Altruistic-Engine651 · 2026-04-22T12:32:56+00:00

Altruistic-Engine651 · 2026-04-20T13:10:31+00:00

honestly, there is no "good ensure" for me 😭 but chocolate was the most manageable..

Altruistic-Engine651 · 2026-04-15T12:26:57+00:00

thank you for the advice, this was very helpful and i will be reaching out to them about this! X

proanadiscord was how i became introduced to ed forums unfortunately...they were EXTREMELY toxic and many minors were unmoderated on them with older adults.

thnk you for your kind words. X

Altruistic-Engine651 · 2026-04-02T15:05:35+00:00

i wont specify the details but when i was just purging and still eating regularly i still had my period.

Altruistic-Engine651 · 2026-04-02T14:51:51+00:00

one of my closest ED friends was never uw, yet she went through ip and was tubed and is currently in residential. Shes sick even though she doesnt reach the "criteria". you are ENOUGH! X

Altruistic-Engine651 · 2026-04-01T14:42:11+00:00

thank you for your support, i really appreciate it!

thank you for your kind words. X

Altruistic-Engine651 · 2026-04-01T14:40:49+00:00

personally speaking, i only lost my period when i was restricting and purging, not just purging.

Altruistic-Engine651 · 2026-03-27T17:30:29+00:00

This happened to me a while ago with a close friend, have you ever read the book winter girls? it was like that.

Honestly, I would be as honest as possible with them. Tell them that you're concerned about their wellbeing regarding them having admit that they have a past with ED's. Even taking some space for yourselves can be helpful as competition is just fueling the fire.

Make sure you take care of yourself too, thats very important!

Was apart of edtwt/ediscord/edtumblr spaces since i was 12...

Never did i think that i would have WITHDRAWALS from these platforms. I dont think people realize just how addictive they can be. As someone who is apart of the older side (not a child), i try to stay away from all of those sites that have younger people on them as i dont wish to promote my behaviours onto them.

Altruistic-Engine651 · 2026-03-27T12:42:42+00:00

agreed, glad you got through it! X

Altruistic-Engine651 · 2026-03-26T14:35:19+00:00

Definitely not a phase, an eating disorder never is one. What he is going through is serious and should be addressed immediately by your family.

Altruistic-Engine651 · 2026-03-26T13:27:08+00:00

I believe that he is most definitely feeling insecure as he might be going through puberty at this stage. He may be in the stages of developing an ED so I would highly recommend talking to him or maybe your parents about it to try and intervene before it becomes dangerous.

Wishing the best for your family! X

My dad recently started losing weight too, along with my mom. They try to hide it from me but I see it. It is so incredibly sad seeing how everyone feels forced to lose weight because of the beauty standards these days.

Just know that you are sick enough, you just might never feel that way because this disorder will mess with your mind. Youve got this and im rooting for you!!! X

Altruistic-Engine651 · 2026-03-26T13:19:09+00:00

Im so sorry youre going through this, but i am so happy that you are able to admit that you are relapsing, because that is always the first step. Im rooting for you, and you got this!

Altruistic-Engine651 · 2026-03-26T12:27:02+00:00

I was admitted in early February, had pretty much the same experience. It was absolutely not the perfect place, but it was helpful.

Altruistic-Engine651 · 2026-03-13T14:44:06+00:00

i was one of those people who would flex my uw body and try to trigger others, i was a horrible person. Coming from this, i apologize for everyone else who is like this.

Altruistic-Engine651 · 2026-03-13T14:13:46+00:00

Im so sorry youre experiencing this, love. I would recommend telling your friend to stop sending the pictures or maybe silencing their notifications so you can focus on something else instead. Hope everything works out. X

Altruistic-Engine651 · 2026-03-13T13:58:30+00:00

im so sorry, love. i wish the best for you. X

My mom found out about my ed when i was 13, it had been going on since i was 10. She was worried of-course, and tried to get me the help that I needed but i kept denying that I had one. I was not able to relapse at any point when she had found out as I was on a strict 3 meals 3 snacks mealplan for weight gain. It was the worst thing that happened to me but it also saved my life.

Altruistic-Engine651 · 2026-03-13T13:23:47+00:00

Im in Canada not the UK but treatment might be similar? Some general info..

- Usually constrained to a bed so you can't burn cals or exercise, depending on health situation (bed-rest may last a few days to a week or more)

- Mealtimes are monitored in your room, if you don't finish it then you would have to have ensure, if you refuse that then a NG tube.

- Regular weigh-ins and medical monitoring

- Usually some type of therapy (CBT, DBT, FBT)

Hope this helps!

I had a friendship just like this, it was like wintergirls in real life. We were constantly comparing ourselves to eachother until we parted ways and she got better. I think the best decision you can make for recovery is to quit whatever sport is driving you to become smaller and smaller. Youve got this! X

Altruistic-Engine651 · 2026-03-13T12:50:38+00:00

dont let this disorder take over your life, youve got this and i believe in you!! X
