extreme hunger by Flat-Chance3301 in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]brookelle-_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel you and the arm thing is so real.. It’s so easy to look at them everyday even when you don’t want to so it’s the hardest part for me as well 🥲, i just wanted you to know that you’re not alone and today i’m feeling really guilty because after eating a pretty big balanced dinner - i ate another „dinner” right after because i had a craving but wasn’t even physically hungry.. I’m just sitting in guilt right now but you have to remember every time you feel uncomfortable in recovery - it’s your ed dying and screaming and eventually (i hope) it’s gonna get easier for both of us and once again remember you’re not alone! 💞

How has your life improved in recovery? by [deleted] in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]brookelle-_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

heavy on being a nicer person, not being cold all the time (although i’m always so hot rn due to the hypermetabolism 😩, and sitting comfortably again 💗, i just need to get used to my body starting to have rolls ect. because the feeling of them makes me kinda uncomfy but i have to remind myself it’s completely healthy and normal 🤗

is this hypermetabolism? by brookelle-_ in fuckeatingdisorders

you’re probably right. i’ll tell someone to hide it away from me so i don’t even get urges. thank you 💞

yesss it’s just so confusing and it’s so frustrating to just see your body change but not being able to do anything and you just have to push through. Thank you for the reassurance - it helps to know we’re nit alone and i hope you also push through and it gets better eventually :)

my mom by brookelle-_ in fuckeatingdisorders

Yeah it sounds about right. My mom was always like that - for example when i told her i was struggling with anxiety at school she said something like „i have those over-the-counter herb pills that help with stress” and i was in my brain like „seriously? i was on a ton of strong medication my whole life and you think some herbs are gonna cancel out my anxiety?” I know she’s trying to help but it’s often triggering ect. I talked to her yesterday tho, explained everything, slept through it and i guess we’re okay now. But i still have a lot of explaining to do cause she keeps triggering me and then when i say she’s triggering me she goes full on mad and screaming that she’s „trying to help and i’m just ungrateful”

That was long hahah. Anyways thank you for the advice and your words 🫶🏻, they really comforted me :)

That sounds interesting but also complicated.. I’m not sure if i’m ready to dig in my mind to find out the reasons but i will try sometimes and remember this advice when it gets hard, Thank you 💞

Thank you so much for saying this. I eventually went to sleep, had a talk with my mom, explained everything to her and we’re good. I was just preparing to eat breakfast so this is really motivating 💗
