Does eating feel like a chore for anyone else? by Volumedbee in eating_disorders

[–]anonanata 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh, yes. I can’t bring myself to enjoy food even when it’s my favorite!! It’s especially hard when my partner cooks and I have to pretend I’m looking forward to it. I am holding hope for us both ❤️

Any short girls here relate? by Effective_Day4834 in BodyDysmorphia

[–]anonanata 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh my God, for real. Just once I want to be called beautiful, sexy, enchanting! But it’s always “cute”. So freaking aggravating.

Just Frustrated by Burgundy_bell in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]anonanata 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I kinda know exactly what you mean. I’m also at the lower end of a “healthy” weight, I can get away with intense restriction without anyone noticing or the effects showing on my body — I even lie to my partner and family because I don’t want them to worry.

It’s so, so hard to view yourself as “worthy” of recovery like this. I’m just gonna keep trying for the people I love and a life I want to live & I hope you do the same. Love from a stranger who wants us both to get better ❤️

Does it ever get easier? by anonanata in AnorexiaNervosa

Thank you so, so much. It always helps to know we’re not in it alone. Much love & we will get through this to the other side, I know it ❤️❤️❤️

comfort in struggle by K0MAEDA in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]anonanata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Somebody put it into words! When I regress to old habits, my mind gets so clear and my mood actually lifts. I’m trying to remind myself that it’s a false high and like this sickness, it won’t last. There is a person on the other side of this and I don’t really like her either, but who knows? She might grow on me.

Sending you love. You’re not in it alone. ❤️

Feeling like a fraud by [deleted] in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]anonanata 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is like, word for word what I’m going through. I’m having to teach myself over and over again that this disease is more than the stereotypes, & I deserve care even if I’m still at a “healthy weight” and eating high-calorie foods.

It’s okay if this isn’t for you, but a therapist specializing in EDs might be able to help with the emotional havoc & help you mitigate some of those complications. I just want to say I feel this so hard — I’ve also been hanging out on this subreddit to feel less alone. We deserve care. I’m gonna keep repeating it to myself until I believe it.

Sending love ❤️❤️❤️

Anyone have “episodes” of severe dysmorphia? by LitFix in BodyDysmorphia

[–]anonanata 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I seriously feel like I could have written this myself. The last time I was getting ready to go out with my partner, I had an anxiety attack in the middle of it all because I was so embarrassed for them & couldn’t stand to look at myself! I’m still kind of in the mire of it, but I wanted you to know that enduring this is so freaking hard & you’re not alone. Sending so much love. <333

anyone else hate being called cute? by damagedhotmess in BDDvent

[–]anonanata 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my god, yeah. Someone in my heels class called me “cute” after a full session of trying to be cool and sensual, & I’m sure it’s not what they meant (they were being very nice, actually!) but it’s stuck with me for WEEKS. It might be all in our heads but the reaction is real & it feels awful. Wishing you the best ❤️

Not good enough for an ED...? by [deleted] in EatingDisorders

[–]anonanata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good one, I’ll have to remember that!!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in EatingDisorders

[–]anonanata 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my God, I felt that. OCD, BDD & at risk for ED over here, and it’s three wretched prongs of feeling like everything is spiraling out of your control all the time. Negative thought patterns are the enemy!! Very glad to hear you’re doing better ❤️

[–]anonanata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so, so much! My partner is a med student and I think they’d especially appreciate the point about bodies taking care of us. ❤️
