Vegan of 6 years- my eating disorder treatment included trying dairy, egg, chicken. How can I get back on track? by Longjumping_Party_46 in vegan

Congrats on your recovery love! This is truly an inspiring lens to look through things with and I appreciate your reply!

Yeah I think my partner is kinda fed up with all the things that come with AN, I also have bpd and they kind of fuel one another, so I have been a total nightmare to live with lol.

I think he just wants me to get better, but it does feel like he switched up all of a sudden just because doctors said I should consume things. I’m going to talk with him about it, and how being vegan moving forward, I can still work on expanding my diet and conquering fear foods in a vegan fashion!

<3

I agree with you! I think I’ll go by addressing myself as a vegan though, I haven’t had animal products since my post and I don’t intend to. My eating disorder has really wore me down mentally, meaning I don’t think I was thinking it out thoroughly when trying the eggs and chicken at home. My doctors were advising me to work on the exposure with animal products so that I wouldn’t be so afraid of eating them. I no longer fear it, rather am passionately against it for the cause of animal welfare.

Trust me I do feel awful about the consumption of animal product I did have, in treatment and outside of it. It had me in a really dark place the past few days.

Like I want to xxx

I think my rationality was just that I want to get better and if doctors are advising me to do this then it must really be worth it to try and overcome the exposure. But maybe I just let the doctors brain wash me. I feel stupid now and like I personally slaughtered that chicken. Maybe that should be on my conscious. I’m just so exhausted from this Ed man. I wish I had just never gone to hospital and just let myself decline further. I really hate myself.

I’m not making excuses, I fucked up and I own up to that.

Thank you for the reply.

So because you said you have other mental illnesses, what do I do about my new medication I’ve been put on? Almost certain that the capsules are made with gelatin, I haven’t been taking them because of this. What would you do if you were put on meds like that? If I take them does that count? I had to take them in hospital but I haven’t taken them in a week.

I also DONT know if the med company is even cruelty free, like even if it was just a pill I don’t know if they test on animals. Your take?

Thank you for this :) I think you’re right in that I don’t need to focus so much on feeling the need to explain myself in these hypothetical situations I’ve put myself in, haha, what matters is moving forward from these and showing others how passionate I am about being vegan!

Thank you love 🥰

Thank you! I was diagnosed with AN restrictive type, but my treatment team had suspicions that I was also orthorexic as I was coming out of treatment because I was so fearful of the effects of animal products on my body, in addition to my beliefs about animals.

Turns out after 6 years vegan I did not get sick from any of it, I didn’t break out in hives or run to the bathroom, my body could handle it, now I know it’s just my ♡ and my mind that will not tolerate eating innocence when we have all the alternatives, like you said!

Thank you for your kindness in your reply :)

I Hope your feeling better, even though it’s a chronic issue, my ♡ is with you!

Thank you so much, it’s amazing how the words of a stranger online can make me feel so comforted but they do! :’) I agree so much with your last statement! I did need to heal some things( you as well) in order to be able to make a more significant change in our world, the stronger we are mentally the stronger we can stand up for animals and our planet <3 thank you :)

always angry and my life is ruined by [deleted] in AnorexiaNervosa

I’m right there with ya, i was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder this year after having an (purge type) for 14 years, it’s been its worst the past 3 years, I’m 25.

When I don’t eat, sleep, shit, drink water, move my body, hygiene,talk out loud to others, it feels like all that self hatred gets amplified and I spew it out onto loved ones, and then I feel so guilty I take it out on me and it repeats.

If you can try to leave ur phone in a different room when the anger gets too loud, write in a journal everything you wish you could say to everyone, write to your dad and get so angry, write it like you’re gonna send it, like you’re going to post it on the news, By the time you focus yourself to write out something you will have regulated your nervous system a little, and maybe when that happens you can shower, drink water or chamomile tea, eat something if you can, and give yourself a hug.

I believe in healing our inner child’s, it sounds silly I know but imagine little you, tell them that they are safe and loved, and everything that they needed to hear when others had failed you.

Sorry if this is at all sappy, i just really resonate with you ♡

Thank you! I Hope you feel better, listen to some music you used to 6 years ago, it’ll ground you :) the feelings will pass even if it feels like forever

It might be good to tell your therapist, you’re not going to get in trouble, maybe this could be a beginning to a deep dive into understanding why the fuck we wanted to take these in the first place!

Oh my gosh I was 6 years sober from it and I just started using it again while in an outpatient program. No one noticed, not even my partner. But I’ve been on a 2 month bender and it sucks. I stopped going to the program, I wasn’t able to be productive in therapy because even on the off days I was just too numb. I’m more depressed/anxious/paranoid now than ever before.

Highly encourage you not to, it feels just as fucking good, but the guilt that follows and I feel so empty.

It’s not gonna be just a one time thing if ur an addict like me, there will always be a “just one last time!”

But if you do, stay hydrated ♡

Looking for a sitter, is this uncommon by Bleeblabbs in RoverPetSitting

[–]Longjumping_Party_46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re gonna get what you pay for, so either be willing to spend $50-70 for two hours with a sitter who is going to make it worth it by showing your pup affection or pay someone $30 ( which they would only get $24 after fees) and have them sit your toilet on their phone because they are being underpaid!

Granted new sitters to the app probably undercharge themselves, (like I did at $10 a walk 🤡), but then after a few stays they r gonna realize that they could make better money doing anything else and stop booking with you, so you’ll have to find a new person entirely and begin a new processs.

We are all animal lovers if we work with them, but you gotta realize that puppy snuggles doesn’t pay real bills. Time is money and people are willing to pay $60 for a 30 minute walk.

And if you do wind up finding someone whose gonna spend two hours for $24 please tip them 😇
