•Over stimulation
•Pity from a distance
•’Get over yourself, there’s people *in Africa starving, with cancer, homeless, living in poverty, dying, ect.’
•Massive weight gain
•Massive weight loss
•Both
•Your body literally changing how it looks and deposits fat based on frequent weight gain and loss

•Zero self esteem
•Breaking out in acne so bad you can’t put your head on a pillow from pain
•Being too depressed to commit suicide
•Self imposed isolation
•Stomach cramps
•Nausea
