RE: The Unfortunate Case of Eugenia Cooney

in #anorexia7 years ago

Yeah, just to make clear.

Whether or not she has anorexia is neither here nor there. This post wasn't really about that. I said I have a strong suspicion that she does due to the way her face looks; there's a very specific bloat that happens when you continuously vomit on a regular basis. My eyes just picked up on it pretty quickly when watching her videos, especially when comparing her face to the rest of her frame.

I can't say for sure, and it's not my place to judge - though I wouldn't even if it was.

As far as minding one's own business goes. Yes. And no. It's a tough one. Watching idly by as someone is committing suicide? Seems wrong.

But at the same time, the overwhelming attention that people pay to someone like this - Eugenia in this instance - is also harmful, and somewhat reprehensible. She seems pretty distraught in some of the videos where she addresses the talk about whether or not she has anorexia. Yeah, she puts herself in that position, but it still makes you feel bad.

Something like an eating disorder is hard for an outsider to deal with using logic because the disorder itself doesn't come from a place of logic.

And yes, like you said, thin shaming is very common and no one cares about it.

Whatever the case may be, I hope she's gonna be okay because she seems sweet.

Sort:  

I hear you my main thing was pointing out you mentioned her teeth looked okay. I'm just saying that anorexia and bulimia are TWO different disorders. She may not be self inducing vomiting.

Also kicking her off youtube when she's primarily blogging about makeup just because she seems anorexic and suicidal is WRONG it could be the thing that pushes her over the edge to actual suicide or self harm.
