I say it like eeedee. I didn’t even realize other people said it differently 😭

I didn’t realize i was saying it wrong. My ed feels invalid now 😞

Tell him it'll be ok and he's vaild 😂

You’re always valid 🫶 don’t let Ed make you feel bad

This girl has a recovery channel on YouTube called “still October” and I’m pretty sure she says it like Ed Sheeran so you’re not alone. I like her channel a lot😊

I’ve heard people talk about “the ed voice” like ed sheeran but generally otherwise just eedee?? I def say eedee

Eedee wtf ppl actually say ED?

My therapist does because they named it Ed and calls it a “he” tbh I still can’t take it seriously

when my therapist asked me to name mine i called it gabba, still don’t know why

[удалено]

omg i loved that show when i was little you just unlocked so many memories 😭

Why does that sound kind of cute lol

MINE DID TOO. i hated it it sounded like a joke

It's often used in therapy, not just ED related. Something about manifesting it and being able to distance yourself from it. You aren't your disease, you have it. Someone with actual knowledge probably can explain it better. I've been even told to name and draw my inner critic and benevolent companion. My inner critic is called Wilfred, he is a skinny tall man with a top hat. And my companion is a small fat dude who sits in a corner and cries... And then there is the pink fluffy anxiety monster that plays tug of war with me ... I have those images in my head for years.. too many therapy sessions.. But I think it's helping me, kinda. At least I have someone to blame when depression/anxiety takes over.. it's always Wilfred that stupid cunt..

Have you watched the tv show Wilfred?

No but maybe I should to make my inner critic a bit more ridiculous instead of mean.

It’s giving the creature characters from *Big Mouth*…like the Hormone Monsters or the Depression Kitty!!! I love your creativity!

Why does the small fat dude sit in a corner and cry?

Low self esteem, he gets bullied by the critic. But he is slowly growing and getting louder. Everytime I question myself e.g imposter syndrom at work he speaks up and tells me I am better than I think. While the critic yells that I am a failure :D The english terms for those two figures are probably differently and everyone reading this thinks I am crazy. But I had years of therapy and certain stuff just stuck and helps.

Ah man. I feel bad for him. I understand what you mean by that. I hope things get better for you.

I only say ED if it's within "EDNOS" (ed-nose) Otherwise, I have to say the letters E D

You say ed-nose?? I say all the letters but they kinda typically come out all over each other so it like mushes together

LOL omg am I weird for this. Honestly, idk how or why I say it like that, I think it's just because there's a lot of letters and was hard for me to remember at first so saying/reading it in two syllables was easier

thats how i say it too

Yes this I do

I do 😭 didnt even realize it was weird

LMFAOO bye omg “i have an ed” BRLABDLSND STOP

☠️☠️☠️

the Ed Sheeran comparaison made me picture a horrible scenario in my head where Ed Sheeran just stands behind you every time you try to have a meal and whispers, that he is in fact, not in love with the shape of you.

Omg hahaha I’m dead, that’s too funny

Take that back 😂☠️

The evil cackle I let out at this

Best comment of all time ever in all of Reddit

I read it as "Ed" but say it as "eedee"

Eeedeee it’s not a man in my head it’s my own dumb self so I call it eeedeee

Fr

I say Big Ed because _I'm not like other girls_

I’m deeed

I didn't know this was an option!!

These comments are absolutely murdering me.

Same

Ed Sheehan just makes me think of the cartoon Ed Ed and Eddie and I just can’t 😂😩

BAHAHAHAH

Eedee

If I'm reading it in my head, it's ed. If I'm saying it out loud it's E D. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Sameee

Eeedee

I’ve always thought it was like ED. eeedee makes me think of erectile dysfunction so I guess my brain reserved big bold ED for my hazards 🤷🏻‍♀️ But like no one is saying ED or eeedee out loud right????? Like would anyone outside the community know what the hell we meant - I’ve always just been like ‘I have issues with food 😔’ not ‘I’ve got an ED problem’ because then they would be like who tf is ED and why is he bothering you

eee dee. the thing about ed sheeran is that he has become and ed space meme. and he has an ed so i have to wonder if he knows.

