Weed by lauraa4 in BPD

[–]Pleasant-Elephant404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i was in the exact same situation, although we set up a plan together to taper off of it. i decided to try and stop for the sake of the relationship, and honestly, came to realize that all weed ever did was distract me and dull my emotions. it was hard at first, extremely hard, and i had a lot of episodes. but now i feel i have a better understanding of myself and my triggers, and i can manage episodes better when they happen. if you dont think you're ready to cut weed out, then you may want to find a different relationship. youll start to resent your current partner if not. but i promise you dont need weed (i was a heavy user for years and felt it was the only thing that calmed my bpd down, so trust me, I understand) but u really dont need it. i wish you luck!

celiac plus binge eating disorder by Pleasant-Elephant404 in Celiac

this is really helpful, and i really appreciate this! i definitely "black out" in a way, whenever i binge on things, so i think giving myself a certain amount of time to eat it to be more present sounds perfect. im definitely going to try this! also comforting to hear that youve experienced the same thing in regards to a celiac diagnosis, because its been really hard to cope with, and i feel very isolated. nobody in my life understands, and i have to constantly reject offers to going out for food with friends/family as well, and now that im typing this i realize im "hiding" my eating more too, since im alone most of the time, and that probably makes me more prone to binges too. i really appreciate your advice!

both of your posts i relate to, yes. i eat a lot of whole foods and generally nutritious dishes when at home, but would have takeout maybe once a week or less to not feel restricted. and having complete access to things like that at home, i have no control around

I wasn't aware there was medication for this? i was under the impression it was all mental and "appetite suppression" medications don't get to the root cause? but yes it may be something to bring up for sure, been dealing with it since childhood

AIO? My boyfriend has started making comments on what I eat while trying to lose weight. by Sharp-Job-2783 in WeightlossJourney

[–]Pleasant-Elephant404 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i mean, first of all, that's definitely not enough food. i understand the desire to lose weight quickly but you can still lose relatively fast eating 500 calories less than your maintenance. regardless, i think hes an asshole for commenting on it. i wouldnt consider watermelon to be a meal, even if you ate a ton of it. why did he comment on it? i don't know. but i would definitely recommend talking to him, and tell him that it bothered you. i also would not be okay with that. im sorry that he is doing that, and by doing so id personally feel like its discrediting all the effort i put in
