The 40-year-old, from Carlton in Nottinghamshire, said the website she used offered no safeguards. She says it only asked for her body mass index (BMI), which she was able to lie about.
“If they’d checked my medical history with my GP, I don’t think I would’ve been eligible,” she says. “My BMI was normal. I just wasn’t in the right headspace to make a logical decision.”
Having an eating disorder/body dysmorphia is awful, and I can’t fully understand what state of mind she was in. That being said, she was suspicious about how few checks there were and consciously lied about her BMI to obtain the drugs, yet apparently didn’t think to consult a doctor or do any amount of research before dosing herself with the shit?
Sure, black market drugs are a problem, but if you buy meds off of shady, unregulated, and likely illegal sites, you don’t get to complain that the meds you received were shady and unregulated. If you want a pharmacist, go to a fucking pharmacist.

Body dysphoria is a bitch and can make people act irrationally.
I can’t speak from personal experience but having witnessed second-hand I don’t question it.

Edit: upon rereading I think I meant “first-hand”
Yeah, I suppose you might be right. It just seems like she had to have known on some level that she was doing something risky.
On some level, of course, we operate on many levels. But the logical one doesn’t always get priority.
Is it possible she didn’t come to those conclusions of suspicion on her own, and needed counseling to admit them to herself and her medical team?
