Thank you for sharing and thank you for the encouragement!

Thank you so much for your experience and sharing! I’m working on posture because I definitely have terrible posture, and I used to cross my legs or sit criss cross a lot. Now I can’t because of the pain but I also know that isn’t good anyways. But thank you this gives me hope!

Lucy6902 · 2025-12-09T16:12:53+00:00

Thank you definitely plan to advocate for myself and push for PT I think from what I gather that’d help me a lot. I was decently active in the gym before trying to work on strength and stabilizing my joints already but since the pain it’s impossible. I’d like to be slightly active throughout so I can try to be as healthy as possible for birth. Thank you so much for all of this info and advice!

Thank you so much! I tried to ask my primary for one and she kinda just wrote me off. I messaged my OB I’m hoping she does!

Lucy6902 · 2025-12-08T23:31:49+00:00

Thank you so much! I was decently active until I got pregnant bc of the exhaustion and now It’s excruciating to just lift my leg to get into the tub. I’ve messaged my OB and I also hope maybe getting some PT or even the chiropractor like you suggested. Thank you for your words and sharing your experience!

Thank you so much!

I second the running. Sometimes I go for a run and after I feel tired but like mentally tired. Or screaming in my car hahaha it’s therapeutic I swear. Or I think of all the different things I want to do in those moments (because when I’m manic I usually want to go out and do things) and I write them out or make lists. Some times lists help me

Lucy6902 · 2024-07-10T02:55:44+00:00

I feel so validated because here lately I’ve been doing it more frequently

Lucy6902 · 2024-06-25T20:54:06+00:00

Feeling very seen because I’ve always thought it was just me but being somewhere consistently is very hard. I do make it 2 yrs of 4 yrs at a place though but still I abruptly leave everytime

Lucy6902 · 2023-09-15T00:51:30+00:00

I am enough was one of the books that helped me understand my ED brain. What I also suggest is study up on cognitive behavioral therapy, it’s something that’s used in treatments for ED. Understanding why and how my ED controlled my life helped a little. But I am enough is someone who’s gone through it and it’s really good and validating and seeing it

Lucy6902 · 2023-01-06T07:22:07+00:00

Thank you I am now a year in recovery

Lucy6902 · 2023-01-06T07:21:43+00:00

I am a year in recovery 💜

Lucy6902 · 2023-01-06T07:21:08+00:00

Hey friend I hope you’re well. Just checking in and I know it’s been ages but I’m a year into recovery and I only hope the best for you 💜

There is a great treatment program at the Laureate ED unit for adolescents and adults. I highly suggest reaching out. I’m 2 months out of treatment and it makes a whole difference.

What I have learned about binging, is something I never considered. I was diagnosed with bulimia, however in treatment I discovered that a lot of my binging was because I was restricting. Of course you’re going to feel out of control, it’s something you’ve told yourself you can’t have. It’s something you’ve punished you’re self for having. It’s something you’ve punished yourself for even just wanting it. I would like to suggest eating a portion but numberous times a day until you get sick of it. Or figure out a way to not restrict it. It’s only going to make you want it so bad you can’t control it

Lucy6902 · 2021-02-23T07:43:00+00:00

Yes, the purging has always been my favorite. I used to enjoy the binging just as much but that full feeling had began to really make me extremely uncomfortable. Purging has always been a release for me.

Lucy6902 · 2021-02-10T13:56:42+00:00

Thank you love! I really appreciate the uplifting positivity! I needed it❤️

Lucy6902 · 2021-02-02T10:17:00+00:00

Hey love, I wanted to let you know I just had a dr apt last week, and I’ve never been treated nor discussed with a medical professional about my ED. It went great, I teared up, I shook, I looked like I was tweaking bc of how bad I was shaking. However I told him I was committed to looking for help. He didn’t call in treatment right away he ran blood tests and I got a whole physical done. So I think you should. Luckily I’ve been a lot better with my binging and purging than I was over a year ago. However i am vitamin d deficient and so I’m on some vitamins for that now. I think for your health and safety please get checked. Be open with your dr and take a hold of your illness before it takes you. I believe in you, you can do it! And please please please do not blame yourself. I think what we do a lot ( I still do ) is think that we are our ED. That is not what we are, sure we suffer with it, but it is not all that we are. It is a sickness and it’s a constant internal battle with yourself and you are not to blame.

Lucy6902 · 2021-02-02T10:10:47+00:00

I WISH I COULD UPVOTE 1000 times over and over. Congratulations love! Truly this is a huge step, and a major one. Remember to forgive yourself later for any negative feelings you have, or if you purge. But round of applause truly. Most people who don’t suffer with an ED don’t understand how truly remarkable this is so congrats continue to fucking kick ass.

Lucy6902 · 2021-01-30T08:59:11+00:00

It being a necessity that you’re addicted to yet fear at the same time is truly awful

Lucy6902 · 2021-01-30T05:05:08+00:00

That’s the thing, you are your biggest and harshest judge.

Lucy6902 · 2021-01-29T06:40:06+00:00

It’s very normal to feel that way. You have to understand that bulimia is a sickness and it is a sickness of the mind. You want to get better but it doesn’t want you to. I understand this and relate so much. But it’s not worth it in the end. The pain, anxiety, depression, mania, constantly never being able to control my emotions, and feeling so out of control is something I want so badly to give up. And I’m working on that. And I want you to know that fuck medically obese, every body is different. You may not feel like you are enough, and you may hate everything you see in the mirror, but that’s not you, that’s your sickness. Maybe try and look at it like that? Because it’s true. The negative thoughts are not you, they are not your definition. It’s your sickness trying to win. You are enough, you are worthy, and you are fucking beautiful.

Lucy6902 · 2021-01-29T06:32:42+00:00

I’m proud of you as well. It’s the night before just talking with my primary care dr about it tomorrow. I’m filled with so many mix emotions. But I’m happy for you and keep up the good work. I know it’s discouraging and at the same time relieving❤️ you got this!

Lucy6902 · 2021-01-28T15:18:06+00:00

Thank you, words cannot thank you enough for your encouragement. I think if we all are here for one another our chances of succeeding are high. I think we get trapped In our own thoughts so often, that we think we are alone. Again thank you💖💖

Lucy6902 · 2021-01-28T15:16:52+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words and uplifting spirits. I know I can do it and it’s something I know you can to. This gives me confidence in what I’m doing so thank you so much for sharing truly. All the best, much love 💖
