Scorn: time for zoomies
Lmaooooo
That's cats for ya lol. My Sasha gets her zoomies at around 4:30 in the morning. Good thing I'm a night owl, but she does seem to do it most as soon as I get comfortable and close my eyes lol.
The comedic relief we needed
Pets, man. 😂. My husky waits until Friday morning when she knows I have a Zoom meeting, then chooses that hour to go apeshit on her squeakiest squeak toy. She doesn't touch it otherwise. 🤦🏻♀️
@@s0lastsummer7 she needs ALL the attention lol
Believe me, you're not the only guy who feels this way. It's hard to admit for men for lots of reasons but you speaking up does help for both you and for other guys with eating disorders. You can inspire them to speak up as well. Thank you so much for making this video. We're here for you and proud of you for having the courage to do this Richie!
Call upon Jesus bro, he’s real and loves you. Anything you’re going through he can change it. It’s what he died for! Aye man your call but he died for our sins too so we can be in heaven with him, turn to him. God bless you
Reach out to Jesus.
Wow some1 posted the same comment! The father is trying to draw you into him, to heal you & liberate your soul & emotions from all the powers of darkness. Jesus is our helper. Reach to him in desperate times. God cares 4 U brother.
@@devinmcdaniel777 God loves yr comments bro. I am A prophet. God saids thank you. It means a lot to him, to save his lost sheep.🤝❤️🤕🤝🤴🏻❤️🔥

Im relapsing myself at the moment and hearing you talk about your problems actually helped me. It’s somehow calming to hear that i am not alone.
You're not alone ♡
@Jay RueMars
I hope everything gets better!!! Sending love and good vibes❤

Scorn running around in the background was adorable, but thankyou for sharing, despite peoples rampant insensitivity on the internet. I've been battling alcoholism for years and I'm in a much better place now. I really related to the whole "no one is holding me accountable but me thing" ... Don't be embarrassed.
I will never stop watching your videos no matter how big or small your views. Your honesty is unmatched my friend. You have made it through so much and I believe you will get through this too
For me, disordered eating was about control. I couldn't control what happened around me, or much what people were saying about me, but I felt somewhat better or more " in control" , when I didn't eat too much. But it's like your mind starts going with a pattern of what it thinks is " normal", when clearly it's not. So, I feel like it's getting yourself out of this pattern, and a newer way of thinking. Like taking a shovel to climb yourself out of a hole. Realizing that our bodies that house us are temporarily here to manuver us while we are here, puts it into a little more perspective. It's made to last us a lifetime. And, we can't care what other people say in the end because it's not about them, only the opinions that house themselves own them, and their minds really . Yep.
That... Actually helped me a little putting things back in perspective for myself. Thank you so very much.
As someone who regularly gets told they need to lose weight by parents and loved ones, everything takes a mental toll on you. I appreciate and love the honesty you have about putting this out there. I remember when my eating disorder hit its peak and I was bed bound, and I remember not wanting to move or be alive. You honestly can never win with other’s opinions, but I hope you can be kinder to yourself and hope you can recover from this ❤️
Good for you
♥️
Genuine question… would you rather have had people just leave you alone while you were bed bound? Or would it have been one of those u-turn kinda things where you would have been unhappy that people weren’t trying to help you? I’m curious as to how this mindset plays out real time.
Social Repose, I have always thought you are extremely intelligent and well spoken. I thought I would just tune in for a few minutes of this video and ended up listening to the entire vlog because of how well you were presenting yourself. My heart goes out to you and I hope that you eventually arrive at a middle ground from which you can mend......Claudette
I think it's so brave of you to say all this. I've struggled for years with anorexia. I started listing to your music about 5 years now and it's gotten me through a lot. I never felt a alone and it's horrible the stigma of men and mental health. I was brought to tears hearing this because I knew those feelings. I was body shamed since elementary school and now I'm in and out of hospital with this, life changing thing as you said. I hope you can find ways to learn to look at yourself and love you. I'm starting off small with small things I like about myself. It's a long and rocky mountain of a journey. I know how it feels, you want to look like a skeleton, you want to see ribcages when you see yourself. I know I hate what I see in the mirror. And I'll admit during covid it got a lot more.. life dangering. I'm 5'1, and barely 98lbs. I want to recover, and I'm trying. But starting small is the best advice I can give. You're worthy of eating, you're worth it.
