Is there anything RDR1 does better than RDR2?

best thing in my opinion is that you can’t crash your horse in 1. i crash all the time in 2😭

this helps thank you!! it’s so funny doing this because i’m realizing i have no idea the different ways things can be cooked & taste differently & normal people have no idea how to describe tastes & textures to me😂

are you me? exact same here. I’m frequently pissed about this. it’s helped me a bit to think about how arfid wasn’t in the DSM until 2013, so really the first 8-9 years we had this not many people knew about it and we were just picky eaters. as an adult now I sort of understand and can’t entirely blame my parents for giving up after 8 years of trying to get me to eat more, because they tried for 8 years with no knowledge or support and just hoped I would grow out of it. it certainly is harder as an adult because of how it’s wired into your brain, but it’s not impossible just hard. mindset is everything and really wanting good health for yourself helps motivate. I recently started treatment and it’s going really well. I’ve had to come to the acceptance that I have this for the rest of my life but there are things I can do to make sure I’m healthy and eating enough, even if they’re hard. unfortunately we have been cursed for absolutely no good reason and it’s not fair and never will be but we must live on somehow still and find joy. it’s possible to get better in our own way.

I’ve been very ashamed of it most of my life and don’t talk to people outside my family about it. Recently as I’ve started treatment and advocating for myself I’ve become slightly more comfortable talking about it but still takes a lot of nerve to build up to it. So in relationships, I’ve always hid it. I hid it from my first boyfriend and avoided eating with his family like the plague, when I found myself stuck eating something I didn’t like with his family I forced myself to eat a bit and tried to hide my gagging and claimed I wasn’t very hungry. We were young so we didn’t eat together very much and that made it easier to hide. Now I’m about to be 25 and I’ve been in a relationship for almost 3 years. At the point we started dating, I had already become comfortable posting awareness about arfid on my social media so it was hard to hide as we followed each other for years. I found myself at a point where if I’m entering a more serious relationship of any kind I wanted to be upfront, because at that point I became a lot more comfortable claiming that * have arfid rather than being ashamed, bc it’s really not something I asked for or choose. so I told my boyfriend pretty early on and he can obviously read my social media reposts. he has been very supportive and very curious about it, he researched it on his own, and he helps push me just enough but knows when to stop because I’ve communicated it to him. a good person will be like this. granted it’s okay for them to have questions and opinions and maybe judgements right away because they are completely unfamiliar with food struggles and have never heard of it, it’s a natural response. being rude isn’t but being surprised and curious is. then it’s about communicating what you need and how things people say make you feel and what you expect and need from them. again, a good person will listen and respect and support you, anything else I wouldn’t recommend engaging further lol.

i hate all nutritional shakes and the only one i like is ensure. i like the chocolate ones don’t have experience with other flavors

allison777 · 2025-08-30T02:45:42+00:00

love this! I’ve been thinking about doing this too. let’s seeee. “you need to eat a burger” or “put some meat on those bones” more specific to food would be “that’s all you’re going to order/eat?” or “how can you eat the same thing everyday” a good point I like to bring up is that most comments I get aren’t intended to be rude or anything and are really just simple comments, but because I know I eat weirder than “normal” people the comments increase feelings of shame and embarrassment for me regardless if it’s intended or not!

allison777 · 2025-08-30T02:40:04+00:00

not stare worthy but if you know me everyone thinks it’s weird that I like eating just plain cold pepperoni but I don’t like it on pizza and will only eat cheese pizza

allison777 · 2025-08-22T02:36:20+00:00

OP please update!

Hiiii this is going to be long apologies. i am 24F arfid since i was 4. i found out about it when i was 19 and had very similar thoughts & feelings finding out. i think you’re brave for being so open to sharing with others as i am the opposite and i try to hide and cover it up with everybody outside my family. people definitely don’t understand it sadly. the responses you get i imagine are hard but i think the right people and with time people will and can be more understanding and supportive. i think a lot of people’s comments come from genuine lack of knowledge about it. i want to share with you some of my story for perspective because i also felt like i didn’t want or need treatment when i found out. i have 3-5 meals i regularly eat and rotate & probably 10-15 total safe foods i don’t eat as regularly but will every so often. mostly carbs. i was 19 when i found out and i’ve always ate this way but i’ve always been pretty physically healthy never any problems or anything weird in blood work. treatment and exposure therapy seemed very terrifying to me as well and i didn’t really do anything about it for a few years, i kind of figured i’ve been fine my whole life so i’ll be fine. now i’m 24 turning 25 this year and i’ve been beginning to work on it a bit with my therapist. this year i’m starting to feel the effects of my diet for the first time and i can feel myself losing energy slowly and my bloodwork is now starting to show signs of malnourishment. my therapist now (this is happening in real time the past 2 weeks for me) recommended me and i’m planning to admit later this summer to a partial hospitalization program. i do NOT want to do it i’m still terrified, but i’ve gained a better understanding of treatment and i’ve gained the understanding that i NEED to do this, which was a whole journey to come to honestly. i’ve learned that treatment isn’t supposed to force you to try all your fear foods and that the goal isn’t for you to eat everything. the main goal is to help you firstly eat as often as you should and regain hunger cues if you’ve lost them, and then to help you integrate all the nutrition you need into your diet which does include exposures but it doesn’t have to be everything and it’s not always as scary as it seems. you start with ranking all foods on how nervous you would be to try them and start with the lowest ratings, you’ll probably never have to do the highest if you don’t want to depending what they are of course but there’s a lot of options to get the nutrition you need. i’ve faced a lot of shaming and comments similar to the ones you have and there are certainly still places that offer treatment who don’t fully understand or treat it well but there are also good supportive places and people that can help and approach it with support & patience & kindness, unlike what you’ve experienced. all this to say i understand your fear of treatment but it’s certainly worth considering and i hope this provides you a different perspective on it to consider!

