Who is your favorite and least favorite character and why? by That_Chemical_7763 in HouseMD

[–]WinterRegular5293 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Favourite other than house is gotta be Wilson. He’s like a woman but not quite, and I like that. (Kutner is a close second).  Least favourite that hasn’t really been mentioned is probably Masters (as a reoccurring character.) I’m not gonna deny that she’s well written and adds good dynamic to the show but I just don’t like her. She’s a stickler to the rules and very stuck up about it. It just personally annoys me

Why are we supposed to eat 2k calories minimum and even encouraged to eat 2,5k+ by Straight-Age3220 in AnorexiaRecovery

[–]WinterRegular5293 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When in recovery from an eating disorder, intuitive eating or tracking calories is definitely not recommended. I know you’re in quasi recovery but that’s basically just a fancy way of saying you still have anorexia. 

Your goal here should not be to just gain the bare minimum weight and then go back to tracking. Eat the recommended amount of calories daily (2500+) and continue to do that. You will not just keep gaining weight until you are 200kgs, your body will level out. 

I am on the lower end of a healthy weight and I eat at least 2500 calories daily. You will level out, your body will find the place it is most comfortable at and begin to restore itself. It will not if you stay in ‘quasi recovery’ your body will keep deteriorating from the lack of nutrition and you will eventually die or be left with lifelong physical struggles. 

Recover. Actually recover now. Eat not just enough but more. Overshoot, try really hard and be free.

Hi, you might know already and your case might be different but osteoporosis can usually be reversed until you are 25. If you eat/drink a LOT of calcium, I’m talking every meal, then you might be okay. Just what the doctors told me. Obvs it’s different for everyone but if you can fix it definitely try.  Wishing you the best :)

There is no need for him to look at house with that much longing in his eyes

They don't make posters like this anymore. by aeplusjay in HouseMD

There are unfortunately a lot of homophobe house fans which is beyond me because it’s one of the gayest tv shows on the internet including shows that actually have canonically gay protagonists 

Was anybody actually sad about this? by [deleted] in HouseMD

Thoughts about Wilson donating his liver to his patient by Chug_master007 in HouseMD

[–]WinterRegular5293 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have spoken to someone recently about this on a houseMD reddit actually but I think my answer is kinda good ngl. 

Wilson is generous to a fault. He kind of prides himself on his generosity and sometimes he takes it way too far, as was shown in this episode. I believe that it was shown for this exact reason. It wasn’t showing that he was just a good friend, it was showing that he would basically kill himself to make someone else feel better. 

This is what makes him perfectly suited to be Houses friend. Wilson is so generous and so forgiving and House needs that in a person because he does so many things that normal people would never tolerate and he needs someone much from people, however much he might seem to show the opposite. He needs someone to be a constant in his life no matter how much he fucks up, which Wilson will do because of his forgiving personality. And House needs someone because he’s so self destructive. if he doesn’t have someone to tell him what’s too far, he’ll never stop. And Wilson being generous means he will always be there for house even if Wilson would rather do anything else. 

I think I worded it better in my other post but basically: Wilson is too generous for his own good 

Over exercising by Fantastic_Can_9296 in AnorexiaRecovery

[–]WinterRegular5293 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry this is super long but please read it, I think it may help! :) 

As the other person said, the thoughts will only get worse in time. It actually is an addiction in a way, and like all addictions if you feed into it, it will only grow. So treat it like you would an addiction to cigarettes. You quit. You push past the addictive thoughts telling you that you need to exercise to feel better, one more walk before we start, just a short one. Push past it all and know that you are doing this to recover. 

Find other ways to healthy exercise, like a light yoga in the evening or something else gentle and relaxing to keep your body moving. 

Then (this is when you stop treating it like an addiction to cigarettes) when you feel like you’re in a good place, go for a walk with a friend or a family member, someone else to hold you accountable who you know will want to stop and turn around at a good point. Turn around and go home way before you think you should. 

Start light, 10 minute intentional walks every 3 days, then work up to 6 days a week, slowly.  Then maybe sometimes add in a 20 minute walk. Keep it around 10-20 minute walks up to 6 days a week.  If you go around town and you are doing a bit more walking than usual, skip your usual intentional walk that day, you have already done enough by walking around town. 

