discord server to my Eugenia Cooney video I made about a week ago I was just
going to do like a one and done Eugenia Cooney video a lot of people are
requesting it and I'm gonna put it out there put my thoughts try to help some
people increase awareness I've been reading the comments and getting like oh
my god because a mental health youtuber someone trying to increase awareness did
not know about what was going on like how many other people don't know about
what's going on right or how many other people are using Eugenia Cooney to
encourage their unhealthy behaviors and if you guys want to play a fun game with
me if you leave your comments down below
this is for everybody who is watching her videos people who are going on
people who are disorders okay like my son
pretty much only watches YouTube and costly checking and seeing which
youtubers he's watching sometimes I watch some videos with them and stuff
like that but like seeing the amount of young people who are watching Eugenia
Cooney like I'm sitting I'm like did that parents know what I do their other
parent seeing this because I'm about to read some comments that are very
disturbing and this is why we need to keep bringing awareness to these types
of subjects when I was younger and I lost Eugenia Cooney I remember thinking
why can't my body be like that I was very insecure and I was even skipping
meals but thankfully because I have a good support system at home I grown up
being more confident in my body when I was a young angsty teen and remember
watching her videos and hating how I looked because I wanted to be that cool
edgy skinny scene can I wondered what was wrong with me and why it wasn't as
small I hope she gets the help that she needs
Perdition is very sad and so is all the young people on her video sending her
compliments about her way and looking up to her while she makes very body
revealing videos might I have liked you guys this is why we need to talk about
this is why we need to talk about it okay like first and foremost if you are
in recovery from your eating disorder that is
awesome congratulations there are so many stories that have been
in the comments of people who have overcome this thing and by the way
that's why I want you to join a discord server to like we need people who have
recovered or are in recovery to help support the people who are struggling
only losing the weight is not going to make me happy but especially when we're
talking about disordered eating like it's important that we realize that it's
unhealthy to okay so there's an entire sector of people which I'm going to talk
about a little bit later in this video who are very for you know they are pro
eating disorders and this is very very dangerous and more people need to know
about this we're gonna talk about triggers and
avoiding triggers I've mentioned this before but night eating disorders and
addiction are very very closely tied together science is proven that both
people who struggle with these different disorders whether it's addiction or
eating disorders it affects the brain in a similar way so we're going to talk
about triggers real quick so someone like you discussing this this
desperately needed in recovery of IDI for years and even just before sitting
down to watch this video I wanted to get a staff a snack myself today you need to
eat too that's how much Eugenia Cooney can still trigger me it's so sad to see
her avoiding it all fan of hers even as an adult who's been recovered for nearly
ten years I see her and feel self-conscious thank
you for this video like this is real stuff this is a struggle like you guys
recovering in Las Vegas Nevada I am surrounded by drugs and alcohol a
huge part of recovery and recovery is different for everybody but we need to
know when we need to avoid triggers right and I know you'd be rough for some
of you but like also be blessed for triggers also helps build resiliency
so I feel that living in Las Vegas has made me stronger in my recovery because
I'm surrounded by it every single day I know
that if I stay sober one more day in Las Vegas I calm about right but I still be
triggered by every time I walk into a grocery store like the grocery store I
go to like the pharmacy is right there and my drug of choice was prescription
meds I'm very mindful of these things I might Chris that is screwed up thinking
this is my recovery so important we need to catch these thoughts and realized
witness happening but if you're somebody who is triggered by these things I know
where you're at in your own recovery I could make an entire video on this know
where you are in your own recovery and you know what to avoid okay but again
for all of you who are in recovery from your eating disorder like please please
use that experience to others or Facebook or just below like tumblers
that are like eating disorders I'm working on a new video now listen to
this listen this description we're a group of people from NPA this sub does
not condone trying to get an eating disorder rather this is a place for
people with biddies who do not wish to recover
yeah an interesting point very interesting point are you because she
said that she wonders if she's doing more harm than good but she used the
word harm reduction is a word that we use a lot in addiction recovery because
there's there's recovery like there's accidents and then there's harm
reduction difficult topic it's a very difficult time because while I do want
people to recover and I want people to learn how to manage their emotions to
get down to the root of the problems get treatment or therapy or whatever it is
home reduction is better than people dying right so I know it's an
interesting topic and I are still talking at the mails
I'm trying to get her in the discord and be her might and I don't know yet but I
might do a video about harm reduction for eating disorders I've done some
videos about harm reduction for addiction so I just need to educate
myself more before I talk about it on my channel
I don't want to do anything that you know kinda when she says I don't want to
do any more harm like so one of my biggest suggestions is for all with you
again going back to like know where you're at in your recovery light by
early recovery bike it was difficult to watch shows like intervention while they
show like graphic scenes of people like drinking or using or whatever ideas like
if you are got to have a person like you need to learn how to avoid your triggers
alright but again again please please please
join us in our discord server or join us in our Facebook group we also have a
subreddit okay and it is based around talking about the problem focusing on
the solution that so many of you comments I don't have people who
understand we understand we are here for you come join us get some support okay
whether it's you know bringing awareness to this how it influences people even if
you struggle with another mental illness
eventually is there's a lot going on in the community where it's like grow
self-harm which is very disturbing to me like anyways let me know video topics
below like you know what I'm gonna try to give some bonding time to these
kitties so here's what I did so Wyatt that is like his favorite spot on the
couch right and Maya usually lays on the floor but I was like you know what Maya
I'm gonna put you right here and my freaked out for a minute and she's like
no let me up let me up but then she just sat there and now they're both on the
couch together ain't that right Maya
