Her hip bones that were jutting out and left internet users very worried.

Many could not believe what they saw. Several netizens felt sympathetic towards the social media personality and wondered how she was taking care of herself. Some comments online read:
Eugenia Cooney’s mental health journey explored
The YouTuber extensively discussed her concerning eating disorder with popular creator Shane Dawson. She also spoke to YouTuber and therapist Kati Morton about her struggles. While discussing her unexpected 5150 with Morton, she said:
“Once you get there, it’s very scary because you see some crazy things going on. There was a bunch of people screaming, there was one guy who was telling me how he’d just got out of a county jail.”
Cooney also explained that the bed she slept on was rock hard and that she could also hear other people banging on walls.
Despite the Massachusetts native battling with her mental health, netizens have attacked her for promoting anorexia. A petition was also launched in 2016 where over 18,000 people rallied for her to be removed from YouTube. In response Cooney told followers:
“I have never told anyone to try to like lose weight or to try to like change the way they look or to look like me.”
Anorexia is a serious eating disorder which leaves people extremely fearful of gaining weight. This can lead to them avoiding food and subsequently lead to worrying health conditions like abnormal blood count, low blood pressure, absence of menstruation, kidney problems and anemia amongst others.
