For anorexia, yeah they can be really annoying with wanting to have all the attention and acting narcissistic, but that's it

That depends on what sub type of ana-chan she* is.

A binge/purge ana-chan, particularly one who is a minor and dependent on her family financially can waste hundreds or even thousands of dollars on food/ laxatives which she then pukes/shits out. This can wind up being a financial strain on the family's budget. Add to that the psycholgical pressure of "well she's eating, I can't not buy her food. Maybe this time she won't purge..." to the mix and its an awful environment to live in for everyone.

Siblings, if present, get set aside and are often left to emotionally care for themselves so the parents can focus their time and attention on the endless crisis that is Daughter Anorexia. It fucks up the mental health of the other kids in the family.

Ana-chans often have other comorbid behavioral issues like shop lifting, chronic lying, and constant emotional manipulation that are a major drain on the family as well.

Living with an ana-chan is absolutely a Hell in its own right that can be hard for those outside of the family to recognize and sympathize with.

*Manorexia is less common and I will not be addressing that here as I feel mana-chans should be a different discussion.

Decades ago they tried forced feeding as a way to try and save anorexics but it didn’t work, it’s merely a short term band-aid and seemed to make things worse overall. Most of the anorexics doubled down on their ED behaviors after weeks of forced feeds. In the USA it’s nearly impossible to force an anorexic into treatment if they don’t want it.

And here I am, slaving away, doing everything in my power outside of putting a gun in your face to get delicious cow and chicken into your mouths, and you all call me a greedy soulless corporation, that I'm tempting your children into obesity with harmful food. Would it have killed her to have a fucking Big Mac every now and then?!

What an awful way to live and die.

I used to wait tables and once had a boomer couple with their young adult daughter. She might have been early to mid twenties. When I took their orders the dad said "Tell my daughter she's too skinny and that she should eat more." I just gave him the "I can't believe you just said that look," said "Ooooooookay" and moved on. Even in that brief moment it was clear from the mother and daughter's reactions this was a contentious issue and although I was put on the spot I knew if she had an eating disorder anything I said could be misinterpreted so I just tried my best to sidestep. I didn't notice that she was particularly skinny but I didn't get a good look at her figure, though she was very pretty.

Anyway it's incredibly sad that shit like that happens. RIP lady.

Have you ever noticed how many people say butterflies fly in rooms after somebody has died, and from then after when they see a butterfly it’s the dead person saying hi?

I have never had a butterfly enter my house unless my cat killed it and dragged it in. Is this some shared delusion?

Anyway, my real question is after cremation how many ounces was there?

One of my friends from church died a few years ago. He was the most Irish person in the whole world. The week of his death, I went out on a walk and came back to my Alexa connected thermostat reading an ebook I had bought the previous year about folk tales. The exact story it was on was an Irish story story about a man going into Heaven.

I prayed for this woman. Reading that announcement reminded me that many of these cows are real people, many very broken people. I hope the Lord has mercy on her and that she is truly in paradise with Jesus with a restored mind and body. RIP

I'm shocked that anorexic women still exist. I thought that they (along with goths) had been totally replaced by trannyism in the 2010s. What form of grotesque self-harm will become popular next?

f there are butterflies, they're there for the corpse. A lot of people don't know this, but certain species of butterflies will feed on corpses for whatever salt is left on their bodies, as well as other nutrients. Some even like shit. They like blood, too.

Call me sick, but there's a sort of tragic beauty to all that. Maybe it's the juxtaposition. Arguably the prettiest insects in the world, flock to a rotting corpse and display their many bright colors on it.
