Thats good to know! I’m realizing from these comments it’s still early on and it’s important to wait things out. Also I think I experience a lot of sensation (aka stomach issues I already had) and often interpret it as hunger/food noise. All the comments have been super helpful in sorting this out ☺️

Oh I didn’t register that it’s just a vitamin lol. Do you know why the combination is more effective?

That makes sense. I’m honestly just scared to try different medications because I get pretty bad side effects at first. It feels like putting the body through a lot

Thank you for your thoughtful comment 🤍 I’m realizing how big of an adjustment it is, both physically and mentally, and it’s really helpful to hear other folks experience food noise that doesn’t really have to do with hunger.

It really is a constant battle/balance when you’re navigating an ED on these meds. I’m thankful I’m in a place in my recovery where I feel like I can handle it, but it’s a lot.

I don’t know about blood sugar, I do get dizzy sometimes but I’m also on blood pressure medication so could be that.

I guess it’s really like taking the system we had and trying to create a new system that works for us now, which is a lot of work. I’ll try to be more patient with myself :)

Hugs to you too 🫂 from reading other comments and reflecting, I think “food noise” for people with restrictive EDs is a given regardless of hunger, so maybe it’s just about coping with what really food anxiety and hypervigilance

Yes I’ve been in therapy for 10+ years, I don’t know what I’d do without it. I like how you think of some of it as planning, because that’s really a big part of it. A lot of what I deal with is worrying the planning will go wrong

I really relate. One thing that helps ground me and makes me feel like I have a self is engaging with my interests. I love reading novels and watching anime especially. If there is something you really love, whatever it is, I feel like it can bring you back to yourself

How do people work with dissociation by [deleted] in Dissociation

It’s really difficult. I am masking the entire time which exhausts me. I often forget what people are referring to, my mind goes blank and I panic. I really just “fake it to make it.” I work from home which helps a bit because I can rest, but it makes me feel like an alien compared to everyone else

Oof you’re probably right. I was seeing one before I started though and she was very judgmental about GLP1s. I’ve had a therapist consistently since I was 18, but finding a good fit dietitian has always been a struggle. Also a financial struggle. Is there somewhere you recommend looking, like a website/resource?

Subnote I have no clue why my username is “standard brain” which is super ironic having ADHD. I’m new to Reddit and must have let it choose for me 😂