I think therapy wouldn't be a bad idea but you got this you can do it.
My cat heard scorn playing with the door stop and she started…
I hope you are able to get through this and come out of it healthy and happy. Good luck, stay strong, and don't forget you have support from so many people
Hi, Richie! So proud of you for being honest with yourself. I hope you do decide to confide in a professional who can help hold you accountable. The internet can be damaging and friends can be distant or transient. I'm rooting for your journey back to a healthier mindset 💜💙
Thank you for sharing and being vulnerable here. It’s really important to have male representation with eating disorders. I’m in the same boat right now. I recently had to go to the ER for dehydration and malnutrition - for the third time in my life. Try to take care of yourself, okay?
I definitely understand. I feel almost the same way currently. My metabolism has always been fantastic, literally eating anything and everything I wanted my entire life up until the last two years. I've just turned 30 and I'm overweight for the first time in my life. Well, 'overweight' according to myself. It's such a mindfuck looking in the mirror and loathing more then just my face. I'm not handling it well and don't have any words of wisdom but I understand you.
I'm sorry u are struggling. I don't have an eating disorder, however at one point I was 82 pounds (I'm 4'11" btw) due to health issues and definitely caught myself having thoughts like, "I don't wanna get fat again" whenever I would eat after my health got better. I've always been a "fluffy" girl except for that time in my life. What worked for me to start eating regularly again without those intrusive thoughts is, I would do something like watch a movie or TV or read while I ate, to distract myself from the fact that I was eating. I know it won't work for everyone, but it's the best advice I have in this situation. I will say this though, if that's u in your profile picture, u are gorgeous! I hope for the best for u even if I don't know u! U got this! 💜
@@btter710 wow, thank you for the kind words and advice! I'll definitely give it shot. what do I have to lose in try, you know? Yep that's me🖤 truly tho, thank you for reaching out.
@@skyetrapp5511 no problem at all! U are right, it doesn't hurt to try! I sincerely hope it helps! If u ever need to talk, please reach out to me, I honestly don't mind. Be kind to yourself, please!
@Skye, I mentioned in Richie's comments earlier, I am an aging human body that survived anorexia but very late in life. Aging plays a great part in recovery. As you said, "metabolism slows down." More than you can imagine. The thought of living with this poor self image and self worth I have of myself will distract me, but anorexia will put me in a grave earlier than hoped, or in the life expectancy alloted a Boomer. If an old body can get back on track I see no reason why a young body can't beat the odds already in their favor. Youth.
Good luck, young people. Learn to like yourself at least a little bit before the hormones and all that our human form requires to exist begins to diminish as nature intended. 👍🌹😊😷💉☮
@@btter710 I promise 🥰
“14 seconds ago”
christ im early.
uh. do not be ashamed my good sir. be proud for being able to talk about it. im glad you came out and spoke even though you were scared to.
cheers
Wait Mercy Kill was in 2018? Holy hell time flies. Also I didn't know the phrase "skinny fat" until you mentioned it in a video. As a big girl my whole life I literally laughed. But I get what it's like to have people immediately assume they know how to fix a person based solely on their weight. There's so much more to weight than what you eat or don't eat. Mental health is a huge part of it and people clearly see that with ED but if you are a big person it's clearly a character flaw and it's "easily" fixable. Life isn't fair and the standards of beauty are so unrealistic, we're not anime characters we can't just erase what we don't like about ourselves, we can improve it and grow with it but that takes work and a support from others. The first step is realizing there's a problem and admit to it, congratulations that's a big step.
He looked like he was gonna cry the whole time 🙁 I hope you start to recover Richie
Its good to share your story ❤️ there are a lot of people who struggle with this issue, and its nothing to be ashamed of! Lets just support each other and get through this ❤️
Dude you got this, I think you're actually strong because you're honest with yourself, many people can't admit to themselves anything let alone in front of everyone.
You have to trust yourself because I sure as hell do. Best of luck!
Glad you were able to talk about it. I hope it feels like a weight off your chest. I don’t know if that’s the best phrase though.
I’m in my early 30’s. Struggled with it since I was a teen. I think you might be similar to me in the sense that talking/sharing these sort of things- not a comfortable thing to do. The attention feels weird.
Food is fuel. That has helped me. Good luck, R.
