I personally think it’s all about appearance for an eating disorder and how you present yourself. If you act like an attention seeker people aren’t going to take you seriously. This girl I knew was constantly trying to get help and posting weird stuff all over Facebook but the hospitals kept refusing her treatment because she didn’t look like she had one and they thought she just wanted attention. I’ve been drastically losing weight and my therapist has been freaking out and I’m also refusing treatment and hiding it very well from family so there’s a difference between someone’s who’s legit and someone’s who not.
