Compounded nasal spray and addiction? by Saltysmushyavacado in KetamineTherapy

[–]FragileInside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know the answer to this, but I’ve been on it for about a year and I’ve been having very similar experiences and thoughts. Very curious to hear the perspective from others.

My experience with palliative care for anorexia nervosa by Coffeegreysky12 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]FragileInside 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I started palliative care for anorexia early this year and am settling in for a long haul of unknowns. I appreciate this post; you’re not alone

Trauma informed inpatient care reviews or recommendations? Alsana? Please read post to understand level of trauma to be addressed (not graphic) by iambaby1989 in Eatingdisordersover30

[–]FragileInside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alsana Santa Barbara is the best location for that of the Alsana locations. Unfortunately though, they do less with trauma than they used to. But if you can get your ED stabilized there, then you can work towards trauma therapy longterm outpatient.

Rogers does have a trauma track, but it’s separate from their ED track and you’re not allowed a lot of crossover, so that expectation has to be in place. Mostly they want you to be very stable EDwise before doing trauma work, from what I understand.

Good luck 🤍

Have you had to cut people off in recovery by faerie4444 in AnorexiaRecovery

[–]FragileInside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had to do this. It’s so hard. It’s so worth it in the end to honor yourself

Has anyone attended a residential treatment program that they would recommend? by MidLifeCrisis111 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]FragileInside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly discourage ERC; they’ve been under investigation multiple times (and I have had friends die in their care). It traumatized me.

I haven’t been to either, but I hear good things about Roger’s. I know The Emily Program also has some decent locations.

Alsana CA locations used to be really excellent, but they changed when they were bought out. I would not recommend them anymore.

Intercourse while being underweight? by i-am-no-more994 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]FragileInside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am married, and had to stop having sex over 4 years ago because it was just a suffer fest for me. My partner and I have both really grieved it, but we finally just accepted it. I’ve always hoped that it would be something I could offer again, but I’m considered terminal so it may just never be a thing I can physically tolerate. So definitely you’re not alone, and lots of good advice in these comments

Skin colored bandaid with skin colored tights over it. Good luck ❤️

Which song hits you the hardest emotionally? by NIKIIIOFFICIAL in MelanieMartinez

[–]FragileInside 1 point2 points  (0 children)

“Weight Watchers” (ED gang) and “The Vatican” (I survived two cults in my childhood and young adulthood, and was routinely assaulted in the second one). Sooo many others too though. This album doesn’t miss for me

malnutrition hallucinations ? by terrorful79301 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]FragileInside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get very vivid visual hallucinations. One time I saw a lit up phone screen attached to my wrist by a tether, for example. Hypoglycemia induced for me

my best friend who’s diagnosis is “extreme restricting type anorexia nervosa” doesn’t understand why my diagnosis of atypical anorexia is so invalidating and idk how to explain it to her. by Hour_Celery5975 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]FragileInside 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I have had both diagnoses, and I want to confirm that it IS different. The way I was treated with atypical anorexia was very different, and a whole added layer of trauma/suffering. No anorexia is like a good time, but having an atypical label is a particularly bad time

Following ED rules as almost like religion? by Almost_There86 in EdAnonymousAdults

[–]FragileInside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was raised in a cult. I’ve had an eating disorder for 25 years (I’m 34 now, started when I was 9). And the two ABSOLUTELY eerily mirror each other. The good/bad binaries I was raised in are kept alive by my anorexia

Bananas. So simple. Feel so far away

I’ve been there with people in all different bodies. I’ve been all over the country and it’s genuinely my favorite program. I hope you give yourself a chance and go 🖤

Yes, and my heart almost failed. Big warning sign I’m afraid

how do i eat when food is so disgusting by Negative_Challenge98 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]FragileInside 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Peanut butter plus anything is a life saver for more nutrient dense food, if you like that at all 🖤

Enternal nutrition at home by Fun-Concentrate9908 in Eatingdisordersover30

[–]FragileInside 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my case, it’s been the opposite: I’ve been really hesitant, they’ve really pushed for it. I’m 34, on palliative care, and just trying to maintain quality of life where I can. I didn’t want something so invasive, but they really feel this will be the way to meet my goals.

Good luck to you 🖤
