"If I was thinner, I'd be less embarrassing" Story. Of. My. Life. So glad you're recovering 💗

The Binge pilot was really good. I would love a series like that!

every time you post something i get so excited. Can't wait till BINGE becomes a series!!!!

She's the only person I know who can rock an inside out shirt.

The fact that she's drinking from the mug is giving me so much life.

Body dysmorphia is a hell of a thing - when I had anorexia I could touch every single rib & I STILL felt too fat in anything I wore. It was super, super sickening & looking back on it now, I can't believe how bad I truly was. Now I just cannot wait for Binge to become a real watchable thing! The Pilot itself was so fantastic and quite relatable! Already hooked!

Binging-“never doing this again”-take care of it-repeat. _Exactly how it happens._

When she drank out of the "my other mug is your mother" mug. 😂

I can't wait until this series takes off!

Dang I love the huge loose curls in Angela's hair, they look super cute with the short hair cut and side bangs, love it.

Angela is so adorable, she's that kind of person that would be fun to take to brunch to

Have y'all contacted Netflix? Or Hulu? Mainly Netflix I really think this is their kind of vibe

BRING BINGE THE FUCK BACK 😍

Angela is the cutest 💕😊

I've been watching the pilot every day for 3 weeks now. Can't say I'm tired of it tho.

"I thought if I was smaller I would be less embarrassing" - SAME, not completely well yet, training in a similar field and the fact that you're so articulate (your brain and mouth work together! wow! maybe someday) and you've made so many incredible pieces is inspirational to me. we need more people like you.

when i was watching the pilot i knew it felt too authentic to be a completely fictional story. thank you so much for putting your story out there in such an honest, creative, and fun way.

"you do a lot of magical thinking" oh my god I've never heard it put that way it is so true. you convince yourself by any means to keep doing this even you know it's damaging.

How did your parents react when they found out you checked yourself into a clinic? Also can't wait for this to be a show 🌼

i love how chill the conversation is, like it isnt so heavy and stuff like its relaxed to just talk about it

I really hope your show gets funded. You seem like a very intelligent group of people that can bring real awareness on this issue. :)

Hey Angela, do you still deal with urges or relapses with bulimia? Btw I hope your show skyrockets because people really need to be more aware of ED and other mental illnesses.

When I heard that Angela’s heart rate was 40 bpm I was so shocked because when I was at the worst part of my anorexia my heart rate was normally like 125 bpm

Hi Angela I'm Angela! I've had bulimia and anorexia for 40 yrs. I love this series. I've tried to get help with no luck. I've only been hospitalized once. I'm 64yrs old and I don't see an end to this.

Okay, so I just watched this after the pilot and BINGE makes more sense now but I still don't think I'll watch it again but Angela sounds so strong!

The world needs more Angelas

Ive had an eating disorder for nearly two decades, and I am only 31 years old. Everyday is a struggle, as I've been in and out of the hospital with low potassium. In the past, that wouldn't scare me, but it does now. I think it's because I've been putting the time and effort into recovery now and because I put down the drugs and alcohol (almost 6 months clean and sober!). I want Ed truly out of my life for good because he brings me nothing but suffering. Love this series, Angela. Keep going! ❤️

I seriously can't wait until the full series come! I also find it very interesting how Angela describes her personality as ''OCD'' and being really controlling (im assuming from what she said) but then the b/p + alcohol is actually so out of control but to yourself, it SEEMS as if you're in control. it's funny how the brain works because i have a similar situation.

I'm so glad to see more of you!! Thank you for giving me something to hold onto

Wow... Thank you for being so honnest. Not easy to do, knowing that tons of people are going to watch the video. Thank you. Really.

Yesssssssss. I'm get so excited when I see videos posted to this account. Thanks for covering this issue in such a real and raw way.

Thank you so much for this!!! Now, 15 years and many therapies later i finallly realize its really an issue and affecting my health my life my future. And im sooo ashamed of it and feel worthless always when im doing it. I just found your videos, they gave me much hope and you re so funny. You show me that even if im struggling with it - i still can have fun and laugh . Thank youuuu!!!

I love you, Angela! I'm so glad you shared your story. I went to Remuda Ranch's inpatient program a few years ago while I was still on my parents' insurance, BUT I had zero interest in getting better so I didn't listen to anyone or make any changes. Looking back, I so regret not taking advantage of the opportunity, especially considering how many people aren't able to get the treatment they need due to insurance stuff. Anyway, I'm still struggling, but your story is very encouraging. And I love your show. And I love Danny Jacobs :D

Your story for the first part is almost identical to mine! The road from anorexia to bulimia, the control, how I was afraid of gaining the weight back ... the second half is different of course and it didn't last this long either. I'm so happy that you're doing better now! I am too☺ And once again, wish you all the best with the Binge series. ❤

I loved the pilot and can't wait for the series!!

