JaidenAnimations and I made a song about her Anorexia and Bulimia. Even though it's a bloody serious topic, we had a lot of fun making it. So here's the best bits and some insight into her story.
The song is here:    • Video

I've been close to several people with eating disorders, so this is a topic I've wanted to address for a while.

  • @1969crocodil
    it's so beautiful to see her laughing and having fun, and to see that she's in a place where she can capture her past experiences without being dragged down by them. both Jaiden and Dave did a wonderful job like holy-

    I remember this song making me feel so so understood when I was young and had multiple eating disorders, I can't believe someone who had to know to some extent because of this song how it is to go through that not only groomed children but pushed those poor girls into eating disorders.

    "i just made a mean joke to you, how can I make up for it" cuts to him wearing jaiden merch i see what you did there
  • @Solarien
    9:10 i rewatched this like 5 times and still laughed "this is becoming a routine arms back neck fuck" absolutely genius
  • @omando2992
    I love the part when they're recording and Jaiden just holds Ari like he's a second mic
  • @AndrewJW
    It's makes me so happy to see Jaiden laughing and having so much fun. You can tell she's much healthier now mentally and that she isn't afraid of her demons ❤️
  • The “asking for help doesn’t make you weaker” got me on a personal level as the feeling of being weak and needy is something that kept me from asking for help so many times, especially since I would frequently believe everyone i don’t know (be it personally or online) had malicious intentions, making it difficult for me to trust anyone.
