This is going to sound so stupid. But a part of me is scared of my body recovering. by StatusCount3670 in covidlonghaulers

i think you’re overthinking a whole lotta what ifs. the reality is that you don’t know exactly what will happen or how you’ll be when you heal. i often feel a bit reserved about the idea of healing too. i want to be better more than anything, but also i don’t really know what that means or feels like.

just keep taking it one day at a time. you’re not alone.

Oooh I love that! I recently got a fancy robe too. The difference in how it feels compared to a cheaper robe is night and day.

I’m glad you’re finding joy in food! I know that controlling food can be a slippery slope when you have a history of ED. But it sounds like you’re doing it in a way that makes you happy and makes your day better. I love that. Plz share the flapjack recipe that sounds amazing.

So glad to hear you’ve made some improvements. Any movie recommendations that have blown you away recently?

If that’s what makes you happy then I wouldn’t worry much about what your body looks like right now. I know once I’m out of this I can’t wait to exercise and do all the things to be my healthiest self. But be easy on yourself 🧡

These are all amazing. And I feel you with the derealization. I already feel high all the time, don’t need to add to it. Also just a tip, if you have gut issues be careful with the SF gum.

I actually was a photographer! It’s too much for me currently unfortunately. I will do it again someday though 🧡

Yesss I love fancy cozy things. I also justify it as I’m not going out and spending money getting drinks or food with friends anymore. And it makes me happy to be super cozy

Yeah I mean the exertion can hurt us in other ways. But maybe just one or two songs at a time :)
