Theres a lot of double standards going on in this thread lately about who can post what.

Also quite a bit of spamming and pushing other peoples posts so they are buried.
The difference is between "my kid is throwing up," (not something that resembles disordered eating, and was mentioned once) and "I ate x, y, and z and threw up b amount of times today." (which does resemble ED type stuff, and your posts here almost always contain that content. Once you talked about continuing to throw up at the same time you said you lost 6lbs, and a few times you've said something along the lines of "I threw up and feel better now," and I know I should be the one to suck it up and move on, but I just wanted to let you know that content like that can be incredibly triggering to people w/Eds. I know eating disorders and bipolar are commonly comorbid, too, so I just brought something up in case someone is bipolar, has an eating disorder, and reads that and thinks "damn that purging felt great before it ruined my health").

Like @BeyondtheRainbow said, we're all bipolar, and quite a few of us are hypomanic or manic right now. I think the frequent posting of people in a more elevated state is a good thing because their being here means they're not off ruining relationships, putting themselves in debt, impulsively grabbing the keys and nothing else planning to drive across the continent, winding up in handcuffs or ambulances, and whatever other actions members of the group tend to take during mania.

Please don't feel like I'm bashing you or judging you or anything. I really do understand and care, but right now I feel like I have to point it out that the numbers of times you vomit and everything you eat and drink is not appreciated for those that struggle or have struggled with disordered eating.

You can tell me to fcck off though. Post what you want, but don't wonder why you're not receiving support after a certain point.
