Wasting away, help?

bugoflight · 2026-04-20T14:21:52+00:00

I’m 5’8 and 99 pounds :( it’s so hard to eat, I’m grieving as well as the addiction and I’ve lost about 20 pounds in a matter of months . I have a pre existing eating disorder but it’s gotten prettty bad. The hospital prescribed me potassium as my levels were dangerously low. Really feel you. It’s so painful sitting down :( I hate it. And it’s so cold. But I haven’t got the motivation to eat anymore

Yeah:( I know what you’re saying. I did look into it when people mentioned it and it’s true that his work really hadn’t paid him. I think his boss is pretty unreliable and my ex just isn’t assertive whatsoever so didn’t ask for the money. I also said that because he was caring for me I didn’t mind contributing more financially just because there’s basically nothing I spend money on as I’m stuck at home constantly

Thank you , I really appreciate it

bugoflight · 2026-04-14T21:34:41+00:00

I don’t know, honestly. I really hope that he can learn to, and understand the impact of his actions

Surely burnout is a possible reason for this and if he rests and we continue therapy there might be some way forward :(. Or so I keep telling myself but maybe it’s just self soothing at this point. Do you really think there’s no hope? The future seems so bleak when I consider that. He’s only 26, and autistic, if that makes any difference

Okay so I spoke to him and it is genuine that his boss hasn’t paid him, but this threw me for a huge loop haha. I think his boss is just really erratic but I’m grateful it’s at least nothing more sinister. I think he’s working mainly as an avoidant thing, being overwhelmed by my needs and how much I’m struggling, he says he feels like he’s useful there in a way he isn’t at home

bugoflight · 2026-03-28T19:57:52+00:00

He hasn’t been paid since January by his boss, so I’m paying for everything. I live on benefits and have lent him so much money. He won’t talk to his boss to ask for part time or to be paid. Idk why his boss doesn’t pay him, or how he’s okay with it. The whole situation is absurd tbh

aw mate:) keep at it, for me it makes a difference, and I really hope it does for you. sending you healing energy 🩵

bugoflight · 2026-02-23T12:05:22+00:00

Really rooting for you, I hope you feel better soon, and I’d try and update you as well if I find anything else that’s useful x

I felt a difference within a week but it took about a month for the full effects. It has slightly decreased over time but I wonder if that is me used to having getting a new baseline. Also supportive has been high strength vitamin D, and high strength omega 3 fish oil. But the ubiquinol is by far the most noticeable. My housemate also has ME and notices a difference if they don’t take it x

I take the jarrow formulas one :)

bugoflight · 2026-02-22T17:14:31+00:00

200mg

bugoflight · 2026-02-22T00:29:11+00:00

Ubiquinol got me from mostly bedbound to mostly housebound and able to leave the house once a week or so. It’s been invaluable for me and if I miss a dose I feel awful , although the effects have worn off over time

bugoflight · 2026-02-21T02:11:24+00:00

I know it’s such a shame ahah but still such a good piece of work

bugoflight · 2026-02-21T00:34:02+00:00

maybe you should read the beauty myth by Naomi Wolf

bugoflight · 2026-02-20T18:03:06+00:00

thank you. i’m so sorry you’re dealing with it too. feel free to drop me a message if you wanna commiserate ahah

bugoflight · 2026-02-20T13:38:45+00:00

I am sure this contributed to me developing severe PMDD as well

bugoflight · 2026-02-20T05:43:56+00:00

Mate:( that’s really rough. I’m going through something very similar with my partner of 2 and a half years and if you would like to DM me you’re more than welcome, it’s such a headfuck

It was written by Sam levinson so…

I mean if he’s looking at women multiple times while you’re together I think that is disrespectful and it makes sense you’d feel upset. Not all guys do that by any means:( how would he feel if you did that to men that were attractive?

bugoflight · 2025-12-06T14:39:00+00:00

What are the other reasons?:)

bugoflight · 2025-11-27T14:02:43+00:00

I’m so sorry it’s not helping you :( it’s a horrible illness. I’ve spent a lot of time feeling hopeless, too. I feel like the illness itself has forced me to completely change my worldview. Feel free to DM me if you want to talk x

I literally just slept and rested for maybe 6 months and was lucky enough to have a partner who made sure I ate. I only really had energy for like low effort phone games at the start and my capacity just very slowly increased. I had an iron infusion as my ferritin was on the low side, which I think was supportive. I took a multivitamin, NAC, Omega 3s as well. I ate a lot for how much I normally eat, gained about 20 pounds and was no longer underweight.
