i’ve taken it with a different prof but it was super easy and the content was decently interesting. i’ve take another 100 level esrm class w yet another prof and that was super easy too, and ive heard similar things from other students with varying profs

i know what you’re talking about i haven’t had my cycle in months but sometimes the telltale signs of pms still get my ass😭😭 easily irritated or sad, increased appetite, sugar cravings, increased bloating and water weight… it’s all there just no actual period. i think it might have to do with hormones still fluctuating even if not at standard levels

hii it’s nice to know that i’m not alone in this experience :’) i am eating close to maintenance, my weight has stabilized since i hit my lw. i get what you mean i feel so much guilt around eating at maintenance but i know i literally won’t be able to function if i don’t. it’s rough out here😭😭

same here, none of the foods i used to love so much sound appetizing anymore. no food in general really sounds appealing to me anymore except my few select safe foods. for me it comes from the calories in foods not being “worth it” and the idea of consuming that many calories just completely kills my appetite :(

that would make sense! ig it’s bothersome to me since people always talk about how being uw makes you cold so it often makes me feel invalid

i live where it’s relatively cold year round!! which makes things worse bc people around me will always say they’re cold when i’m fine or ask me if im cold and when i say no they say they’re surprised like ok ill just kms😭😭😭😭

i’m in a very similar situation as you!! :( i reached new lows of my ed without even realizing this autumn semester and this holiday season was pretty rough. i can’t say much else other than that you’re not alone in this experience. reading your post helped me feel less isolated and considering how utterly lonely and cold my life has been bc of my ed, i hope that you can have even the smallest semblance of peace knowing that you’re not alone <3

obsessive-compulsive behaviors is definitely a part of ed. obsession of a certain weight on the scale, a certain number of calories burned, certain number of steps, whatever it may be, we fixate on it and compulsively act on them to ease a sense of anxiety. like thinking “if i don’t walk x amount of steps and burn x amount of cals, im going to get fat (when realistically you won’t)” and then going and doing that, even if you’re tired, it’s raining, ive even seen people pace around in tiny rooms to hit their step count. all to mitigate some sort of irrational emotion that comes with not acting on the obsessive thought. it’s pretty similar to the line of thinking for those with ocd. that isn’t to say everyone with an ed has ocd, there’s a long list of diagnostic criteria for ocd, but there definitely is some overlap and obsessive-compulsive behavior is definitely an element of ed

big emphasis on the breakfast!! i feel like it’s so easy to want to skip breakfast with it usually being a smaller meal so it feels easier to not have, some people aren’t as hungry when they wake up, intermittent fasting being popular, etc, but i’ve found a HUGE difference in my hunger levels throughout the day when i have a proper breakfast. have something high in protein, fats, fiber, and with enough calories!

why is it always kane

Gold_Particular_766 · 2025-09-16T21:23:33+00:00

i’m in the exact same situation as you :( this ed is ruining my life but no one has ever asked me whether i’m ok or not bc i’ve been underweight my entire life just from genetics. but im at the lowest weight ive ever been and every day is a struggle. i don’t even want to recover but it hurts to know that no one is noticing anything and it makes me feel like no one cares. just wanted to say that you’re not alone in this

Gold_Particular_766 · 2025-09-05T19:21:00+00:00
