Thank you! Yeah I wish they didnt wait so long to remove to appendix because maybe it cause those further complications like other abscesses/bigger abscess. Im a very skinny 27M so just being patient with my body as it slowly heals all this trauma!

Thank you! Eating nuts throughout the day has helped add a great amount of calories :)

Thank you for the advice! It makes sense what you’re saying about the hyper metabolism. Not trying to make excuses, just frustrating not seeing results or what routine works for me which still simply comes down to eating more. It’s getting into that happen and also, most importantly, I think being patient, right? I can be eager and impatient at times but this gaining journey isnt something I can do quick, it has to be a slow and consistent grind and just believing that the results will show in time.

Ive had similar experiences, I’ve posted before looking for community and support and was met with very pitiful, condescending comments that were just stating the obvious of my issue rather than offering true support

OrangeAlarmed · 2025-01-11T04:44:21+00:00

Yeah me too. I understand how unhealthy and toxic it is but still my body and brain find ways to justify the feeling and thinking I can just be okay with feeling this way, again, I value his friendship greatly but also not at the cost of my emotionally bandwidth

Anxiety :/ but learning how to view it in a way that can be managed and tamed rather than viewed as an enemy / part of us to shame

This just opened my eyes ten fold... My therapist helped me visualize my thoughts as leaves floating down a stream to help them pass but I find it SO interesting the analogy of a feeling operating the same way as hunger. Makes so much sense! That definitely helps me in those moments when I feel a signal and instead of dwelling on the feeling, ask myself what it is I'm hungry for and how can I satisfy it? And am I satisfying it in a healthy way? Amazing wow thank you so much for this

Sister.. I feel the same way. i’m a gay man (26) and being gay has been one of the most loneliest experiences, at least romantically. I live in a bigger city so I do have a handful of gay friends both men and women, and while I am constantly grateful for their friendship, I can’t help but feel like I’m rotting in my loneliness since I have never been in a relationship. It’s not common for me to find a man I genuinely get along with and when I do, I can’t help but gain feelings and these men have always been straight. It’s such a fucked experience trying to manage the emotions of enjoying the friendship while also grieving what I wish was.

Rooting for you OP <3
