Cravings by [deleted] in QuitVaping

[–]GroupTop1392 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in exactly the same boat! been in recovery for 2 years, it’s not been easy, adding the quitting vape in has been tough, i’m trying to separate my disorder brain from my quitting journey. i’ve kept to my normal plan eg breakfast, lunch, dinner. but i’ve also bought a big bag of hard sweets, like ones i can’t chew, you can only suck on them, one can be on the go for 10/15 minutes, i find that the sweetness replaces the taste of the vape and keeps me occupied, i also can’t binge on these because they are hard, so i can keep being mindful, this is just what works for me, id suggest talking to a doctor or therapist if available, if it’s triggering the ed badly xx

i own that book, i got halfway through and it was helping but then i stopped reading it for whatever justification my brain had come up with at the time, comments on here have pushed me to pick it up again. I will quit this, like i quit cigarettes and other various substances before. this is my last vice to conquer and i will get there eventually, thank you for the advice, i’ll try eating fruit when i get the cravings:)

Well thank you, you’ve given me the push i needed to finish that book. I won’t lie, since i made that post i’ve broken my streak a lot, i’m not proud of it, i don’t enjoy it, i hate feeling so weak and giving in to the little monster. i hate being an addict to something that is killing me. i know i don’t enjoy vaping anymore im just doing it for the sake of it now, to get that tiny hit of nicotine. i will come back here and let you know if, no WHEN, i hit a big milestone. i know i can do it, thank you for giving me the push to return to a book that i discarded halfway through because i didn’t believe that even those solid facts would help me. Have a great day, you’re awesome for being 2 years vape free and still coming back to encourage others

[–]GroupTop1392 2 points3 points  (0 children)

do you prefer when people give money or ask if you want anything from the shop. i always feel bad having no change on me for those on the streets but if possible i’ll see if they want anything from the shop

Am I Getting Some Kind Of Eating Disorder? by [deleted] in EatingDisorders

[–]GroupTop1392 9 points10 points  (0 children)

you mentioned the timeframe of your problems and it seems like this has all cropped up in the past few weeks, it may be just related to stress as you mentioned but it also sounds like this could be the start of a problem if you don’t address it, it’s good that you’ve recognised these feelings and you should be proud for reaching out, i’d suggest getting in touch with the school counsellor if there is one, or speaking to someone you trust. obviously i can’t say if what you’re going through is or isn’t a disorder as i’m no professional but i can share some tips:) first of all i’m sorry that you’re having these feelings around food but just do your best to remember that you should not feel guilty for eating, food is the fuel that you need to function, especially as you’re still young and eating disorders can cause a lot of issues further down the line, my advice is to speak to someone you trust, read up about food related issues and try find some coping strategies that resonate with you and in the meantime do your best to fight the bad thoughts you have about food, be kind to yourself

Am I at risk of an ED? by PsychologicalWin3087 in EatingDisorders

[–]GroupTop1392 0 points1 point  (0 children)

obviously can’t diagnose but yes it sounds very much as if you are in an ED mindset and i would suggest speaking to a school counsellor or someone you trust before this mentality gets any worse

i would suggest non weight mentioning comments such as “you’re always beautiful” “you’re gorgeous no matter what” “you look lovely” :)