I'm glad Scorn was there to make you smile during this video. I know it helped a lot speaking about this on the internet. It must have been scary and not a lot of people can do that 💜. Let that baby be the light in your life to hold you accountable. My Luna has kept me alive through a lot living alone for the past 12 years because she needs me and Scorn needs you!
These comments are all really supportive, hopefully this can be a turnaround and you'll get the support you deserve. We all wish you the best, Richie
Kinda seems manipulative though, I mean it’s cool he’s coming out to tell us this but at the same time, he was getting dragged the last few months or however long and now he’s doing this to gain pity and support…? Hell I have an ED as well as other mental illnesses but I’m not going to have people feel sorry for me after I was a shit human
@@kayyynicole13 idk, he said in the beginning that he knew many people would think he's lying or think its not genuine.
@@kayyynicole13 your negativity is not what he needs. True you're entitled to your opinion but right now this is not the video for you send hate. Be a decent human being and just send some kind words and move on you don't have to mean them but every bit of kindness helps
@@kylefox4569 That’s because he wants to lay the groundwork for his manipulation games
@@kayyynicole13 Jesus christ where's your compassion and empathy for your fellow human? Take the lens off your eyes for a second and actually listen to when a human is saying they're in pain
I’m glad you can admit there’s a problem. I hope you can get well and conquer this dangerous thing. Love you!
Thanks for talking about this, because as much as this video is about you, it's very helpful to others. Thankyou for being vulnerable as always.
See this is what Eugenia needs to do. Admitting that you have it is the biggest part and the start to getting better.
she doesn't wanna get better thats the problem
And So Richie just became Her Inspiration. Hope she gets it.
He cant really point the finger at her for not admitting it when his called her out on it for years while his never admitted it till now
@@TommyVarekai He's not pointing fingers. I'm just saying Eugenia needs to make a video like this.
Scorn I hope cheers you up when your down. He’s a riot. I am sorry you have tackled this for so long. You look good but don’t starve yourself. You are to young to have health issues this problem can cause. I think you are a great talent. Take care. 😘
People always gonna say things to everything. Just focus on people that love you. You are so amazing and perfect. Now you are blind but the day when you go to a mirror and see what people see, you gonna love yourself so much🖤 (Sorry for my English, I’m from Mexico)
I'm proud of u Richie for speaking up abt Ed's because no one really talks abt this kind of mental issue
No one talks about ED’s? They’re literally in fashion right now 😂
@@hardfugoo1 look i haven't been on TH-cam in a little over a month so i'm sorry if i "offended" u
@@hardfugoo1 lmfao
Thank you for sharing this, I’m still learning how to recover from the years of a rocky relationship with good. You aren’t alone and you will always be supported
Not sure if this helps, but maybe you could get into cooking habits like learning recipes and stuff. If you work on your culinary skills, you might fall in love with food and it might combat the struggle.
I’m not sure it works like that.. but it’s a nice thought 😺
@@abhikbjolly I mean if anything it could improve his mental state because it would be improving a skill. Especially living alone, it's hard to occupy your mind and find stuff to do, I think if anything it'll help with that
Exercise is generally the cure all for eating disorders but no one ever wants to do it. I’m not even just talking obesity… for underweight people to. The obsessing over food and calories thinking that’s all that matters tends to be a common theme. So shifting that focus entirely away from food and actually focusing on the physical side for the body works wonders. This tends to get shunned or overlooked, for whatever reasons, in today’s climate. Exercise is borderline a dirty word now 😂
@@hardfugoo1 There are many anorexic people who do not just under-eat but also over-exercise to lose weight. Some use excessive exercise as a form of purging and have an unhealthy exercise addiction, so I would have to disagree with you on exercise being "the solution" to an eating disorder. It's a complex issue that doesn't have one answer.
@@hardfugoo1 exercise is actually terrible for people with eating disorders it's absolutely the worst thing for them it's often abused significantly by people with anorexia to the point of passing out I would not recommend you give this advice to literally anyone with an eating disorder because it's very dangerous for their body and their heart
Good luck and get well Richie. I’m proud of you for acknowledging this, sending love ❤️
Thank you for sharing this Richie, I have been denying my eating disorder for years and this has given me some courage to seek help. I really hope you can over come this. I believe in you. This video has got me in tears because I relate so much. Thank you for sharing it really helped me realize I need some help. Good luck Richie I hope you get to feel healthy happy again soon 💜💜
You are strong for marking this video and I’m happy you can admit it. Cuz I am definitely worried about you and wish you the very best. Cuz I completely understand coming from someone who suffers from binge eating and Bulimic I know what it feels like to suffer in silence. Hope the very best for you.
