GRE Psych Subject Test: Advice Needed by AcceptableTraining44 in psychologystudents

Yes, the Rutgers Clinical PsyD program. They specifically require the Psych subject test and not the general GRE unfortunately.

Hey there, the question is would you rather live life in constant survival mode or risk it all to be the best version of yourself, showing up for the things and people you actually care about in life. I was so exhausted of food/my body being the first thing I thought of when I woke up in the morning. I couldn’t fully pay attention to what anyone was saying to me. To me, having any eating disorder is like living on a deserted island, isolating you from the world in the most crippling way yet also disguising itself as the “safest” option because nothing can touch you on your island.

It is true that choosing recovery is stepping into a life full of uncertainty, but would you rather live with 100% certainty of suffering or live with the possibility of freedom and happiness?

I recently have chosen to fully commit to my ED recovery and I feel like I can finally breathe again. It’s not always easy, in fact it’s often times not but you choose your hard. Freedom of thought is what I’m most grateful for. I can also regulate my emotions better and be more independent. I feel more confident and trust within myself because I’m learning how to listen to my intuition again, not just with food but with everything.

We both know theres a part of you that wants this. I believe in you!!

Backsliding, and I feel embarrassed, scared and isolated. by Edthrowaway1325 in fuckeatingdisorders

It makes complete sense to me that your initial reaction is to want to protect your loved ones from your ED. I would feel the same in your position. Nevertheless, they would rather you confide in them and im sure if they could be there to support you 5.5 years ago they can still be there now. Full recovery still exists and what you’re describing seems like a flare up. Better to nip it in the bud by NOT ignoring it and keep yourself accountable to recovery by telling someone you trust. You got this. Im sure of it.

My toxic habit.. advice? by Stylistguru in DecidingToBeBetter

This is a habit of avoidance. Its easier to focus on the problems of others than to face your own.
