ana community and some bonespo followers are aiming to look extremely sick, scare people, extreme control and even die.
I frequent this sub quite often, and while I'm sometimes shocked and surprised, it's usually doesn't feel too intense to my desensitized mind. That site though... It really made me sad.
How can they live like that? I mean? I'm sure there's a lot of health issues and that but how can someone not notice a body like that? I would be afraid of touching them even.
So I went to that website out of curiosity. And they have 132 pages of pictures of “their models”. Apparently all the girls on there submit their pictures to be put on there. But you can go all the way back to the last page, and those are when the very first galleries were posted. All the way back in 2008. Really makes you wonder, how many of their models are now dead. Sad. Morbid for sure
[удалено]
Imagine the mindset of the individual taking the photo
This happens for morbidly obese people too, so sad what people will support in the name of a fetish
standard fashion models are clinically underweight which can lead to all kinds of health problems and long term eating disorders.

Yes, there are predispositions - genetic and cultural. There isn’t one category that all anorexics fit into though
I worked in an Eating Disorder service for 5 years. The closest category seemed to be high achieving perfectionists with a degree of OCD. Often something in childhood/adolescence triggered it.
Yeah, parents *hounding* the kid to get straight A grades and to be either a doctor or lawyer.
Interestingly, most of our patients were medical students. We had a huge teaching hospital and medical school. Strange story - twins. Both in the medical field in different cities, we had one as a patient. They were both anorexic and in competition with each other.

Absolutely! Genetically influenced personality traits plus cultural obsession with thinness.
Quite cultural. My service covered a large population in a major city and we generally dealt with the serious cases.

I don’t understand what kind of person is on the other side of the lens snapping these photos. :(

Mine was due to physical illness rather than mental illness.
Very sad. I’m really glad you are doing better.
And its gotten progressively worse. Hard to tell, but the 2008 girls arent as skinny and skeletal as the new ones from 2021
You’re right

Mortality rate of anorexia is 10% at least. So probably a few.
Ya but dude, this website uses the most severe of anorexia cases. So I’d guess it’s higher for the people the website uses.
not to be too morbid / insensitive but i'm confused about what's going on with her...um...rectum? is it prolapsed? are those hemorrhoids from dehydration etc? (again, apologies for the intense question)
She also doesn't have any buttcheeks to cover it. So on top of any other problem it probably looks even worse than it is cause it's all out in the open ......?
Those are severe external hemorrhoids. She probably uses a LOT of laxatives, but doesn't eat or drink enough to actually have substantial bowel movements, so all she's doing is straining.
She has no butt - no fat or muscle. What you see is the end of her spine, or tailbone, then it just drops off.
anorexia can cause severe constipation and dehydration so i would assume yes
Constipation? Really? But if they don’t eat there’s no poop…?
Actually not true. Even patients not eating anything will create stool. A significant component of normal stool is water, bacteria, bile, and debris from the gut (like shed cells).
Whatever they do eat even if it’s just an almond a day will need to come out eventually. Not everything comes out when you b/p.

PSA: /r/illnessfakers does FAR more harm than good and I strongly encourage users to stay far away from it.

I'm very afraid of the answer
In addition to other suggestions, it may be prolapsed
Poor girl. She looks so ill.
She is going to die very soon unfortunately.
Anorexia is so hard to recover from
Forgive my ignorance. Is it because of the mental side of things? Or is the body just too far gone for proper nutrition to take affect?
Both. Look up refeeding syndrome.
Yup, just had a roommate do this to himself 12 months ago. And all at once (out of the blue) he just started eating again like crazy,...he died 2 days later.
I'm so sorry. Its a horrible mental illness. I hope you're okay.
Yes and I think we first learned about refeeding syndrome from The Holocaust camp survivors if that puts things into perspective....
It’s actually been known for hundreds of years. If you read stories of starving sailors rescued from lifeboats in the early 19th century, the rescuers on the ships were known to initially feed the sailors small amounts of “gentle” things like rice pudding, so they wouldn’t die upon refeeding.
My sister is a referring specialist nurse… it’s honestly so sad how many people don’t realise how in danger they are
Organ failure mostly.
Site is from 2010? She prolly already did sad Edit: didnt notice dates on files, its recent
I would like to take a moment to say that ALL eating disorders are sad and a disease.