As a 30 year old guy, I can so relate to this. I've struggled back and forth with anorexia for about 15 years now. I'm only 5'5" but for years hovered around 98 pounds and then in 2015, decided I was tired of starving myself and just ate what I wanted. I got up to 160, which makes me look huge and ever since have fluctuated between 120 and 160. It's good to know that I'm not the only one who'd rather be small and prefer the sickly look over being muscular.
theres a book called the art of starving, its about a boy with an eating disorder.
I’ve recently developed an ED myself :(
I’ve always been naturally VERY skinny. Even after having twins.
But once I turned 30, I gained 20 lbs all in my stomach.
I started taking laxatives and eating way less food 😞
I think hearing your story is a sign for me to stop and get help 🥺💗
🙏
Stay strong ❤️
@Social Repose You're an inspiration. I think I speak for everyone when I say that we all here for you.
Richie… I’ve been dealing with a lot… and I reached out to you recently elsewhere and it was wonderful to hear from you. It’s amazing you came forward about this. Please keep in touch.
I have a binge eating disorder. I only recently came to terms with it when I was having major body dismorphia.
The underline reason is basically living in a large poor household and having little to eat while I was a kid. Now I binge eat the food items I like and I'm rather food aggressive.
You just have to take one step at a time. You have support from your followers. Stay strong and true
Please don't be embarrassed. Thank you for sharing and know you're not alone. 🖤🙏
I've really enjoyed your music and videos over the past few years growing up and, I'm sorry to see your going through so much as a youtuber... and now with your health. I hope things better for you I'd really hate to see anything happen to you. Get better Richard!😁
Recovered ED here; if you want any advice on how to slowly recover, start with premier proteins. They have very low sugar/carbs/calories. You have to get consistent protein after starving your body for so long. Just try to have one or 2 a day. They have a coffee flavor I really like. Take one day at a time and one shake a day (hopefully with other meals throughout the day, but sometimes you just can't everyday) but get those shakes in. They won't make you feel full/bloated which can lead to anxiety and guilt. But protein is the biggest positive change you can make now that you've made the huge step of admitting there is a problem. Oh and stay hydrated. You can do this! IF YOU HAVE THE WILLPOWER TO HAVE AN ED YOU HAVE THE WILLPOWER TO RECOVER FROM AN ED!
I know I am a year behind, I have found the most amazing and delicious protein bar ever on the planet. It's called the perfect bar is made with peanut butter honey and angel wings I don't know it is to die for the dark chocolate almond it's a little questionable you probably find the peanut butter and chocolate chip, just peanut 🤤 butter you can probably find it online. I despise protein bars usually, they taste like "healthy"! I got my nephew to eat these he takes medicine for his ADHD and it kills his appetite. He's always got one in his book bag. Hope this finds you in good health. See you in the next chat
I share the same struggles and it is nice to know that I am not alone
Its heartbreaking to see this notification even. Jesus I hope you do find help through therapy and maybe rehab
The comments made my heart happy. Richie, dont ever be afraid to share stuff like this. We are all here for you every step of the way
Im really proud of you for being open about what you're going through..we love you dood..sending you all the hugs and comforting head pats♡
As someone who's currently relapsing into anorexia for a third time, I can say that the best thing is that you are admitting it and wanting accountability for it. That's the hardest part of this. You're stronger than me, I can't tell my family or friends I'm slipping back into old habits again... So good for you Richie
You can do this. If you don't have anyone, as I did, join an online group or come here and talk to us. I'm so impressed with all the support, thanks to Richie.
I'm a Boomer with an ED, and I know you young people are stronger than you think. If I can move through this so can you. Stay strong, stay positive, and don't be afraid to reach out.
I think I can safely say for all of us here, you're not alone. 🙂 🌹☮👍
I myself struggle with different mental health issues. I don't want to say anything that could be harmful, so I'll just say that I find your content interesting and entertaining. Wishing you nothing but well. 💙💙💙
Thank you for being open with us, Richie. So proud of you and sending good vibes your way.