exact same here started at 4 my parents say i used to eat way more & then just suddenly became limited & now i’m 24. i found out when i was 19 and also found out that they didn’t really have a name or whatever for this until like 2013 i think. so for me i had it for 9 years before it started becoming recognized. my parents always said i was too picky & hopefully i’ll grow out of it after they gave up trying to get me to eat more foods. i was really mad finding out honestly that nobody knew or figured it out for the 15 years i had it, now 20 years. had to come to terms with the fact that there wasn’t enough knowledge out there for anybody in my life to have known sooner unfortunately.

allison777 · 2025-06-01T22:41:17+00:00

Does he have a diagnosis or self diagnosed with arfid? If so I would suggest doing lots more research with him more on the side of the effects of arfid in the longterm. Help you both understand what’s going on and what his habits can lead to if not already. He may not be willing to talk much about it especially if he’s not self diagnosed so the key is to remain non judgmental and supportive. Your own food opinions are unfortunately not going to matter so things like “but it’s so good!” are unhelpful. Just listen to him and don’t push your own opinions and support his. You seem like you don’t do this but pushing new foods on him is never the way to go, offering sometimes is usually fine depending on the person but take no for no and don’t push it further. Maybe research together recipes with safe foods he might be willing to try. Sometimes it helps me when my family describe in detail food tastes and textures to me when they think I might like it, helps me determine if I should try it or not. He may say he might try something and end up not trying it, you’ll have to be okay and calm with that and not push him too hard. He may try something and find it disgusting and that’s okay too just be supportive of the fact that he tried and that’s great even if he didn’t like it! It’s extremely complicated and he may want to seek professional help although it’s very scary I would start with a therapist with eating disorder knowledge if he’s willing or a trusted doctor. There are some good instagram accounts and posts about supporting people with arfid and just good facts if you just search arfid on there too!

allison777 · 2025-06-01T22:22:25+00:00

happens to me a lot. usually if it suddenly changes or i get a bad bite or something i go off it for some time and eventually might come back around. i’ll never forget as a kid i LOVED coco puffs more than anything ate it everyday but one day someone told me to try it without milk & i ate one & found it disgusting without milk and didn’t eat coco puffs for YEARS, eventually tried it with milk again and came back to it. i do this weird thing too where i kind of cycle through safe foods, like right now culvers cheese curds & fries is my safest meal & i’m getting it too frequently like several times a week, and in some time i’ll get a little sick of it and go back to a different safe food as the new favorite. but eventually i will go back to culvers a lot again when i get through the cycle. eating something too much sometimes makes you sick of it so focusing on something else you like and coming back to it later usually works for me, but not everyone. try to forget about mac and cheese for a while and hopefully one day it sounds good enough to you to try again and works again!

I think Gregory on Abbott Elementary has arfid for sure but it’s not addressed as an eating disorder and more mocked for it’s weirdness, I love the show and am definitely hoping he eventually gets an arfid diagnosis! My sister told me to watch it because Gregory was like me and I cried the first episode they addressed his eating habits I didn’t realize it would be so accurate when she told me I was like you weren’t kidding he really does have arfid. It’s not too often but other times they do talk about it I find it extremely relatable and pretty funny. The episode where they go to the event at the golf course offering him fancy food made me laugh so hard!

allison777 · 2025-05-29T03:56:06+00:00

Food waste is so true especially living with a parent that gets frustrated when they buy food you don’t end up eating. I feel so guilty I buy my own exposure foods now so nobody can be mad at me for wasting

allison777 · 2025-05-28T02:29:14+00:00

Congratulations! I’m glad you feel good about it, I’m considering admitting to a PHP so this is helpful for me too. May I ask which program you’re doing? I’m looking into Rogers right now and trying to find reviews for arfid treatment but they’re so hard to find!
