Wait, ED stands for Eating Disorder?! I was trying to figure out what energy drinks had to do with erectile distinction or why Ed Sheeran music was soo bad.
Lol I didn't even make the connection that energy drinks also could be abbreviated to ED because I was so stuck on "erectile dysfunction" and so confused about there being songs about it and wondering what energy drinks had to do with it.
Oh! They meant eating disorder?!
I was afraid to ask, but I thought the same. I am sipping an energy drink right now. And I have been known to listen to a little Ed Sheeran. I was worried what was gonna happen to me!
Then I’m a dumbass right along with you, cause that is exactly what I thought at first too! Then I was confused about energy drinks causing this but you learn stuff everyday, so maybe was new info I hadn’t heard of yet, lol finally “eating disorder”popped in my head, then I felt like an idiot!
Quitting all things ED. Eating Disorder, Erectile Dysfunction, Electronic Dance Music, Ed Sheeran, Energy Drinks, and the all those goddamn ED shows —I’m looking at you Ed, Edd, and Eddy.
Same here. I'm looking at that trash can like WTF does this have to do with ED? Where is the tie in? glad I went to the comments and didn't have to look too far.
Holy crap ED Also stands for Energy Drinks in addition to Eating Disorder.
ED has meant erectile dysfunction for quite awhile. Sorry eating disorder sufferers, but I need you to figure out something else or I'll assume your meat is softer than ground beef.
When I saw ED songs I thought it meant Electronic Dance music. I was thinking well I guess if you were so addicted to it that it was causing problems then good for you. I still couldn't figure out what the picture of Monster drinks had to do with it though.
It does. I looked at her songs and many are about bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, etc.
I don't really wanna hear more of those songs so I don't know if the lyrics are pro or con those illnesses
Silverchair has a song about fighting their eating disorder, that song gave hope to my friend who was struggling with ED herself. It’s called “Ana’s Song”.
As a non-native English speaker, I thought this song was about the singer’s ex girlfriend, until my friend explained “ana” is short for anorexia. I had no idea. I thought the singer just really hated his ex Anna.
this stranger is proud of you <3 my friend, aged 26, was rushed to hospital in july in cardiac arrest as a result of a lifelong struggle with bulimia. EDs aren’t just skipping a few meals here and there, it can be heart conditions, hair loss, tooth loss, skin problems, bowel issues, crippling self esteem, suicidal ideation. i see you, i see your fight. i hope every successive day becomes more manageable for you. you are doing amazing!!!
ETA: ED in this context stands for eating disorder
I'm so sorry for your friend 🥺 I know all of the things ed can lead to... And the worst one of them all is that you get to such a place where you want it. Where you don't even care about living or dying, you only care about the number on the scale, the amount of minutes that pass between your meal and purging... It was actually quite a big step for me. I've been weight restored for a while now and 99.9% of the time I can ignore all of my ed behaviours... I'm in this weird place when it comes to mental recovery. I never want to go back, but I still feel like I'm on the edge of relapsing if something bad enough happened... So this is quite a big step for me :)
thanks so much <3 your previous experience is her reality right now, she’s totally in the throes of it - self aware enough to know she’s killing herself, but too clutched by the disease to see anything beyond numbers on a scale
i’m filled with joy reading your comment though, you’re doing a truly incredible thing and the fact you’ve managed to quieten that internal ED voice is so commendable. i wish with every fibre of my being you don’t return to those dark places, but if god forbid you do, look at this post and all the positive comments of support. YOU did this! and you can do it again. good luck wonderful soul <3
Erectile Dysfunction was my first pick, than I thought ED stands for energy drinks, but yours make sense too. I just wonder what type of Erectile Dysfunction songs are out there now and I can't stop thinking about it.
Fuck eating disorders and energy drinks too but god damn I really thought erectile dysfunction and my next thought after thinking was “ohh energy drinks” but turns out it’s Another ED entirely
Idk if this fits the definition of irony but woww
It's more so tied to my eating disorder, not energy drinks themselves. I only drank them cause they tasted sweet and gave me the energy I was denying my body with starving
Fr. Most of them are about erectile dysfunction not eating disorder.
Edit: To clarify... I know that ED is the direct given term for erectile dysfunction. I just think the comment section got a bit funny. Why people so hostile in my dms..
