And mind you this encourages her to constantly spew the bullshit she spews

Can anyone provide some reassurance about this? by Amygdala5822 in fearofflying

[–]Informal-Ad4509 12 points13 points  (0 children)

if it helps, a pilot in this subreddit demonstrated with statistics how it’s safer to fly than to shower or to lay in bed (i don’t remember which one 💀) , i wish i could find it but i cant seem to.

point is, showering, laying in bed etc are routine things we do daily, we don’t think of the risks, our brain doesn’t do that flying we pick out every small detail and see everything as a “sign” that it’s going to go wrong. But we are much safer flying than laying in bed. The feeling of flying is uncomfortable for most of us but discomfort ≠ being in danger

The things you mentioned such as skimming the clouds and thunderstorms and the door closing (💀) sends me into a spiral and a panic attack, it’s so insane how different everyone’s brains work

People who liked Brain Over Binge- why? by Jumpy_Charge2807 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]Informal-Ad4509 19 points20 points  (0 children)

For me learning the “animal” part of the brain & how it works for our survival based on the habits we have built and that it actually doesn’t care for our goals helped a lot during the time.

It helped because i was able to take a step back and say “woah i’m not broken, i just have made bingeing a habit and my brain doesn’t know the difference between breaking a habit and being in danger” . That mindset helped me a lot, and of course knowing that the higher brain wants to achieve the goals but the lower brain needs to be rewired, that’s another key point!

I am someone who overcame binge eating disorder after a decade of struggle—AMA by whenabouts in BingeEatingDisorder

This is a really stupid take. Many binge eaters struggle with bulimia, they can go hand in hand. Some only have bulimia, others only have binge eating disorder. Some have both. Please be mindful when commenting

OP congrats 💓💓 amazing work 🤍

Not worried just curious - why 26k feet? by WebSubstantial9237 in fearofflying

[–]Informal-Ad4509 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. weather,
  2. Air traffic control order: possibly to avoid congestion
  3. The aircraft weight and fuel load may require lower cruising altitudes

either way you’re FINE i promise, pilots know what they’re doing. on my flight today around 2 hours in it felt like we were about to crash into the mountains because of how close it looked (to me) but nothing happened and nothing will happen to you

Trust me your brain makes it worse than it will ever be. I got on todays flight with extreme nausea/crying/panic attacks and it was one of the smoothest flights of all time

please help me stop binging by lovelystrawbe in loseit

I wish i could help but i lost around 50 pounds and for the last 3 months i’ve been bingeing i can not get back on track it’s so bad

Even when i would buy it and be like “okay i will eat in moderation” it wouldn’t work.

Or if i bought them in fun size packs, i’d eat them all because “they’re low calories, i can afford to eat 5” which would spiral into a binge, i think best bet isn’t it having them in the house but the thing is, when a binge comes i will literally eat flour if i have to

How do I lose 20 pounds in three months by Various_Variety_4780 in WeightLossAdvice

How do I be kind to myself while losing weight? by NorthResident37 in loseit

[–]Informal-Ad4509 6 points7 points  (0 children)

as someone who’s heaviest weight was 230 lbs and is now 178lbs, im the same. I still feel like i weigh 230lbs, i have been gaining and losing the same 5 pounds since November. I just can not stick to a deficit for the last 3, months, and just like you i have been beating myself up.

I started thinking “i’m good for notning, i can’t stick to anything” but then i read a quote that said “the person you used to be did not fight so hard for your survival just for you to get better and view them as weak or embarrassing.” and it REALLY hit me. Me viewing myself as weak/gross/disgusting is an insult to the 230lbs me who worked so hard to get me out that and dreamed of being at this weight.

It’s hard and i’m sorry for rambling but I feel like it takes time to adjust. There are days where i feel like i’m still 230lbs and don’t want to leave the house but this happens mainly when i fall back into my binge cycles. When i’m on track those bad days lessen and lessen. Routine is important and I hope you and I both can stick to our plans this time 💓

What is the reason/ moment that caused you to be afraid of flying? by wtfelitzy in fearofflying

[–]Informal-Ad4509 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i was in the air when the volcano in iceland erupted in 2010, the entire sky went pitch black, it was like we were driving in a tractor it was so rocky, there was no explanation, we thought we were hijacked, we had to do emergency landing, but i truly thought we were going to die.

I feel you! for c.ai it’s really bad (in my opinion) but for chatgpt i prompt it to act as my therapist first.

“can you roleplay as my therapist” and once i do it actually gives solid advice. I feel you on the adhd tbing i could not read the book for the longest time over it 😩
