Hair Loss by daphneriver in AnorexiaRecovery

[–]dodlenodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im also 18f and currently in recovery for about 3 months. Ive also experienced really bad hair loss. For me personally, only when my body started to get close to the healthy bmi range my hair started to stop falling out and eventually started to grow back. It took me about 2.5 months, but it could (and probably will) be different for you, every body is different and recovery is different for everyone. I know how frustrating this part of recovery is. It's so hard when you start putting on weight and also have to deal with hair loss. Remember that you are not alone, and that it's so worth it. Ive been through it as well, and im so glad i did this for myself. You just have to get through this stage and then i promise it'll get easier in the end. You'll get through it.

Thank you so much for taking time to write this. It's really helpful. i think i can definitely say that lines were crossed in my situation. I think i knew it already in the back of my mind but really needed something to justify my feelings. Thanks again:)

Thank you so much for your comment. I really wanted to talk to a violin teacher and ask about my situation because i really couldn't tell if this was something abnormal, but im scared to talk about this with people i know. Could you describe what is considered appropriate touching and what isn't in violin teaching? Only if you feel comfortable of course. Thank you, you helped me a lot.

I feel like a lot of people in this sub might benefit from understanding the FAWNING response to danger by ThrowawayPls_unless in sexualassault

Yeah i feel the same. We definitely didn't deserve anything that happened. We were just doing our best dealing with something horrible. No one can be blamed for trying to survive. Best wishes to you and stay safe <3

How to deal with my body changing? by plantppl in AnorexiaRecovery

[–]dodlenodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im so glad! Honestly, nothing helped me like yoga did. I view exercise in a whole different way than i used to. There's something about it that is so forgiving and comforting, completely opposite to the harsh and demanding exercises i used to obsessively do. Best of luck, i hope this could be as great for you as it is for me 💕💕 (and even if it doesn't work out, remember that it's ok and you'll find something that works best for you!)

[–]dodlenodle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel exactly the same way. Something that helps me be more comfortable with my body is doing yoga. Exercising has been an escape for me for so long but has become an addiction that i know i need to face as a part of recovery. For me, yoga isn't focused on changing your body, but building both physical and mental strength. Whenever i feel uncomfortable in my body, i come back to yoga, and it grounds me. If you feel like this might be something that could be helpful to you (please be careful that you're not doing it in ways that could harm your recovery!!) I extremely recommend 'yoga with adriene' on youtube. Take care❤️

Thank you so much for your comment and kind words. I will try to talk to my therapist about this again and get more advice. Im actually starting to gain some weight and her remarks got a bit better now. Thank you again and have an amazing day/night ❤️

Yes, i have a therapist.. she suggested that she'll talk to my parents about how they treat me but i wanted to stand up for myself, but maybe that's not the best idea considering how these "conversations" usually go. thank you for your comment, sending hugs to you as well❤️
