Alright. My essay follows. I got time today, y'all.
What concerns me most is definitely her cognitive functioning. Mind, I don't mean cognitive abilities/IQ, I mean she appears just beyond marginally aware as she does her videos, and struggles with attending and a whole host of factors especially in regards to her speech pattern (since that's what's most available for me to observe).
I've looked at earlier videos and she's far more coherent, her mannerisms far more age-appropriate...
It's frightening to see this young woman struggle to piece sentences, using fillers like "like" beyond a millennial valley-girl speech pattern but as a genuine filler as she seems unable to fully string thoughts. All the while she repeats herself continuously ("and my, um, dress here, like, I like it because, um, my dress is black, and like, I really like the black of my dress, uh, and like, I like that the black is like-")
It's...scary. I am not going to speculate on her story, but it's obvious she's lost weight, perhaps continuing to lose weight, she has very little muscle mass - and the heart is a muscle like any other. She's at high risk of just having her heart stop.
Basically,
1. In the tiniest chance it's a genuine, physical medical condition causing her low weight, a medical team must be involved at this point.
2. If she has a psychological illness, I can hope a medical team is involved, but beyond that I don't think any attention from the internet does any good, and fits to "kick her off YouTube" are misguided as well.
3. If she does genuinely believe she's "just naturally skinny", well, I don't think the family she lives with believe this, and her mother in one video seemed fairly competent and loving. I feel the family she lives with couldn't possibly be unaware and uncaring, so again I think her receiving some medical attention, even a yearly physical, is happening *shrug*
