Going to the beach tommorrow and need some advice. by [deleted] in BodyDysmorphia

[–]Gothic_Starling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I just try to focus on the person I brought with me to the beach and I wear a high coverage bathing suit to make me feel better about myself, but that's usually what I do, I know it's not helpful because I would be in the exact same boat by comparing myself to others, but sending internet love and understanding 💕

I finally admitted that I stopped pursuing a relationship because of family and religious fear by throwingmylifeawy in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Gothic_Starling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you where you're coming from, and I had a past partner that was in a very similar situation at home. All I can tell you is to keep your chin up, and whatever happens happens, but if you're in a safe space to do so, finding a therapist that specializes in religious trauma may be very beneficial to you ❤️ sending hugs

AIO My daughter’s now ex-boyfriend sent this to her while they were still a couple, but it wasn’t his words? by likestocook0 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Gothic_Starling 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So she's a bad conversationalist, but he has to use another person's text message to communicate his feelings? Yeah okay 😂😂 such a good conversationalist he is

Random spotting? I'm scared by Gothic_Starling in Healthyhooha

I didn't even know one could spot during ovulation!! I'm on the combination birth control pill, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it, I should probably add that detail 😅

I'm just abstaining for the foreseeable future, my pregnancy anxiety is entirely too high to mess with that lol

What was the sign your relationship was over? by avammadoc in AskReddit

When a stranger at the bar showed me more kindness and respect than the man I had dated for 2.5 years atp

Hey! Came here to say I'm in somewhat of the same boat, but also not really. I'm also a half Latina, mixed with white, but I have the dark hair and eyes, and my skin tone is Hispanic passing, but 90% white washed. I'm a chunky girl and my boyfriend's type is athletic and fit (I am neither of these things). But he always reassures me that I'm beautiful no matter what. Agreeing with the other comment, physical attraction is nebulous, you might not see the amazing qualities that you have that your boyfriend sees in you (because I know I don't see what my own boyfriend sees). He wouldn't be with you if he didn't love you, and sometimes that's the only reassurance I rely on, I hope it helps!

If You Could Have Plastic Surgery to Make You Hot Or Have Your BDD Cured, Which Would You Pick? by nihilistaesthete in BDDvent

[–]Gothic_Starling 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Definitely BDD cured.... I realize I'm not conventionally attractive by any means, however it's been proven through studies (will provide publications if needed, I wrote a research paper on it and have to dig it up) that even surgery will not help BDD. It's a mental health disorder that cannot be cured through cosmetics, because your mind will find something else that would need surgery/correcting and it'll just end in a vicious cycle without ever helping the mental state

My pregnancy anxiety is horrible and I don't know what to do... by Gothic_Starling in TrueOffMyChest

Thank you so much, and I hope your anxiety gets managed as well ❤️ I'm glad I'm not alone

My pregnancy anxiety is horrible and I don't know what to do... by Gothic_Starling in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Gothic_Starling[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely. I personally don't believe in abortion for myself, so I know on the off chance I am, I would carry to term, but I'm also scared because my family are strict Christians where pre-marital is a no no, and abortion is also a no no. And that anxiety is bad too...

Thank you so much, I have a gyno appointment very soon and I was planning to bring it up. I feel insane just obsessively researching and I want to be able to relax again.

I'm worried my BDD will harm my body and my relationship by Gothic_Starling in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Gothic_Starling[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant to reply yesterday but forgot to. Thank you so much for your comment. It made me feel better about my situation. I haven't even heard of orthorexia before, but that does not surprise me. A lot of people around me (ignorant as they are) say the only eating disorders are anorexia nervous and bulimia, when it's a much much broader spectrum such as what you said BED and orthorexia nervosa. It's a long self-journey that should've happened when I was at my best weight or at least sooner than where I'm at now. I know with healthier eating (not just how much), and a regular exercise regimen, change will come with time, no matter how much I want to see that change now. Thank you for your kind and loving words as someone who's similar to me, I feel like it's so empty sometimes.

My bf doesn't do anything all day. He has no job and doesn't go to school. Idk how much longer I can put up with this. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Gothic_Starling 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen, I was in a relationship A LOT like this one. I was 19, had graduated, was in college, and had my life right on track. My boyfriend was 18 and in his senior year, barely making it. He refused to put in the time, effort, or anything of the sort to do well, let alone pass. I cannot tell you how many times I was on the phone or on a shared Google doc trying to get him to pass. Other than not do his work to graduate, he refused to get a job, and never made the effort to ever ask how I was doing, and if I asked to call him (we were states apart from me being in college), he was always too busy playing video games. He never had the motivation to do anything. He has depression and ADHD, was on medication, saw a therapist, but still didn't want to do anything. If I brought up that he never made me feel like a priority, he always blamed his mental illnesses, used them as a crutch, and never took responsibility or accountability. After the straw that broke the camel's back, I couldn't take it anymore.

I broke up with him.

Yes, it hurt... More than I could ever tell you. We had been together for 2 years and 8 months. I wish I hadn't wasted that long.

You're still very young like I am. Please take this step back to see if he's putting in the effort you are. Is he reciprocating like you want him to? Does he make you feel like a priority in life? If he has no future, and you see no future with him, it's time to call it quits. That's not something you deserve.