I don't know you Ritchie but I've watched and followed you for years! As a fan of your work your such a committed person to your work. And as one of the many people will comment "we are here for you" if takes some balls to open up like that and admit you have a problem and for that bravo man!
I'm so glad that you found the strength to share this. I know how you feel. I've been there. I hope you feel better.
The world is not always kind so it is truly brave to openly admit your struggles like this, a lot of issues stem from other things that come into play or triggers that force you into such things, Keep us posted and this is truly the first step in self love. I hope you recover from this soon.
Don’t be scared that you admitted it. I’m proud of you. So very proud of you for talking about this. You have my support and so many other people’s support. I’m proud of you talking about this with us ( your fans) I understand where you are coming from. You aren’t weak to me. I promise it’s okay to cry. 🖤
Richie, I hear and see you. You are not alone in this. Your "oh no" moment is something that I personally experienced and others I've spoken to have also experienced. I've been in ED "recovery" since January but have been taking seriously the last 4 months due to heath complications. I can say that it does get easier, but fighting that demon is so fucking hard. Coming out and recording this video and posting it (!) took so much fucking strength to do. And you're absolutely right that there is a mix of what "causes" it, from aesthetic to societal pressure, to issues of control. It does also cause that confusion and memory issues, called brain fog, that take a while to get out of once you're nourished. This video was bold and vulnerable and I think you doing this is you holding yourself accountable. For me, I personally wasn't able to hold myself accountable and needed intense therapy, but if you're seeing a therapist, or are thinking about it, this is something to bring up with them or even a nutritionist. Men have eating disorders too, and they can be just as deadly and debilitating as they are for women.
I'd like to leave you with a little saying we have in the eating disorder recovery community. #NEDA
Richie, you can do hard things.
I hope one day you can find True happiness within yourself. Life on the internet is so toxic. You are brave.
It is so easy to tell. You do have a small frame, but your Bones do protrude, dear.
I understand your Position. I live alone and am currently Relapsing. It sucks SO badly.
I’ve been in many Treatment Centers where there were Men.
Thank You for coming forward. I’m Proud of You. Don’t hold back your Feelings or Emotions. Like you said, you could be helping someone else right now.
You’re in my Thoughts, Richie.
💗💗💗💗
Hi Richie, i've been a subscriber of yours for quite some time. and even though ive never really have watched most of your content, your video really stood out to me tonight. I just spent the last couple of hours binge watching most of your vids, and i can tell you're a really nice guy with a nice personality. quite entertaining tbh). I was able to relate to this video in particular. I am too going through a lot mentally aka anxiety. and its been kicking my ass LOL. but this video made me feel safe about me feeling so different from everyone else. Its OK to talk about it.... i hope that you feel better soon. and its ok not to be ok.
I have battled anorexia and it sucks. I'm so glad you made this video because, yes, males go through this too! And being told to just eat a sandwich is disrespectful af! Please keep your head up! You're amazingly talented!
I'm sorry you're struggling with this Richie, I understand how hard it is and struggle with a lot of the same things you mention. I don't really have anything to add in the way of comfort, but this is a huge, huge step. I hope you're feeling better soon
This is heartbreaking. I'm so proud of you for admitting and trying to change. You are so strong! You can do this! 💚 I'm so sorry this is all going on Richie.
How is it heartbreaking he deserves it tbh
It's not heartbreaking it's funny
Nah it's hilarious!
It's hilarious
@@JoeRymo no one deserves to have ED. it's a terrible illness just look at Eugenia. People have died from ED it's something I wouldn't wish upon anyone not even my worse enemies. it's not something to make light of and it's not funny to see someone struggle with it.
Good for you for speaking up. Talking about things that are embarrassing or make you feel ashamed is incredibly difficult especially when you're not an emotionally open or vulnerable person.
I've been struggling with the way I eat as well and hearing what you said was very cathartic to hear, you aren't alone and I know you can overcome this
Im so freaking proud of you for talking about it. You are strong. You can press through this and come out victorious 🖤💜🖤💜🖤
Thank you so much for uploading this video
I have never related more to a video. I struggled with anorexia and bulimia for years. Luckily I met and married a man that help me get through it and loves me no matter what. Proud of you for sharing. Stay strong there will be a day when the struggle isn't so hard. Love n hugs 🖤
you’re incredibly strong being vulnerable in front of so many people. stay strong richie 🖤
? He does this all the time for attention
@@qabrona9776 can you shut up
@@mundain8818 cry. go cry about it you little baby.
