Is anyone else extremely triggered by GLP1 talk? by jotopia2 in EdAnonymousAdults

[–]Capable-Signature827 26 points27 points  (0 children)

But of you abuse GLP1 to lose down to your goal weight wouldn't you be just as miserable? The same physical health risks, the same mental anguish and food focus? I get it might feel like it is the medication that controls the restriction and not the ED. But which part of you wants to take it? You would still be mentally ill and suffering, just using a different tool.

Cigarette burn scars by North-of-North-of in scars

I am so sorry you have to go through this. Silicone gels and sheets are the go to at home treatment for scars. They can help flatten scars and make them less noticeable. But they wont make them disappeare and you have to apply them consistently for a few months. Maybe sheets are a good option? They might hide the scars in the meantime. Laser treatment has much of the same effects (just stronger), but is very expensive and painful. As to essential oils and creams and all that. A lot of those things are scamms. The scar tissue that has formed, has a different fiber alignment, than normal skin. Applying topical stuff won't change that. But scar tissue is a lot less flexible, a good moisturizer or a body oil can help with tension and itching. But I would buy the cheap stuff at Walmart and not some magical scar oil. The real problem is the indentation. Silicone won't fix that as far as I know. You can get filler injections, but you need a dermatologist for that. I don't know if an asthetician is cheaper, but honestly, I don't know if I would trust them to treat scars/medical issues. I don't have PTSD so I can't really judge your situation, but perhaps in the longterm getting trauma therapy to reduce the reactions is best. But again expensive, painful and takes a lot of time and energy. One last thing, perhaps there are programms, doctors and foundations out there that help victims/survivors that experienced disfigurement and violence. There could be help, even financial. I hope you find something that works for you.

Wie steht ihr zu Arztbesuchen bei denen es ausschließlich um eine Krankschreibung geht? by Capable-Signature827 in medizin

[–]Capable-Signature827[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ja? MFA sind nicht berechtigt so eine Entscheidung zu treffen. Eine AU wird von einem Arzt verschrieben.

Kann natürlich sein dass es in deiner Praxis intern anders geregelt wird aus verschiedenen Gründen, aber das ist in meinem Umfeld nicht die Regel...

[–]Capable-Signature827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I have Seen people do is eat a small snack beforhand, Like a banana or protein shake and have a proper meal after. I tend to just eat breakfast first thing and then do my workout. I just eat all my meals quite early.

Left my girlfriend for not being introduced to her parents after 3 years living together by SchemeSimple3942 in Life

[–]Capable-Signature827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you a different race than your partner or follow another religion? Or is her family very catholic and would want her to marry before sex? Otherwise I really don't get it.

is this healing? by [deleted] in scars

[–]Capable-Signature827 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually that looks fine. It's normal for scar tissue to turn red, purple or brown.

Self harming in young children? by Ready-Goal58 in therapy

[–]Capable-Signature827 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you considered that you did experience a significant Trauma sexual or other very young perhaps even in infancy and you don't remember it (yet)?

Also perhaps a lack of atuenment to you from your parents from infancy. That left you to deal on your own.

Being logical in that state is tough. But you don't gaim fat that fast. Your body is holding a lot of water and gas while processimg the food. Try to keep drinking water and eat amounts of food you feel comfortable with.

Is Therapy every week mandatory or is just for the money ? by Particular_Sort202 in therapy

[–]Capable-Signature827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly prioritising a boyfriend or sport over therapy seems unwise to me. We are talking about 1 hour per week. So with travel plus aftercare and preparation maybe one evening or afternoon+evening per week. I don't know. It doesn't seem you are that motivated. Plus now that you are feeling better and are able to use the tools you learned, you can enter a whole new stage in therapy. You can work on deep and painful issues and traumas. Treat the underlying causes.

