Look to the day: Things that EDNOS is: Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified →
Things that EDNOS are not:
- Eating Disorder Not Worth Diagnosis
- Not A Real Eating Disorder
- Failed Anorexic
- Eating Disorder Not Worth Treatment
- No Longer A Proper Eating Disorder
- Never Was A Proper Eating Disorder
- No Longer Worthy Of Help
- Never Was Worth Of Help
If you have EDNOS, by definition you are suffering from an Eating Disorder. And you are no less worthy of treatment than any other disease with any other criteria. Your weight does not necessarily reflect what is going on in your head, which is the bit that needs fixing. Please, please, please can we make an effort to dispel this myth that you have to be BMI <18.5 to be taken seriously. Because I cannot name a single person in this recovery community who will not take you seriously if you are suffering. And you are.
This.
