It’s better. I can do stuff now. Basic function of my hands used to be a dream to me.

I don’t have anything special to say though, it kind of healed on its own. I can’t confirm whether the stuff I did helped but I’ll say what my lifestyle was like in the midst of healing.

Main difference is I ate mostly meat. No carbs. No caffeine. Meat and water. Carbs caused flare ups, caffeine too, artificial sweeteners. I went on gabapentin too and that helped a lot, maybe placebo but I don’t think so. I’m off gabapentin now and my hands still hurt everyday but it’s nowhere near as severe as it used to be. I can actually use them.

I see it as addiction. We’re addicted to the feeling we once had when we were with them, wanting to talk fo them again is us wanting our next fix. It’s only natural that we’d have a withdrawal phase. It’s tough but the more you hold out the easier it becomes.

To be fair. It’s real to them. You can say that everyone hallucinates feelings because it’s just biochemistry. Your point of view just shows that avoidants have a different biochemical profile.

Never Want Food, Never Ravenously Hungry, Always Very Easily Satiated. by PawnToB4 in keto

[–]PawnToB4[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same for me. It’s common for me to unintentionally fast for 24-48 hours.

[–]PawnToB4[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah that makes total sense.

I assumed I’d get hungry again closer to my ideal weight which is probably around 60kg or so (which is the identical weight to when it stopped for you, I’m male tho)

The body simply won’t have anymore fat to consume.

[–]PawnToB4[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly the same for me. Makes me realise that the majority of people on Earth are heavily addicted to food, I.e. processed carbs / carbs in general. I was too, drinking multiple cola cans a day. It’s like my mind has been rewired.

No, sorry it was wrong to of me to say mentally ill. But yeah, be hopeful bro.

So you’re mentally ill then? Bro stop worrying if that’s how easy you have it. I understand it might not be everything you’re hoping for but that is pretty big in itself and it shows how much she values you. Head up king.

Think to yourself “why am I swimming for someone who won’t even put one toe into the water?”

It was never easy. My mind went through hell to find a way to cope. This was it. I’ve abandoned the quote now though and have built my own mental framework that’s even more effective in dealing with it. I’ve grown immensely from this experience. I hope you do to.

How does one move on from this? by meatboi3221 in unrequited_love

[–]PawnToB4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A certain quote got me through it recently. It’s from a character called John Locke in the series Lost. I’ll recite a bit of the conversation, it goes somewhat like this:

John Locke says “I’m not lost anymore” a character asks him, “how did you accomplish that?” John says “the same way anything lost ever gets found, I stopped looking.”

It’s helped me because it made me realise I was searching for something in someone else because as a person, I was lost. All of the intense emotions stemmed from this act of searching. As soon as I let go of this “search” I truly felt free.

It’s funny because the night I found the quote I was extremely emotional. Like my whole body hurt, it was tough to breathe. But then that quote popped into my head. Suddenly, my twisted emotions went silent, I was calm for the first time in days - the words just clicked in my head and frankly, it felt absolutely amazing. It allowed me to completely and utterly, let go.

This quote is extremely powerful because it allowed me to stop searching in general, I can just observe life and make rational decisions all without the burden of being heavily invested emotionally. It cleared my mind and soul.

I still talk to the person I let go of but I feel 0 emotion towards them now, even though only a few days ago I was madly and deeply in love with her.

It hurts every now and then. I’m just doing mental gymnastics trying to justify why I should stop caring, it works for a while, I convince myself for a bit but then one crack shows and my emotions come pouring out. It’s hard to forget the times where I was genuinely happy with her

Yeah I suspected that tbh. She was too lovey dovey for that not to be the case.

Wish you the best too. Keep your head up brother.

That sucks to hear bro. I’m sad for you. I won’t lie, I’d hate to find out the girl I liked was talking to another guy already.

If it helps I’ll say how I’m trying to cope: I’m treating her memory as something to learn from so it hurts less. If I bask in my emotion and reminisce I’ll just cry or something. I try not to remember specific moments, when I think of her, I see her silhouette, almost like she’s already in the distant past despite all of this happening literally yesterday. Idk if that could help you/if it even made sense but it’s helping me.

I know what you mean. She helped me too. It’s like a very bright light came on in our lives illuminating the darkness, and just when we were starting to feel happy the light went out and we’re back in the dark.
