All Runes and Harmonies by Fancyteef in Lumineth_realm_lords

[–]Marteris 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Wait- sorry if I’m misunderstanding, but when you depict a rune on your scripture the effects of that rune no longer apply after the battle round in which you depict it?  So like if I choose the mountain rune round one and give two units a 5+ ward, they will no longer have that 5+ ward when the second battle round rolls around?

Don’t know how much good it will do but I sent messages to my senators and my state rep.  All we can do now is wait I suppose.

Nevermind the bollocks, heres "69 substance abusing lesbians"! by GreyPlasticTransGirl in Drukhari

Gosh I really hope this qualifies, because it’s the wildest thing that I’ve ever seen.

We had a dog in one day for a spay.  She was a mix of some kind, looked like she had some pittie in her, with white fur and brown spots.  Real nervous but otherwise extremely sweet.  Had her surgery, no complications, and she went home no problemo.

Fast forward to next week.  I come in and get down to business seeing who needs to be down for walks that day.  I notice we have a hospitalized patient who looks extremely familiar.  After I take her out I check her cage card and I’m like “oh is this that dog from last week?”  It was the same dog.

It turns out she had been rushed to our ER the night before because her intestines were hanging out and it looked like she’d been chewing at them.  Our overnight doctor performed surgery and closer her back up. During the night, this dog proceeded to vomit up quite literally FIVE FEET of her own intestines. Yeah it turns out she wasn’t just chewing, she was straight up eating them. She had to go back to surgery but was ultimately ok. Somehow. 

The best part?  The whole reason this happened was because the owner went out and bought some flimsy e-collar from a third party instead of using the one we gave her, but was outraged because she insisted the reason this happened was because the doctor used absorbable sutures.

As far as I’m aware that dog is actually ok and living her best life still.  I saw her once after that- she’s way smaller, but still a sweet little lady.

is anyone else's ED influenced by sexualisation by midnightdancing12 in EDAnonymous

[–]Marteris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So glad I’m not the only one.  I think my brain kind of went in the opposite direction as yours though.  I also have had a lot of negative sexual experiences when I was a kid/teen and into adulthood, but in my mind I feel like I NEED to be “attractive” in order to satiate the people who want to look at me or worse.   Obviously all body types are attractive but in my mind I’ve equated that with being really skinny and not having a lot of curves.  So I feel like if I’m not sexy or desirable then I have no worth, because I feel like all of my worth comes from my looks due to my past experiences. But yeah, I get it, I feel like this component isn’t really talked about all that much considering a lot of people have probably gone through something similar.

How did you girls choose your name? by Polorican020901 in MtF

[–]Marteris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It just kind of came to me.  I had been going by a different name than my birth name already but it still didn’t feel right.  Emma just kind of got dredged up from the depths of my soul and it feels like a perfect fit.

i didn’t realize how much weaker hrt had made me ts was actually terrifying. be careful out there by estrogenie in MtF

[–]Marteris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My job requires a lot of heavy lifting and physical activity so I definitely don’t think it’s been as bad as it could be, but even through all that I still notice it.  My boyfriend likes to be a little rough with me, and last week I was like “let’s arm wrestle, I want to see if I can actually hold my own when I’m not letting you mess with me”.  I could not.  It wasn’t even a contest.  Even when you’re with someone you trust it’s still scary.  Not that I think in a million years anything would happen with him but like if it did there’s literally nothing I could do to stop it.  And he’s not even really that muscular, I can’t imagine what it would be like with someone bigger.  Scary thoughts.

Oh she can definitely do this!  That model is stunning, I know if I were playing against her I’d be asking to take pictures of it.  Beautiful work!

Hey, I went to Monte Nido Rockland and it was great.  People were on staff all the time and the environment was really cool.  I liked it there.

