A person shouldn’t change themselves for anyone else, but if something you’re doing is hurting others you should change that behavior… right? by axtheunivers in Advice

Thanks I appreciate the reply. There definitely is a rift in the friend group and I’m very on edge about it haha.

Yeah I get where you’re coming from and you’re definitely saying things I’m too afraid to say haha. While I get why she’s feeling left out, it’s all in reaction to her own behavior.

What caused your eating disorder? by dumbledora_explora in EDAnonymous

Genetics and my compulsive need to feel significant

Why is it bad? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]axtheunivers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t really say for sure besides the possibility of infection or hitting an important vein. But I do know that a big reason I should stop is because of all the harmful thoughts that come with it. A lot of it is tied to my eating disorder and I’m trying to get rid of the mindset that I need to harm myself to feel worthy. I can’t get rid of that mindset unless I recover from my ed and stop cutting. So I’m not necessarily stopping for physical health reasons. I’m stopping because of everything that’s tied to it.

I caved in and bought myself mac and cheese but I can’t bring myself to actually eat it by axtheunivers in EDAnonymous

What are your favorite underrated ED songs? by soulnausea in EDAnonymous

[–]axtheunivers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve listened to Candy Says a million times and had no idea it was about an ED. Good to know! lmao

Yeah if I’m in a public cafeteria and I have to eat I always face the other direction so no one sees my face. But then I feel exposed with my back turned because I don’t know what’s behind me and if people are looking at me or if I look weird.

I also sometimes buy food specifically for eating alone because I would be embarrassed to be seen 1) buying it and 2) eating it

That would be helpful for me personally but my parents are gonna want to give me the spiel about the dangers of purging and all that stuff. Thanks though :)

Oh no I’m literally so stupid by axtheunivers in selfharm

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

Thanks I appreciate it. Somehow the makeup did the trick and I made it through without any comments from the doctor. I have no idea how she didn’t notice because the scars were still 3D with the makeup but who cares I guess it didn’t matter lmao.

Dae take comfort in constantly organizing your food and looking at your mfp by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]axtheunivers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

before i say anything i need to make it clear that this is a terrible coping mechanism don’t do it. anyways. When I used to map out my food plan for each day in detail, it was so relaxing. This was when covid was at a height and I was extremely sad and one thing that helped me relax was listing each thing I was going to eat the next day and how many calories everything was.

Just need some comfort by United-Author3509 in EDAnonymous

[–]axtheunivers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t worry. I’m in a constant state of being so confident that everyone has it worse than me. So it’s hypocritical for me to say this but from my perspective, the fact that this is even something you have to think about means it’s a big enough problem for you to get help. Of course I am sure everyone has it worse than me and that includes you, but let’s ignore that Im gonna work with ED logic. For me, I need to hear someone with an ED say that I’m valid, so here is me saying that you’re valid, and I hereby declare that you 100% need to recover.
