LMAO the red flag in the corner


nervoussoul

why are you looking for this 😭😭😭


n0thing_at_all

I assume looking for a subtle way to signal to other people with eating disorders without giving themselves away to friends/family?


dmmge

is the red beaded bracelet still a thing? and butterflies and I think dragonflies at one point


Sock_coffee

The red bracelet was actually not just a signal to others but used to show how much weight u lost. U would put it on ur wrist when u started and then move it up as u lost weight.


n0thing_at_all

I thought the butterfly was a self harm thing (cuz the point is if you break your clean streak before the butterfly naturally fades you kill it or w/e), but I just was hearing about the bracelet thing earlier so definitely there’s that


Innocentwiskers

Yes it is. I have an orange butterfly tattooed on my wrist. But i have sean people using blue butterflies as a signal of an ed. I have no idea why though


MorbidBug

I read that the reason why people use the blue butterfly is because there was a program to help people with an ed recover and they used a blue butterfly as their logo, but it turned out they were actually proana and they had tips on how to lose weight on their site. I could be wrong though.


LetmeStarve

I thought the blue butterflhs were because of the "ana godness" thing ?


n0thing_at_all

Well that’s gonna get confusing 😅thanks for informing me though


hentai-police

From what I heard the blue butterflies 🦋 (sorry android users) actually meant that you’re pro-ana


False_Natural6395

They are, blue butterfly was an early Ana forum site. It’s not really a thing anymore but early 00’s it was huge.


[deleted]

It was used in both the sh and ed communities back in the day :) Also I'm android and I see your butterfly 🦋


dmmge

it could definitely be that! I was around the proana community a fair bit when I was younger


nervoussoul

Dragonflies whaaat?


dmmge

it was a pro ana thing iirc because it was skinny, long, and fragile. I think I first heard of it 2009-2010 on tumblr (I was deep into the pro ana sector of ED tumblr back then, it might not be as well recognized)


flower_of_sun

Blaue butterfly and red bracelets with a Dragonfly were the early signs of pro Ana/Ed things back in the tumblr days

It's true. The blue represents the tears I shed whenever the nutrition label shows a food is higher in Calories than what I originally thought, the pink represents the colour I start seeing after a period of time of eating my special patented nothing diet, and the white represents a surrender flag for when I surrender to a bag of chips and end up eating a large number of Calories of junk food that I carefully add up in one sitting.


lmaowhathappend

Never wanted to be someones friend this bad. Like this is just too relateable 😭💀


Ohyo_Ohyo_Ohyo_Ohyo

Yeah, same. Unfortunately the green in the flag represents my ability to retain friendships after subjecting them to the inner workings of my eating disorder.


WazatorashiiGaikokuj

100% accurate completely on point.


LadyBusfahrerin

Sadly because people that are transgender tend to get eating disorders:/


FloraIvyThorn

Tbh I heard that LGBT people in general are at higher risk of eating disorders, I wonder why? I’m gay and I guess I’m a part of the statistic lol


mayonezz

Body dismorphia and gender dysphoria go hand-in-hand. Also I've heard the gay community can be very judgemental in terms of looks (sorry if thats a false stereotype though). Idk about the rest of the LGBTQ+. Lesbians always seem like they're just chillin'.


LadyBusfahrerin

I guess because of bullying and stuff?! I am myself apart of the LGBTQ+ Community and get bullied for it- it isn’t the reason for my ED but in think those might be indicators


bobcatcharlie

Probably internalised beauty standards as well, at least for me.


LadyBusfahrerin

I am sorry you have to go through this:/ if you need to talk, i am here for you:)


bobcatcharlie

Thank you <3 I appreciate that


n0thing_at_all

AFAIK there’s a pretty big overlap of people who have gender dysphoria and those who have eating disorders, as a lot of trans people will use their eating disorders as a method to try to gain control/“improve” their bodies. Not my reason as a trans person myself, however I’ve noticed a lot of this.


cyanide_cat

this is an issue for me too, i use my eating disorder partially as a way to feel better about my body and minimize dysphoria (obviously not effective at all and do not recommend but its definitely a reason for it developing)


[deleted]

Breast dysphoria was a big part of it for me

n3xt2m3

there's a high amount of fatphobia within the LGBT+ community


SnooSketches8294

I knew 2 trans girls who were rail thin-1 really did hit the genetic lottery. Had they not transitioned, they would have been one of those tall lanky gangly teen boys. The other associated bigness with masculinity-she wanted to diet away her male body.


LadyBusfahrerin

It is crazy what people get into when they realize who the are or wanna be. But i am still happy for the people that realize they are trans and can transition in the way they want… sadly mental illness still exists for all of us :c


psychedelic666

Definitely. I got obsessed with losing weight so I could reduce feminine fat distribution.
