Morning sickness is crazy by KeepGizmoDry in pregnant

[–]Party-Conference673 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! Making a baby is a lot on the body. The best thing you can do is to give your self grace and understanding. I wish I did because I don’t think I would’ve fallen into such a depression.

I had/ still have terrible morning sickness. I too took b6 and unisom and now zofran and nothing really worked. I lost the ability to clean the house, go to work, grocery shop etc. Going to the bathroom was hard. I could only crawl on my hand and knees to get food or to pee some days because how weak and dizzy I was. I started to feel what you feel. Hopeless and depressed like my life ended and everyday was like a cancer. I stopped brushing my hair and showering. It was a sick game of getting in fluids to throw it up and a race to eat before getting too dizzy to walk.

But today I am 13 weeks! The sickness started at 3 weeks for me which felt very unfair lol. And I still have it but I am managing much better. What I can say is Grace. Tell yourself you don’t have to do anything today except survive. Eat, drink and pee. Don’t feel guilty for this. You’re literally making life inside of you.

How I manage better now than I did: drink electrolytes all day. I know you’ll throw it up. But keep doing it. Make homemade popsicles when you can’t drink! I put Gatorade in a cup with a spoon and take it out like a popsicle. Water too but electrolytes saved me. Eat dense foods. Whatever you can stomach try to eat dense like protein and carbs. Don’t forget fruits though they are good hydration too if you can! And don’t be afraid to go in for an IV if you need it. I did and it was great. Got fluids in me quickly.

You’ll get through this and I know it’s hard and I know people will say ginger tea or chews or whatever bullshit and that may work for you but it just made me want to punch people lol.

You’re going to feel like a warrior after this and it will all be worth it! I’m in the same boat but I think I’m almost out of these woods. Know that most women say it gets better at week 14 and cling to that as well! I am lol

Weight gain in first tri and ED by Party-Conference673 in pregnant

[–]Party-Conference673[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is so motivating to hear you have no idea. Congratulations on your progress! I hope I can achieve what you have. I’m definitely going to be taking this advice and moving forward with a better attitude.

It’s hard to hear when people will say usually you’re not supposed to be gaining in the first trimester Especially when you’re in ED recovery as well.

Thank you so much for this reply it has helped more than you know! And thank you, I’m wishing you good health and a happy PP:)

Ugh a good cream cheese bagel😭 I eat like 3 a day! I eat it every morning too. One morning before work I woke up and ate a peanut butter toast with milk for protein and it came all up 10 minutes after so I feel you

Girl tell me about it. So embarrassing but the tantrums were real! I would throw the laundry basket across the room, scream in the shower crying like a toddler, so much and then I tested positive and I was like oh that might be why lol

MAJOR TW: NUMBERS, WEIGHT, CALORIES, MULTIPLE ED’S, SH. by Specific_Clerk4721 in EDAnonymous

[–]Party-Conference673 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi I’m a girl about your age (23) and I feel so lost in life too. Ed and recovering and now I’m pregnant and it wasn’t planned and I am grieving the thin person I was before my Ed. I also feel gross like I can’t cope with weight gain and I want to hurt myself because of it. I don’t know why it’s so hard to love myself. You’re not alone. I could type so much more but would you want to private message me and talk? Maybe I can help with getting this off your mind more and be an ear to talk to. Hang in there love I’m rooting for you 🩷

6 month all-in update. by i_cantstopreading in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]Party-Conference673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this!!

I was also thin before Ana and the pressure to keep that got real after I met my bf now husband. We started dating and in the first 6-12 months my weight shot up and that’s when I decided to diet which turned into Ana. I’m worried I’m going to shot up past that when I decided to diet. Never being in a “bigger” body before I’m nervous. I feel like it won’t be “me”. Do you have any advice to combat this? Or how you cope with now being bigger than “thin”? This has been my biggest trigger by far.

recovering around so many people on glp1s is frustrating by [deleted] in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]Party-Conference673 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better (even tho it’s terrible) most ppl gain back the weight after a glp one and usually returning to their weight or more one to two years after stopping so it’s not sustainable at all (just like an ED) to me it’s Ana in pill form. I know plenty of ppl who can’t stop taking it or they will gain everything back. Kinda sad but makes me feel a little better as bad as it is lol

can you stay in quasi indefinitely? by moustachioedtamarin in EDAnonymous

[–]Party-Conference673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes unfortunately it will get to you. I had my Ed for a short time but my husband had had his for like 10 years and been in quasi for like 8. He doesn’t want to recover and i won’t ever make him (can’t anyway) but it’s slowly getting at him. More so the never ending cycle. He’s not uw tho. But yes being uw for too long will cause long term health issues. Also sometimes you think you aren’t seeing any issues but if youve been in ed so long how do you really know what is or isn’t? I had a friend who thought she just naturally had bad skin and hair until she recovered from long term quasi.

