EDIT~~~ This has gotten over 10, 000 views, and i wanted to bump it up and say thanks for all the comments and the views, and lets hope out of the almost 11,000 views, at least one person got some useful helpful information and maybe just maybe iot helped save someone.
I wanted these to be seen, especially this one. I didn't get any further than here with them, but almost 11,000 views is pretty good i think.
So yeah, again, thanks!
Now back to your regularly scheduled programing. I figured it was ok to bump this in front of today's 365 shot because it sucks so bad. LOL!
*** please please read the statistics i included. They are heart breaking, scary, and have me in tears right now......
Today's disorder is a very broad termed one. I am trying to go alphabetically an the only thing other than "eating disorder" that began with "e" involved feces and urine, so i stayed away from those.
Plus i think eating disorders are a serious serious issue that should be made aware.
Let me touch on the actual picture for a moment. i am well aware that my body looks totally deformed and ab normal... i did that with the intention of portraying how people with eating disorders usually view themselves. A deformed and distorted view of reality.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An eating disorder is characterized by abnormal eating habits that may involve either insufficient or excessive food intake to the detriment of an individuals physical and emotional health. The causes of eating disorders are complex and not yet fully understood. Eating disorders are estimated to affect 5-10 million females and 1 million males in the United States.[1] Although not yet classified as separate disorder, binge eating disorder[2] is the most common eating disorder in the United States affecting 3.5% of females and 2% of males according to a study by Harvard affiliated McLean Hospital. Bulimia nervosa was the second most common followed by Anorexia nervosa.[3]

Hope you all have a lovely Thursday. Mine is going to be a busy long one, guess I'll be in school till later in the evening.

Cause your life just ain't good enough (just ain't good enough)
And your feel the world has grown cold (has grown cold)
And your drifting out all on your own (drifting out on your own)
And you need a hand to hold, darlin

reach out reach out for me
I'll be there to love and comfort you
And I'll be there to cherish and care for you
This one is all about textures and contrasts. The strong sunlight on a cold day gave a good effect.

TUNE:
This picture is definitely out of my usual style and comfort zone, but I felt very inspired by Leaf's aesthetic so I thought it'd be fun to do something a little more twisted. Plus I don't get the chance to break out my male av a lot, so I figured he'd work well in this setting.
A little side note about the title of the picture. Manyo Maash literally means Witch Marsh in Korean, hence the translated title.
Moving on to the featured item:
