That means a lot dear. It definitely is an issue, any kind of eating disorder behaviour is a bad thing. It doesn’t matter if you just do it every once and a while, it is not something you should ever want to do, or actually do. 

Please please get help. You deserve better than this. Please talk to a parent, or a friend, or someone in your life. Reach out and start to make a change. Please.

Ecotherapy with Eating Disorders

Written by Cliff Hamrick, LPC, McCallum Place Austin In his book, Biophilia (1984), biologist E. O. Wilson suggested the biophilia hypothesis, which states that humans have a natural affinity towards other living systems. These living systems include large systems such as forests, oceans, and fields, but can also include smaller systems such as leaves, feathers, and spider webs.  But, considering that living systems exist alongside non-living systems, this affinity can be extended to include mountains, rocks, streams, and weather.  In his books, Last Child in the Woods:  Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder (2008) and The Nature Principle:  Reconnecting with Life in a Virtual Age (2012), journalist Richard Louv suggested nature-deficit disorder to explain a variety of mental and physical health

Six years ago, aged 17, I was admitted to a mental health adolescent ward with anorexia. I spent a year living in hospital, fighting my eating disorder.