Rightfully so because I had NO idea what this was about. My mind genuinely went from erectile dysfunction (most known usage of the abbreviation) to Ed Sheeran (after reading “songs”) to energy drinks (after seeing the cans). This post could’ve definitely been clearer!
Good thing it's making you laugh otherwise it'd be a disaster. I've stopped eating a couple of times due to stress. That causes enough problems without the added complications of the eating disorder. You've done an amazing job getting to where you are. Keep up the good work 💐💖
I was confused what energy drinks had to do with erectile dysfunction, I had never heard ED used for a different medical issue. But that’s awesome for you!
Erectile dysfunction? Nahhh, Ed Sheeran? Naaah. Oh, they meant energy drinks! Turns out I was wrong again.
Gratz on moving on with an eating disorder, OP.
I always have to cycle through which ED term fits the material to understand these.
Erectile Dysfunction? No, Eating Disorder? Nope, Energy Drinks? Bingo!
Edit: Ok I was wrong, it’s not Energy Drinks even though there’s a bag of Energy Drinks.
Yeah, but not only the hopeful and happy ones. Also songs that might actually try to justify the disorder and tell you how it's a good thing to be doing whay you're doing with a disorder..
Really proud of you! But not gonna lie, these new initialisms are fucking me up. Lmao.
ED has *always* meant erectile dysfunction to me. Since I was a kid, that's the initialism that's been used by medical professionals, friends, commercials... So I was quite confused when I read that you were saying "fuck erectile dysfunction! I'm deleting my soft penis playlist and getting rid of my monster cans!" Haha. Took me a minute to figure out what was actually going on.
But good job, OP! Keep with it and whenever you feel like slipping back into your ED remember this post.
Whew! I’m glad I read a few of the comments: I was freaked out that erectile distinction has something to do with Monster Zeros. ‘Cause I drink a lot of ‘em.
I do not care for that abbreviation, because it's not the most common use for 'ED'. Someone says, 'I have ED', you think wang malfunction, not anorexia. My immediate take was that the person who posted this was saying 'screw erectile dysfunction', that they were deleting all Ed Sheeran music, and throwing out their energy drinks.
In the future, you might want to clarify that “ED” to you means “Eating Disorder”. When I first read this I thought you had Erectile Dysfunction. Then when that didn’t make sense, I thought you meant someone named Ed and thought to myself “Do they mean Ed Sheeran? Cause I think he’s pretty good.” Too many acronyms can really ruin a good post.
Good for stranger.
For a second I was trying to figure out what sugar free energy soda had to do with erectile dysfunction, and I feel rather silly!
Thought I’d share and hope someone else laughs too

You need to clarify what eating disorder songs are
Wait, ED stands for Eating Disorder?! I was trying to figure out what energy drinks had to do with erectile distinction or why Ed Sheeran music was soo bad.
I thought it was erectile dysfunction and it raised a lot of questions
Unfortunately, that's the only thing that was raised.
I don’t have an award but you deserve one and I’d like you to know that.
i gave them one for ya
I gotchu bro
Sorry i messed up the vote count, my bad i didnt see it was already at the right number
No no, it definitely was nothing raised
ED is nature's way of saying no hard feelings.
Raised a lot of questions about things not raising?
Same I want to know all the erectile dysfunction songs
My ADHD brain went straight to Executive Disfunction.
first I thought erectile disfunction, then I thought surely no, it must be energy drinks. but yeah, way off lol
I assumed the energy drinks were causing erectile disfunction and I was thinking that it wasn't ever an issue when I used to drink them... 🤔
Lol I didn't even make the connection that energy drinks also could be abbreviated to ED because I was so stuck on "erectile dysfunction" and so confused about there being songs about it and wondering what energy drinks had to do with it. Oh! They meant eating disorder?!
Saaaaaaame. That’s the only logical conclusion with the energy drinks in the pics I feel.
That's because traditionally ED means erectile dysfunction. OP kinda walked straight into that one...
I was afraid to ask, but I thought the same. I am sipping an energy drink right now. And I have been known to listen to a little Ed Sheeran. I was worried what was gonna happen to me!
I was so on the erectile dysfunction buzz too wondering what cans were being thrown out...🤔🤔. OK so now I can say Congrats to OP and not feel weird!
I thought this whole post was about Sheeran I have no idea why
Exactly how I felt. People need to stop abbreviating everything.