HAPPY NEDA WEEK♡♡ I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS SERIES! I've had an eating disorder since I was 11 and this series is the most accurate portrayal of my bulimia and overall mental state. I'm inspired by your recovery, Angela. Binge is my favorite show and it's not even out yet. I love everyone on this shows crew for putting it together. thank you so much.

Thank you for sharing your experience... It really helps to listen to someone that went through some of the same things I have/am going through. Can't wait for the series!💗

I love you guys!! So ready for this series to start

Wow it’s so interesting to hear your story. So glad you are in a better place now. I so badly want binge to become a full series!

Can't wait for the series. Thank you for sharing your story here and in "Binge". It really is difficult and I thank God for my health insurance that I was able to even get partial disability pay while I was in inpatient and PHP...I met a lot of amazing people who were dropped by their insurance and had to leave...and you feel for people when that happens-it just plain sucks. It's like giving someone two hours of swimming lessons and expecting them to swim the English Channel. Unrealistic and setting the person up for failure. :(

I don't know you, but I love your personality Angela!

I think your story and how bulimia is portrayed in Binge is by far the most accurate depiction I have ever come across. I've already commented and said the same shit before but I've just never resonated with someone else's struggles with the eating disorder as much as I've resonated with Angela's. I'm so fuckin keen for more episodes, because I routinely watch that first episode at least once every day without wanting to shoot my head because of how repeatedly I've watched it. Best of wished to ya'll! xoxo

Hi, I am fascinated of how much relatable this series are to me. I am aware that I have problems about myself, I know for sure that I'm not well. Watching this is like looking myself in the mirror (except that I am less privileged) I am on the same pain, I want to go out of this. I'll keep watching, hoping that I'll be on the same track as you now. I love your team, and who ever decided to pull this series out, this is very much of a help.

I can't thank you enough for creating the pilot. I've been in PHP for almost two months. I saw the pilot early in my treatment and it really made me feel like i too could open up about my bulimia and that what I was going through was worthy of concern. Thank you for sharing your story, Angela. Unfortunately, the insurance company issues are very real. Mine just denied me continued coverage. The facility im at is trying to appeal it. Fingers crossed! Be healthy Be powerful And make healthy choices

Can not WAIT for this series to start. I've been waiting so long for something like this to come along. The pilot was so ridiculously funny, amazing job guys. YAY xx

this really, really resonates for me. omggg. thank you for sharing this interview and the honesty and realness you bring to this topic.

This was just great. Great vibe between you two, and this whole video fees relaxed and very honest. It's SO so important to revolutionize the perception of personal struggle that is existential crises, secret coping mechanisms, compulsive self-destructiveness-- I think the revolution is to care about the person despite their gnawing pain that would otherwise be shamed and punished in society. Even when the object of this compassion is yourself. Especially then?...! So happy to see this in the world (and so well-made, too), literally you are having the conversation we need on every scale. I'm definitely tuned in to whatever more you put out there!! Thank you for your bravery to be radically honest and for your creative mission!!! :)

You guys are amazing and I really can't wait til this becomes a full series

Loved this video. She is so raw about talking about her disorder and her recovery. It gives me so much inspiration. I am currently two weeks binge free and have lost seven pounds in three weeks. Hope to see more from you Angela and that Binge takes off! More need to hear about this disorder from a first person account of it.

Amazing. I love the pilot, and the interview is instructive, as well as fun. Great job. I do hope it all takes off.

Angela you are fxcking awesome&beautiful!! Love every video you guys release and I cannot wait for more episodes of Binge! Congrats on your recovery and thx for having the courage to share your story with us❤

Definitely going to watch every episode!

I have never related to another person more than when I watched this interview. Thank you.

I would love if this turned into a full on series, it was so fantastically done. And the fact it was based on such true experiences make it so much more raw and real. (also low-key really really love Angela's voice)

I'm such a huge fan of everything you guys do. Can't wait to see this series get the attention and audience it deserves! Love y'all

I relate so much to you Angela. Starting out as anorexic, which turned into bulimia, and then started drinking to cope with everything. And I did my interview with my treatment center while drunk. I loved this pilot, I really wish this would get picked up. People need this awareness of eating disorders.

Thanks for sharing. I loved the short film binge. I appreciate it x

Thank you for speaking so openly about your experience, so relatable 🙏

This is absolutely the next best thing to you having the budget for an entire season! I am so thankful for you & your honesty! I feel a bit less like a freak of nature for my disordered habits!! & I think it's dope that you spoke to race & the flaws in our healthcare system! Especially with Trump 2016 not being weird hallucination.. I'm here for what y'all are creating!!

