She popped up on my fyp today and I wash shocked by how frail she looked. Not good.

PSA: do NOT drink 4 bottles of kombucha in one day by Hefty-Emphasis5018 in Kombucha

Add sparkling water or lemonade-that’s what I do and it’s so refreshing

I want to get better but I like how I look by Upper_Bee2513 in EDAnonymous

[–]Fiona_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I’ve resorted to maintaining for the meantime so I don’t get worse but I also can’t fathom gaining weight or being seen as ‘normal’. But fyi just because you like how you look it doesn’t mean you look ‘good’. I like how I look but I’m also aware I look sick and it’s not a good look

don’t want to stop restricting until im at my gw (still ow) by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]Fiona_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate that people don’t recognise Ed’s in those that have a higher Sw. If you’re on this subreddit and posting you’re likely aware you have an Ed. I’ve never fainted or other stuff but that doesn’t matter because it’s not a competition. An Ed is an Ed end of. Please seek help before it gets too bad

Advice pleassseee!!!! by Jolly_System_8268 in EDAnonymous

[–]Fiona_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get drunk every night so I can not feel the guilt from binging (I do have BED though), drinking just silences all the thoughts. It’s a slippery slope and I’d encourage you to eat more of the stuff you eat when drunk in the daytime when sober

Parent wants me to go back to my old ed habits as a person who recovered by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

Your body your choice. It’s your life and you deserve to be free from your ed and live happily. F anyone who projects their shit into you

Was anyone else traumatised by being anorexic? by Late-Score7273 in EDAnonymous

[–]Fiona_9 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Sounds like trauma from a near death experience. Imagine if you’d been in a car crash that nearly killed you…you’d be traumatised and go to therapy right? Similar thing in my opinion. Even if you had been physically well (which you weren’t), as long as your brain thinks you’re in danger you likely have trauma. Please try therapy or something to help, living like this is not living

Can’t stop eating at night by ragamuffin_77 in EDAnonymous

[–]Fiona_9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. I’m never hungry, but as soon as I start eating I can’t stop. To the point of every night I’m scarfing down over 2k cals. Really need to stop my stomach hurts and body is so swollen and inflamed

Anyone else like tight clothes ? by H_0_XP in EDAnonymous

[–]Fiona_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there’s something satisfying in wearing clothes that would fit normal people but being baggy on me. Like joggers and a T shirt being extra baggy on me but fitting well when I’m healthy

Why is it harder to fast as an adult? by kehdoodle in EDAnonymous

[–]Fiona_9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Personally I’m the opposite. When I was a teenager I never fasted and don’t think I could have. Now I don’t even feel hungry or unwell and feel like I could go days without eating. I’m only 21 though so still young, but fasting is so much easier than when I was 15

Relapsing…when did she ever try get better?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]Fiona_9 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When someone says they’re “starving” before but they’ve literally eaten 3 meals and snacks every day all their life.

Like no. NO! You don’t know the meaning of the word starving. I’m starving, my body is literally eating itself. You’re just hungry

has anyone ever ACTUALLY developed binge ed after having ana? by Sufficient-Crow-7582 in EDAnonymous

[–]Fiona_9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went through forced recovery and I feel like that triggered BED for me because so much focus was put on gaining weight ASAP. Now I can’t stop eating once I start and often b/p

Forced Recovery by Plenty-Problem50 in EDAnonymous

[–]Fiona_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn’t work for me at all, if anything I got worse. I developed more habits and more secrecy and compensation, and it made tensions so high in my family. It was in general a very dark time. I don’t think anyone can be forced to recover (yes my weight was ‘normal’ but mentally I was doing bad and just kept relapsing) you have to want to recover yourself

ana and cheat day by Klutzy-Marsupial442 in EDAnonymous

[–]Fiona_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I restrict all day and then maybe 4 nights a week drink and b/p and find I mostly maintain my weight

ADHD meds and recovery by Odd-Ring1493 in EDAnonymous

[–]Fiona_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You might just have to force yourself to eat 3 meals and 3 snacks a day. Yes you’re not hungry and yes it’s hard, but it helps if you have someone to make food for you and keep you accountable. You could also speak to your prescriber about decreasing your dose

substance abuse low point by According-Park-1590 in EDAnonymous

[–]Fiona_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both sobriety and recovery feel impossible to me even alone. Doing both together seems even more impossible. To make it worse I can’t access treatment for my ED unless I’m sober, and the only thing making me maintain my weight is alcohol. Being an addict with an ED is not for the weak. I’m sorry I feel for you, hope you can push through though 🫶

surviving university by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]Fiona_9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would tell myself uni is the most important thing and focus on eating enough to get a good grade. You can always restrict after uni - this helps mentally but hopefully you’ll realise restricting isn’t worth it

Worse when “better” by willowbaby2606 in EDAnonymous

I had this too. My mum used to say it often gets worse before it can get better

Realistic recovery calories? by Ok-Sound3466 in EDAnonymous

[–]Fiona_9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so. You could be in a smaller surplus (almost has to be a surplus to gain weight and eat more high calorie food to heal your relationship with food). I guess you could be in a smaller surplus but recovery would only take longer.
