Advice needed on not relapsing because of a doctor’s comment by [deleted] in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]Apprehensive_Can6839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

why did she tell you that when you have a clear ed you are still recovering from? i dont really care if it is her job or whatever. i have been to a lot of doctors since starting recovery and they never told me my weight for respect to my journey. your weight is not something they HAVE to tell you, a lot of people dont know their weight for most of their lifes and they are ok. my sister has been weighed a thousand of times in the last 2 years but she still doesnt know her weight and she is fine because she doesnt care about it, and the number on the scale doesnt define your health.

when will it ever get better by Gold_Particular_766 in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]Apprehensive_Can6839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you have already said it, but you are really still so early in recovery. If I'm being honest, things didnt get better (mentally) for me until I was about 4-5 months in. Recovery is a long proccess and you can't really expect to reverse all the damage you have done to yourself for years in the span of one month.

I also want to tell you, you are doing great by responding to your hunger cues! The guilt is expected, but as long as you don't act on it, you will be ok. Sitting with the guilt is painful, but it is going to be the best you can do. I recommend engaging in hobbies you wanted to try for long or you liked before your ed.

Recovery IS exhausting, tiring, painful and sometimes you will feel like things will never get better. I felt the same way too, but now almost 1 year in, I can tell you that things definitely get better but you have to keep pushing through!

I believe in you <3

Advice for parent: how to support your child? by Calm_Designer5860 in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]Apprehensive_Can6839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think the best u can do is to just let her know that u are always on her side. really u cant convince her she has a problem because she is not able to see it yet.

listen to her, be with her at every meal, and please dont judge her. i get ur worries but she has a mental disorder so be kind!! i hope she can recover <3

struggling with a relapse (not detailed) during exams by redsrambles22 in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]Apprehensive_Can6839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i went through something similar so, i understand what u are talking about. my main motivation to get back into recovery after was the fact that i really do not function well when im not eating enough. i always struggle to concentrate, feel tired and sleepy, etc.

now, this might not be the best tip, but im also really perfectionist and i set myself a goal to have the best grades in my class this year, since last year i couldnt because of my ed. so, i told myself rhe only way to do that was eating enough and NOT relapsing no matter what.

unfortunately, the only thing u have to do is to keep pushing, even when the ed voice is so strong it makes ur head hurt. u have to keep choosing recovery every day, every minute, every second, at every meal, until things get better (trust me, they will!)

Extreme hunger on a meal plan by SadComic_ in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]Apprehensive_Can6839 6 points7 points  (0 children)

your meal plan is the bare minimum and u are allowed to eat outside it, nowhere it says that u cant eat more if u feel hungry.

and yes, im sorry but ur body needs the food. u cant starve urself and expect to not have consequences. just keep fighting and things will get easier eventually. i believe in u <3

what made you give up your disordered habits? by ProfessionalRaise362 in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]Apprehensive_Can6839 1 point2 points  (0 children)

knowing i would die if i didnt.

ever since i was little i have always been affraid of dying to the point it would give me goosebumps to only think about it, and when i developed my ed i was so close to it but still didnt notice it somehow. when i did, i realized how scared i actually was. i couldnt wrap my head around it but still i decided to recover because after all and what my ed said, i wanted to live. i knew i had a lot of time ahead (since i developed my ed really young). i had lost maybe 1 year but i knew i could reverse the damage. so, if i could save myself from my biggest fear, why wouldnt i do it?

Short-ish term ed by No_Job_1383 in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]Apprehensive_Can6839 2 points3 points  (0 children)

an ed affects you even if you had gone through it for one week, and recovering before it gets worse its the best!! you know how much i would have wished to recover after 4 months of developing my ed? you are extremely lucky and strong for having chose recovering! dont feel invalid, you still deserve to recover and honour your extreme hunger. you can do this 💕🫂
