And Adam from New York, but probably he was also in her mind. She dissociated and fantasized a lot about someone taking care of her, is really sad cause i have ed and i felt the same.
@@emilypaige1491 when I said “ only person who cared about her ” I really meant the taxi driver understood her, like you said her parent put her in treatment but they didn’t really understand her. x
As many times as I've seen this, the whole "the taxi driver might not be real" idea literally just occurred to me, and it almost made me burst out crying. I've had an eating disorder for many, many years now, and when things were particularly bad, one of the only ways I could actually make myself eat was by imagining someone was there with me, giving me permission to do so. I don't know why I did it, really - it was just all I could think to do. So the idea that the character may be doing the same thing really got to me. :/
I've just noticed that she's trying her trick of asking questions to avoid eating and Alan just nods towards her burger as if to say "eat then we'll talk" xxx
@MegaLotusEater to someone who has never been around anyone with disordered eating no it isn't obvious. Also I'm a chatty person so having a conversation over meals is commonplace to me xxx
the thing I love the most about cassie's series 1 episode is that yes she does eat by the end of the episode but then the show doesn't say 'oh that's it. cassie doesn't have an ED anymore." Instead, we see in the next episode and the episodes after that she does still struggle with eating even after this revelation. it kinda shows that it's unlikely you'll recover from overnight and combating EDs and other mental illnesses is a long journey but you'll gradual become better if you seek for the right amount of help that is provided
I've seen it so many times ... it makes me break down in tears every time, cassie is a character who is happy and energetic for everyone, but no one is by her side when she needs real help. Cassie is a bit of me
@@el-yz9mo Thank you sweetheart 💕 Your message means a lot and really touched my heart. I hope you are receiving some help now? As hard as it seems, please do try to get better. It just gets worse and takes more and more of your life away the longer it goes on. You lose all your friends and your family give up eventually. It’s a terribly sad and lonely existence. All your hopes and dreams will be taken from you. Your body will be so badly damaged that even walking will hurt and all your body’s systems will stop working properly. You deserve SO much more than this. If you are offered help, take it and run and never look back! I promise you it will be worth it. *YOU* are worth it. I am very proud of you too ☺️ Be kind to yourself and I really wish you all the best and all the happiness in the world x
He probably does exist, but in this scene I believe Cassie is imagining him being there because he’s always such a calming presence and it helps her to have him there. Remember, she’s probably hallucinating from lack of food.
I have a relative like this. She will look like she’s about to take a bite and then stop to ask a question or talk about something. By the end of the meal and everyone has eaten, her plate is always still full. It breaks my heart.
I don’t watch this show but i struggle with an Ed as well, and every time minute 3:34 makes me so emotional. Like i need someone that lovely who tell me to do things on that way
I know it's hard but I know you can get through it and you're beautiful just the way you are, and don't let anyone, especially not your brain tell you otherwise. I've been through an ed myself and I can honestly say that getting help is not easy, but trust me you'll feel much better and empowered when you share your struggles with someone. I know you're strong and you can recover from this. 🥰
i hope your battle gets easier...I struggle with anorexia, too... have lost many friends due to them giving up or not wanting to deal with me, which i can understand... however, it does hurt to not have someone like Alan there. Sucks when parents are also quite harsh or shit.
Cassie has always been my favorite, i used to be so obsessed with her that i would walk around with my lips slightly open to pretend i have an overbite like hers lmao💀
I felt Cassie. I was a Cassie" type way back in the day,but diagnosed bipolar not borderline. I meant some of her personality traits, both illness cross over very closely
One is a real illness one is not. One can’t be cured but one can. One gives you periods of “baseline behavior” and one doesn’t making it an issue with ones every day personality. One derives from the intense need to get attention and abandonment in childhood, but the other is more so linked to genetics. It’s absolutely possible that many borderliners also have bipolar, that’s a cross over. The two are not subsequently or even closely related. Good luck on your journey though 💕
I just finished the show a couple of days ago and cassie is literally one of my favorite characters ever :( She really is one of if not the best character in the entire show
yk this makes me sad, but also it makes sense. Cassie deprived herself of food (and possibly water) for days, plus she was doing drugs & stuff. alan (taxi guy) is a hallucination, the sticky note & weird messages, her body is basically shouting at her to EAT smth.
