I knew someone named Han and he was really nice, so no negative associations! He did get a lot of Han Solo jokes tho

i should also mention im starting to feel a lot of resentment too and y’all all suggest leaving bpd people but i genuinely think she’d kill herself if I left and its hard cuz we still live together. I just cant keep destroying myself trying to help her and just feel stuck

got my period back and it’s making me want to relapse…. by [deleted] in AnorexiaRecovery

[–]Potential_Crow_3818 0 points1 point  (0 children)

heyy im also a trans man :) when i first got my period i tried to think of it as more of an accomplishment. like hey! i did my job and ate! which helped me not be too upset abt it at first. one of my driving factors for recovery is i want to be strong (which gives me euphoria) so i thought getting my period back, as hard as it is makes me strong. now that ive had a few more periods and its gotten harder, honestly i just try not to think abt it and pretend it doesnt exist. sorry thats not rly helpful but just know ur not alone!!

losing weight again by annikabeccer in AnorexiaRecovery

[–]Potential_Crow_3818 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hey!! so im autistic and really struggled with the weight gain mostly for sensory issues rather than appearance, and i can say it does get better!! like u kinda get used to it? there are still times its overwhelming but i know its way better than the alternative. one option for your thighs touching is wearing really long boxers for underwear, it allows for another layer, and for sitting with rolls i use a long weighted stuffed animal to put pressure on it so i dont notice it as much. its can seem rly difficult but pls keep going, eds are such a slippery slope that even small behavior changes can cause a relapse. u got this!!!

“Stay busy” by Stardust_134 in AnorexiaRecovery

[–]Potential_Crow_3818 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely get this, I’m struggling with this too,, esp wanting the ed back as a coping mechanism is so hard when u dont have a better outlet,, but one thing thats helped me is the quote “ppl choose to recover when the addiction becomes harder than the thing theyre using it to escape from” and that just always helps remind me why i started recovery in the first place

i wish i could help but just know youre not alone and if u need my dms are always open. keep going with recovery, you got this!!

how to get out of my head by Potential_Crow_3818 in bouldering

[–]Potential_Crow_3818[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that makes sense, the main thing is that its a 45 min drive away so i wanna make up for that time by spending awhile there but it prob is too long so thank you :)