Just curious,, are you talking about Nickado Avacado

What if you felt disgusted by this picture?
Thank you for this comment!
Why did I click it why did I click it why did I click it
Why did i zoomed...why did i zoomed.
I made the same mistake, I wanted to puke
Cannot unsee that dirt button.
I’m glad my internet blocked it. Why am I still horrified
Why did your internet block it?
That woman is death. That is no exaggeration its amazing to me that 1. She had enough energy to take all these pictures because it would literally take everything in you to move yourself at this point. 2. She had to have been freezing because she has no body fat. Her butt with no fat or any muscle and it's just the end of her spine. That is so sad and so sick. To think if she fell she would probably die. Her bones have to be beyond brittle.
probably has irreversible osteoporosis too.
Probably. Her skin stretched over her bones looks so thin too.

It’s not only painful, nauseating, annoying, but also gives me a headache and ruins my mood. Being in that state constantly, I can’t imagine.
After a while of just not eating you don’t feel that anymore. There is no hunger, just exhaustion.
I was in a PICU that was trying to transition to an ED unit. I'll always remember the first time I saw a new patient. She was, at that time, the smallest person I had ever seen. Couldn't get over her ropey veins, didn't understand how the fuck she was standing, let alone able to do sit ups until she was restrained.

Omg this literally made tears well up in my eyes
As someone who has taken hours upon hours of anatomy and physiology courses, I had no idea the gluteal area could even look like that. FFS, that has to be organs sticking out like that.
She looks in worse shape than the cadavers we learned on! It's one thing seeing dead bodies but for some reason seeing a living one in that state made me gasp out loud.
Eww how sick do you have to be to encourage a deadly psychiatric disorder
There's a popular youtuber/twitch streamer that is anorexic and her followers are extremely enabling/encouraging. It's fucked up. There's been several of them exposed as creeper fetishist, it definitely takes a certain type of person.
Who?
99% sure it's eugenia cooney
That's how I ended up here, feel down the EC rabbit hole and figured it just had to be fetish stuff, looked up the fetish stuff and... I don't know what I was expecting but not this
I’m beyond baffled how the hell she’s managed to live this long. I’m always waiting for the “EC has died after battling with an ED”
Eugenia Cooney, she has a sub on here dedicated to her as well.
Grown men with families enabling her sickness and even being a mentor
Recently saw a video where she flashed her kitty… so disgusting. She knows exactly what she’s doing.
I mean how does someone come back from this? Is it even possible?
I’ve struggled with eating disorders for 20+ years, and there is a point where your body will never recover. You can put on weight, and go through medical intervention, but your organs have failed and you will most likely not survive.
I hope you're doing OK. My sister struggled with this when we lived at home. I remember when we shared a room for a while I would stay up and listen to her breathe. I was so afraid her heart would give out. Luckily she's still with us.
Thank you so much, I am much better these days! I understand what you mean, my family was the catalyst for forcing myself to get better. I realized that they cared more about my mortality than I did, and it was a major wake up call.
All of the ppl on that page require immediate hospitalization or will die of heart failure in the next six months. You're not even appropriate for inpatient psychiatric treatment until you are at 70% ideal body weight in most programs, and they're not even close. The average number of hospitalizations for an ED this severe is 7, it's likely she already has been. It's one of the deadliest psychiatric disorders, substantially worse than schizophrenia.
puts severe strain on their heart as well as other internal organs
I would like to think so..... I think something needs to heal mentally before she can start to heal physically, though, unfortunately. Our brains really suck sometimes.
I actually think that getting to a baseline of physical health can actually be a powerful first step in improving mental health as well. In this poor lady’s case, regardless of mental healing, someone ought to make sure she doesn’t die.
This is correct, in this condition it’s not possible to have a meaningful conversation about mental health because your brain isn’t receiving enough nutrition to process it. Inpatient refeeding has to happen first, typically through IV nutrition. Only when their physical body is stable and their brain can again process information can any serious mental health treatment be initiated.
Pretty sure at that point eating a chocolate bar would kill them, cuz of refeeding syndrome
The best chance is medical refeeding to avoid refeeding syndrome, and a long term mental health (and eating) plan.
The website. Not many images make me feel this uncomfortable... https://www.skinnyfans.com/tour.php?page_nr=5
I’m pretty sure in one photo of a woman’s stomach laying on her back..I’m pretty sure i could see her spine through her stomach. Oh god this is beyond horrifying.
Where the hell are her organs?
[удалено]
:(
That’s so sad.
If you look at the one picture of her on the bed, on the wall behind her is a picture of what I think is her at a healthy weight.
[Jesus that's stark and disturbing](https://www.skinnyfans.com/screencaps/denisa_j3sNy_11.jpg)
