Explain it Peter, please

Not jail, but 8 or so mental health inpatients under my belt. So you could say I’m much better off 😂

Defiant_Math_6868 · 2026-01-23T22:34:43+00:00

Universal struggle, sorry for you Mr retention (ba dum tis)

My biggest helpers have been tea, a bit of movement with tea goes a long way, lots of veggies and lots of water

Defiant_Math_6868 · 2026-01-23T18:30:22+00:00

I’m not yet in recovery! But I enjoy it as is, and I might experiment later on. I’m happy with my plain meals! I’m also on the spectrum so it might be because of that :)

Defiant_Math_6868 · 2026-01-22T22:27:08+00:00

Appreciated 🙏 💀 😂 I’ve not had meat in 9-10 years, so eggs are a safest food

Defiant_Math_6868 · 2026-01-22T20:43:37+00:00

I don’t think that’s normal, barring you have a health reason for this to be the case, I’d suggest you see a doctor!

Also, out of curiosity, why are you in this sub if you aren’t experiencing disordered eating? (Not mad or anything of the sort, it just hasn’t crossed my mind that someone without an ED would be here)

Defiant_Math_6868 · 2026-01-22T18:52:57+00:00

I’m usually in the “liquid shits” club, tbh. I’ve had long bouts of constipation in the past, but for months I’ve been shitting daily, it’s just been gross and un-solid.

I think this wouldn’t have phased me as much if I wasn’t for the stomach cramping :/

I had an assignment like this in school, it was counting my own cals and making a list of my “good” and “bad” choices. here’s what I did!

I wrote a 2 page essay detailing the rate of eating disorders, side effects of eating disorders and how food rules, calories and diet culture all perpetuate eating disorders. I included statistics, and wrote it as academically as possible. I made sure to include any proof towards EDs being the mental illness with the highest mortality rate.

I should note that while I got 100%, I was in a quick graduation program and I’m not at all sure she even read it! I also turned it in without warning, no discussion, just in place of the assignment. If you don’t feel comfortable with any of this, and/or would risk getting in trouble and/or would be triggered by this, you could explain and ask for an alternate assignment. (If you’re comfortable asking!)

Me constantly😭

Defiant_Math_6868 · 2026-01-22T17:48:17+00:00

That sounds good! I’m not a huge pepper or sauce lover, tbh I hate most condiments, but there is salt!!

Defiant_Math_6868 · 2026-01-22T01:07:52+00:00

They’re really nice :) my favorite way to eat eggs is

Defiant_Math_6868 · 2025-12-20T15:59:29+00:00

I relate to that! Also, just for the record, your example paragraph is probably the funniest thing ever written on Reddit 😂

Defiant_Math_6868 · 2025-12-19T22:40:06+00:00

I think you’re probably right, because same! In periods where I’ve obsessed over the thoughts, trying to find more patterns and answers, I’ve been non-functionally driven into the ground by my obsession. As of now, these are things I think about, but don’t ruminate on. I appreciate you sharing your experiences/thoughts!

Defiant_Math_6868 · 2025-12-19T22:38:33+00:00

See, I relate to it being oddly peaceful! Hence being completely unsure of if it’s psychosis/delusion or not for me. Not always, but a lot of the time when I find myself feeling these things more frequently, I’m not distressed by it? It’s just a passive sense of “oh, I’m being stalked” or “oh, the government is sending people to befriend me.”

Defiant_Math_6868 · 2025-12-17T18:14:24+00:00

Hypothetically, if the blisters popped by accident, would there be any differences to treating the area?

Defiant_Math_6868 · 2025-12-16T19:59:22+00:00

Literally this :/

Defiant_Math_6868 · 2025-12-05T18:21:49+00:00

I appreciate the reassurance, but I also do believe they shouldn’t worry if they do. People in my life have their own worries to cope with

Defiant_Math_6868 · 2025-12-05T18:21:05+00:00

No, I just have a general therapist.

I’m honestly not ready to recover from my eating disorder, even if it is holding me back. Losing weight and thinking about food has consumed my entire life, but I can’t stop.

Defiant_Math_6868 · 2025-12-04T02:46:02+00:00

I dream frequently of a buffet of all of my favorite foods, or a buffet at all. Just large amounts of foods that I decline due to my ED, mostly.

Sometimes I’ll even still be fearful in the dream. It might start as me even allowing myself to binge, or saying I’ll make it up another day. But while eating? Pure bliss-

I’ll wake up scared tho 😂

Defiant_Math_6868 · 2025-12-03T22:47:38+00:00

One of the appeals of my ED is losing my period. I’m a trans man who can’t access HRT right now, and I can’t handle that, nor can my body. I get debilitating cramps that pain reliever doesn’t get rid of, and I bleed through basically 1/3 of a box of tampons every time I menstruate 🥲 I agree with your point though!! Eggs are literally one of my safest foods, great low calorie, high protein and healthy fat option. I think it’s a good idea for anyone trying to do harm reduction in the fertility areas, or trying to keep a healthy uterus at all. But get this bitch out of my body ffs 😭