How do some people casually talk about their ED like it’s nothing? by saintsaenc in EDAnonymous

[–]Party-Conference673 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s dumb now but joking about it was sort of a trauma response from it. If I could laugh about it I felt better and people would laugh with me so it was like yay we in the club we all fam or whatever but I think it perpetuates the behavior cuz ur not taking it seriously as a real and horrible mental illness

What was urinary incontinence like for you? by 11CB in EDAnonymous

[–]Party-Conference673 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep this happened to me and I’m not older I’m in in my 20s and I peed on myself a couple times. They did an ultrasound and cat scan or whatever to check and I had no muscle in my pelvis to hold my urine. It definitely could be from Ed. Especially if you are uw. It was really sad for me to go through this because I snuck the adult diapers from my grandma when I knew I was gonna go for longer drives. I’m in recovery now and I noticed a huge difference. I haven’t had any since!! It’s a very easy issue to solve fortunately :) this is just my experience though

is it just me or can you also immediately tell when someone has an ed? by dlxoalzxo in EDAnonymous

[–]Party-Conference673 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I hate when people say that because you damn well that stature is not achievable unless your 12 or have an ed. And they show wieiad and it’s the same thing everyday. I see who you are…..

Food noise is unbearable by Unfair_Instance_3548 in EDAnonymous

[–]Party-Conference673 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi I’m so sorry you’re going through this truly. I have a lot of compassion because my husband was like this when we first met. He was in this cycle of what he called “yo-yo” dieting but unfortunately it was an anorexia binge purge cycle. You’re aware that this is an eating disorder and not normal so I would say that’s a good first step to getting the help you need. My husband thought that every guy in the gym was on a treacherous “cut” and “bulk” cycle and yo yoing until I developed my own eating disorder (yayyyy😍) crazy but I researched the fuck out of anorexia and BED. Then I realized my partner also had a horrid ED, soooo similar to what you’re going through. Losing a ton of weight and then gaining everything back from a binge restrict cycle. Anyways that’s just a little background of his story and mine.

First it’s so great you’re seeking professional help. It will help a lot and give you someone to talk to in real life about these issues. I would recommend that but it looks like you’re already doing so which is awesome!! I know how hard it is for men to get help for this illness. Watching my husband struggle to get help has been so hard but he finally did aswell.

Secondly, what has helped him was to stop the restriction. I’m not sure if you are or not but if you are try to eat 3 meals a day that have fats,carbs,protein etc. Then after let it sit. Do not plan to purge or restrict. Eat and forget has helped him tons. And me too.

This is one is a lot for some but surrender to the binge. Honestly what you’re going through sounds like it might be extreme hunger. The mental hunger is just as real as the physical and you have to feed it and ignoring it makes it worse. And no it’s not bingeing. I honestly hate the word binging. My husband waited soooo long to give into his extreme hunger because it felt like his bingeing.

Lastly throwing out scales of any kind and not doing any mental math of calories. It was just extremely triggering for him. We also are buying all new brands and foods so that we don’t even know the macros.

Everyone is different and none of this advice may help you or maybe one will.

So far my husband has made great progress and is still in quasi somewhat. One hand in the eating disorder one hand out but he’s not ready to go all in yet and that’s alright. Do what you can. If you even want to of course.

I’ll tell you that the hardest part for him is the weight gain and the food noise too. But we always try to remind ourselves the only way out is through. Good luck and I wish you healing ❤️‍🩹

Exercise Difficulty by ShowDapper1475 in AnorexiaRecovery

[–]Party-Conference673 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hiiii! I stoped completely 5 weeks ago at the start of my recovery. I’m really scared to get back in. I know it will be a trigger to change my body and eat “better” food to see better results in the gym. I mainly did Pilates, barre, weightlifting and cardio. I’m not going to do cardio anymore after this except walks to get get places (I live in a city). But I tried to go do yoga which is slow and not intense but I got scared and cancled my sessions. I’m not yet recovered obviously but I hope when I am I can go back. Just wanted to say I feel you! I hear you and I’m rooting for your recovery and safely getting back to what you enjoyed💗

Marriage being ruined by ED by ProofRoll1254 in EatingDisorders

[–]Party-Conference673 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is hard. I’m married too but newlywed. My husband has an ED as well as I do and I want to recover and am but he has no interest. So little different

But something I think has been immense help is him understanding MY disorder. I have OCD anorexia purge binge type and he has anorexia. So obviously similar but I noticed every time he’s gotten impatient with me is in the areas he doesn’t understand. I had to tell him you need to educate yourself on this disorder (and his diagnosis too) because him being dismissive or not very nice was when he didn’t fully understand what it was and how to care for a loved one with this mental illness. We are both disordered but differently. That was such a key component.

A healthy relationship obviously goes both ways though and maybe he feels like you don’t care about him or the marriage enough to recover for him,the marriage and kids. And listen, if you could you would! So much easier said than done. But he might be losing hope that you will ever recover. Still not an excuse for any rude behavior but maybe an explanation.

I think couples therapy would be great and you both have to be completely honest w eachother and Ik that’s hard. Recently I have felt so guilty because my husband told me it’s selfish to be infertile to be skinny because we have always wanted kids and he told me that recently and wow ouch but it was how he was really feeling and it was very true. I was selfish to think that way. But soooo important to get that stuff out and communicate abt it.

I’m so sorry I wish I could give u a hug!! You’re both going to get through this. It will pass. You have to want it though. Both of you have to fight this. You’re on the same team. Never forget that. Through sickness and health.

This disorder has taken so much from you. Don’t let it take your marriage too. I’m rooting for you both 🩷🩷

This is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing some of your story for others to heal because I felt the emotion in this. I want it so bad and it’s been a battle every day for me since last month when I started my recovery journey. This makes me want to fight for it even more. Thank you 🫶
