I’m back with another Therapist Reacts! This time it’s my all time favorite TV show, The Office! This episode of The Office Reacts I’m reacting to some of my favorite The Office clips through the years. From Michael Scott to Jim Halpert to Pam Beesly to Dwight Schrute, I’m showing you my favorite bloopers, scenes and characters from the show. If you’re a fan of The Office, or just a fan of funny things in general, you won’t want to miss this reaction video.
In this video, I’m talking about 8 reasons that you may be afraid to recover from your eating disorder. As a licensed therapist who specializes in eating disorders, I’ve worked with many patients who are afraid to get better. Let’s talk about the 8 common reasons someone may be afraid to get better and recover from an eating disorder. We’ll be talking about eating disorder recovery, bulimia recovery, anorexia recovery, binge eating recovery, or any type of eating disorder recovery; or fears associated with getting help for eating disorders. Let me know what other types of videos you’d like to see in the comments.

i know you’re lonely. i know it feels comforting to slip into the same old familiar loneliness. the same religiously good hurt of refusing yourself the things you need and the space to heal. i know it feels beautiful to have something to worship. i know in this cold, confusing world, having goodness be safely defined as thinness within a community with whom you can push for that ideal feels like a comfort. i know it feels safe and familiar. but if you think that this is something that you can compartmentalize and keep safe tucked in a corner of your life, you can’t; and if you think it ever ends, or that your ideal is something you will ever reach, you’re wrong. this disorder is a parasite, and it will take over every corner of your life and every minute of your time and in the end, you will not be rewarded for it. no one will like you any better, least of all yourself; no one will thank you for hurting yourself like this; the world will not turn rose-coloured, your head will not clear and your perfect life will not materialize. you will come out of the end of the tunnel and you will have lost years of your life that you can never get back, and you will realize you were worshipping a false god the whole time. you will realize you never needed to change to wake up with a smile on your lips and birds singing in the window, you never needed to change to dance in the kitchen with your significant other or feel the warmth of another’s presence and laughter. if this made you doubt yourself at all, come and take my hand. i know the grave is comfortable, but don’t let yourself sleep yet.
It’s festival season, and where I am, it’s really hot. I’ve been working out a lot and I’ve lost weight but my thighs and butt have gotten bigger with muscle, but none of last years shorts fit anymore.
I tried buying some new ones today. And although I have been in such a good place about my body, I haven’t felt this low since high school. I haven’t eaten at all today, and I know I should eat but I can’t justify it.
And they banned me without giving me an ability to answer that no, I *personally* wouldn’t say that, but it *still* doesn’t give a right for someone to rape the unwilling party.
Grow the fuck up or go to jail for promoting rape of gay people.
I would say that! Like in a heartbeat I would say that. I’m pretty sure I have said that.
So you tell people off for being fat and having an eating disorder but also willingly and on purpose trigger said eating disorder.
Yeah just fuck you
Just because for some people this blunt approach could be eye-opening doesn’t mean it’s for everyone. Specially if they have an ed and trying their best to treat it, professionals involved or not, you as an outsider aren’t one (even if you had similar experiences). Why would you purposely say that? Yeah, you don’t have to play into ones “delusions” (like some people call it) but intentionally doing that is morally questionable in my opinion. @transmedicalism-saves-lives
First off? Fat people don’t have restrictive eating disorders, they have excessive eating disorders. Anything that makes them eat less is doing a favor. Second, if they’re trying to sleep with me I have every right to inform them of the reason that ain’t gonna happen.
Yes to having that right, but saying it “in a heartbeat” sounds like not caring about them at all. As if you were doing them a favour by causing a guilty conscience. I like going by the rule if they can’t fix it within a minute keep it to yourself, especially if they are trying to fix it already. If they were pressuring you or whatever like cornering you by all means you don’t have to be nice imo. Personally I think your approach is unnecessarily provocative and will do more harm than good. People in general respond more to support and help than being that blunt.
Plus I think what they meant by “eating disorder” was anorexia/bulimia, not compulsive eating. Which is truly an assholish thing to do to someone with these disorders.
But yeah, you can reject someone without triggering dysphoria. There’s a big difference between “I’m not into trans people, sorry” and “FUCK YOU, YOU SICK DEGENERATE RAPIST, YOU’LL ALWAYS BE A HOMOPHOBIC MAN/WOMAN NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO!!!”
Whatever happened to “you don’t need to give a reason to reject someone?”
Point taken. If you do give a reason, just don’t be an asshole about it.
It’s also incredibly vile to insist that fat people only have excessive eating disorders. If you refuse to acknowledge that anorexia can (and oftentimes does) occur in fat people, you’re… literally just a piece of shit, I don’t know how else to say it.
Anorexia is literally characterized by dangerously low body weight. This is what happens when people start self-dx’ing.
honey, you’re not a doctor, and you obviously know jack shit about eating disorders. please, for the love of god, look up “atypical anorexia” and stop spouting bullshit you have no clue about?
Dude you’re straight up wrong. Fat people aren’t limited to binge eating disorders. You’re clearly aware that you’re wrong and all you’re doing is digging yourself a deeper hole. You’re wrong. Get over it.
You don’t have to be at a dangerously low weight to be anorexic. You can catch an illness before it becomes incredibly serious and treat it then. Just because an anorexic fat person is however many pounds doesn’t mean they haven’t lost a large amount of weigh in a short period of time. It doesn’t mean they won’t eventually become dangerously underweight.

All I wanna do these days is work out, walk for hours and sleep. I would be losing weight soo fast but I have to study soo freaking much and it‘s stressing me out which is holding me back from losing weight so much.