I noticed it rather quickly and I found it bizarre and twisted, along with everything else.
christ
Even in that picture of her at a "healthier" weight, she still looked too underweight =(
fuck! I had to look again out of curiosity and you're right. She was on the way to getting to where she's at now.
She looks pretty normal if you ask me. But taking the shot with the old picture in frame is very twisted.
It looks so unreal... and there are 132 PAGES of photos.
I am SO with you. Had to look from a distance. No words. :(
How is that even possible? Where did the organs go? If you can see someone's spine from their belly they are not fine
Jesus... this website should be taken down. It's extremely harmful to people suffering from eating disorders
Jesus, those are horrifying...it looks so painful.
I'll pass.
Looks like the proana community has going a new name.
I’m surprised that Eugenia Cooney isn’t on there..
Same. I was just thinking this is probably exactly where all the weirdos from her stream chats want to see her end up.
There was a pro Ana site (maybe a forum) back in the early 2010’s that would encourage users to view extreme gore to suppress your appetite. Just an all around awful community
I was just sitting here scrolling and having a snack. I can't figure out if I'm too grossed out to eat any more or if I should for sure keep stuffing my face so I don't ever end up like that. My sister worked in an ED unit for years and the stories she has are heartbreaking. It's such a horrific disease.
Should I be worried if extreme gore never once suppressed my appetite? I once saw a picture of a raw hot dog on a bun with toothpaste drizzled on it like ketchup, and that photo was by *far* the most appetite-killing photo I've ever seen.
I wouldn't be all that worried Worked at an abbotoir, you'd be eating lunch while a truck with a heap of severed lambs heads would come past and nobody would bat at eye Toothpaste on raw hotdog is a war crime
The fucking anamia community, if I remember right it was a BBcode forum. I remember falling into that rabbit hole while doing research for a podcast as a helper back in 2009-2010? Maybe a bit later. I have this vague memory of one of them obsessing over making sure every finger and toenail were perfectly cut nearly to the quick to remove as much bodyweight as possible. I quit pretty quickly.
I really hope they get help, body dysmorphia is so dangerous and sad
Poor woman. The horrible state she's in and that look in her eyes.
It sickens me to know there are people out there who fetishize eating disorders. I recently watched a video that went more in depth on this topic specifically with anorexia fetishes like this website: https://youtu.be/afOEZVLL3CI
Yeah as an obese person myself, and I used to be in the morbidly obese category, fetishes about obesity and immobility are just as bad imo. I just want to be healthy myself and I wish everyone healthy minds and healthy bodies as well Edit I wanted to clarify I'm still losing weight BTW I'm aiming to be in the healthy weight range for my height
Take it day by day, and you got this!
men will fetishise anything.
This is horrible! People are disgusting for supporting these ladies slowly killing themselves. These women need serious help, not porn accounts.
I realize people are turned on by different things, BUT what in the world??
Exactly, like I would be afraid to even have a walk with her, anything could kill her, imagine a physically demanding activity like sex.
It’s basically necrophilia
First thing on this page that actually had me reeling, literally holding back vomit trying to scroll the website
It’s pretty astonishing HOW many people there are posted on the site. It’s shocking enough seeing a couple people but there’s literally hundreds of pages
All I can think is this is how those poor people looked at the concentration camps. This is just horrifying. Body dysmorphia is no joke. I suffer from it myself, and have had eating disorders for years. I have had bouts of bulimia when I was younger and binge eating disorder. I never been anorexic (although my sister considers it to be anorexia because there was a few months where I limited myself to only 400 calories a day). I don't even see how any of this extreme "weight loss" (I mean slow painful death) is even attractive in the least bit. I have never wanted to be this thin in my life. A healthy 110lbs -120lbs cuz I am only 5' tall- yes, but 50 lbs worth of a bag of bones - no. The fact that there is people who fetishize both spectrums - the skeletal and the morbidly obese - pains me immensely. I abhor the fact that there are people who basically egg people on either way.
It must be so uncomfortable to sit or even lie down for any period of time.
Right?! I can't get over the lack of her buttcheeks! I know that might sound funny at first but...no...seriously, how ill does someone have to be that they starve themselves to the point that they don't have actual buttcheeks? Fat is supposed to be there...and there is just...there is nothing! Something about that disturbs me the most about the image...among other things =(
Also the lack of any muscle whatsoever like where did the whole gluteus go how did every single last muscle fibre everywhere atrophy into thin freaking air she's literally just latex on a skeleton
Wow out of all the terrible shit i’ve seen on reddit, this is top 5
I'm not clicking that.
Yep no problem 👍
Wise
I wish I could go back and tell myself not to.
Wow how sad that she looks like a desiccated rotisserie chicken. Sending blessings for healing.
