Today, my roommate confronted me about my eating disorder. She described in length how emaciated my chest has become and how she wants to help. Except I don't have an eating disorder. My sternum is deformed and I have only recently become confident enough to wear low-cut tops. FML

People suck, OP. don't listen to them. Your sternum isn't your fault and I bet you're gorgeous.

Aw, that is really terrible. They didn't know and were just trying to help, but that doesn't make sucks any less.

Hopefully later today we'll see a post that says, "Today I confronted my roommate about her eating disorder and described in detail how emaciated looking her chest was. Apparently she just has a deformed sternum. She kicked me in the ******. FML."

Do you know what emaciated means, you brainless creature? No? Please crawl back into the dank hole you scurried out of.

If you meant the condition called pectus excavatum, I had that too, and fixed it only last year through a major operation. It's good however that you're confident about it - I was not. Tell your roommate to stuff it!

I have Pectus Excavitum but will never go through the surgery, it's not worth it, especially from the guy's point of view...hell, it makes for an awesome alcohol trick.

@86 my boyfriend was born with that, went through with the surgery and now he has no sternum, his ribs are misplaced, and his collar bone protrudes. It is dangerous, especially if you are still growing.

monikabug: the Nuss procedure? That's the most common procedure for Pectus Excavatum (at least it is now or was at the hospital I worked for). It's minimally invasive and doesn't remove the sternum. They do it in kids, a lot. It's actually harder in older people because the bones are harder. Im looking it up now, and it sounds like your boyfriend must have had the Ravitch technique. Yikes, that is scary.

how did the surgery go. I always heard it wasn't worth it but that was from good old fashion normal people.

haha 112, wasnt that classic =]

I had the Ravitch, but it doesn't look that bad after. I did it more for health reasons, mine was very severe, but of course the cosmetic reason and finally being able to wear pretty blouses did also play a small part in the decisions. (Was too old for the Nuss, I was 19 by then.)

how could anyone say YDI? @OP at least she cares

Roomie's heart was in the right place, it sounds like she didn't know about your sternum. Keep rockin' whatever you want to wear - confidence is beautiful!

This comment puts it perfectly. Well said.

so did your roommate know this beforehand? Or do you simply assume people will instantly know you have a medical condition. By the way, yeah FYL because you have a roommate who cares about you enough to confront you because she thought you were hurting yourself. That must really suck, huh? jackass

@21, Obviously if her roommate thought that he had an eating disorder, because she has a deformed sternum and ribcage, then we can infer that she did not know. Jackass.

Back to the shame corner, confidence.

I don't even need to see a picture of you to know you are a beautiful woman. Don't ever forget that fact.
