Description

Inspired by tabloid news, your attention-deficit cohosts have a conversation about labels in the mental health world. Topics and tangents include:

• Ways we feel stuck and ashamed in our eating disorders this week
• Glennon Doyle’s recent anorexia diagnosis and ensuing controversy
• Differentiating professional diagnoses and personal labels
• Labels we’ve given ourselves, labels others have given us, and labels we’ve reclaimed
• How online dating has changed the way we label ourselves
• Reddit and r/ProED (RIP)
• When it’s healthy to internalize labels and when to let them go
• Our most low-effort (but still delicious) palate cleanser yet

CONTENT WARNING: We talk about eating disorders more than usual on this episode, though we try not to go into detail when it comes to behaviors. No pressure to listen if this type of conversation is triggering to you in any way.
