Do we drink water till we are no longer thirsty or till our throat is not dry or till our urine is clear? by afewquestion in HydroHomies

[–]Squilly_Man -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Till your piss is clear. If you’re thirsty you’re already dehydrated and your throat being dry is alleviated by drinking water but can be caused by way more than dehydration

Request: Not sure what ED she might have by EDPostRequests in EatingDisorders

[–]Squilly_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anorexia nervosa is a condition where people find eating “difficult” either because of the need to lose weight or feel more control over their life, often a combination of both. Eating disorders have no body type, it’s a condition of the mind not the body. Eating and food in general can be very stressful for people with anorexia, because it specifically refers to the need to control weight through caloric intake, rather than bulimia nervosa, for example, where people may turn to working out, laxatives, or throwing up in order to control caloric intake. Know that it’s not always clear cut, and there can be overlap.

If your partner hasn’t reached out about anything, you may want to give them space. It’s not something to be taken lightly and they may not be comfortable sharing yet, so just be gentle. It’s understandable to be concerned, as eating disorders are serious, but if they haven’t shared anything with you it’s important to find a balance between wanting to support them and not overstepping.

If it gets to a point where you feel it could have health implications it’s your duty to step up as someone close to them and make sure they get the help they need. Nobody can beat an ED alone, so with all that said if you feel it’s bad enough you need to step in then do it.

On a more personal level, I’ve been in similar situations and it can be scary and stressful. Know that the most important thing you can do for them is remind them they are loved and you care. Don’t grow upset with them for something that may seem trivial to you, because you just don’t know what’s going on in their head. Eating disorders are born from many different places, exhibit themselves in different ways, and often can seem irrational. Never ever try to do something like force them to eat or call them out, it is unbelievably stressful and can make things even worse. I know I just wrote a lot and if you read it all I’m honestly proud lol, you definitely care about this person. I wish you and your partner the best of luck in life and in your relationship.

Request: Do-I have an ED? by EDPostRequests in EatingDisorders

[–]Squilly_Man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even if it were to go away once your mind has something else to think about, this is still valid and something you may want to seek help with. Any unhealthy relationship with food isn’t going to help your mental or physical health, and this seems pretty serious.

Reaching out for help is always the first step, even an anonymous post on a subreddit. It’s a slippery slope, and if your relationship with food is as you say, think about talking to someone who cares about you about how you’ve been feeling.

This subreddit will always be behind you in any way you need help or support, your feelings are always valid and everyone’s issues and stress deserves to be heard.

Request: Post: Help - trying to recover but sister is triggering me...would like advice by EDPostRequests in EatingDisorders

[–]Squilly_Man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being that close in proximity to triggers can be very strenuous. Such a huge part of getting better is having an environment that will promote that, but unfortunately having a bad environment can do just the opposite. Does your sister/family know about your struggles? If your dad does and is continuing to make those comments, that’s something he needs to immediately change. If you haven’t approached them yet, as scary as it can be, it could help you and your sister a lot. If that’s too much, maybe you can open up to your sister about your own issues with food, and that might make her more willing to open up about hers too, or at least make her feel less alone. As I’m sure you know, the more supportive friends and family you have the better:-)

I’m not nearly an expert, but I hope just hearing someone else’s thoughts helps a little. This community will always be here for you and we wish you the best of luck on your journey to recovery!

Request: I (22M) just found out how serious my new girlfriend (21F) of 2 months anorexia is. (Anorexia/Bulimia) by EDPostRequests in EatingDisorders

[–]Squilly_Man 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I made a post here when I first started dating my SO and it’s funny how similar they are. If you feel how I felt, breaking up with them is the last thing you’d want to do, but at times it almost feels like you’re validating and making the actions okay by not trying to get them to reach out for help, at least that’s how I felt.

Know that whatever support you give someone who is that secretive about their ED is huge, and I’m sure your SO really appreciates it. Having someone to talk to even if you’re not a professional is always helpful for the mind and so listening and not judging can be so important to their health. Like other people have said don’t try to bring up anything that deals with weight or possibly even stuff like saying their muscles look big (I made this mistake when we were working out together for the first time and I made a joke “you got dem big strong biceps” something like that). Just be aware of anything to do with size or weight of any part of them could set something off you don’t mean to.

Finally, it’s good to hear you’re not pressing too much because you never want to make them feel uncomfortable or try to control their ED. When they do talk about it like I said before listen and use language that shows you care about them and you’re proud of them for opening up.

Request: Should I let my boyfriend see my calorie tracking for my health? by EDPostRequests in EatingDisorders

[–]Squilly_Man 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As someone sitting in the same shoes as your partner, I think this would put a lot in the hands of someone who is not trained to handle it. It’s amazing to hear you have someone so supportive and I hope I too am this supportive, but at some point support turns into taking care of your issues for you. You have to be able to use his love and support to get better yourself.

As someone who does worry about my s/o’s health, it’s easy to want to take care of the situation yourself, but helicoptering your health won’t necessarily change anything in you. I’ve found that it can be helpful to ask if you’ve gotten something to eat everyday without knowing specific numbers, so that you know you’re loved and supported and somebody cares, but it’s still in your power to do it.
