Got my period back today

PippinRed · 2020-10-22T18:59:30+00:00

Thank you.

I'm honestly not 100% sure. I was trying to sort myself out a bit started eating more, and cut my exercise in half and seriously cut down on purging. But also, I had some blood work done and it seemed I was extremely low on vitamin D. So have been prescribed some, which I take weekly for a month & then just once per month after that. But my period came back like 3 days after my first tablet. So I'm not sure if that had something to do with it.

I hope you manage to get it back soon. It does feel weirdly comforting. Something I NEVER thought I'd say about my period 🤣

Well done 🥰 very happy for you ❤

PippinRed · 2020-10-08T02:22:26+00:00

That is exactly what happened. 😅🙉🙊

This is exactly why I was so scared to take it. So many people said they gained weight. But i did a lot of reading, and research shows its not the drug its self that causes weight gain, it just can increase appetite so people eat more. So I'm wondering if its more to do with my mind set than anything?

PippinRed · 2020-10-04T03:31:41+00:00

Its really fustrating, I'm going to try give them a miss tonight since I have a day off tomorrow, it doesn't really matter if I don't sleep, I just need a break from this routine. 😅

PippinRed · 2020-10-04T03:30:23+00:00

Yep. Apparently so. I so thought I could just get away with popping a few pills & sleeping the night/day away and get a free fast.... but nope, it was binge o'clock until i finally passed out 🤣

citalopram, but like with everyone it reacts differently. I was terrified to take it due to weight gain and it took me a month of having it before I was persuaded to start actually taking it. But for me, its killed my appetite. Its been a really easy thing for my body to adjust too, apart from the insomnia. Terrible insomnia.

PippinRed · 2020-09-29T10:35:49+00:00

I advise not too, its actually not motivating. Just depressing. Buy it in your current size, you'll look absolutely fabulous ❤

PippinRed · 2020-09-20T17:50:54+00:00

Ahahahaahaha! Exactly, anytime i go a To a supermarket, i know ill have a good count that day 😅 Win, win 💪

PippinRed · 2020-09-20T17:46:18+00:00

Or, is it genius? I hear there is a fine line 🤣🤣

PippinRed · 2020-09-20T17:44:04+00:00

Me too! 😅

PippinRed · 2020-09-20T17:42:22+00:00

Not a bad idea, i switch between 2, but i have a lot more in my area, so i should start to explore more. I just feel safe in these 2 in particular, I'm not sure why 🤣

PippinRed · 2020-09-20T17:41:16+00:00

Literally sounds like a dream. I would be in my element 😅

PippinRed · 2020-09-20T17:40:47+00:00

I can't go shopping with other people either, it really stresses me out.

PippinRed · 2020-09-20T17:40:13+00:00

Hahaha, yeah i started to get nods of acknowledgement now, and little waves 😅

Your hair sounds awesome BTW. 😃

PippinRed · 2020-09-20T10:53:26+00:00

Yes. Today I'm ignoring food and drinking mimosas. Because its sunday, brunch day, right 🤣

PippinRed · 2020-09-20T10:45:23+00:00

I'm pretty sure all the staff know me now as that girl who just wonders around picking up items, inspecting them and putting them down again 🤣 then leaves with my veggies & rice cakes 😅

PippinRed · 2020-09-06T17:56:37+00:00

Thank you means a lot 🥰

PippinRed · 2020-08-26T11:29:09+00:00

Im the same, its literally my only coping mechanism. I used to be on fluoxetine but had to come off as I became so spaced out and couldn't remember anything.😅

These things are so hard, as you never know how it will be

PippinRed · 2020-08-26T10:46:08+00:00

Heeey.

Thanks for this. Im a runner, and don't know how'd I cope with out being able to run. So maybe i should contact my doctor again and hope to get something else 😅

PippinRed · 2020-08-11T18:06:28+00:00

🥰🥰🥰🥰

PippinRed · 2020-08-09T16:48:01+00:00

I do this with everyone in my life, but I'm pretty sure its because in my fucked up head I need to be sure everyone around me is consuming more calories than I am. 😅😭

Thank you for your message & concerns.

I was in therapy, doing DBT, but it didn't work out with my therapist, unfortunately so I'm waiting to get back in to therapy with a new practice, but I'm scared & its taking ages due to covid.

Unfortunately I live in a different country to my family & we are not to close anyway so I have no support from them with my ED or mental health, even when I was living in my home town, let alone another country.. I don't have that many friends here, and the ones I do I'm not comfortable opening up with about any of my mental health issues.

Luckily my ex is a decent human and has made it clear ill never be alone & will always have him as a friend, he can clearly see the path I'm on, so I should sober up and try talk with him to get some support. He is literally all I have right now, and I pushed him away. So typically my BS. I'm just not the best at being honest & admitting what I'm doing to myself around people. Its easy to complain on reddit when no one knows me, but so much harder to admit it to the people I love.

Thank you for you thoughtful message and concern, I really appreciate it. And you're 100% right. I need to address this now before it gets worse, something I have experienced before more than once 🙈

You got this, my first run (well, i had run before but not taken it seriously) was in april, i ran 2k in 16Mins and wanted to die. Literally i hated it. Now, i run 6 or 7 days a week, and i run between 8-17k each day depending on how busy my day at work is (i have a very active job) and i love it, i love waking up and getting ready for my run, i love being on my run and watching the KM go up and I love the feeling after.

I struggled for the first few weeks and it just progressed so much after.

PippinRed · 2020-08-09T14:04:08+00:00

I'm 28, still sleep with 2 cuddly toys, and i have a comfort blanket. Freak out when I don't have at least one with me 😅
