As someone with an ED, I don't know if I would feel comfortable being with a bunch of "normal/healthy" people at an event that involved food.
Well, that's not totally correct, I (personally) am okay with it, but if my ED was really bad I can imagine that being around people eating and feeling like I had to eat would be very anxiety provoking.
I guess I still get that a little because I hate when I feel like I have to eat.
I'm not really sure what i find helpful from others. Not many people know about my ED so I guess they don't act differently towards me.
What I do NOT find helpful (from everyone), are the comments about what I'm eating
or, the one that's really bad is, "you're eating that!!!," if I choose to have something I don't usually eat, like dessert.
Then I feel like I shouldn't be eating it and that I'm only supposed to be eating lettuce.
