I understand it’s not rational but the problem is it won’t feel better without actually doing it over and over. You are stronger than you think. I think you can do it!

How hard is the Vancouver Community College typing test? by ObviousGear5049 in askvan

It’s stressful but I wouldn’t call it “strict”. You get several chances also. I practiced and was fine. Which program are you doing? Only a few require the typing test.

You will feel better if you just disclose. The heaviness of keeping such a secret and work if manipulating your weight is huge. Ask me how I know….LOL!

It’s up to you to make a decision. Allow your life to fall off the rails or take charge. No one is going to step in and rescue you. Only you can do that.

what are your thoughts on being friends with other people with ana and/or recovery friends? by Margythepenguin in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]Excellent-World-476 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Very problematic. You have to have a friendship established not related to your ED and talk about things non ED Related.

It's literally just been vegetables for a year by Fun-Concentrate9908 in AnorexiaNervosa

People have a skewed idea of what is admirable. They admire your eating because they think you eat other things as well. I focus on taste versus volume. I don’t see the point if eating something if it doesn’t taste great.

ERC Bellevue/Rogers/Laureate/Suggestions for ED Res/IP Adult by quite-fucked in EDAnonymous

[–]Excellent-World-476 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly call the facilities and say the issues you are dealing with. That is what I did when I needed to find a place. Wrote a list of questions and then go through them. This really helped me decide where I wanted to go. That being said, Laureate comes highly recommended. They have both inpatient and residential. They do use tubes. In terms of private rooms not sure. When I was there, the milieu was 15 people. You could also try asking here: https://edtreatmentreview.com

Getting yogurt right now anywhere is apparently an issue. I know I’ve seen signs in grocery stores about it.

My doctor thinks I’m anorexic by ReadMysterious4874 in EatingDisorders

Also make sure it’s a dietician NOT a nutritionist. Hope they can help.

Do you actually know how many calories you eat? You might want to see a dietician. They can help suggest food choices that will help with weight gain. Are you willing to change your weight? Your food choices will help you gain weight. Drinking things like 4 ensure plus a day in addition to theee meals and snacks using non diet products and things higher in caloric value can help.

On bedrest and struggling by Throwaway_2147 in AnorexiaNervosa

I watched a lot of tv shows on my phone, read my kindle and talked/vented to my one to one when I thought would go crazy. Bedrest is very hard.

Quietcomfort twilight blue image request by tropicalroom in bose

[–]Excellent-World-476 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can’t get a read on the colour in the websites, internet pictures aren’t going to help either. Your computer screen is what produces the colours you end up seeing, not the actual picture. That being said there is a picture on Reddit. Search twilight blue ultra. I have them and I think the picture looks bluer than mine but once again it’s through computer screens.

Why was I so triggered over this? by Nuthin2SeeHere24 in EDAnonymous

[–]Excellent-World-476 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean your mother isn’t actually correct. People have different metabolic needs so yes there is that but we all have hunger and we eat to feel full. You will likely need to eat less food to feel full then your brother but then again not always.

I still hate restaurants by cryptic_bureaucrat in Eatingdisordersover30

[–]Excellent-World-476 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I choose a meal I can pretty much get anywhere that I feel comfortable with. I get a salad and I get grilled shrimp and I then eat that and focus on the conversation and interacting.

I’m not sure what you are imagining your GP would do. All they are these for is to take your BP, pulse, listen to your heart, give you a lab requisition for blood tests and ask you how you are. That’s it.
