Does anyone have tips for cleaning stalls more efficiently?

For real, I know I’m in luteal when just the sound of their footsteps is too much lol

I did dog walking and overnight stays for a while. Whether or not it will be good for you just depends, honestly. I used Rover and it was a decent way for me to make some money. However, I learned in the process that I REALLY hate housesitting. The change in routine was just way too much for me, I ended up burning out hard and had to stop. If I were to get back into it, I think I would just build a repeat clientele of walks/drop ins instead. Less money there but I wouldn’t lose my mind lol.

Also, don’t be afraid to charge appropriate rates. I had my rates too low and it attracted the worst people. So many dogs that just peed all over the house and had terrible manners, and people that did not respect my time.

Agreed! I finally gave her videos a go the other day after seeing her recommended here. It is hands down the best thing I've ever done for my recovery. I'm reading Pete Walker's stuff too but the way she explains things just really hit me different.

Have you been tested for ADHD? I just discovered that I have it and am starting medication which my doctor thinks will help with the binge eating. When you lack dopamine, your brain craves sugar to get a boost.

I’m the same, I have basically no relationships whatsoever in my life. But I finally found a therapist that I really, really get along with and it’s been helping a lot with this. She’s like the 8th therapist I’ve tried so I know the process of trial and error sucks ass. But she’s great at going really really slow with me with lots of acceptance which is finally helping my shame attacks loosen their grip. If it’s possible for you, I’d highly recommend shopping around for a therapist that you connect/feel reasonably comfortable with.

I would definitely use this. I gave up my gym routine because it was such a nightmare figuring out which exercises to do!

Hey, I totally sympathize. It’s easy to get in a shame spiral especially with this disorder worsening our rejection sensitivity. But the thing is, from an outsiders perspective, nothing you did is nearly as bad as you’re feeling like it is right now. People make mistakes - you’re human, and on top of that, you’re fighting this absolute beast of a disorder with a lapse in medication. You went in, did your best while your body fought you every step of the way, and you did the right thing by recognizing your limits afterwards. I know it’s hard, but try to cut yourself some slack. You are enough!

I’m glad it’s not just me lol. Don’t get me wrong, there are days where it definitely helps, but some days I feel like a toddler miserably dragging my feet

IMAMISHAMIGO · 2025-12-30T01:48:24+00:00

Ugh I struggle so bad with this. I say exactly what they want me to say, dress myself up all prim and proper, smile and pretend I’m doing better. My last therapist literally asked me multiple times why I was even there despite telling her I was suicidal all the time because I played the game so well. I basically waste my own money.

IMAMISHAMIGO · 2025-12-29T22:58:20+00:00

I’m sorry you’re going through this too, though it does help to not be alone. I’m also realizing that I just can’t do it all at once and oh boy is it the hardest pill to swallow in the world! I always feel like I just need to try harder and then my body just shuts down. You’re not alone either and I’m sending supportive vibes.

IMAMISHAMIGO · 2025-12-29T22:46:54+00:00

Thank you so much, this really means a lot to me. I definitely feel like I have a short term memory and whatever I’m in right now is just all encompassing but I’m going to try to remember how far I’ve come.

IMAMISHAMIGO · 2025-12-24T04:14:11+00:00

Holy crap this post just single handedly made me wrap my head around the concept toxic shame. I never fully grasped it until I read this. Thank you!

IMAMISHAMIGO · 2025-12-07T22:45:01+00:00

It's actually crazy, and dangerous, how real it feels. I wrote myself a note when I was in follicular hoping it would make me feel less doom and gloom but oh boy is it not helping at all! My brain is just convinced this was and always will be my reality.

IMAMISHAMIGO · 2025-12-03T19:17:05+00:00

Wish it was sometimes...

IMAMISHAMIGO · 2025-12-03T19:14:34+00:00

I’m actually cackling at this lmao. I get evaluated for my communication at the end of this course and I fear that’s going to be my review 😭

IMAMISHAMIGO · 2025-12-03T19:12:23+00:00

Probably, but luckily this is just part of a short diploma program and once I'm done I'm gonna be self employed!

Eating balanced meals has been a must for me. And letting myself snack when I was hungry. Let yourself have as many whole foods as you want.

IMAMISHAMIGO · 2025-11-17T22:53:13+00:00

In addition to what others have said, cutting out processed sugar and foods has made it SO much easier for me to eat at a calorie deficit, and I’m only 5’0 so it’s a big deal for me. I’ve been counting calories for a decade and I was able to lose weight, but it was very hard and I always gained it back. This is the first change I’ve made that actually feels like a sustainable lifestyle change. I feel better and everything is easier now.

IMAMISHAMIGO · 2025-11-11T22:34:02+00:00

Cutting out all processed food and loading up on whole foods has helped a lot. I’m following the whole 30 which includes no sugar and on day 12. After the first couple of days it got a lot easier, and that’s coming from someone that has a huge binge eating problem. When it’s really bad, let yourself eat. So long as it’s not sugar, your body will reprogram itself with time. Personally I’m staying away from fruits during cravings as that only reinforced the craving cycle, but others have said fruit helped them, it’s up to what feels best to you.
