Wrong Turn #1

This is a little personal comic thing I made about eating disorder recovery. I’ve been wanting to make something like this for a couple of years now, since I first decided to help myself and kick my eating disorder out of my life.
Eating disorders are too often trivialized, but they’re really a terrible thing to go through, and a lot of people don’t even make it out alive. In a society where crash dieting and dietary restriction has been normalized and celebrated, it can be really difficult to know when you’ve crossed the line and begun hurting yourself. It’s also a misconception that eating disorders are simply about losing weight and things like /thinspo/- it’s usually not as simple as that. It’s often a way to deal with anxiety and/or depression, looking for a way to bring order and control to your life when you feel like you don’t have any.

I really like how you took such a dark theme and yet illustrated it in a way that is cute - I feel like it's a good contrast between reality and expectations of femininity