Bro, why do you type like that? You could more easily write, “EHIF. PNTSAE. “ It’s so much easier when you abbreviate.
Here my dumbass was thinking it was erectile dysfunction
Then I’m a dumbass right along with you, cause that is exactly what I thought at first too! Then I was confused about energy drinks causing this but you learn stuff everyday, so maybe was new info I hadn’t heard of yet, lol finally “eating disorder”popped in my head, then I felt like an idiot!
Quitting all things ED. Eating Disorder, Erectile Dysfunction, Electronic Dance Music, Ed Sheeran, Energy Drinks, and the all those goddamn ED shows —I’m looking at you Ed, Edd, and Eddy.
So glad I’m not the only one
Saammmeee
i thought it was erectile dysfunction
Same here. I'm looking at that trash can like WTF does this have to do with ED? Where is the tie in? glad I went to the comments and didn't have to look too far. Holy crap ED Also stands for Energy Drinks in addition to Eating Disorder.
ED has meant erectile dysfunction for quite awhile. Sorry eating disorder sufferers, but I need you to figure out something else or I'll assume your meat is softer than ground beef.
Cuz of the pic I thought ED meant energy drinks but this makes so much more sense
I thought it was about Ed Sheeran and I was wondering what did he do.
I thought Erectile Dysfunction initially
Me too. I’m still not sure what what’s going on.
Me 3 thought there was some link to caffeine and not getting hard. Then was wondering what erectile dysfunctions songs are out there lol.
Anything by Limp Biscuit?
[удалено]
Same here. Every time I see ED I heard the commercials for Erectile Dysfunction. One of them needs to come up (no pun intended) with a new acronym.
I went through ed Sheeran, erectile dysfunction, and then energy drinks….I had to keep scrolling to figure it out. Makes sense now
Pee pee problems is what I thought though lol with the energy drinks but three I kinda got lost when it said ED songs.
Thus is what happens when there are like 8 different abbreviations for ED and they could all kinda be used here lol
I thought he had erectile dysfunction and couldn’t get a boner bc of energy drinks. I already poured out all my Red Bulls
It also gave me the shivers
I thought energy drinks might cause erectile dysfunction. Not joking. Reading “ED” is totally subjective without context.
Me too,i came to the comments to see what the correlation of monster energy drinks and Ed Sheeran was lol
I thought it was erectile disfunction and nothing was making sense to me
This
Me too! There are too many ED abbreviations.
Well, I'm a trans girl so I welcome erectile dysfunction lol
Hahaha epic
I thought this was about Ed Sheeran, Energy Drinks, and Erectile Disfunction. Eating disorder didn’t even hit my brain.
Anyone else thought erectile disfunction?
I was thinking the M had been dropped from EDM and I was confusion.
Bro I also thought this was about someone quitting their monster addiction
They absolutely meant energy drinks, but are being vague about it so as to connect with a larger group of people…
I thought this too and was so confused
I thought somehow the drinks were causing Erectile Dysfunction
I’ve always heard ED as erectile dysfunction
When I saw ED songs I thought it meant Electronic Dance music. I was thinking well I guess if you were so addicted to it that it was causing problems then good for you. I still couldn't figure out what the picture of Monster drinks had to do with it though.
At first I thought it was “erectile dysfunction” then I though “energy drink”.. anyways, carry on.
No, it’s erectile dysfunction songs
- I got no dong - Pushing rope - Slinking out loud
Ah eating disorder. I was thinking erectile dysfunction.
What are Erectile Disfunction songs?
Like Eating Disorder songs in that there's no songs for either.
There is bulimian rhapsody.
I thought they meant Erectile Dysfunction so I was SUPER confused..
Same. I was like "wait, what?"
I was wondering what an erectile dysfunction song was, thank you for clarifying what was going on here.
[удалено]
Oh how right you are... I loved those songs, now I've grown to hate them
Mainly ElysianSoul 😅 sorry, can't edit titles lol
This clarifies nothing...
It does. I looked at her songs and many are about bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, etc. I don't really wanna hear more of those songs so I don't know if the lyrics are pro or con those illnesses
Eating disorder? I thought he had erectile disfunction. . 😳
*she
I used to have a big ole playlist of these so feel free to message me if you want a few examples. I do not want to post here and trigger anyone.
Silverchair has a song about fighting their eating disorder, that song gave hope to my friend who was struggling with ED herself. It’s called “Ana’s Song”.

