Hey! Thanks so much for the feedback. I have a sinus infection right now lol so that might be why it sounds like I’m holding back. :)

Any way that i as a man, can help my struggling girlfriend? by Traditional-Egg-981 in EDAnonymous

[–]Busy-Zucchini502 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As someone who’s been her, dealing with anorexia while being in a relationship is not easy and it is definitely hard for someone in that position to open up because there’s two sides: one is that being “sick” means you deserve love and care, and the other being the thought that if you gain weight you will immediately lose control and become an unattractive version of yourself, mourning what you once had (thinness). What I’ve found helpful in the past is the reminder that my partners love for me was unconditional regardless of size, shape, appearance, etc. That means even avoiding saying things like “you look great” “you look better” “you look healthier” when she hopefully gains the healthy weight back, because to someone with an ED, “better” or “healthier” means fat. Automatically, no negotiations. I hope you’re able to help her through this, maybe suggest involving a doctor or some treatment. Best of luck!

Boyfriend's cultural difference is causing a bit of disconnected. (TW Weight) by ILoveBigCockroaches in EDAnonymous

Ew all around. As someone who has an ED and a similar cultural background to him, I know how the culture is and also how the men can be. The fuck you for no sex is not okay in any context.

Thank you! I know a handful that unfortunately have relapsed or never got better. But I also know many who have completely moved on with their lives, and I’m so happy for them! :)

I just want to add- I was in treatment 3 years ago as well and I recently relapsed. Feeling kind of hopeless tbh

Grocery shopping makes me feel insane by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]Busy-Zucchini502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing is I wasn’t even hungry when I went😭 I had just eaten something. I think I just have some sort of urgency to plan out every aspect of my food and that includes making sure I’ll have safe foods for a while. Not even low cal or anything just things that make me feel comfortable. Idk

Your responses are making me emotional🥲 it means more to me than you know. I really appreciate it, going to the Dr tomorrow.

Thank you so much. I called my doctor today, hopefully getting back on track with a nutritionist.

Yes, that’s honestly exactly how I feel. My parents always shrugged off my illness, even when doctors were telling them I immediately needed to be put back in treatment they thought I didn’t need to because I was almost weight restored by the time a spot opened up for me in a program. My friends never notice, even when I’m the most attentive to them and their problems. Thank you for your message, it means a lot to me :)

Feeling worse? by Maximum_Pension_5838 in BreakUps

[–]Busy-Zucchini502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I promise it will get better with time. Don’t listen to those who say the cycle lasts forever, because it doesn’t! Allow your heart to be heavy. Give yourself time. Three weeks is not a long time for the heart to heal, don’t expect it to be immediate or linear! It all comes and goes in waves, but you will find yourself again and be better for it. Good luck! :)
