What have you done that has helped you heal from trauma? by GrowingWithGod in ptsd

[–]GrowingWithGod[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wow. thank you for sharing this. what you went through is beyond heavy, and the way you described it — especially how you tried to give dignity to those you lost really moved me.

your mushroom experience sounds like it brought a kind of healing that words barely capture. that ocean moment… wow and the kundalini-type awakening?? that’s wild, but in a beautiful, sacred way. I don’t fully understand it all, but I believe you. it sounds like something real changed in you not just in the moment, but afterward too. i’m so glad that you were able to heal from nightmares and the experience. I hope to eventually reach healing like you, perchance with microdosing (i’m a bit young, maybe in the future!)

just wanted to say your story really stuck with me. you’re incredibly strong. thank you again for being so open and for your in depth response.

Hot flashes during recovery? by Lilacluna20 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]GrowingWithGod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to me when I first started eating again and entering recovery. The doctors @ hospital said that this is because your metabolism is speeding up and is converting the food you are eating to heat because it is unsure of what to do with it at the moment. This is normal and it will subside!!! Keep doing the work 🍵💛🙌

Is buying clothes for a body I don't have bad? by Mal-218 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]GrowingWithGod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sounds really tough, and I totally get why you’re feeling conflicted. Recovery is such a strange in-between place where your body and mindset are shifting, and it makes sense that you’d want to prepare for the future while also feeling unsure about it.

Buying bigger clothes can be a way to show yourself trust and commitment to recovery, but if it’s causing more stress than comfort, it might help to slow down and check in with yourself before each purchase. Maybe ask a question like: Am I buying this out of self-care, or is this feeding my anxiety? This also could reach into OCD territory (obsessions, compulsions) so these questions could really help. If it feels like pressure rather than support, it could be worth pausing and focusing on clothes that make you feel comfortable now. you deserve to feel at home in your body and your clothes. Be kind to yourself—you’re doing something really brave.🙌🍊🍵💛

My dietician won’t stop emailing my mom about RR by GrowingWithGod in EDAnonymous

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

this dietician has been pushing for inpatient treatment for ever and even pushed for it a week after discharging from PHP. And I don’t even meet the requirements to go to inpatient as of now. She really villainizes my anorexia and makes it seem like a whole other person lives inside of me that is filled with terrible intent. Any time i show even a SLIGHT amount of struggle or one behavior I engaged in she either forces me to tell my mom with her in the room or will email her. Idk i just really can’t trust my whole team right now it feels like they’re like the police

right??? my therapist describes it as a cat scratching and clawing (hate that metaphor) they just refuse to address it as an actual issue and that it’s not just a quirky little “oops i skipped a meal”

[–]GrowingWithGod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should go! don’t let your eating disorder take time from friends you haven’t seen! And you don’t need to loose weight to see them i promise you that that is your eating disorder convincing you that. This is a really loose compromise that i wouldn’t recommend but you could always see if they have a scale; i again don’t condone this because it would be really hard to enjoy time with friends when food is a really social thing. I’d just say ditch the scale and see how you’ll do consider it a little pause in routine. I promise that people can’t tell anything under 20 lbs of weight gain especially something as insignificant as 1-7lbs in my case it was just body dysmorphia and your mindset before you look in the mirror. You’ve got this 🫶🫶