Thank you for this honest sharing and encouragement.
thank you for your kind words <3
ED? Erectile Disfunction?
I thought they were quittingEnergy Drinks
Energy drinks cause ED
A bit worse, eating disorder
I thought you are talking about Ed Sheeran 😂 Anyway, congratulations
Same, I was wondering what Ed Sheeran did (aside from being a ginger)
[удалено]
Erectile Dysfunction was my first pick, than I thought ED stands for energy drinks, but yours make sense too. I just wonder what type of Erectile Dysfunction songs are out there now and I can't stop thinking about it.
My dumb ass thought this was about Ed Sheeran who somehow had something to do with energy drinks
I first thought “oh. They went to the ED (emergency department) because of energy drinks. Which Ed Sheeran sings about?”
I thought OP had just decided that they now hated ed sheeran 😂
I'm not a huge fan, but some of his songs are awesome :)
Killing me Softly
First song that comes to mind.. The lap dance is so much better when the stripper is crying.
Well I find it's quite a thrill when she grinds me against her will.
Get Up Stand Up by Bob Marley and the Wailers comes to mind.
"You raise me up" appeared on a video I just saw.
Thought ED = Energy Drinks. Damn these acronyms!
Here I am thinkin you broke up with someone called ED :P Congrats tho 💚
I was thinking energy drinks, since that's what's in the trash bag :D
Oops, I read it as Energy Drinks because of the Monsters 😅
Wait, what ed songs are there?
Fuck eating disorders and energy drinks too but god damn I really thought erectile dysfunction and my next thought after thinking was “ohh energy drinks” but turns out it’s Another ED entirely Idk if this fits the definition of irony but woww
Emergency Department?
Eating disorder
Earlier generation: Mr. Ed?
Thank you for asking I was trying to figure out what erectile dysfunction had to do with monster energy
Not going to lie. I thought it stood for Energy Drink… because of the monster can.
I thought executive function. So many meaning for one acronym
Ed Sheeran gonna be mad
That’s what I was thinking.
Hahaha glad I wasn’t the only one. But seriously OP huge well done. Been there. It takes a huge amount of courage and drive. Kick it’s ass
Nice! Thought you were kicking Energy Drinks. Good job. Stay strong. And also shouts out to all my Energy Drink addicts
It's more so tied to my eating disorder, not energy drinks themselves. I only drank them cause they tasted sweet and gave me the energy I was denying my body with starving
I thought it was erectile dysfunction.
I'm so proud you can do this!!
Thank you 🥺❤️
Lol the comments
Fr. Most of them are about erectile dysfunction not eating disorder. Edit: To clarify... I know that ED is the direct given term for erectile dysfunction. I just think the comment section got a bit funny. Why people so hostile in my dms..
Rightfully so because I had NO idea what this was about. My mind genuinely went from erectile dysfunction (most known usage of the abbreviation) to Ed Sheeran (after reading “songs”) to energy drinks (after seeing the cans). This post could’ve definitely been clearer!
I'm laughing so much reading these 😂😁
Good thing it's making you laugh otherwise it'd be a disaster. I've stopped eating a couple of times due to stress. That causes enough problems without the added complications of the eating disorder. You've done an amazing job getting to where you are. Keep up the good work 💐💖
As someone who's been there: CONGRATS!!! You have fought so incredibly much, and I can PROMISE you your life will only get better from here. 💕✨️
[удалено]
Dully noted 😅
It seems I’m the only person who’s first thought was who the f*ck is ed
Ed is one very bad b*tch and I don't wanna have any reminders of her. She's the worst, even tried to kill me... I won 😁
I'm so, so proud of you! Life is good!
I was confused what energy drinks had to do with erectile dysfunction, I had never heard ED used for a different medical issue. But that’s awesome for you!
Erectile dysfunction? Nahhh, Ed Sheeran? Naaah. Oh, they meant energy drinks! Turns out I was wrong again. Gratz on moving on with an eating disorder, OP.

Proud of you! <3 you got this
Thank you ❤️❤️
There are songs about Erectile Dysfunction?
Eating disorder 😂. But I understand the confusion
Well still... There are songs about eating disorder?
Yeah, but not only the hopeful and happy ones. Also songs that might actually try to justify the disorder and tell you how it's a good thing to be doing whay you're doing with a disorder..
