I made this video for my Honors English class in order to show that the media is not the sole reason for eating disorders. Although the do contribute to the sheer popularity in them, their are several other factors that contribute to this disease, such as: mental illness, family environment, personality type, society’s views, etc…
I also wanted to raise awareness of other eating disorders besides Anorexia and Bulimia, however, due to a time restriction on the project, I could only include a few.
Lastly, I wanted to mention that not only do eating disorders cause death in the strict medical sense, but they destroy lives in other ways. The sufferer becomes isolated, lonely, depressed, hopless, and completely miserable. Sometimes it feels as if death is the lesser of the two evils, compared to this psuedo-life we live.
As a recovering anorexic w/ bulimic tendencies, I ask everyone with an eating disorder this: Why not try to recover? Life can’t get any worse, can it?

It makes sense. I …
It makes sense. I have all those words written in my own journal, and used it to create the picture you’re speaking of. I’m also eating-disordered, infortunately, and boy does it suck major balls.
It’s so odd and …
It’s so odd and weird because at the beginning, I think 0:12 there were a bunch of words in black and white. And it’s strange because I have a diary and I was upset one night and wrote almost all those words about myself.
Bulimic-1 year
anorexic-7 months

Michelle, this is really good. I don’t really see any of the mistakes that you’re talking about… I definitely feel more informed after watching this. I wanna know what grade you got on it, ok?

I know what's even more sad is you type into Google ana (say your looking up a word and it starts with just those three letters) you get: ana song silverchair lyrics; ana commandments.
#NowPlaying "Ana's Song" (Open Fire) by Silverchair. I love this song!!!!!
Sucks. Sucks. Sucks. I just love that word. Alot of parents do not like their kids to use that word but I allow it. SUCKS!! Mental Illness Sucks!! What sucks even more is a family member with a mental illness who has no intention of ever accepting the fact that they have a mental illness and tries to convince you that you have a mental illness. SUCKS!!!!!!!! I love to read your stuff Michelle. Sometimes I just change the names around and you are me!! Love you.