I think its stupid and sick asf to build your life around the internet like this haha. Talk to your parents or seek help or something. This is only for the likes.
You’re right about guys not talking about it. I’ve not heard a guy talk about it since Daniel Johns wrote Ana’s Song. That’s a long time ago.
Ohh so true I loved that band🖤 Silverchair
I am so proud of you as a fan!!! Talking about it definitely isn't easy but thank you for standing up for yourself. 💝
I met you in Charlotte,2016 I believe. It was the warped tour festival. You were so nice and soft spoken. I actually had no clue then who you were. I wanted a selfie and you were needed on stage. TH-cam was nice enough to grace me with reminding me who you were. Fan ever since. I really hope you remain resilient and take care of yourself. So proud of your honesty and vulnerability! That takes courage and such a genuine level of respect for yourself and the hopes of others wellness. I have been hospitalized 6 times for mental health and addiction. I don't like my body and I never have reached a level this caliber. But was no more than 115 to 120 all of high school. I lost 37 a few years ago when my body decided to just reject all food and I've never had the best appetite since. I have spent many times looking in the mirrior,disecting my every flaw. I felt disgusting at 165 and considered not eating or just inducing myself to vomit a few times. I would cry and believe nobody could every love or appreciate me. Thank God i never did that,i just got life threateningly ill instead. For 6 months i had no choice but to throw up violently probably 7 times a day or on a good day just when i ate. Never figured out why. They said acid reflux and ibs and i stopped the treatment for those. I still dont get sick like that. Anyway im cruising at 135 for now. Still wished at times maybe I could be like 142 and try to turn it into muscle. It absolutely is a real problem and isn't just some imaginary unreal situation. Thank you for your honesty and remember you have many people who care about you. You really are a rare gem 💎 ik this is a year late,but I haven't left the bed or the hospital for almost 2 years now. Hugs Richie 🫂 well wishes. You deserve all the best life has to offer you . ❤️
Richie, I've struggled with bulimia for almost 7 years now. I really feel everything you said. The "I wish I looked like this always" really made me tear up a bit. I don't know how to get better, but I know I want to. Thank you for opening up. I wish you the best
🙏
proud of you for being strong enough to admit it to yourself, and you should feel proud too. everyone’s healing process is different and takes time, as long as you push yourself and celebrate the small steps, it makes recovery the slightest bit easier
Bro. Tons of respect for admitting to us whats going on. No disrespect and all love. U should see professionals. Theres no shame in it. Ive seen a therapist for years. I love u bro and know u will get thru this. Its a hard journey
It’s awesome to see how much you’ve grown in the last few years. I used to not be able to stand you lol. But you’ve really grown on me Richie :)
Yeah wow I hate him so much also 😂🤭 but I'm glad I got to know him better
@Emma Rosie why?
U are a superstar. I am so sorry you have to go through this as many others. U are so brave and are helping others. Please stay strong and know people are always here to listen . please just reach out to others. Hugs
The first step is opening up and you’re truly a strong human to take the first step 🥺 we love you and support you🖤🖤🖤💗💗💗💗 I just wanted to give you a hug the whole video 😩❣️💖
This took a lot of courage. I'm so proud of you. I'm sure a lot of people can relate. I hope you get the support you deserve. ( I remember those comments you mentioned) Vulnerability is a strength . Yes I can relate eating habits do effect hormones, sleep & mood 🙏I am sure this video will help a lot of people to open dialogue.
I'm sorry to hear about the struggle you're going through. I appreciate your bravery for uploading this video, and I know you're embarrassed and regret doing it, but you shouldn't have to feel that way. Of course the internet is filled with shitty people who want to bring you down for no reason, but it's also filled with people who will support you as long as you keep trying to better yourself.
I'm proud to be a Patreon supporter, and I'm sure the others are as well! :3 thank you for talking about your disorder, and I really hope you reach out to a professional that knows more about it and can give you better advice on how you can start your journey of self-love again. I definitely need to start mine, so know that you're not alone in this.
Please don't hesitate on uploading videos about difficult topics like this. It could help more people than you know ^ ^ keep smiling, Richie, it looks good on you! And remember, we've got your back!!! ;0
P.S. I love the purple beanie and the art on the floor in the background!
