Never thought I’d find someone that named her the same… I realized she’s never left. Just got quieter

Ballet hit hard

''some girls just don't have the look for this'' what ...what a rude teacher!!! 😤

💍🤰🏾💒🙏🏾

Was ziggy real like an actual person or was he a metaphor/representation of Ana/ed?

❤❤❤

As a dancer myself this hit hard. It’s great to bring awareness to these things. Thank you

What a phenomenal actress!

What was said between 6:03 and 7:41?

This is so real, it's one of the best short films about anorexia/EDs out there. Few great points: - a Black girl & a guy having the illness (not just white girls) - not everyone is already skinny (the vast majority aren't) - the different forms of coping, e.g. purging, exercise (not just restriction) - the different responses (praise from the teacher, anger by the mum) - the constant obsession in thoughts and underachievement (not the "perfect overachiever) - the weird sense of community and "worship" Overall: AMAZING

❤❤❤the violin at the end is perfect

Please never take this video down. I discovered it summer 2022 and it has helped me find and grow my spirituality and confidence as a Black woman. I would love if you uploaded just one more of these. Thank you.

I remember this, even though it was 30 years ago now. Those days when I "ate" a single piece of sugarless gum (5 cals). I was so proud when it hurt so much to sit through a 50-minute high-school class, because my rear end had no padding any more. It was all a waste. Considerable talent didn't matter -- my body wouldn't be right for ballet even if I weighed 95 pounds at 5'7". All I did was ruin my metabolism.

The ending got to me 😢

I felt this 100% all the emotions, everything. Especially when the scale said +5 lbs I had a heart attack for her. Worst feeling ever and the guilt lasts got hours 😭 such an aweful sickness to have it sucks

🙏🏾 Peace And Gratitude Sis! Used this years ago. Been guided to revisit this meditation however now audio goes out at 6:06-7:40 and 9:22-11:14. ♾❤️🙏🏾

My absolute favorite Black Woman Meditation!

It feels “real,” because it’s very similar to what I have experienced when my mental health was at its worst. And I didn’t have an eating disorder. I had other things, but big hints of orthorexia at times, too, which is why I also see myself in this film. This film is worthy of all the rewards and attention it received, and I picture it getting a lot more attention in the near or not so near future.

still my favorite mediation 4 years later

Did you know you audio is cut in certain parts of this video 😒 I listened to this on repeat four years ago and parts are missing. Please Fix It ✨

This is my favorite

I lose audio halfway through suddenly. This has been a go-to meditation. Is there a way to check the audio?

I'm sorry, but how do you gain 2.5lbs in one day?

When the dance teacher said she wasn’t built for it… while sharing the exact same body type as her that actually hit so hard.

Holy fucking shit that ending punched me in the gut I kinda suspected but Oh my God the delivery as a man struggling with an eating disorder thank you for the representation

I love this so relatable and the acting is really good it just feels more real it doesn't have that corny vibe so many of these have

"you don't have a problem you're too fat to be anorexic just do it" my early pro-ana day is when I was "pretending to have an eating disorder online for diet motivation'" I was so in denial and even as the obsession got worse and worse and I knew it was a problem I still kept coming back to the fact that because I was technically overweight and my behaviors weren't as extreme as some it was OK that's why I hate the concept of "wanarexic" just the fact desperate enough to willingly dip your toe in the community already proves you have an unhealthy relationship with your body and food and just the fact some people want an eating disorder that they'll choose it is proof that they're not healthy psychologically it's valid and it's not their fault yelling at people for not being sicker just encourages them to get worse

I know it's a hyperbolic metaphor please don't think online eating disorder communities actually worship Ana we use language like that but its all satire and a way to represent certain feelings as far as anthropomorphizing an eating disorder I think everybody has their own that's unique to them there's not one collective being yeah communities like Ed Twitter may be detrimental to some people but it's not actually a cult like some people might make you think

When she started hitting herself in front of the mirror and the bruises I broke, I only saw myself

She broke a toothbrush with her bare hands?

love wins. ^v^

Did they fucking kill my boy there at the end?! Naaaaaaaah that's WACK

The ending im crying

I know this may seem kinda weird, but I relate so much to when she started hitting herself and hitting the bed and stuff when she got mad when she gained 5 pounds Edit:Also the "your not anorexic, your to fat to be."

I'm always so baffled when parents find put about their kids Ed. As someone who's struggled with an Ed, my parents never suspected anything. I'm glad parents are learning to look out for this stuff.

You are Beautiful just the way you are. 🦄✨🌈💚

I love how atypical anorexia is demonstrated here. I have it and the whole “you’re not anorexic, you’re too fat fo be” really got to me. Also, my parents yell at me when I don’t eat too lol makes no sense.

Thank you 🙏🏿

THE PLOT TWIST OH MY GOD

Can someone please explain why she is touching her wrist?

Thank you words don’t express how much I needed to see this. You’re guided meditation helped me heal years ago and your film did today. I greatly appreciate you and your work. Wishing many blessings for you and yours.

This is awesome 🔥🔥🔥🔥

The "im not anorexic im too fat to be" hit hard

I felt with anorexia for a long time of pain, if so much pain. I always just threw away my lunch, came home and binged and then puked out my food for more than an hour at a time. After a while if loosing wait and getting to a BMI of 12.8 I started to actually gain weight again. It felt like it was all crashing down and I pushed my self further. I used all of my energy every single day to burn calories. I still went through hell and I wish I never went there. I really feel how she went through and how painful life can Somtimes be with it.

She purged in seconds, what am I doing wrong - it takes me forever

this is too real

When I developed anorexia I was overweight so I got praised by people for losing weight, it wasn’t until I got visibly underweight where people changed their demeanour. The culture about praising skinniness fuels EDs so much, without even knowing it people were praising my eating disorder and pushing me to continue. It costs nothing to just mind your business and not comment on others bodies, there is so many better things to compliment on someone, people are more than their bodies and until we get out of this mindset that there are good and bad bodies there will always be issues with eating disorders.

Okay, but none does that with measuring tape, no ED-person would fool themself like that.

Omg her cowboy bebop shirt

When u start watching these vids again yk it's getting bad again..
