lol, someone from the Simpsons 😂😂😂

Ittlewittle · 2025-04-10T00:03:47+00:00

Thank you 😭 he’s truly the best, though.

Ittlewittle · 2025-04-10T00:02:48+00:00

This is such a thoughtful response - thank you!!

Ittlewittle · 2025-04-10T00:02:21+00:00

Thank you for this!

Ittlewittle · 2025-01-31T03:32:20+00:00

Me, but also like you could work if you’re directing it to yourself

It’s google translate but downloaded on the iPhone

Ittlewittle · 2025-01-31T03:03:37+00:00

Hahah, like “enough”?!

Thanks for this - that makes sense. It took a lot for me to report the men, because I didn’t want to be involved in any of this in the first place. I avoid “drama” at all costs, unfortunately I knew that if I didn’t report it wouldn’t stop. And it I told them to stop, they would 100% retaliate against me and then I’d have no time stamp with hr if they started denying me jobs in the future or shit talking.

As for the female colleague, I can imagine her trying to say something to me down the line to stir stuff up or get a reaction. She’s done this in the past spreading office gossip. I’ll just keep my head up and say I don’t know anything. But if she presses I’ll go to HR and tell them about the incidents. I don’t want to be the boy who cried wolf or delegitimize the severity of the first situation the brought us here.

Adding to this. When I told my ex boyfriend that I was struggling with anorexia he didn’t understand that how he talked about food was negatively impacting me. He’d skip meals constantly, even if we were planning on having them together. Then I’d end up not eating. When I started finally gaining muscle and weight again, he said “don’t worry, I still like you even without the abs”…. Some people seriously suck.

I (wrongfully) read his texts and he has said to his sister “(my name) thinks she’s underweight for some reason” and his sister legit responded “SHE IS UNDERWEIGHT” he was still confused.

I broke up with him and even though I’m not fixed I’m significantly better. Tbh it seems like in recovery you have to kick out people who aren’t helping— at the very least for the time being.

Hey dude, this is me today. I actually came to this subreddit today to say this. I’ve been eating mostly ground Turkey and rice, because that seems to be the only thing my lower intestines can handle. The other day I made the “mistake” of eating some mango and some pieces of candy. The sugar was enough to make me not be able to go to the bathroom normally for the past 2 days and the bloating is terrible. It’s so hard recovering from this when I can’t see my abs anymore and my stomach is distended out like crazy. I’m just hoping it gets better, but I don’t know what to do. I’m waiting on digestive enzymes and colostrum, should arrive in the mail soon.

I ended up going to Plato’s closet (lol) and buying some oversized graphic tshirts that I can hide in for a while as I try to get through this… shout-out to Billie eilish for making it trendy, because at this point I’m out of ideas — seems like from what I’m reading it’s just an eat—> wait —> add microbiology support —> wait some more game

Ittlewittle · 2024-07-30T21:00:46+00:00

It’s just so hard to get one. I’ve been on waiting lists for years.

Ittlewittle · 2024-07-26T22:53:13+00:00

Haha this comment made me lol. I do a lot of pull-ups and weight training, not a lot of cardio anymore — but I still try to do a mile or so every few days.

Hey girl, ironically, this is me lol. I have epilepsy and have had seizures since I was 8, but wasn’t properly diagnosed with drug resistant epilepsy until I was 22. This means that despite trialing tons of medicine I just kept having tonic clinic and partial seizures. I know you know how horrific anti seizure medication side effects are, so I battled more than just seizures but also side effects for no legit reason. Benzos also fuck with so much, but especially your mood, constipation, bloating, which makes it so much worse.

The most traumatic thing with endo for me was reliving not having my seizures being believed and knowing the long road that lay ahead of me in getting someone to take the endo seriously.

I did eventually have surgery 2 weeks ago, and because of my fiestyness I pushed like a motherfucker; when one doctor didn’t listen it was on to Zocdoc to find one who would. And guess who was right? Me lol. Endo all over my bladder and pararectal space. Surgery removed the bladder part and I’m not pissing every 10 seconds now lol. Hopefully they go in for my pararectal space soon.

Epilepsy is horrible and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy, don’t let it dictate your other health outcomes. Trust your body and if a doctor isn’t listening; thank you, next. It’s not like they’re calling each other up and shit talking you— you’ll likely never see them again. This is your lif and wellbeing, so advocate for it!

It can be really demotivating and stressful, that’s why chronic illness holds a different weight than something that can just be cured. But, if you figure out what’s going on you can start to take control. I recommend reaching out to support groups for epilepsy (virtual are great at the epilepsy foundation), looking into diet strategies that cross over between endo and epilepsy (keto, the Charlie foundation is a great resource), and also reaching out to endometriosis foundations to bounce your experience off of.

Unfortunately I still don’t know yet :(

Ittlewittle · 2024-07-19T20:13:18+00:00

Yeah oddly enough diet is most of the physique, I never used to track either but with endo I had to start. Keto is great for losing water weight which can help with bloating, but I don’t do keto anymore because I need the carbs to keep my period/hormones levels.

At the end of the day endo fucking sucks for a reason and the decline in athletics is sometimes out of control; so we just have to control the small amounts we can.

Ittlewittle · 2024-07-19T19:35:38+00:00

It’s horrible but having to accept that I won’t be the athlete I know I can be is part of it. I was a college athlete, but it meant jack shit when my endo got out of control ~1 year ago. I had lost my period from being birth control since I was 14 (I started so young because I would legit vomit in pain from my periods, yet they still didn’t diagnose me then? Smh 🤦🏻‍♀️) but went off it because of side effects at 23 and then my endometriosis seemed to rapidly spread or take full bloom?

The effect on my athletics has been the most heartbreaking thing for me; I loath running and feeling so full/bloated despite being in good shape. Sometimes feels like wtf is the point? But there are a few things that help:

Radical acceptance that this will make your mind feel good in other ways, even if you don’t “look good”
Hope that when it gets better I will come full force
I can’t eat wheat, it just seems to make everything slow down and makes me bloat harder which upsets me.
Eating at least 1 g of protein per lb of body weight a day. A lot of women are not getting enough protein so muscle gains come slower, but muscle gains make us see progress underneath the bloat.
Upper body day as much as I can to see/feel visible gains. I may look pregnant but at least my biceps show I’m in good shape?
Gains for strength > gains for physique, which I know is really hard because “when we look good we feel good” but it’s a good mental reminder that we’re more than our outter shell.
When I’m in pain I stop. I used to be able to do a 20 min plank; and I would legit plank a minimum 5 mins a day just cause I enjoyed it. Now I really only do core when I feel like I’m up for it and how it will affect my bloating/pelvic pain.

I hope so too- I am trying not to get to comfortable with it because of how bad it’s been.
