I literally stopped going to therapy in like, november, because I opened up to my therapist abt my relationship with food (it was starting to get bad), and she just pulled a "but food is good for you 🥺". Literally 5 to 10 mins later, it was the end of our session and she went "ok, do you want to book another appt, or would you rather contact me when you have something going on?"
I got so pissed by it that I haven't talked to her since. It wasn't even that but like another time when i mentioned i suspect being autistic, she just went "no, you can't be autistic. I think you're just a sensible girl who got traumatised."
Mf.
So I just didn't contact her since and decided I'll just help myself.
my bf knows i'm tring to lose weight and shi and he told me last night something like "yeah and when you're skinny..." abt cuddling or so
Feeling like you're stuck in your body/brain
Feeling like this is some sort of dream you can't wake up from
Everything is overstimulating
Agoraphobia
Trouble sleeping
Not being able to function because you're so distracted by the feeling that nothing exists
"Am I really me? Is this body me?"
Overly anxious
Panic attacks
People thinking it's a funny quirky thing, not knowing it consumes every bit of you
using your phone or laptop as a distraction from existing
Feeling numb
Struggling with eye contact
Being restless in crowded places
“starving yourself won’t make you happy”
sorry a girl just wants to wear her slutty little top and shorts
If fasting isn't really your thing but look for advice/tips with dealing with your £d, this is your post.
For reference, I usually aim to eat around 1K cals in a day, because then I can still function. While the urge is there, I try not to give in and get worse. I'm not really strict with myself and eat just about whatever, as long as I stay under my calorie limit.
I usually don't have breakfast (I'm not really a morning person and I don't feel hungry), but if I do, I try to go as low call as possible or make it nutritious. A safe meal is usually a fried egg and half an avocado.
If I had breakfast, I tend to skip lunch. If I didn't and I'm having a break between my classes, I like to have tomato soup, or a sandwich. If I'm still home, I decide between something light/nutritious (like the eggs and avocado) or something bigger.
This is usually my biggest meal of the day, of around 600 cals. Obv the lower the better, but I look at how much I already ate that day. If I didn't have too many calories and also moved, I feel like I earned a bigger dinner and don't feel as self concious. I usually just calculate at how many cals there is in the food and how many I allow myself to still eat that day.
while I'm not necessarily heavy on the thigh gap, I'm dying to have thin legs. I need my bones to show.
Hearing someone else say "I'm not hungry" while I'm eating floods me with guilt and kills my appetite. Every time.
why do my parents have to love food so much
Now remember, sugar is your worst enemy
REAL, I randomly stop studying just to scroll on tumblr and look through the tags. I also had a phase at some pointwhere I'd be like "it's ok to neglect my studies for a bit. I can't be stupid AND ugly."
does anyone else’s ED severely impact their academics? and not just in an “@na brain” way?
i mean instead of studying or doing online assignments i’m obsessively consuming media related to weight loss/food/dieting.
i feel guilty when i sit down to study or do schoolwork because “i could be burning calories exercising right now.”
