you have every right to be discontent with spaces online but implying that people are self harming by not knowing how to handle living with a disorder or not knowing where to gain access to correct resources is fucked up. saying its like watching people hurt themselves is actually crazy. it would be different if there were endless resources with correct information readily available but it absolutely does not seem that way from my experience.
they're not self harming by not knowing, they're injuring themselves because they don't know. those are different scenarios and reasons.
if you sprain your ankle and I am upset to see that you keep injuring your ankle by walking on it, I am not saying "you're injuring yourself by not knowing you should stay off of it," you're injuring yourself because you don't know a better way. it's extremely reasonable to be upset and stressed to see people being in pain because they don't know how to avoid that.
