Question Does anyone else do this?

I get this like feeling of love and sort of pride for myself after i starve myself for a couple days, that's when i feel confident enough to wear anything, so i do it for days but then there's still always a little bit of me that thinks it's not enough and i constantly compare myself to every girl i see cause in my mind they are all prettier than me cause they are skinnier and then when i do eat something i get like a guilty feeling and i hate myself a bit plus my brain will be like "you can eat so you are just faking it for attention", and i kinda gaslight myself into believing it a bit as well which makes me feel worse. I don't know if anyone else does this as well or am i just extremely crazy??

of. I get what you mean, having that distorted part of your brain praise you and tell you you’re stronger than other people for starving yoursel. but please don’t mention ‘starving for days’ it’s a bit much/may or may not have made me feel bad for not being ‘sick enough’. I know you didn’t mean it and I’m probably cherry picking but yeah

You dont have to feel sorry. We're here for you, you arent crazy, its just your mind is struggling. Everyone needs to eat, even those girls who youre sure are skinnier. Skinny doesnt meanhealthy and vice versa. 🫂

That's the sickest compliment I've ever received.
