Doctors coming up with new conditions

[Natalia Evans]

I was watching the news last night and they just mentioned "shy eating." Another eating disorder. It's when someone is so self conscious about their weight, they fear people will be grossed out to see them eat.

Last year, I heard of another eating disorder, pregnorexia  . It's when a pregnant woman refuses to eat enough food because they don't want to gain a lot of weight.



I find it amusing how doctors keep coming up with conditions for behavior. What's next? Misconceptions disorder?  Maybe doctors ought to come up with a name for pure ignorance. What shall we call it?

craniorectal disorder.

  craniorectal haha

shy eating is bullshit. anorexics are shy eaters. that's like saying there is a thing called hallucination disorder that some people (schizos) have.

if it's a part of an established disorder, why make a new disorder? are they desperate? out of new things? wtf? like trying to make a woman out of a rib.

  And here's another doozy "pseudo autism" - like Clayton's autism - the autism you have when you're not really having autism. This madness has really got to stop!

But if they stop I'll never get my name on a disorder

:lol:Ah okay, just the silly names should stop eg. PDD-NOS (usually what specialists say when a person has some aspie traits but they don't know what the fuck is really the matter with them).

[SovaNu]

i have ED-NOS, what they call a mutt eating disorder.

I think they should come up with a name for people who take things very literal. Oh yeah, my online friend told me, they're called psychiatrists.

He has a bunch of doctor jokes he tells me.

i get that when i see hot guys. i think humans are god's art.

I'd say "shy eating" would come under the description of "social phobia". There's also a condition called "shy bladder" which mostly afflicts males. If they go to a urinal, they cannot pee unless there is nobody else there.

I have issues of going to the bathroom when there is someone around. I am fine in the stalls because there are walls. I have always been that way. When my bf is taking a bath, I close the shower curtain so I can go.

I am glad I am not doing those things anymore, it may seem paradoxical to some, but its more fun for me the way things are now.  I found a rhythm that is easier when you start.  I haven't stop since in reality, and now I am pretty much where I want to be.  It was a long fight, but it was worth it.  After you get to a certain point, it makes it hard to go back, its much better though, its not money.   I saw this with other people, I won't mention them, but after its gone they get irritable.  Its irritable for the wrong reason.