Thank you so much for sharing your story Angela. You're so amazing, and I love that this show is being made. I'm looking forward to the next episode c:

I've never said this to someone on the internet I haven't met yet but... guys, I love you. You are amazing and what you are doing is so... important. For me, and I'm sure as hell that for others as well. I wish you all the luck with the funding!! This kind of films deserve it sooooo much. People need to know what eating disorders are about, that it's not just a "you are just bored/have nothing else to do" thing.

YEP YEP. Thank you so much for doing this interview. I really really identified with this video. My eating disorder started as anorexia in high school and developed into bulimia, went of to "the Harvard of the South" for college, then took a leave of absence, went through some pretty intense treatment, and am currently on the more recovery side of things... but I do have difficulties with relapse - being totally honest. Thank you for sharing these parts of your life, it means a lot, and if gives me hope! -Marie

it's so amazing how much I can relate to angela. literally everything she says is SO RELATABLE. i abuse alcohol to feel better, I used to sleep w so many people (don't do that anymore bc of low sex drive), I binge purge starve repeat everyday, I have the mindset of "i wanna get better but I don't want to gain weight because I wanna be skinny" and I just feel so in controle when I restrict. I want to get help but I just can't. My mother caught me purging during my birthday party and since then I've been under super strict surveillance but I still act like everything is fine even though it's not? It's so hard but I really don't know how to stop all of this. I really hope that I can recover one day but I'm just not commited enough rn. Thanks for making this and the binge series, it really helps understanding myself!

Thank you for your honesty. I really enjoy the two of you and cannot wait to see this project grow.

Angela, thank you so much for this video! You are so cheerful and alive!! Looking at you gives me hope that someday I can feel alive again after years of ED. I would totally enjoy watching such talk videos of you and Yuri! You rock!

cannot wait for episode two!! literally counting down the days

It's videos like these that helped me realize that I wasn't alone in my struggle with body image and eating disorders and finally get the professional help I needed and family support! The more exposure to eating disorders there is, the less weird it seems and the more people will get help for it and talk about it! Thanks for these videos. I look forward to this series!

Thank you so much for sharing your story and raising awareness! I am extremely lucky that I was able to get help quickly (thanks to a 1 month scholarship). It was super helpful but I needed more meal support, and definitely more therapy. We have many options in my area, but none that take Medicare/Medicaid (I’m disabled). which only covers inpatient. I’m fortunate to have great free clinician-led support groups here through the Alliance for Eating Disorders Awareness, something I know is a rarity but we are trying to change.

Thanks so much for making another video, Angela, Yuri, HLG studios, and all staff involved. I love the humor, wittiness, and visceral accuracy portrayed in Binge. Soon, I will participate in letting you all know how this show has affected me on your website. I have been bulimic for 5 years now, but this May I will graduate college (whoop!) and I have more things to look forward to, to attempt recovery for. Hearing Angela's story is very inspirational for me. Thank you very much for sharing this delightful series, and it's cool that Drake was in this; he was always one of my favorites. PLEASE. MAKE. MORE. :)

This is so cool hearing your story, Your so strong! :D

Angela! Thank you so much for being such an open and honest person. The world needed someone to show the ugly truth about this illness. Much

honestly thank you so much for doing this!

you guys are awesome. thank you for making this. It really helps people! xoxo

watched the pilot yesterday and i already miss this

I'd been putting off watching BINGE for quite a while because i was honestly a little scared of it hitting close to home. Finally watched it today and boy did it hit close to home. But in a really good way. BINGE basically depicts my life at this point and seeing it reflected in a video was a little comforting, Im so excited for the rest of this series!

I LOVE the Binge pilot. I don't know how many times I've watched it. As an eating disordered person myself, I don't think I've ever seen a show/documentary/short film/ANYTHING where it really gets into the nitty gritty gross aspects of having an eating disorder, but at the same time I can laugh about the parts I relate to.

I'm so glad I found this channel right on time to see the making of Binge and the new series coming soon 💖 Angela you're so talented and amazing! 💕👍

The show is fantastic, the music is fantastic.... Let's hope for a series

no ed to speak of but am in recovery - thanks for your willingness to share of yourselves for the purpose of our entertainment and education. it feels good to see real women with real problems represented to an audience who needs and deserves a mirror like that. thanks Angela and Co.

Ik its been years but plz come back with a series of this!! It helps me so much.

I'm dealing with EDNOS(wondering if you'll talk about them? I have a mixture of anorexic and bulimic behaviors) and I've just been hospitalized for a suicide attempt and hearing about your story and seeing that you are actually in a good place right now is so comforting to me, it feels like maybe I can do it too. Thank you for making this, for making binge a thing and for not being ashamed of your struggle.

