What made you post this thread, if you think you don't need help and to be left alone? You posted it in the ED forum, so there might be some part of you that is concerned or thinks maybe things are not okay?
One thing that I've been told is that a big part of disordered eating/eating disorders is lack of judgement/believing that anything is really wrong. Part of this is due to the impact of lack of nutrition, but I think the other is that accepting maybe things are not okay is really, really hard.
One thing that I've found helpful is the idea that acknowledging that my actions/behaviors are maybe disordered/dangerous does not necessarily mean I have to change them. I know that is a bit nuanced, but for me it means I can at least recognise the disordered things occurring, but that at least takes away the pressure or need to do anything about it. My old therapist suggested it made sense when going along with the stages of change, where it can take people a lot of time to accept things are issues, and even longer to then decide to maybe think about change, and even then longer after that to try or want to change.
That might have made no sense. Thinking of you. Sorry if not helpful, and if not, can I ask what type of support or replies you were looking for with posting?
