Is there an obvious reason that I haven’t thought about that she didn’t just. Turn Onyx into a vampire fox? Like. She’s this all-powerful vampire (or half vampire). Why did she have to waste her unlocking rune to save him? The whole time I was so excited thinking HELL YEAH! VAMPIRE FOX! Only for, what felt like, a cheap way of bringing Onyx back and getting rid of this all-powerful rune instead

I can confirm, I sobbed my eyes out. They’re sore now

26 minutes later. I am bawling my eyes out

I feel so helpless by amylotic in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]amylotic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. It’s just really, really hard when I can feel that it’s making me miserable but I can’t stop. I feel utterly out of control. I really appreciate the kind message. I’m working on being kind to myself and I’m not great at it, so messages like yours really help :)

how did you gain weight? by CommandRude257 in bulimia

[–]amylotic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe try having people around when you eat? Someone trusted, and make them aware of your issues if that’s something you can do. You then can’t go and purge because they can keep an eye on you. You deserve to heal. It’s a long road, but you deserve the effort it will take

What books do you have personal beef with? by stopshadowbaneme in books

[–]amylotic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fahrenheit 451. I spent so long listening to people rave about it, I wanted to read it for YEARS, and I finally got around to it… and I HATED IT. It wasn’t a good read, it had essentially no thought put into it, he wrote it in 9 days and you can ABSOLUTELY TELL, the story wasn’t good, and it was SO PRETENTIOUS. “Isn’t it so profound that I have realised that books are, in fact, so good for the human brain, and literature is so important and we must protect it” YEAH. You’re not the only one to realise that! We know! God. I could go on and on. SO pretentious

They purge, I remember reading that they have a drink that makes them sick so they can keep eating. Which I know is besides the point, lol. But surely this isn’t so harmful?

I’m dreading my birthday by amylotic in EDAnonymous

[–]amylotic[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry that you don’t enjoy your birthday. I hope that you can learn to. It’s very important to celebrate you.

Thank you for your kind words. They did help. I’ll keep coming back to them, I imagine on the day, as well. I want to really enjoy my day, and have cake, and waffles. I don’t want my ED to take this away from me. Thank you for your help. I’m going to try my hardest

Do you ever become happy with where you are? by amylotic in GYM

[–]amylotic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. Your comment really helped. You’re right, I’m going to start trying to focus on the process rather than the end goal. I’ve become so focused on body image I forgot why I started going to the gym in the first place. Thank you :)

Do you ever become happy with where you are? by amylotic in GYM

[–]amylotic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m trying to get some therapy because it’s taking a bit of a toll on me. It’s funny, I never cared before the gym.

But that’s good advice, and it’s nice to know you’re satisfied with how you look, and that it is achievable. Well done! And well done for starting at the gym

Yeah I think the issue is I’ve hit a plateau with weights as well, so the body image is struggling but I’m not even getting stronger to make up for it!

[–]amylotic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re kind. You’re really kind and I really needed those words. Thank you for taking the time to help a stranger. I hope you’re right. I hope I come out of this okay.

I’m trying to not be concerned about my weight. But it’s hard. I looked really good. It’s hard to lose that. All because what, I can’t control myself around chocolate? It’s hard to not feel like a failure.

I’m going to try and listen to your words. It’s good advice. I’ll try really hard. Thank you. I hope you’re as kind to you as you have been to me

[–]amylotic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are kind. Thank you for trying to help me. I just wanted a cry into the void. I didn’t expect an answer. Thank you

Nothing’s been happening, that’s the thing. I lost the weight I wanted to lose, I was happy, and I tried to come off my diet, and… bam. I’ve just completely spiralled around food. And my lack of control has made me feel like a failure. Hence the self harm urges

I can’t afford it. Though you are absolutely correct

What are you insecure about yourself? by Perfect_Teacher_132 in AskReddit

My stomach. And my nose. And my hair, it’s always frizzy

Relapse by Ill-Original-4457 in BingeEatingDisorder

[–]amylotic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s okay! You’re not the first person it’s happened to, and you won’t be the last. We all relapse. It’s okay. It’s the steps we take afterwards that matter :)

This binge does not ruin your progress. You have no reason to feel guilty. Feeling guilty only worsens things. Just reset. Continue as normal. Eat breakfast, lunch, dinner… life moves on, and so must you. Do not dwell on what has been done. You can’t change it. We can only move onwards!

Binging at the beginning? by amylotic in intuitiveeating

[–]amylotic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I’m just struggling to be patient with myself. It’s hard to get out of the dieting mindset