Hi! I just wanted to say that this show is AMAZING!! Im currently in the process of thinking about getting help for recovery... yeah iknow its confusing. This is by far the best depiction of what bulimia actually feels like... like you're comstantly spiraling out of control. I love how raw this is; like all the boundaries that hollywood is afraid to even come close too, you managed to completely break through. Ilove this so much!! And im going to bed every night praying that this gets made into a series! Lots of love!!😊

Throughly enjoyed this! Definitely relatable as I've dealt with an ED since I was 18.. I am 25 next month and still struggle. I have my good days and bad days. We who suffer know what that means.

I just discovered this series after watching a Buzzfeed video about questions ppl with EDs are asked and I'm just so happy inside that someone's bringing light to a topic like this.. I also can't wait until it gets the funding it deserves and becomes a series. :))

hahaha the mug! thanks angela and squad for making these :) i found it easier to cope when i could joke about it too

thank you for this, much love💕

Love love LOVE this!! This series isn't just well made...it's so important!

Your story completely sums up my late teens/early 20's with my eating disorder.

I absolutely love your personality Angela! Passionate people make this world go round ❤️

Listened to your episode on the dumbbells podcast and loved it! Watched BINGE and am excited - will there be more episodes? So intrigued!

i can totally relate to this!!! thank u for focusing on binging and purging cycle. not a lot of films and videos talk about it. they usually focus on the restrictive type of anorexia. which is not a bad thing though. but some people can't relate to it. it's nice to see something that u can relate to.

Y'ALL NEED TO MAKE MORE SHORT FILMS AND OR SERIES

I could write a 2 page comment but I'm going to try to keep it short...One I can't wait to to see this take off as a series! 2 I'm so glad to see that your are in a much better place and have a kick butt support system!! 3 thank you so much for bringing up in the interview how hard it can be to get into treatment and hope it does come up in the series because most shows make it look way to easy. I also enjoy you two doing interviews because you can take such dark content and laugh and make me laugh.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! I've been thinking about looking into treatment for a little while now, but it always stresses me out; the thought of having to plan it; the thought of going through with it, or even the thought of failing and wasting a bunch of time and money and people's hope in me and blah blah blah. This was reassuring to the point that the thought of going through with treatment makes me kind of excited. I don't think it's a possibility right now though. But, the thought is certainly very nice. Again, thank you for sharing. You guys are awesome! 💜 (Got really excited when it said you posted a new video.) Sorry for blabbering so much in my comments. Lots of love to you! 💖🌸

This was very helpful I'm happy you're exploring the different experiences and difficulties getting treatment ,I never had the insurance or money for it but recovery is always possible and always the answer

Hi Angela I admire the way you speak about such painful experiences, with such a light heart. When you do you're series (Hopefully soon) it would be interesting to hear you talk briefly about what we have just seen, So people know this is serious stuff delivered in an entertaining way. Don't forget us on this side of the atlantic, I know that E.Ds are spreading in Ireland.

I was just thinking about how convincing the acting was of Angela's character, well now I know why. I have found the pilot and prequel fascinating! I hope you get enough funding for a whole series and with all my heart I wish you, Angela, to be happy!

I love Angela and I love her story! I can't wait to see future episodes of Binge!!!

Hi Angela and Yuri, I don’t know how I stumbled across this eating disorder series but it’s amazing. I don’t have an eating disorder myself, I’m the roommate. It’s really exhausting to hold on to your best friends secret but also very worrisome too. From an outsider lookin in, eating disorders are a very personal thing. I have sincerely poured my heart out talking to this dear friend of mine and she always makes you feel like she’s hearing you at the time.. and on some level I’m sure she is but the disease truly owns her and she own it almost like it’s a family member that she can’t seem to let go of. I really don’t know how to describe it if I were to be totally honest other than to say it’s a very scary disease for the person going through it I’m sure although she won’t often admit it, it’s also scary to be the friend who’s trying to be helpful.. but doesn’t know how to help. There’s really nothing I can do other than to be there but am I being an enabler? Sometimes I’d to gather everyone in one room, announce to everyone she’s connected to that she has a problem and just put it out there but this is HER disease and HER own private hell. You wouldn’t out someone for being gay, that would be their story to tell (just as an example) so I’m just frustrated right now I guess. I haven’t finished viewing your entire series of short films on the subject, I’m about to do that right now. Thank you the insight I’ve seen thus far, it’s kind of comforting to see something that looks so familiar within this terrible disease.. if that makes sense? On a more pleasant note, Angela you are an excellent actress and your character really cracks me up at times. LoL It’s part of what makes this series enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing your story and putting it out there.. in a very cool film series!Thank you to all involved in this project. 🙏🏼👍🏼😊

I relate to nearly every behavior/actions she went through my god. Much much love to Angela.
