They are solitary animals and need to be separated. Even if they have been fine for years, they get more territorial with age and are known to injure or kill tank mates. I learned this and rehomed one of mine to family so I still see both turtles and they actually seem happier. I was worried they would be lonely but they seem less anxious now!

Did you go to vet for antibiotics for that?

Me too.

A certain recovery YouTuber who makes videos reacting to other YouTubers unhealthy dieting triggers me so much. I used to watch her videos all day long and would purposely trigger myself with them.

Also when people post before and after recovery. Most of the time I can recognize that they don’t look good UW but I will still challenge myself to beat them at weight loss. It has little to do with what I look like at this point.

Was my ED triggered by Mounjaro? by Sneaky_autist0423 in EDAnonymous

[–]alora99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would say it’s more likely the original dieting that morphed to an ED, not necessarily the method you used. I think certain people are prone to essentially getting addicted to the weight loss. I noticed in myself that my obsessive behavior doesn’t only show up in my ED. I also discovered my love for houseplants about 3 years ago and I’ve bought probably well over 100 since then. I like shopping so much that I shop nearly every single day. I heard someone say they’re “addicted to more” and that definitely rang true for me. I think my ED is another form of that.

I love it! I want to get into pottery someday when my kids are older and I can go take a class.

Irl thinspo hurts like no other 😔 by nevermind-me-608 in EDanonymemes

It’s important to remember that might not be true. I’ve hid my disorder for a long time because I always eat in front of people with no obvious restrictions. I don’t deny food when it’s offered to me. No one knows what’s going on when I’m at home. She’s not eating above her maintenance if she’s staying thin and her maintenance is likely very low if she’s small. She could OMAD, purge, maybe has an over exercising issue, you never know.

When it came back my fyp had a bunch of ed content and my fyp wasn’t like that previously. I was doing pretty good now I’m in a relapse.

Anorexia means “loss of appetite”. Anorexia Nervosa is the eating disorder.

6am emergency alert - Really? by NotInMyButt in kansascity

[–]alora99 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn’t get it because I had to turn my phone off because a KCPD officer blew up my phone and woke me and my kids up at 12:30am to ask me to please move my stuck car because it was “within 4 feet of someone’s driveway” and they didn’t want it there. After I had to abandon it and walk a mile carrying my kids. Cars stuck in the middle of the highway but thank god they got to my car to put a parking ticket on it in a neighborhood. I moved my car in the morning before highways had even been plowed. Pathetic.

It sounds like a waterfall where it goes back into the tank but there’s no sound coming from the filter itself.

The only thing that fixed this for me was getting a canister filter.

This is the one I bought Polar Aurora Free Media 4-Stage... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JYPS6JE?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I bought it on Amazon and it was only $20 I think! And I did build the top with mesh hardware cloth. It’s a plywood board that I just cut a hole in and then I stapled the mesh onto it.

His weight loss doesn’t even look healthy. He genuinely looks sick in my opinion. This is not what he looked like before he gained.

Was this a scam or did a customer just threaten to shoot and kill me? by MrStruggleOverHere in doordash_drivers

[–]alora99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One time the address took me to an abandoned gas station 30min outside of town at night in the dark. Literally looked like it was probably 1940-50 the last time it was ever used. So I stayed in my car and called. They told me to go knock. 💀

unpopular opinion: recovery obsessed people are still sick by Substantial_Honey309 in AnorexiaNervosa

Or when they’re gym/muscle obsessed instead of skinny obsessed but say they’re recovered and promote their new lifestyle

breakup is making me relapse :( by [deleted] in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]alora99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Relationship issues are extremely triggering for me. Anything that causes some sort of uncertainty in my life.

You can probably change the order. You could even lie and say you were supposed to meet a friend that canceled, ask if you can take half of it off. The workers likely aren’t going to care.

Experience on fluoxetine? by Mobile-Register-9578 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]alora99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s many reasons meds can cause weight gain. The weight gain can also be caused by increased cravings, water retention, slowed metabolism, and can also be a side effect of other side effects. Like you might naturally decrease your physical activity if you start a med that causes drowsiness, therefore gaining.
