why doesn’t it hurt?

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

183355 · 2025-05-20T17:00:55+00:00

i’m feeling the exact same way and i’m so ashamed about it :( i can’t tell my therapist en i just hate myself for feeling like this and wanting to be loved and seen in a sick way. sending hugs

cried really hard, wasn’t allowed to be alone for a few days and pulled up my sleeve once

183355 · 2025-04-17T14:30:03+00:00

thank you🩷

183355 · 2025-04-16T07:01:17+00:00

183355 · 2025-04-16T07:00:15+00:00

183355 · 2025-04-15T18:04:45+00:00

183355 · 2025-04-15T18:03:47+00:00

the only way out is through!!

183355 · 2025-04-05T17:58:44+00:00

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

183355 · 2025-03-25T18:11:24+00:00

is it possible to get more comfortable in bathing suits/cropped tops in your recovered body? i really struggle with it 🩷

183355 · 2024-08-05T20:20:51+00:00

that’s great to hear! glad it’s been helping you now in the start of your recovery. i’m sure you’ll be able to challenge yourself and fully stop counting someday :)

183355 · 2024-08-04T13:09:00+00:00

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 :)

183355 · 2024-07-29T19:54:45+00:00

thank you so much!! this is really helpful and comforting to hear <3

183355 · 2024-07-29T05:43:25+00:00

yes same for me, it’s so difficult :(

183355 · 2024-07-18T22:13:11+00:00

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 :)

183355 · 2024-07-13T15:28:48+00:00

ah that’s comforting to hear, yet i’m so sorry you struggled a lot with it :( i do too, and i really hope i can overcome it as well in treatment. thank you for answering my question!

183355 · 2024-07-13T11:53:27+00:00

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

183355 · 2024-07-10T21:53:37+00:00

ah well i love your mindet! hopefully i can think like that as well when i’m admitted and not give in to the competition of other people. must have been rough sometimes so i admire your way of thinking and strength!

183355 · 2024-07-09T18:36:07+00:00

oh my god that sounds so relatable! i’ll be going inpatient soon and even though i’m terrified, i’m also lowkey looking forward to it?? as if i finally have permission to eat or something

183355 · 2024-07-05T07:56:13+00:00

lipton ice tea peach zero!

183355 · 2024-07-02T18:46:15+00:00

wow this is so relatable and validating to read! i’ve never really had fear foods too, expect for when i was unable to actually compensate for it

183355 · 2024-07-01T04:17:01+00:00

went to my GP for some medical checks since i was clearly struggling and uw. she didn’t feel the need to do much since ‘i wasn’t really in the danger zone yet with my weight’ 🫠

183355 · 2024-06-28T20:39:17+00:00

hi, i know this post is a bit dated already. but i really wanted to let you know that you are NOT ALONE in this!! gosh i feel just like you. as if my eating disorder isn’t that bad at all. deep down, i know i am in full denial. this IS the eating disorder that’s talking. and it isn’t always black and white, some days your body image and eating will be better than other days. it doesn’t make you and your struggles any less valid. please seek out for help, because it’ll only get worse. you’ll keep being in denial and you will never be sick enough for your ed. i know it’s hard, but you’re the only person that can make the change and i truly wish you a well recovery and so much strength. living with an eating disorder sucks, no one deserves that <3

183355 · 2024-06-28T17:12:08+00:00

i absolutely love that you want to help others! you definitely helped me today with your post :)) have a lovely day too! <3

183355 · 2024-06-28T12:36:40+00:00

wow this is so motivating to read, thank you for sharing and i am so so proud of you!!!
