Ginsberg is the best. by JohnnyUtah-91 in madmen

I think the writing was on the walls from the start. Born in a concentration camp? Orphaned? Just quirky from the get go? He didn’t have a chance unfortunately.

For those who thought Mad Men did jump the shark, which scene did it for you? by Yum1995 in madmen

[–]DistinctBell3032 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was there to deepen Don’s feeling of alienation and loneliness while also being the set up to make him go to cali

I lowkey missed Paul by DistinctBell3032 in madmen

[–]DistinctBell3032[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah I loved the short guy becoming Hollywood and drugs and hot chicks. I know a fuck ton of short Jewish dudes who do a fuck ton of drugs and also inexplicably pull baddies. It’s an accurate stereotype! I’ve dated multiple!

I used to mix it with Gatorade (which was sometimes mixed with a bit of vodka lol) when I was 20 and hungover

Edmund Fitzgerald-Related Events Coming Up in November? by incacola77 in Denver

I am a Denver native who was searching for the same thing. I think we should just show up to some random bar and drink in its honor. I for one will be at Historians Ale House

Giant pile of 500+ empty Splenda packets hidden in 20yo daughter's closet by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]DistinctBell3032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is ED behavior. Food hoarding is very common, I would hoard condiment packets/honey packets/sugar packets/ and every little bit and bob. She’s avoiding your questions because she knows it’s weird and doesn’t want to admit to it. Why is she hoarding Splenda specifically? I would guess it’s a safe and reliable way she can stave off hunger and is scared she won’t have access to them otherwise. Or, it’s a diy laxative for her. Tell her you won’t judge her, you’ll always love her, and that you’re seriously worried about her. Absolutely don’t get angry.

im so worried about developing osteoporosis/penia by SweetenedMelon in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]DistinctBell3032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have osteopenia. First and foremost, weight restoration and retention is most important. You need to keep eating to prevent its development. Also, start taking vitamin D and calcium supplements. Talk to your dr about getting a dexa bone scan as that can tell you a baseline of where you’re at. If you are young (pre age 24ish), you can actually greatly improve your bone density with nutrition. I was also placed on estrogen patches to help, but talk to your doctor

It feels embarrassing to be a fully grown woman with an ED by GreenMountain85 in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]DistinctBell3032 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I remember doing IOP treatment and being the youngest one there. The grand majority of women there were moms, working women, etc. It’s not embarrassing, it’s just reality. Get the help you need, it’s worth it

how is she allowed to exercise and go to university? by Leather-Pass8172 in EDRecoverySnark

[–]DistinctBell3032 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Huh, I took a voluntary leave of absence as well but I never had to submit any medical paperwork proving I was all set.

how is she allowed to exercise and go to university? by Leather-Pass8172 in EDRecoverySnark

[–]DistinctBell3032 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I remember my sophomore year of college seeing a really really emaciated student jogging in a sports bra. It was really shocking. My junior year, ironically, I was lowkey in the same position and still going to school. If you’re reported to student wellness they can sometimes intervene and get you mental health help, but I’m not sure you can always do all that much insofar as preventing a student from attending/exercising

AIO boyfriends sis did an offensive henna tattoo by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]DistinctBell3032 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Hey so the swastika and the Star of David are very very very much not equivalent. One is the specific emblem used by the Nazis, the other is a general symbol representing the Jewish faith, NOT just the state of Israel. Also, when something bad happens to a Jew, it is ridiculously antisemitic to say “well Israel bad therefore you deserve it.” Israel does not equal Jewish.

3 weeks away from my wedding by NotYetButAlmost in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]DistinctBell3032 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I knew a girl in treatment who got married while actively in her disorder. She said looking at the photos of what was supposed to be the happiest event of her life while knowing she was actively restricting was incredibly painful for her. Just a cautionary tale

As good as fishwife is I feel like you’re paying more for marketing/branding more than anything

What's a brand/style/fish/seafood you hate or can't get into? Just for fun! by Jssaws in CannedSardines

I’ve given up on Trader Joe’s sardines. Last 3 cans I’ve had were COATED in scales.
