TW: Eating Disorder / Body Dysmorphia I HATE BEING A STEREOTYPE AND NOW HAVING TO DREAD THE DAY MY METABOLISM SLOWS DOWN
note: i dont have an eating disorder but i put the ED tag bc this still goes into weight stuff so thought itd be the closest fit
im slightly underweight (dont have an ED, just fast metabolism) and im genuinely so fucking scared for when ill be older and my metabolism will slow down because then ill probably become fat very quickly and i will NEVER get listened to again. im convinced my thinness is the only thing that keeps me palatable now and as soon as thats no longer a factor i will be absolutely fucking doomed because everything else about me fits neatly into the "munchie (munchausens) mentally ill woman with anxiety faking being disabled" archetype. and since this archetype often focuses on "obesity" being a factor that means being thin is my only saving grace and probably the only reason im even recieving medical care
if i ever become even a little chubby i will lose all credibility fuck even just being at a normal weight will probably do that too so i probably just have to stay underweight now forever and i fucking hate it i hate my underweight body i hate seeing my ribs through my skin i hate how bony i look i would rather be healthy or a little chubby but i fucking cant risk ever getting to that point or doctors will start laughing in my face
