Why you need to talk about eating disorders // Observer
When I was in my second year of college, I developed a serious eating disorder and relentlessly pursued the “health” of eating and exercising, relieving my feelings of being inadequate and unworthy of love and success. My life revolved around eating and exercising, feeling pain alone in the pain of myself, and becoming more and more passionate about what I had to offer to my future and the world.
Unfortunately, my struggle is not unique, especially on college campuses. According to a 2006 survey conducted by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Almost 20% College students have shown that they previously had or had an eating disorder. Another studyConducted in 2011, we found that eating disorders affect 25% of men and 32.6% of women on university campuses. These statistics alone are surprising, but in recent years the incidence of eating disorders can be even higher.
There is more than one cause for the development of eating disorders, but it is due to a complete storm of biological, psychological and social factors. Importantly, eating disorders (and mental illnesses in general) thrive in isolation and uncertain times. Thus, the COVID-19 pandemic provided an ideal situation for the onset and exacerbation of eating disorders.
Eating disorders are always important to discuss, but at this point it is especially important to discuss them. Returning to school may be good in some respects for students to reunite with friends and find goals in class and extracurricular activities, but limited to eating options and interacting with others. Many of the space changes impede the recovery of eating disorders and even contribute to the development or maintenance of eating disorders.
The cafeteria is difficult to navigate, even for those who are not struggling to eat. The options are limited and the divided “meals” are incredibly small. This is not ideal for everyone, but for people with eating disorders, it is possible to skip meals, limit light meals from huddle alone, or overeat. Food emerges as a way to deal with the difficult emotions commonly experienced at this time, isolation and loneliness, anxiety about the semester and how this pandemic progresses, depression and anxiety. I will. Similarly, energy is devoted to new exercise routines, which become compulsive as soon as you gain control and a sense of accomplishment.
Eating disorders are often stereotyped as a problem for lean, white, wealthy girls, but this excludes the living experience of many. Eating disorders affect people of all genders, races, socioeconomic status, body types, and backgrounds. It’s important to pay attention to everyone you care about.
Refuse to eat certain foods or food categories if you see people around us overly worried about your weight, food, calories, or diet; avoid eating with others. Withdrawal from normal activities; do not eat or eat in small portions; or if you show other behavior, you can check in. None of our current real-life situations should be underestimated. It is important for us to continue difficult conversations, especially those surrounding mental health. Instead of talking about how to get “Quarantine 15” and how to make it a “thin semester”, let’s look at each other. Focus on how to stay connected and support each other. If the person you care about is having a hard time, encourage them to seek help, either through UCC or through an external service. And let us continue to focus on our own mental health and well-being as we navigate through these unprecedented times.