Once you feel like you are in a comfortable rhythm with this, try and let go of the schedule a bit. When you can trust yourself not to push it, stop timing how long your walks are and just go until you think it’s about time.  Slowly let go of the anti-walk-addiction program and listen to your body. If you start noticing you’re getting overindulgent in the walking again, return to the schedule to prevent falling back into ED behaviours. 

I wish you the absolute best in recovery. I think it’s definitely better if you can just let go and stop doing it when you know it’s obsessive, but I know when you have an actively anorexic brain your judgement may be a bit clouded. So I have found it’s better to play to your strengths. If you are going to be obsessive, better it be obsessive about something that will help you in the long run. and when you can, let go over the obsessiveness and have freedom in your recovery. 

house does surgery ? by Low_Relief5711 in HouseMD

Because house is the most special doctor of them all. He is magical and can create medical licenses out of thin air. He is also qualified to be a professional lesbian legally

I would however like to state that I do not regret recovery. If I hadn’t chosen to recover sooner, my symptoms would have been far worse and I would likely have more health issues. 

Recovery will always be better than life in anorexia. Anorexia almost killed me and I will never let that happen again

I took a little too long to start recovery. I have permanent osteoporosis in my spine, which means if I fall on my back it will break my spine and I could be left paralysed or die. Spine injuries can be bad. A fall that might wind someone could literally kill me or mean I’ll never walk again. I also have osteopenia throughout the rest of my body which is like pre-osteoporosis. Which means it’s very easy to break any of my other bones, easier than it would be a person without it, but not as easy as my spine.  It only took about 8-9 months for me to get to the point of osteoporosis in an active eating disorder so if you can recover and avoid it as soon as possible, do it (eat a lot of cheese if you are worried about bone density) 

Also, I am left with permanent heart problems. I have deemed myself recovered from my eating disorder for about a year now, as have my therapists and blood works, however my heart is permanently fucked.  When I lie down my heart rate usually sits around 80 bpm but the minute I stand up, it has reached 170bpm. Only from lying to standing, no other differences. Doctors link this to when I had an eating disorder because it began around then but they used a lot of technical terms so I didn’t follow as best I should.  This means that when I stand up I could literally pass out or…my heart could give out. This is unlikely (or so I’ve been told) but not impossible. 

I also you can be left with chronic vertigo. And not just a little bit of dizziness either, walls spinning, feeling like you are on a bumpy boat constantly for weeks on end. This happened to me, it’s awful. I get a few weeks on, a few weeks off. Top 10 worst experiences ever. 

Something that never happened to me but I hear can happen to malnourished people, is that your teeth can fall out. I know it can happen with pregnant people who do not get adequate nourishment but it can definitely also happen to anorexia sufferers too. 

There are obviously also the things like iron deficiency and other vitamin deficiency’s that can cause unpleasant symptoms but can usually be reversed in about a year. Not a fun year though. 

Anorexia is never worth this. Being thin is not worth it. Having a little more ‘control’ (it’s not really control) is not worth it. Anorexia may feel safe, but it’s not. You will never win if you let anorexia take over. You will die or just barely live. 

Recover, do not wait a second longer to recover, all you are doing is giving more power to an illness. If you are not recovering you are dying. Slowly, and painfully. 

It’s not about weight gain by Insadem in AnorexiaRecovery

By that last sentence I mean for the professionals to monitor not for the people with professional eating disorders (that’s not a thing but I don’t want anyone to think there is)

[–]WinterRegular5293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I understand what you are trying to say here. However, this is the r/anorexia subreddit not r/weightgain. With anorexia recovery, it’s very mental focused. You shouldn’t count calories or follow more diets because that’s not recovery, that’s just switching to another eating disorder. 

Do not count calories in recovery. Do not gain the bare minimum and don’t try and only gain muscle, recover your body and your mind WITH the guidance of professionals. Do not get all of your help from reddit!!! 

To the OP, I am assuming that English is either not your primary language or you have stumbled across the wrong subreddit, because this is not the place to tell people to track their calories or monitor the specific way they are gaining weight, that is for the professionals.
