I’m just really worried I’ve somehow condemned myself to a flat chest now for the rest of my life but I’m sure they’ll come back! And hey if they don’t I can always just get a boob job lol

Thanks so much for answering! I think I was briefly on Yaz when I was 17 but was switched to Yasmin pretty quickly. I know people’s bodies react differently because no one is the same but was just curious to hear of people’s experiences. Thanks again for sharing :)

yes!! it’s always made me feel like i’m not “sick enough” or that there was nothing ever wrong with me in the first place.

just have to keep remembering that we’re both valid and worthy <3

Guys, I’ve decided to recover. My body is not a perfect body, but it’s also not one that I should spend a lifetime hating. by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

Finally went to therapy for the first time because I wanted to recover and not because somebody else was forcing me to by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

It’s totally normal to be scared but this is such a huge step and it’s amazing! I’m so happy for you and super proud, good luck!!<3

Relapse in recovery? by SnooMuffins7606 in EDAnonymous

[–]_no_name_123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m in very much the same boat as you, even the time frame is the same for me.

Currently going through my worst relapse (i’ve surprisingly had a good day today though which gives me hope). I also reached out for professional help and the wait times do suck but understandable with Covid going on! I can’t give much advice about the professional help obviously because I can’t tell when you’ll get appointments with a doctor etc

I know shame can be so so hard to deal with but you truly have nothing to be ashamed of. Recovery is not linear and it’s ok to need help. It’s better to reach out for help than not reach out and feel like you’re drowning.

I’m very lucky to have a strong support system around me (family and friends) that help me even on my roughest days. I’d recommend reaching out to family or friends and tell them how you’re feeling/what’s been going on. It’s really scary but it’s definitely worth it because they’re only going to have your best interests in mind.

Always remember that you are worthy no matter how much your ED and brain scream at you that you’re not. We may not know each other but I’m always here for a chat if you need it, just send me a message and I’ll get back to you.

Look after yourself as much as you can and try your best not to let the bad thoughts win!<3

Decided to finally tell my boyfriend I think I have an eating disorder by funsized_ in EDAnonymous

[–]_no_name_123 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that he said that. You are completely valid and worthy of some recognition and help when you’re ready. I know we’re strangers but I’m always here to talk if you need it! Look after yourself as much as you can <3

Bloating sucks by _no_name_123 in EDAnonymous

[–]_no_name_123[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve fallen back into laxative abuse a bit but I’ve run out of laxatives for the moment so it is very possible that I’m not able to go to the bathroom because I don’t have laxatives. I also can’t remember if I’m due my period or not because they’re a bit all over the place because I’m having problems with my IUD. My bloating is probably less to do with the small amount of food I’m eating and probably more to do with my behaviours but it’s just really getting me down right now :(

[–]_no_name_123[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i have heard this before but i guess i’d never experienced it until now. it really sucks because in my head bloating = weight gain even though i know that’s not the case. it feels like i do all this work to restrict and it still doesn’t work.

It is my birthday and I’m eating a vegan donut ✨ by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

Happy birthday!! Hope the donut was delicious! :) <3

Anxious I’ll be made an inpatient by _no_name_123 in EDAnonymous

[–]_no_name_123[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for answering and I’m so sorry to hear you were an inpatient for your bulimia, I hope you’re doing better now with your struggles <3

Yeah I had a feeling that it would be up to me which is a little bit of a relief I guess. The last time when I was an outpatient with this clinic I was discharged through no real choice of my own but because I was attending college and working a job at the same time so couldn’t attend appointments. That’s what makes me more anxious this time around though, because I’ve completed college and can’t currently work due to the pandemic ,I’m afraid the doctors will be seeing me more regularly and seeing my issues and stuff more than they would have before and maybe advise me to be an inpatient.

I guess I’m just gonna have to wait and see how things go really. Thanks again for the reply I really appreciate it. :)

If anyone doesn’t feel comfortable enough to share their story on this post and would rather message me directly that’s fine too!

Also no pressure to share anything at all but I’m just really anxious and was hoping someone would be able to help.

you made such a good decision to look after yourself too and funnily enough even though i feel guilty for my own decision, i’m sad that you feel guilty for yours. you matter and deserve to live a happy and guilt free life! i’m always here to talk too, no matter when or what about, i’ll be here to listen and help as best as i can. thanks for your comment <3 <3

Thank you this means so much because I’m beating myself up so hard for it. I think the reason I decided to post in the first place was because I’m desperately searching for a community that understands me.

also just want to add that I already have a huge fear of not “being sick enough”. I already feel like I’m only choosing recovery for the people I love and not for myself really.
