hey girl, im not looking to befriend your personal journal but i really desire access to that Fragile community. my journal is not an ed journal because i am very private about this considering everyone thinks i'm "cured" and i feel too old to admit a very adolescent problem (i am 22). i want to join specifically for a collection of photos depicting the thinnest of the (pretty) thin. could you grant me access? i'm not looking to cause trouble or harass anyone, i just love fashion and i need constant jumps to instigate my behaviour. the regular model communities don't work as well. -ad
it's perfectly understandable to not want to go the whole ed journal route. that's not a requirement for joining the community, i just like to know that everyone who joins has a pre-existing eating disorder because i would hate to feel like i'm enabling or assisting anybody in developing one. if you send a membership request it'll be approved.
and you shouldn't feel bad about your age. body image and self-esteem are issues people deal with for their whole lives. i'm 21 and my eating disorder didn't really begin in earnest until i was 19. i know sometimes it can feel like you should be old enough to know better, but honestly, what 22 year old has themselves completely figured out?
awww you're awesome!! i guess i just associate MY body issues / deprivation / "imbalance" with a younger self, because i've been on various 'diets' since i was 12, with my lowest weight culminating at 17. so i don't know. in the past few years I've never really subscribed to a full-fledged eating disorder - it's like a full time job isn't it?- but it comes back in waves and my weight is constantly fluctuating. anyway i'm sorry for talking about myself so much! i'm gonna re-apply now; have a good day!
i tend not to accept people who seem overly obsessed with mary-kate or who belong to certain communities (like __stfu_yourefat) that are destructive rather than supportive. and i don't accept people who have visible stats and are already underweight, but that one doesn't apply to you. basically anyone who strikes me as not having the right attitude toward their eating disorder is denied. it's harsh, but i just don't want it on my conscience that i'm aiding people who don't take their eds seriously enough. and besides, there's no shortage of thinspiration communities for those people to join.
that being said, if you want to reapply you'll be accepted.

maybe you should consider joining a non-ed themed fashion community.