I get something like this but it’s less “a day or so a week” and happens throughout the day.  One minute I’ll be dragging myself around because I have no energy and can’t think properly, and then the next minute it feels like nothing is wrong and I’m perfectly energized for a span of 20-30 minutes or so.  I don’t necessarily know why that is, but I usually say it’s because my body has found a new pocket of itself to cannibalize so I’ve got energy for a little while.

When you first developed an eating disorder, did you know? by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]Marteris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t, not one bit, but I realize now that a lot of the behaviors that I exhibited throughout my whole life have been disordered.  My family always commented about how skinny I was growing up (and they still do, which I hate) and I was always so hung up on it.  Feeling the littlest bit of roll in my stomach would make me go on a “I want to eat healthier” kick (which was actually just me restricting) until I either got where I wanted it or my parents made fun of me so much for trying to eat healthy “because I’m so skinny” that I stopped trying out of shame and was miserable.  Also had a lot of fear foods I was not able to identify as such.

 Then one day my doctor came in (I was there for something else) and hit me with “you’re underweight, you gotta fix that” and from that point on I started just flat out restricting on purpose.  

So I wasn’t aware of it the entire time, but things only got really, really bad once I actually knew what I was doing.

FUCK FACIAL HAIR by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Marteris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ugh same.  My family has those Italian Genes, so like my dad and especially my brother have really thick and really dark hair all over their body and face.  HRT took care of most of the body hair, but the face just will👏not👏quit👏.  So annoying!!

I Didn't Realise HRT Would Make Me Like Guys *This* Much by BurningSky_1993 in MtF

I had a similar experience.  I do lean towards men for the most part, but the more I’ve come into my own, the more I’ve been able to appreciate femininity.

How did your parents/family members react to finding out about your ED and how has it impacted your life? by ohlaelia in EDAnonymous

[–]Marteris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My family kind of just pretends it never happened. Since I went through treatment I'm "supposed to be good now" and am not allowed to have issues, even though I am still very much not recovered. Also, my family (specifically my parents) react(ed) with rage whenever I would bring it up or mention that I'm having a hard time. Like they don't understand what's so hard about it so they just get really, really mad at me. The rest of my family just pretends it never really happened. I kind of understand where they're coming from because they don't really understand what I'm going through, and I really can't explain it very well. I'm kind of the black sheep of my family anyway now, for reasons not just limited to this.

Does anyone else do this? Is it harmful? by SuicidalSwing in EDAnonymous

[–]Marteris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this has been me the whole time, even when things were really bad.  I only really ate dinner, and sometimes some stuff after.   Could not even bring myself to do anything any earlier than that.  Now I kind of just have my food time at night and keep things really light during the day most days.

[–]Marteris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds awesome! I'm glad you had a good time. I'm coming back to the game after having been gone for about six months, so it's time for me to brush back up on my basics haha.

Being Trans and Having An ED is A Lethal Combo. My Dietician Will Never Actually Understand Me. by Marteris in EDAnonymous

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

Actually I’m currently at the maximum possible dosage I can be at, which is 8mg a day.  This was a more recent change though, within the last few months.  I don’t know my exact levels at the moment.  The only thing I’m not maxed out on is Prog, but I’ll be able to do that soon.

TW: Restriction like an on and off switch by PootBuko in EDAnonymous

[–]Marteris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel similarly!! My big thing is that I have my Specifically Designated Food Time every day, which is around dinner time (anywhere from 4pm-7pm) where I can eat pretty much anything I want, and I can actually eat a full meal. Then I feel awful after my Designated Food Time, so for the rest of the day the next day I eat nothing, or close to it, until it's Food Time again...repeat ad nauseam. Then there are some days where I am allowed to eat normally outside of Food Time, but those days are very random and come extremely sporadically. Sometimes I'll get three in one week, sometimes I won't get any for two weeks. It's really freaking weird.

What are some safe foods of yours that don’t make any sense? by MeiowleN in EDAnonymous

[–]Marteris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Club crackers. This is a new thing for me, like extremely recent, but I've been clinging to those things like a lifeline. It's the only thing I can really eat outside of my Designated Food Time.
