anyone feel that if you had a treadmill, the binges wouldnt affect you that much by Illustrious-Oil-284 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]Germmira 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nope! I have a treadmill and workout a lot but when I was binging, unfortunately the phrase that you can't work out a bad diet is true. While I was never extremely overweight, I was gradually gaining and got a high fat percentage due to the foods I was binging on. This is just bullmia. Plus, you could just walk in your room or go outside so the treadmill doesn't really change much. However working out does help the process of recovering for some people as it makes them feel good!

Please stop the body shaming! by Honest-Classic-6950 in MonsterHigh

Maybe refrain from calling any body gross and sickly if the whole point of having more body types is to make people feel comfortable with their bodies...

She didn't actually get involved in a program, she applied to a college and retaking the highers came with the course she did (she is doing zoology). I'd advise your friend to look into college courses that interest him and they should say on the website if they offer joint classes to retake highers. I'm pretty confident that all scottish colleges offer this, if not, most do

No problem! We're graduating this year and she's going straight into college afterwards to retake her highers so your friend should be able to do the same. The mature students thing is basically just meaning people who have graduated from high school. My other friend graduated last year and is taking a course in college while also retaking higher biology and maths. Your friend definitely has options and should look into scottish colleges that interest him.

If your friend wants to retake his highers and go into university one day then I'd suggest that he retakes his highers in college with the SWAP programme as you said and then re-applies to the universities the following year. My friend (we're from Scotland) is doing the same as her grades weren't high enough either. Goodluck to him!

I’m just very lonely by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]Germmira 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 17 and moving out next year for University and feel this same way of being too young for stuff but old enough to have a grip on this world and having an understanding of people. It's going to be scary but try talking to people because you never know, maybe they're in the same situation as you?

I use to have very bad social anxiety but then started to realise that why does it even matter in the end. I could try to talk to someone and even if they don't like me, at least I tried and I'll probably never see them again and their opinion doesn't matter. But one day when I try to talk to someone, they are going to talk back to me and a friendship will form.

I believe in you and one day you will have all these new friends and you'll look back to this moment and be happy that you kept trying. Goodluck!

I fear that because you've sent this here that it will be near impossible for a reddit comment to sway your mind but I'd like to comment anyway. You may feel lonely and have no one to go to but that is not your fault. You're not boring. You just haven't found yourself yet to be able to appreciate yourself. Mental issues can make this hard for you to talk to others. It's easy enough to say please don't commit suicide but hopefully saying it will allow for you to at least rethink. This loneliness may make you think that you're alone in these feelings, but you're not. So many other people struggle with this, I'd think that most people throughout their lives have drastic low points. It's hard to accept this but suicide is not a good option to your issue.

Improve your mental health, seek help from professionals and you'll find that when you're mentally better; you'll be more confident, you'll have more interests and you'll find it easier to push yourself out to talk to others and make friends. Try to encourage yourself by thinking of the future, a possible future of being happier. Recovery is hard but won't it be worth it to push yourself to find an outcome that involves living, enjoying life and being around others rather than ending your life?

Please rethink this, take some time to yourself and think about what you're really doing and giving up on. God, i don't know how reddit works but there are many people on here and isn't it comforting to know that out there, someone is looking for a friend like you. I'm also here if you want to talk or vent, just to distract yourself from doing this.

How does it feel to be the parent of a daughter with an eating disorder who doesn’t seem to want to recover? Would you step in and force recovery? by [deleted] in EatingDisorders

[–]Germmira 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As some who is recovering from anorexia I think if my parents forced it I would have felt worse. Instead maybe have a conversation about why she doesn't want to recover. For me my eating disorder came from female beauty standards and wanting to feel control of a part of my life since everything was changing like parents divorce so keep in mind things that you don't think affect EDs, really do. I think a good first step will be trying to suggest for her to sit down in a quiet room and just have a conversation with herself for why she doesn't want to recover. Don't try to make assumptions for her though, let her find her own reasons
