What came first; substance use or disordered eating? Does one predicate our tendency toward the other? Is using food, drugs, or alcohol even about the vice? Or are we just grasping at anything to soothe our emotional discomfort?
Ever wondered why substance use and disordered eating often go hand in hand? In this episode of 'Done with Debauchery', hosts Denise and Keisha tackle this complex and frequently overlooked issue. With an estimated 50% of substance users also grappling with disordered eating, the hosts dig deep into the intertwined nature of these behaviors. They ask thought-provoking questions: Does one behavior lead to the other? Are these vices merely coping mechanisms for deeper emotional pain?
Or is it a bit of both? Denise and Keisha share their own journeys, shedding light on how childhood experiences and social media can influence these patterns. They don't shy away from discussing the extreme behaviors that can arise from disordered eating, stressing the importance of awareness in making healthier choices. By the end of the episode, you'll have a better understanding of the psychological underpinnings of these issues and why it's crucial to talk about them.
Tune in for a candid, eye-opening conversation that might just change the way you see substance use and disordered eating.