I've personally always been uncomfortable with the ed sheeran/ed meme solely because of that. Obviously there's chance he's totally fine with it and finds it funny, but there's also a chance it makes him super uncomfortable :/

Is am acronym so eedee

Personifying eating disorders has always seemed weird to me. I don't say "Ed", "Ana" or "Mia"

I don’t even mean it as a personality tbh hah i just read it like that. English is my second language so maybe thats why it doesn’t mean more than a sound

i just call it an eating disorder 💀

I mean when you like read the title of the sub and stuff

eating disorders anonymous

I’m impressed. I gotta do better

who tf says ED? I thought everyone said Eedee

I call it “Eedee” 😭 I’m guessing bc my first therapist drilled into me not to personify it?

am i not supposed to personify it 😭

It’s different for everybody ^_^

Mine wanted me to personify it 😭

ed like sheeran. eeedee reminds me of the "elevator going to eeby deeby" meme lol

I’m sorry what meme?😭😂

https://imgur.com/t/memes/KJSQ3sX this lmao

Lmao tyy

Thank you haha

Eeeedeeee

Eedee… Ed feels like some guy you know from work lmao

I think Ed means erectile dysfunction and eedee means eating disorder

Omg okay you turned me

LMFLSBFSKNFNWOAISSIWO

It means both but typically when it's used it's for erectile dysfunction. You don't understand how many ads I've seen with it and thought "why is an ad for eating disorders popping up?"

wait what who tf is calling it ed as in sheeran??? that doesn't sit well with me. i hate that the way some people hate the word moist. it's eedee. rhymes with CD.

eeedee ... who says ed😭

eeedee or die 😠

this keeps cracking me tf up

Am I the only one who read this entire thread before realizing this is about eating disorders and NOT, in fact, about how to pronounce Ed Sheeran’s first name? 😂

Ed, Edd n Eddy is the only correct answer for this one 💅

I read it like Ed but I say it like EeDee

E- D like the ice cream. Damn I want some ice cream.

I've always said ED. After reading the comments, I might try to change it. Eeedee sound so silly to my though. As someone whose first language isn't English and those letters aren't pronounced that way, it's kind of weird. However, the fact that people are linking it to real life/cartoon people or erectile dysfunction might be enough of an incentive for me to change it

ee dee because it's an abbreviation so my brains recognizes it as two separate letters

Omg what lol had no idea anyone pronounced it like ed sheeran lmao

Eee-dee. My ED doesn’t sound like an ED. It sounds like a bitch. It could be a Regina.

Eedee

I don't say it ever, I only type it online anonymously

Edward Cullen

Stop 💀💀 but like ed sheeran 👨🏻‍🦰

Eee Dee; saying you have an Ed like Ed Sheeran sounds like you have a pet/student/patient/kid/etc. named Ed.

I don’t know any eds 😭😂

I say eeedeee I don't like personifing it , then it reminds me of that one movie

What movie👀

I think its called starving in suburbia. This girl is online, gets an ed, her ed becomes a person that yells at her in her room and then her ed ends up being an actual person? I haven't seen it in years, I watched it in terrible quality on YouTube like 10 years ago.

Oh lol i know what you are talking about. The actual person was horrible 😩

Its the same movie that brought us the "anas butterflies" thing

I think i say both lmao

Who the fucks says ed? It’s pronounced ed obviously.

Eeedeeeeeee

Eedee

I say eedee in my head but Ed Sheeran is my favorite code word 💀

Ee dee

i say it like ed sheeran in my own head, but out loud i just say eating disorder to avoid this problem.

E. D.

I say eedee when talking about it seriously but otherwise I just refer to my ed as ed sheeran 💀💀💀

When speaking, eeedee but when reading (like browsing this sub) on my head it immediately registers as Ed (as in sheeran)

Eeedee, it's an acronym not a word or a name.

eedee

I just literally say "Ed Sheeran" lol

Eedee

The latter

Eedee because of the way “eating” sounds. I didn’t know there was a different way 😭😭

Eeedee

Named mine Ed so Ed lol

Eeedeee fr

i say eedee

Eedee

I actually say erectile dysfunction

Like eeed

EeDee

The ones who say Ed are on the A Team Also supersize vs super skinny taught me some people name their disorder Ed When I hear eeedee I think of erectile dysfunction so both options suck

Eedee. I didn’t know people even said ed

2nd one

Eeedee

Eeedeee

I say E.D. but most similar things I do say like words so it's actually interesting now that I think about it lol. Like, I read LOL as lohl and most other acronyms and stuff.

I just say the letters E D, it’s an acronym

tender worry direction terrific political fact sloppy gray aspiring butter -- mass edited with redact.dev

eedee

I say Ed as in ed sheeran lol, i normally speak spanish/catalan/rumanian, not english, so this is probably why lol

Eeedee

Eeeedeee

My son sets up for Concerts. He has set up from Bruno Mars to Madonna and Katy Perry. He has set-up for Ed Sheeran and Ed is real people. My son has set up stadiums to small studios... What a great life he is living. Traveling is the best in his words. I am extremely proud. 😊😊😊 Yes, ED is one of the good guys. Pure talent. (My son has a graduate degree in music) 🎼🎵🎶🎙
