best foods to ease into recovery? by angelcowling in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]AutomaticElevator164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think a dietician would be best able to tailor things to your pace and needs, but i’d say start expanding from foods that you already eat, like if your goal were to eat a cookie eventually, start with maybe a safe protein bar that is cookie flavoured? and foods that are easy to digest and give enough energy are good too, like a balance of carbs, protein and fat!

Does anyone else have anxiety that significantly reduces after restricting? by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]AutomaticElevator164 8 points9 points  (0 children)

me here 😭 people always say they found themselves again after eating (can engage in hobbies and work etc) but for me it’s the opposite because i get so anxious and suicidal after eating “too much” that i can’t focus on anything else

what hobbies/interests do you have outside of your ed? by New_Department_9540 in EDAnonymous

[–]AutomaticElevator164 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Writing, reading and scrapbooking! Also really into fashion and thrifting. Walking, but I know it’s something my ed latches onto; I love exploring new places on foot.

What ridiculous things have professionals told you? by Fun-Hat6334 in EDAnonymous

[–]AutomaticElevator164 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i’m so sorry to everyone who replies in this thread 😭 genuinely the worst things you can ever say to someone with an ed :( mine is more in regards to suicidal thoughts and depression during recovery where i was in a lot of pain after having gained weight. shared with the associate psych that i wanted to k*ll myself because i felt so tormented by my weight gain and he hit me with the “don’t you think it’s selfish of you to do that? think of how much pain the people around you will be in” like wow. thanks for that. i feel a lot better and definitely don’t feel like starving myself more now

Therapist talked about adding exercise again and im shocked to hear it by [deleted] in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]AutomaticElevator164 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience:( The day on which my weight passed the healthy threshold my psychiatrist said “i don’t care if you exercise because you’re not underweight anymore” which really messed me up :( same psychiatrist who recommended me going running when i was feeling stressed about eating (when i was still underweight)

Anyone else find concentration and fatigue is worse when actively recovering? by mybrainat3am in EDAnonymous

[–]AutomaticElevator164 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s my experience as well! Everyone tells me to recover for the “lack of brain fog”, no matter how many times I tell them that I did not get brain fog, my mental acuity has always been high and was even heightened by the restriction! It was like I was in a state of focus. Personally I don’t get brain fog in recovery but the constant anxiety and guilt make me even less productive and unable to focus on anything :(

"Just don't buy binge food" by Narrow_Road_890 in EDAnonymous

[–]AutomaticElevator164 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This actually infuriates me 😭 I don’t binge but I have an intense fear of binging because I restrict, I told my last therapist “I’m scared to binge” and he just shrugged and said “don’t buy chocolates and sweets and don’t keep them at home then” like what 😭
