stop tw & cw food - a thread by someone who has an ed /srs

disclaimer pt 1)

ik that it can be different for everybody & ive never met someone who genuinely needs the warning but if they do need it do it

disclaimer pt 2)

im doing this because ive seen lost of ppl say to tw/cw food for ppl w eds lmao so im giving u my view as someone who has an ed as well as opinions ive recieved from friends who have eds & edtwt

first of all , if u r going to tag food than just do "// food" or "c // food" (c for content) as u r just saying that the content posted contains food . the "w" (warning) in both tw & cw is saying that food needs a warning which can turn it into something negative .

aka food = bad . which doesn't rly help ppl w eds.... it gives us an excuse to avoid food more & has negative implications which doesn't exactly help some of us to re establish a healthy relationship w food.

second, i promise u ppl w ed's are not scared of or triggered by food . a lot of us think abt food ALL the time and it's still something we see everyday . in the kitchen , on other social media , outside , in stores , etc... i rly don't think that putting a warning on an app

that ppl only use a few hrs a day will protect them from the rest of the world & other sites/apps :/ also , ppl on edtwt don't t/cw food either .... so it's a bit pointless anyways if ur doing it for ppl w eds

third. i heavily emphasize
STOP PUTTING T/CWS ON TWEETS ESPECIALLY IF IT'S JUST U TALKING ABT A CERTAIN FOOD OR USING FOOD EMOJIS istfg i will lose my damn mind if i see another

"cw // food

lol i had tacos "

i promise u , u rly dont have to

it's so fucking annoying i will actually go insane if i see another person do that shit

in conclusion : stop t/cw food "for ppl w ed's" because most of us genuinely dgaf , have never asked yall to , & it can just continue to make us associate negative things w food .

also idk who has to hear this but having an ed isn't a quirky little diet that u can just start . it's an actual mental disorder

AND LEAVE EDTWT ALONE that is their safe space where they can find other ppl they relate to & vent abt their ed freely . if u come across their tweets & dont want to see them , BLOCK but don't report i begggg don't take away their safe space .

hi ok to answer some questions , it'd be nice if u "// food" on mainly things like pictures/vids.
for those that actually need the tag , pls just use "c // food" or "// food" . i understand that this is ur safe space but it is for many others & seeing the "w" after t/c is not ++

making it safe for us too :/
to the ppl saying edtwt is "toxic", a lot of us on there r not . we have never promoted our ed's , we rly don't want our ed's , we don't want other ppl to have ed's & we encourage recovery ALL the time . telling us to get help or reporting us is ++

not helpful in any way . not all of us can get help at that moment & some of us can be scared to ask for help . just like anywhere on this damn app , the diff twt "communities" have their bad side so yeah some of edtwt is toxic but not all of us are
