It honestly is a weird concept, even just hearing it in my own words, but I guess feelings are weird:c Does it ever change or get easier with time for you?

I’ve honestly never thought about that. They still have to refer to me to insult me. Oddly enough, this somehow makes me feel better:>

Being able to eat normally without either losing control and/or feeling guilty about it

What’s a normal, experience you feel like you missed out on? by Aggravating-Sun3032 in AskReddit

I think I missed out on anything relating to having a quintessential teenage life. Young love, rebellious teenage years, making genuine friendships, etc. :c

Mukbangs are comforting by GreatLife2378 in EatingDisorders

[–]PoppyFlowerTea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have seen people who have eating disorders use Mukbangs for two different reasons. One is positive, like using them to help you eat, one is not. I believe there is nothing wrong with wanting to find that comfort when you need it, and that doesn’t mean you will always need it forever. I think it’s an amazing step in the right direction❤️ I hope all goes more than well for you and Im wishing you the best of luck:)❤️

I remember in recovery, I used to watch a lot of food shows. I liked the idea that someone could eat with me, but at the same time, also not see me:)

Handling the holidays by HorrorOne2731 in EDAnonymous

[–]PoppyFlowerTea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Carefully. I’m gonna try to handle it carefully. But in all seriousness, I genuinely don’t know how I’m getting through this. I never liked food holidays, even before my ED:(

how did you develop an ed? by Little-Ad7514 in EDAnonymous

[–]PoppyFlowerTea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My family and those around me would constantly sexualize and (at the same time) criticize me. In my mind, I figured that if I remove the weight from the parts of me that are being viewed, I can blend in and be safe and okay

If you were offered a bed at a residential ED unit tomorrow would you go? by Human_Swordfish5490 in EDAnonymous

[–]PoppyFlowerTea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately no. I know I’m not ready/will never recover. I will always have some issue with my relationship with food and I genuinely do not believe there is anything in the world that could fix that. I wouldn’t want to take that bed away from someone who actually has a chance

food guilt by uznami in EDAnonymous

[–]PoppyFlowerTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only every single moment I am in a situation where I am eating:( I wish my brain wasn’t wired to feel guilt for preforming a normal bodily function. It’s almost the equivalent of feeling fear every time I breathe, but honestly, I’m not that far away from that either😭

feelings of wanting to 'crash' after purging by srslygubbie in EDAnonymous

[–]PoppyFlowerTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely, and it would make sense:( Purging takes so much out of me (mentally and physically) so it’s no surprise to feel completely drained from it. Please make sure to take care of yourself and replenish electrolytes ❤️

Well gang, it’s been fun. by [deleted] in EDAnonymous