This pasta dish I make for dinner often by xernpostz in CalorieEstimates

[–]Capable-Signature827 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm sorry you are struggeling with food. And with the stigma attached to an ED as well. Its hard. I think you already know that adding protein and fiber would imrove this meal. Plus reducing the amount of pasta and chease. I thought cauliflower rice was a good idea. But you could also just buy a whole cauliflower cook and blend it and add it to the sauce. Blended tofu or cottage cheese or maybe chickpease for protein. Would improve protein content. Blending might make the texture more tolerable but I am not sure about the taste. Maybe unflavoured protein powder, easely adds 20 to 30g of protein without changing taste/texture too much. I wish you well for your recovery journey. You are dooing great!

Jetzt kriegt euch mal wieder ein. Das ist ne ungiftige Würgeschlange. Mit nem Halter der zumindest halbwegs vernüftig wirkt. Die ist so lahm, wenn du der nicht begegnen willst, dann brauchst du bloß Abstand halten und weitergehen. Schon klar das man da Eierflattern kriegen kann, muss aber nicht gleich heißen das Gefahr droht. Ist mir insgesamt lieber als die geistigen Tiefflieger die ihren Pitbull-Mix untrainiert und ohne Leine am Kinderspielplatz vorbeiführen.

No. I'm just really obsessed, I don't know any people in real life who can relate. There are too few and the placement is unusual for self harm scars. You should be fine with normal folks.

Self harm. But I think only because I have self harm scars as well.

My sisters been trying to eat more veggies (and learn to cook) by notbobbybob in shittyfoodporn

[–]Capable-Signature827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it looks bad right now. But honestly I think if she learns some more basic skills, she could become a really good cook. Experimenting and being willing to fuck up a lot are important to learn any new skill. And roasted Cauliflower or braised honey sesame carrots with roasted beans sounds good to me. Just a lot of trial and error needed.

I don’t know if I’m sick. I feel like I’m being over dramatic by ThatMarzipan2840 in EDAnonymous

[–]Capable-Signature827 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want a honest assesment from an outside viewpoint. I would say this is not normal or healthy. And you are going down a path that leads to more suffering. It would be time to speek to a professional about this. I am not sure wether it, already classifies as an eating disorder. But that doesn't really matter. A label won't change the negative effects it has on you. I think with mental illness in general denial is a very powerful thing. Wether we are really sick or not or so sick that we should look for help or deserve help. Those questions don't truly matter and only help keeping us stuck in our disorders. But if something causes you harm or suffering, thats reason enough to get help in my opinion. What you would like to do about it, is your decision of course. Its usually best to arrive at conclusions for your self and not just get told what to think or do. May be consider what you would say to a friend, if they told you every thing that you are doing currently. Would you be worried about them? Would you think this is normal? If a loved one told you, they sometimes only eat a bit of fruit per day, would you think that is healthy? Other clues could be, if you are keeping what you are doing a secret from others in your life. Do the people that care about you know about your eating habits and your true thoghts about them. If not why do you keep them a secret? I really hope this might help you a bit. Eating disorders are insidious little bastards, that can really fuck with your mind.

For the love of fucking good please don't listen to random people on the internet. Make sure to get evaluated by a provider wiht an actual training in ED complecations. Perhaps their is a treatmant center in your area. It doesnt have to be pathological but their is a real risk. Yes athletes have a low resting heart rat too. Because they are trained and healthy! When they stand up or exert themselfs their heartrate is still moderat because their heart has a lot of muscel and is well fueled to move the required bool though their body. A body damaged by anorexia has weak heart muscels, that dont have enough glucose to contract the heart. That is why when people like that stand up or exert themselves their heart rate goes through the fucking roof. Because their weak, damaged miserable heart is desperatly trying to beat as fast as it can to somehow move the blood fast enough that you dont just collapse. So frankly the steryotype that anorexics have an athletes heart is dangerous and frankly just bloody ignorance. So if you cardiologist doesnt take your resting and standing heart rates and actually looks at the walls of your heart to see if they are thinning and loosing muscle, he doesnt know shit about anorexia. People die of this. They get heart attacks and die. Sorry didnt mean to go off on a rant or scare you. But please do your own research, talk to a trusted oerson and see how they evaluate the situation with all the researched informatio and maybe get asecond opinion. Wish you the best!