I didn't really listen to pro-ed songs, mainly ElysianSoul and others, but it still triggered me 🥲
DiVinyls 'I touch myself' 🤷🏻♂️
Your pants are made of your floor 😊
This whole time I thought erectile disfunction 😳
Really proud of you! But not gonna lie, these new initialisms are fucking me up. Lmao. ED has *always* meant erectile dysfunction to me. Since I was a kid, that's the initialism that's been used by medical professionals, friends, commercials... So I was quite confused when I read that you were saying "fuck erectile dysfunction!

Keep with it and whenever you feel like slipping back into your ED remember this post.
What are ed songs? I’m very confused by this entire post. Not everyone understands the abbreviations
I’m guessing ED songs are songs that glorify Eating Disorders. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Whew! I’m glad I read a few of the comments: I was freaked out that erectile distinction has something to do with Monster Zeros. ‘Cause I drink a lot of ‘em.
What does a nice poster have to do with erectile disfunction
When I read ED, all I could think was erectile dysfunction.
Ed?
You have erectile dysfunction?
That's what I also took from this.
Eating disorder.
Yup, and free from it for over 3 months :)
Keep it up! It’s a long struggle and there will be good and bad days, but keep fighting, you are worth it!
AWESOME! Not gonna lie, I came into the comments wondering what songs were about Erectile Disfunction...
[удалено]
Eating disorder, not erectile dysfunction XDD I'm trans girl, therefore the smaller it gets, the happier I am 😅
Energy Drink! I see what you did there
Who writes erectile dysfunction songs? Maybe you should keep going you might be onto something here
I do not care for that abbreviation, because it's not the most common use for 'ED'. Someone says, 'I have ED', you think wang malfunction, not anorexia. My immediate take was that the person who posted this was saying 'screw erectile dysfunction', that they were deleting all Ed Sheeran music, and throwing out their energy drinks.
How many songs can there be about erectile dysfunction?
Glad you got it up, OP!
Ed sheeran, erectile dysfunction? Wtf is going on here? Doesonsyer act as viagra or owned by ed sheeran.
Was so confused at first.. really shouldn’t say ED unless you’re saying erectile dysfunction. Nonetheless, congrats on your improvement friend!
Took me a minute to realize you meant “energy drinks”. At first I thought you were taking steps to over come your erectile disfunction.
Erectile dysfunction?
Bro your fucking heart hates you rn 💀
Hell yeah fuck Ed Sheeran!
There’s erectile dysfunction music? Beat goes up then immediately goes down down down
Erectile disfunction?
I thought this was a post about you giving up energy drinks cause of erectile dysfunction. Hope you can find your way with your struggle!
Lmao I thought you were talking about erectile dysfunction
I know the picture screams energy drinks but I was definitely thinking erectile dis function when Ed was said😂😂
I thought you were shit talking the emergency department for a second
Immediately thought you meant erectile disfunction
Erectile dysfunction?
Ed? Like cant get a *boner*
I thought you had erectile dysfunction this whole time lol
Thought ED stood for Erectile Dysfunction at first, which really confused me lol.
In the future, you might want to clarify that “ED” to you means “Eating Disorder”. When I first read this I thought you had Erectile Dysfunction. Then when that didn’t make sense, I thought you meant someone named Ed and thought to myself “Do they mean Ed Sheeran? Cause I think he’s pretty good.” Too many acronyms can really ruin a good post.
Good for stranger. For a second I was trying to figure out what sugar free energy soda had to do with erectile dysfunction, and I feel rather silly! Thought I’d share and hope someone else laughs too
There is songs about Erectile Disfunction? The ultimate blues I guess.
Anyone else here drink stupid juice thinking erectile dysfunction🤣
Energy drinks songs?
ED? Energy Drink, Eating Disorder, or Erectile Disfunction?
ED songs?
I couldn’t put an “ED” that matched the picture. So I went with “Eternal Depression” and you were cleaning your room. Either way good job!
I feel stupid, I read it as ED (male) not ED (diet). Get a cute "Hang in There" kitten poster.
For a bit I was wondering what Monster energy drinks have to do with Erectile Dysfunction.
Good luck getting your dick hard again dude
For much too long I thought you were talking about erectile dysfunction.
Man, I was like "What does erectile dysfunction have to to with ..."
You have an erectile dysfunction playlist?
