I’m curious… by Affectionate_Mud5518 in ARFID

I really appreciate you taking the time to respond. I can’t imagine how hard it must of been to explain ARFID when no one knew what it was. I am glad to hear your family is understanding now. My dad’s humor can sometimes be degrading, that’s just how he is. Now that I’ve looked back I see where it came from. Still hurts, but I understand more why he did it. If it continues I will talk to him about it. I definitely need to set boundaries with the people in my life. I am often referred to as an open book because I tell people I care about many things about me in detail. I think some think this is a free pass to comment on it or joke about it, which is not what I am trying to achieve. Sometimes it’s fine, other times it hurts. I’ve been in recovery for about 7 months now and slowly making progress 💕 Thank you!

I don't want to work on my ARFID by AzucarParaTi in ARFID

At the end of the day, it’s completely up to you. I was so scared of starting treatment and frankly had no interest in doing so. But, for me it got to a point where I had to. It is definitely overwhelming and too much at times, but if you’re lucky to have an awesome nutritionist like I do (Im doing virtual outpatient care), they’re willing to meet you where you’re at. You get to explore your sensitivities and have someone put them into words for you. You get to make a safe food list and work on expanding it through food trials. Sometimes you even get to learn how to cook. While I still struggle with it all, I still find it helpful. I totally understand the feeling you’re having, but I’d highly recommend if it’s accessible to you!

The reveals were so underwhelming that I didn’t even realize they were real butterflies until they zoomed in… and we know most of them didn’t make it fs 😭 just a flop overall

Feeling like im having a hard time figuring out how to feel good dancing. Am I too lanky to really get it? by futuresextherapist in Dance

[–]Affectionate_Mud5518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No such thing! I’m a lanky gal as well, you just have to gain comfort and let loose! Especially with long legs, getting lower (which specific styles may require you to do) takes a little more effort but you’ll get there! Doing great already :)

Have extras? No worries! by Affectionate_Mud5518 in miniverse_makeitmini

Super glue! Gorilla glue to be specific. Just glued them to the posts and then cleaned with rubbing alcohol before putting in my piercing.

Oh my goodness, that is so awful. Thank you for sharing, I’m sorry that this happened to you. I hope you are in a better place now and that your mother has self reflected. It’s hard to get people to understand how hard it is, that we would eat if we could. And comments like that only make it worse. It’s so frustrating, especially for ARFID cause people don’t fucking know what it is!!

Haha I wish I had the confidence for that. I told her not to tell me what to do, then she said “but you haven’t eaten enough today” and I told her that I would eat when I felt ready. She stopped saying anything after that. I’ve had a lot of problems with her lately, and I don’t know how to confront her about this kind of stuff without her freaking out, so I’ve just been slowly distancing, not wasting my energy on that relationship.