I try to eat well but then I end up bingeing, and you know? It feels so good to restrict after a binge and the feeling is so annoying at the same time.
wow I was very angry because I thought it was Sid's fault, but it was just her trying to take care of her problems I even think the taxi driver can be an invention of the head of the cass. I'm obsessed with Cassie so adorable and loyal :']
I watched a few of these Cassie videos just cuz I like Cassies character and then suddenly I got recommended an extreme weight loss subliminal. TH-cam what the fuck. Stop.
It's probably not directly youtube's fault, algorithm wise i can see why there would be a larger viewer overlap between skins clips and ed content unfortunately. That being said youtube still needs to do a better job at identifying algorithmical phenomena like this and doing more to prevent triggering content from showing up in tags
@@AirborneAshes Yeah I know in the end the algorithm is just a bot but that’s honestly fucked tho it’s really triggering. If it’s unpleasant for me then I can’t imagine how it is for people recovering from ED.
The most heartbreaking is when he asks her: 'Who want you to eat?' and then I thought the answer is 'nobody', because nobody really cared, nor her parents, nor her friend, nor Sid, nobody really wanted
Cass was always a favorite of mine and being hella similar with eating disorders I liked her character a whole lot also the guy that killed himself I liked him a whole lot too and seeing that happen really fucked me up as a teen
It makes me wonder if the lack of nutrition especially was making her slightly delirious and she imagined that someone sent her those texts. And the taxi driver was just an illusion
Oh boy! That burger looks delicious! I’ve never understood why some people have trouble eating or with even wanting to or needing permission…that’s quite interesting. I have a friend who just doesn’t eat or if he does it’s very little and it concerns me because I love him and care about him very much but like he’s going to do what he wants and I remind him all the time how important it is to take care of himself and what not and he agrees with me but I just don’t know if he is really listening and is going to really start taking better care of his body 😓
This is a council estate in Manchester- there’s more problems than usual in deprived areas, of course. But those problems exist everywhere in the UK, and all over the world too- they’re easy to miss when it’s not your friends and you don’t see their life story portrayed on your screens, but if you look theres people like Cassie everywhere, struggling with eating, personality disorders, suicidal thoughts or self harm. It’s not a happy-go-lucky show, and sometimes it’s depressing, because honestly, the state of the world we live in is sometimes depressing. But it’s also full of the better moments
@@zoebyrne9450 all you did was explain but I really love how you worded it. These 'depressing' things are indeed real. But the better moments are too. And they also count. No matter how brief they are.
Yeah, like breaking up Chris and Jal out of jealousy just because of what happened between her and Sid. She was almost like the female version of an incel.
I dont think she has this relationship with the taxi driver...maybe he asked how she was and was interested and saw him as a safe space...and she now is hallucinating him when shes scared...because there was no text's when sid looked...but she asks the taxi driver if it was him who has been texting eat...its pretty sad really
In my opinion it's better that the show ended. If a show goes on for too long it will become shit because they run out of ideas, like the Simpsons or spongbob for example.
Yes I want Gen4 and even more fucked up. Probably effy in prison would be good for gen4. Even cook gets caught n meets effy in prison. Something like that.
I'm pretty sure she was delusional. The same thing happens to Effy is gen 2-katie never actually tries to scare her but Effy hallucinates and beats her up over it. +Edit: Mini also has a breakdown and believes everyone was out to get her.
The taxi driver is the only person who really cared about her
He might not have been real people say it’s just her mind telling herself to eat

Try to handle things like Alan do in this scene, like 'eat and we talk' smth like that. I hope your relative and you okay now!
even aft all these years, young cassie is still one of the most heartbreaking characters i’ve seen on tv
Her character is so mesmerising, I’ve never watched skins but I relate to Cassie so much bc of her ed. I feel like I wanna give her a hug.
she seems so sweet and it's so sad.

Only because she was planning on killing herself so she knew it wouldn’t matter..not exactly the nicest story
@@lottiegray6684 That was in Sid's episode, where she had a whole 'last' meal, this scene was before then

I' m anorexcist and i know how it feels eat, and have fear foods. Thinking about food everyday because you are hungry and don't want to eat
Try your best I believe in you and it’s spelled anorexic :)
I'm just too scared to gain weight
Why
you do anorexisms? they should make a movie about that
@@JamesJoyce12 they haven't done it yet lol
the way the video ended just before Cassie took a big bite is so unsatisfying