It’s going to be okay Richie. I know this is hard. I’m still struggling with anorexia and body dysmorphia. I understand the pain and hurt of those friends saying to “just eat”. I hate my body, and yeah it’s all in my head, but my head is my own worst enemy. Anyway, not trying to ramble about myself, I just want you to know that I understand if no one else does and that I’m here if you need to talk. Thank you for sharing your story with the world, I know that took a lot. You look great! I hope you have a lovely day!
I appreciate you talking about this a ton 💜 I recovered from an eating disorder in my late teens, but now that I'm in my twenties and my metabolism is slowing down, I've been starting to struggle more. I can't stop myself stepping on the scale every morning and being angry if the number has gone up. Thank you for putting this out there
Proud of you.
So proud of you for facing it and talking about it. That's one step to getting better love. You got this
I am sorry you are suffering, but kudos to you for being honest. I wish you the best in your recovery.
I am so proud of you for admitting your struggles! Myself and many others understand, it is extremely difficult mentally and physically. But I believe you will get through this and be comfortable with your normal healthy weight eventually!💙
Stay strong Richie. You have so much support. Ignore the hate. Anyone can suffer from this. Be female, male, non binary. This is the best step to getting help.
Thank you for sharing your story!
You are so strong for sharing this!
I have followed you a long time and watched your videos. You have never been thick. The first step is admitting they have a problem. I suffer from borderline personality disorder and it took me a long time to accept that diagnosis. Self harm was always the way I dealt with it. With therapy, proper medication, a safety plan and renewing my love of art I'm finding my way. I have faith you will too. I loved Scorn's zoomies.
It’s ok to cry Ritchie. It’s an emotional thing to accept and come out with your personal issues. Thank you for coming out with it. You’re stronger than you realize. ❤️
Richie, I'm so sorry to hear that you've been struggling with this. It's crazy I remember watching your vlog about making those visuals and I felt concern about your extreme weight loss. I've been struggling for years now with eating disorders. Admitting it and speaking about it is huge. These disorders thrive off of secrecy and shame- perpetuating an endless vicious cycle. Finding a therapist who specializes in eating disorders changed my life. It took me a few tries to find one that I found genuinely helpful, but I'm so glad that I did! This takes time, please be patient with yourself and show yourself some compassion.
Thank you for sharing this!
You are so brave, and I support you.
Thank you for posting this video.
I hope you are okay. x
No e.d. is easy
It's slim to none you will ever see this, but I'm proud of you. I've been a long time supporter and seen you've go through it all and I feel for ya. Speaking up is the hardest part. Hang in there and keep going forward
You're going to be ok. Everyone deals with things in their own individual way however I have found involving other people, while frustrating at times, helped with my own self-accountability. Best wishes bro. I've been here since the Gucci gang remixes and think you're incredibly talented.
💛 This video helped me in my own struggles, thank you for being so vulnerable.
I hope you can get a handle on this before it gets out of control, completely. I struggled for over 12 years, but I am completely recovered now. On a side note, I hope you know that not everyone dislikes you. I randomly was suggested one of your videos-through the interesting TH-cam algorithm-and I have grown to really like you. Contrary to popular belief, we all make mistakes. We all do dumb things. But, we are humans. We didn’t all come with our own unique user manuals to use in every situation we go through in life. I see you as another human trying to get through life. You are incredibly talented as an artist and I find you to be extremely well spoken. I didn’t think we had too much in common before I watched this specific video. This only further demonstrates my opinion that you are just trying to navigate this confusing life like the rest of us. I wish you the all the best. A nutritionist and/or therapist might be helpful in order to help gain some insight and keep you accountable ❤️🩹💫
Been watching your content for years, and i am happy to hear that you took the 1st step to acknowledge the problem. I hope you get better and more importantly: i hope you FEEL better. Hang in there :)
What can we do to help? What can I DO to help? You are wonderful, your talent is obvious, and I want to see you continue in whatever capacity YOU want!!❤
Hey man I don't know if this will help at all or not but I have Bipolar Depression and have noticed a significant difference in my feelings of anxiety and manic episodes once I started eating more often and working out. It isn't a miracle cure by any means but it definitely made life feel way more manageable. Just eating more healthy and often made me feel better without even working out. Hope things get better for you.
