(frozen comment) Trigger warning for eating disorders

[personal profile] elephantinegrace 2013-07-21 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I considered posting this anon, but fuck it.

No one's saying that self-medicating is a perfectly safe thing to do. But sometimes when your brain is still not fully developed and you're facing something huge, you don't see any way of coping besides self-medicating. I was eleven and I knew eating disorders were a bad thing, so instead of starving myself (I didn't know bulimia was a thing) I would eat and then throw up at the earliest opportunity. I stopped for a while because my parents realized my teeth were yellowing a lot and took me to a dentist who figured out what was going on right away, and I started therapy, but I started throwing up after meals again in high school. This went on for another two years until my intestines literally started rotting inside my body and I almost died. It's been years, but I still have health problems that require surgery. I might need an organ transplant later on because my heart is so strained. Does that mean I should be allowed to die since throwing up that first time was my choice?

No, but it'd be hard to say you weren't responsible for your death if it happened.

Just because you did it the first time at eleven doesn't magically mean you'd never be responsible again.

That really depends.

Generally, under the law, most 11-year old would NOT be considered responsible for their actions. Because the law, rightfully so, considers an 11-year-old decision-making ability to be impaired compared to an adult's.

But say you still consider elephantinegrace responsible in the broad sense of the world, would you still say that she (I think she?) is unworthy of sympathy because of it? Because that's basically what op's saying.