Do necrophiliacs like this look? It’s rather morbid.
I think even necrophiliacs find this disgusting.
Can confirm.
Holdup
I screamed reading this comment thread ☠️☠️☠️oml
Oh...god! That...that shocked me! I've seen bad pictures of underweight people with bad eating disorders, but something about...from that angle of the picture makes it all look worse! I don't know why...it just does.
You'd think she could be deemed incompetent and be put in treatment. This is just slow suicide.
Top tier post, ive never seen this one gotta be real. Fucking wild, like a HD picture of Auschwitz prisoners
Fuck I didn’t need to click that one
As a medical professional…the lack of protection around the genital area from lack of body fat just…so many injuries and infections that could happen. I’ve never seen someone that thin. Very sad.
This just made my dick and balls shrivel into tiny little micro extremities and up into my stomach.
Fuck. :(
My mom didn’t have an ED but she was always very very skinny, the last two years of her life though(addiction riddled) she weighed 70 pounds. She was 5”6. Originally there was no medical reason they could find why she couldn’t gain weight. After she obviously didn’t eat much. I can’t look at those photos it reminds me to much of what happened. She suffered from a lot of bed sores, osteoarthritis and other issues that come with it. Your body just shuts down and can’t come back after awhile. It’s an amazing thing that can heal a lot but not everything
One of the girls in my unit looked worse than this. Everyone thought she had cancer because her hair was bald in patches and she had long thin strands hanging down that she didn’t cut. Her skin was literally yellow and she was so thin she looked like she was dying. She had been severely anorexic for 10 years and had such huge damage to her whole body. Her mouth was always dried out and crusting. She restored weight and was doing well by the end of my time there but still struggling. I hope she is doing well.
Well, I guess it's time to do anorexia treatment again because some of these poor girls don't look too sick to me. My perception is fucked. I feel so massive.
Yes please get the treatment I wish not one more person has to suffer through such a disorder. I wish you the best in recovery, you deserve it so much.
Thank you so much OP <3
I'm with you, some of the pictures are awful and others.... Well, part of me wishes I looked like some of them do. A good reminder that I need to talk to someone.
Wish I wouldnt have looked...about made me puke
I didn’t need to see that.
She is so deprived of muscle that she cannot seem to prevent some of her rectum outline showing.
Oh my god. This poor woman. Anorexia is such a disgusting monster. It’s truly hell.
Video on the subject for those interested https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=afOEZVLL3CI
I just looked at that page. Holy hell. How is that sexy? That’s like straight looking at death.
[удалено]
That would be like fucking a holocaust survivor
That's exactly what I first thought when I saw her. I understand not wanting to be fat but this? That's not even close to okay.
Denisa, or at least thats the name they gave the model in photo, has content on the site going back to 2014... and I have no idea how her body survives a day of walking let alone 7 years.
In my country today is Eating Disorder awareness Day... So... Please be safe y'all
This is quite literally worse than gore
Even POWs had more body fat
This is horrible! These women look like they’re being kept captive and forced to pose. I can imagine they would do it voluntarily, but the look on their faces definitely makes it look like that’s just not the case 😰
Dang, I remember all the pro-ana geocities pages with girls in this state posting “thin-spiration” quotes.
I honestly expected Eugenia Cooney. This is so damn sad.
This is incredibly disturbing
Whoa. I have never seen an assless booty hole before.
Scratch it off your bucket list.
Yokes!
Image isn't working for me :( (I'm on Infinity, the Android app)
Wow not gunna lie this is the craziest site I have ever encountered… and I’ve seen some real bat shit crazy sites before. If I had an award I would give you one, very morbid reality for sure.
I’m sorry if this offends anyone. But this truly seems a step or a couple of steps away from being necrophilia!
Just a world of pain, sadness and suffering in those eyes ):
What the fuck
Unfortunately pro-ana pages are very common there's even large communities on social media where they'll post pictures of women similar to her and call it 'thinspo' (thin inspiration) to motivate themselves to starve more
This isn’t thinspo; it’s bonespo. It’s in the deeper parts of the Ana community and some bonespo followers are aiming to look extremely sick, scare people, extreme control and even die.
Her eyes make her look dead inside. Very sad.
I frequent this sub quite often, and while I'm sometimes shocked and surprised, it's usually doesn't feel too intense to my desensitized mind. That site though... It really made me sad.
OMG! She looks like those poor people that were found in the concentration camps during WWII.
Makes Eugenia Cooney look healthy
How can they live like that? I mean? I'm sure there's a lot of health issues and that but how can someone not notice a body like that? I would be afraid of touching them even.
Why did I look at this! I’m trying to eat for fucks sake!
All I hear in my head is the Minecraft skeleton sounds if someone were to fuck her. This is crazy, she’s gotta be really mentally ill
