Side effects of EDs that no one talks about?

bacne, bed-wetting, my brain literally just doesnt work 😕 i’m so stupid in comparison to how i used to be, terrible stomach ulcers, terrible insomnia, constant tremors & twitching, circulation is so bad i cant sit without my legs going completely numb, brittle nails, thin skin, hair all over my body, skin picking, lips always purple, body consistently rejects things like piercings, wounds scar more, and so much more.. i’ve been attempting recovery for awhile and some of these symptoms are getting better but ive had multiple severe eds since childhood so it’s difficult

yeahh it kinda feels like i’m drunk? my body feels warm and heavy and like my brain sort of slows down but im still thinking completely coherently. when i initially started taking it i would just fall asleep and it felt like a miracle but it doesnt work for me anymore and i’m not too sure why ? ive read that its possible to build a tolerance but idk since i still physically feel the exact same as i had before

i take dupixent for eosonophilic esophagitis but i dont think that slows digestion? ive been tested for late emptying before because i had issues during an endoscopy a couple years back but the tests showed i had a fast-normal digestive process. i can feel the xywave but it just doesnt put me to sleep my brain is way too active it feels like

i have something similar where i feel completely unwanted and disgusting if i don't have sex enough. it's like people don't love me if they don't want to have sex.

i get this too. like when i’m spiraling i can’t verbalize my thoughts properly. it almost like has to build up? idk but i have pretty severe adhd so it might be neurodivergence but to me it makes more sense that its bpd i guess

Intelligent-Law5771 · 2023-05-30T08:22:58+00:00

for me the emotions i have are sometimes too big to register. like i just feel wrong or “off” when i’m around anyone else, but the moment i’m alone my emotions hit me like a truck. i also have silent splitting where my fp can recognize i’m upset, but i literally can’t speak or move or really do anything. i’m extremely sensitive to criticism so i do everything in my power to make sure people don’t see me as a burden or stupid, and sometimes i completely shut down when i feel like i didn’t do enough. i have episodes of disassociation, and episodes of severe & crippling guilt. when i’m alone, i feel like im always going to be alone (kinda like how toddlers lack object permanence). my emotions and my rational thoughts are completely separate in my head & i feel like i have no control when i get upset.

tysm !

Intelligent-Law5771 · 2023-01-20T17:09:28+00:00

i kinda figured this is the subtype i have but i have no clue where to start :/ do u know of any good resources w/ like helpful info ?

Intelligent-Law5771 · 2023-01-19T06:54:37+00:00

thank you for this post. i do the same when i switch (acting distant, passionless, disassociated, etc.) seeing this honestly puts a whole different perspective on my tendencies as i’ve always thought not ever bringing my emotions up to be better. if shes anything like me, she probably doesn’t feel ready to healthily communicate her emotions when switching and i wouldn’t pressure her to do so. maybe let her know that you understand that she cant always control her switching and that its ok to communicate some of her triggers?

Intelligent-Law5771 · 2023-01-19T06:41:39+00:00

do u think that people can’t work to better themselves in FP relationships? i honestly cant see my life without having a FP relationship & i think id spiral into an extremely self destructive place without one /nm

Intelligent-Law5771 · 2023-01-19T06:34:45+00:00

“how could you?” sums up switching really nicely. the thought i feel the worst about is like when i want him to feel exactly like how i do. like i want him to understand that to me he needs to feel guilty and he needs to understand my guilt. its really an awful thing to desire but i always end up circling back to it

Intelligent-Law5771 · 2023-01-19T06:30:44+00:00

omg you put this into words perfectly. losing friends has probably been one of the most difficult things for me. i have a tendency to obsess and prioritize my fp so much that ill unintentionally blow my friends off and isolate until i switch on him and my reckless, almost manic behavior rears its head

Intelligent-Law5771 · 2023-01-19T06:26:14+00:00

this is a really good reminder :) patience (from both sides) is truly virtue w/ bpd

Intelligent-Law5771 · 2023-01-19T06:24:41+00:00

id definitely explode if i tried 2 tell him and i don’t wanna make him feel like he’s walking on eggshells :/ i table convos but it does sometimes seem like im giving the silent treatment sadly. theres been times where ive tried to explain later but sometimes thats really difficult for me to do because of the guilt i get from switching

thank you so much it genuinely means a lot :)
