Well, my point in that is a lot of people think that that have meet all the criteria.
voice-verified
disordered eating would be like the the step before you have a full blown eating disorder, but eating disorder criteria
voice-verified
to be diagnosed with eating disorder has expanded in a lot of people who think that I just am struggling in this, like I'm just dabbling in the disordered eating.
voice-verified
if I open the DSM with them and I say, okay, da da da da, they meet all the criteria really easily.
voice-verified
So I just say that to say that that's something so s so common that we hear that like, well it's not that it's not bad enough.
voice-verified
And I sometimes it comes from a place of denial and sometimes I comes from a place of
voice-verified
embarrassment or shame or guilt for like thinking I have a problem when other people have it worse.
voice-verified
So I I don't know what her situation is.
voice-verified
I just want to put that out there that I hear very commonly that this isn't that bad and then I actually hear what they're doing and I'm like, oh this is
voice-verified
not great and eating disorders are progressive diseases, they only get worse and worse and worse.
voice-verified
So if you're 47 and you still have all of these, you don't ever get help by 60, by 65, we don't know what's gonna happen if you never work on any of these behaviors.
voice-verified
And that's something that is really scary for me as a professional.
voice-verified
Like the the longer this goes, it doesn't just go away usually.
voice-verified
Um, but the other thought I had as I was listening to her email is I hear that that comparative suffering that okay, other people have it worse, so I feel a little bad bringing this up or I feel silly or I feel whatever.
voice-verified
And
voice-verified
we sometimes think that there's like empathy pies in the world where
voice-verified
if there is a pie of empathy, you know, like time.
voice-verified
Time is a pie.
voice-verified
There's only almost only so much time.
voice-verified
We have to divide it up and then there's no more.
