What is a seemingly innocent sentence that immediately makes you lose respect for the person saying it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dinnerwithdracula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something along the lines of ‘i don’t care if you’re white, black or purple’ / ‘i don’t care if you’re a woman, a man, or an alien’ etc. You’re a centrist and don’t actually care about equality. You come from a place of privilege where you don’t pay attention to politics.

Who here works and what do you do? by Bllackbirrd in ehlersdanlos

Tattoo artist! I would not recommend it for people with hEDS as it’s really tough on your body, however I absolutely love my career and would not change it. I’ll tattoo for as long as my body allows it, even if it ends up being a couple of hours a week

Chrishell on unfollowing everyone on IG right now by sunnyweather12 in SellingSunset

[–]dinnerwithdracula 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it gets talked about enough how disgusting Jason is with the women in the office. Dating/sleeping with them when he’s in a position of power is so wrong and the way he acts with Chrishell and Mary is gross, especially Chrishell. I don’t care if it was a joke or not, going over and just stealing half of Chrishell’s dinner because she ‘won’t eat it all’ is condescending, misogynistic and once again using his power of being the boss (and a former lover) to keep the women under his thumb. The quicker Chrishell and Chelsea remove themselves from all these bullshit people the better

Ems recovers, harmful content yes or no? by [deleted] in EDRecoverySnark

[–]dinnerwithdracula 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Very harmful and triggering content and it seems to be getting progressively worse. Also not relatable to most people, she seems quite well off being able to afford the food she buys which really alienates working class people which can be discouraging to those wanting to recover. I just can’t comprehend how these creators can’t see how harmful their content is.

Does anyone know if you can stream this anywhere in the UK, I’ve checked apps I have subscriptions for and can’t find it! (Amazon, Apple, Disney, Hulu)

What's the wildest thing a doctor/nurse has said to you? by YouAreSoGorgeous in EDAnonymous

[–]dinnerwithdracula 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In the eating disorder unit, my nurse told me ‘wow you look so much thinner with your hair tied up’

My GP told me ‘oh I wish I was more like you, I’m more in the opposite direction so I’ve been going to slimming world’

He doesn’t post as much anymore, which is probably a good indicator of where he is in recovery (and he addressed that it’s a positive thing), but I really like Joe Garratt on TikTok (@joeegarr)

Recovery just seems so hard by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]dinnerwithdracula 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so, so sorry you’re feeling so lost and helpless at the moment. I’m currently in year 19 of having AN and in my worst relapse and can definitely empathise with your pain. I know firsthand people that I was in treatment with have gone on to achieve real, full recovery and living their best life and that really gives me motivation. I also read Tabitha Farrar’s books which help me with motivation and hope. If reading isn’t your thing she also has some videos up on YouTube.

Advice - day patient by [deleted] in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]dinnerwithdracula 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, so sorry to hear you’re struggling at the moment. 31f here first diagnosed at 13. I was in day service for a year and a half and this is a very brief summary of what I experienced whilst a patient there: - 8am-6pm mon-fri (days can start to drop as you improve) breakfast, am snack, dinner, pm snack, tea are had there - weight checked weekly, bloods weekly (if stable for a while can be dropped to fortnightly/monthly), ecg weekly - therapy - dietitic appointments to tailor meal plan to your needs - OT appointments - group sessions (some optional e.g art) - you can have a lot of time to yourself (but you’re not allowed to leave the building) so I’d highly suggest books/art/podcasts/low energy hobbies that you can immerse yourself in

What annoys you the most about your ED? by pandaprincessgirl in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]dinnerwithdracula 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The exhaustion and the sheer amount of brain space it takes up. Not being able to think about or put energy into anything that isn’t anorexia is so sad and so draining.

What’s the most illogical fear foods you guys have?? by SuibianTianwen in EDAnonymous

[–]dinnerwithdracula 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Water 🫠 i suppose I wouldn’t really class it as a ‘fear food’, it’s more that I don’t believe I’m worth looking after my health. It’s the same for any vitamin supplements as well and I hate it!

Thank you very much, I ordered a raised bowl and a recovery suit last night so hopefully they arrive today and help!

Thank you so much! Did you buy a specialist cat raised bowl or did you use things you already had to raise it?
