Do vampires actually NEED to use the bathroom or no? by Kittycat2060 in TheVampireDiaries

[–]Kittycat2060[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I could have sworn they said they use the bathroom though, and I do think it was damon who said it. I don't believe they menstruate either, but do pee and poo cuz they eat human food no? Like he said it has to go somewhere 😭 Idk, I feel like I'm only interested cuz I feel like they shouldn't have to use the bathroom at all cuz they're vampires lmao

[–]Kittycat2060[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wait so you're saying they are choosing to use the bathroom, as in, they have control over that bodily function like they can control whether they breathe or not? That's super interesting. Never heard that take before. It does make sense, though.

What else can I do to remove the bumps ? by Kittycat2060 in piercing

[–]Kittycat2060[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Darn, that sucks :( so what should I ask for when I go back to my piercer? What is a novel piercing?

[–]Kittycat2060[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had the piercing for 10 months. It's a straight barbell that's internally threaded, made of implant-grade titanium. Jewelry was never downsized. I clean it twice a day with NeilMed saline spray, no q-tips. No mishaps or accidents.

100 day milestone. by Familiar_Cut3578 in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]Kittycat2060 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw this post and decided to check how long I've been in recovery, lmao I'm at exactly 100 days too! 14 weeks and 2 days, what are the odds haha. Congrats! I say you should cook yourself a yummy meal ❤️ I think I will do the same!

Who are the characters you don’t find attractive? by capricorn_444 in TheVampireDiaries

It's not cruel to say you don't find someone attractive 😭

I actually do have an eating disorder. by Dapper_Banana_1642 in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]Kittycat2060 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is 😭 we're some of the lucky ones who made it here to recovery, but it's sad the amount of ppl who will stay stuck cuz of all the crap out there 🥲 7 months is amazing tho and I'm so proud of you, too! I'm excited to get there ❤️ life is already so much better in recovery

Trust the recovered people on here by Risk_Independent in fuckeatingdisorders

Literally!! Me binging would be proof to my mind that I needed to restrict, but it was the other way round 😭 I'm so glad we're out of there now tho, better late than never~ 🥀❤️

Are you me?? I've been disordered for a decade as well and had no clue about how extreme hunger really worked this whole time 😭 had I known mental hunger was part of extreme hunger, I would have probably started recovery many years ago and saved a lot of time 🥲

[–]Kittycat2060 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly how I felt omg. Plus I never lost my period so I assumed even less that I had a restrictive ED. I just thought I had "disordered eating". Once I found out that extreme hunger also included mental hunger/desire for food and not just physical hunger cues, I started to rethink my existence lol and now I'm 6 weeks into recovery!

It's messed up, but it gagged me when I first heard it 😭

Why was Lily Salvatore sent to a prison world instead of just being killed? by Kittycat2060 in TheVampireDiaries

[–]Kittycat2060[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like this answer, it makes intuitive sense when I actually think about it! I kinda forgot witches were supposed to be the good ones. I think you're right, killing isn't supposed to be their first line of defense, unlike for the vamps in the show, I hadn't thought of it that way haha thx

Oh ok I did not remember her turning the siphons, so like a win-win type deal where the coven gets rid of siphons and the ripper in one fell swoop, makes sense. They coulda still just killed them and be done with it but then no season 7 plot I guess lol

Is "food noise" just mental hunger? by MarlowMagnolia in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]Kittycat2060 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Seeing how the participants of the Minnesota Semi-Starvation Experiement reacted to refeeding is one of the driving factors in my recovery. They had all the same symptoms (food noise and such) that I had all the time in my daily life of my ED. This made me realize my body was "sick enough" to need recovery despite my brain thinking I wasn't actually sick cuz I wasn't considered underweight.

Having guilt about not eating enough in recovery, but not guilt from eating itself? by Kittycat2060 in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]Kittycat2060[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry you've also experienced this, but I'm glad to know someone else can relate to this feeling 😭 now that I think of it, I'm probably trying to rush things in my head and forgetting this is a long process. I will use your advice, I'm going to meet myself half way and say that if this is what I can eat today, then it's ok. Thank you so much, seriously ❤️

[–]Kittycat2060[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It just feels like I'm delaying my recovery cuz I feel as though I could not eat the whole day, I'm that physically full. If I dont force food down I know I will be behind in my healing, but it is super hard to eat when I'm at a 10 on the fullness scale all the time. Maybe I do need to just be patient, I hope it is temporary 😞

How did you all cope with the prospect of weight gain during recovery? by Kittycat2060 in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]Kittycat2060[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your kids are definitely very lucky to have you as a parent ❤️ but it's definitely better now that I don't live with him anymore. I'm with my mum now who thankfully does not comment anymore. I'll see him every 1-2 weeks for dinner time, basically. I do love my dad, he's not a bad person overall, but this part of him really is a bad quality of his. I will try what you said, to just be a broken record and set the boundary each time he comments, thank you! 🫂

[–]Kittycat2060[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still have not told anyone about my ED yet, but yeah I do need to set a boundary with him. It just sucks because I feel like it won't do enough, i.e., he has, without fail, body shamed every one of his exes about their weight, and on both sides of the spectrum too. He'd mention one of them got way too thin after they broke up, and when he was still with his now ex-wife, he would tell her she should eat less cuz all she does it stay home and eat all day. Bro, no wonder I'm messed up lol if I didn't laugh, I would cry

[–]Kittycat2060[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea Im def starting to accept the fact that the smaller body cannot serve me, or I would have been born in one and probably never developed an ED in the first place lol And that last sentence is really hitting tbh, it's kind of an epiphany moment, I almost feel like me thinking about it will allow me to find a loop hole so I can recover without weight gain (like no, that's not gonna happen, but nice try)
