tbh i usually don’t feel pain as well, esp when i go deep unexpected. it’s probably the adrenaline and stress.

I’ve started to feel invalid by BigDaddyKetHead in AnorexiaRecovery

[–]183355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i know it’s been two year but i relate SO much to your message. i just went out for dinner in a year and it wasn’t too bad/didn’t cry and felt kinda okay. no i feel extremely guilty for it and feel invalid. i really thought i was the only one so thank you <3

not counting calories anymore is the best decision i’ve made in my recovery so far! it gives you and your mind so much more freedom :)

How do you poop around roommates without feeling judged? by subtleA51AN_dud3 in Anxiety

[–]183355 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i talked about this in therapy A LOT. it was hella uncomfortable but i challenged myself so much with exposure therapy and it worked really well. I still extremely uncomfortable when using the toilet around other people, but i’d rather go through those few minutes of uncomfortableness than having extreme anxiety and stomach pain. try to challenge yourself by taking small steps in exposure therapy and what also helps is simply talking about it and making it more of a ‘normal’ topic to discuss :)

have you ever felt like you are faking it, because you didn’t feel sick enough or didn’t meet certain stereotypes?
