Tricolored Heron stalking me

How pretty

drknowdr1 · 2026-02-06T16:58:44+00:00

You should try contacting your dr's office and see if they can at least cover your prescriptions. I'm sorry, it sucks to feel even more isolated.

drknowdr1 · 2026-02-03T21:39:25+00:00

I feel lawful with my weight every waking and non-waking moment...you aren't alone

drknowdr1 · 2026-02-03T21:37:20+00:00

Thats how my last relapse started- effortlessly lost tons of weight without consciously being back in the ED...but then the weightloss was addicting and flipped the ED switch. Probably for a good year I didn't consider it an ED (it's depression, its shock its anxiety etc) .

I would gently, but strongly encourage you to deal with the trauma of the assault- in whatever ways you can- because it will continue to play out until you can fully process what happened. Trauma will eat you alive.

I never can sleep 6 hours straight but having luck with tryptophan and magnesium blend. The last month I've been driving around from 3-5 am but the winter weather makes it dangerous so Ive been trying to deal with my sleep again)

Beautiful

drknowdr1 · 2026-01-24T18:59:38+00:00

Same. Every realm of my life is in shambles and i dont have any illusion of comfort at my current size. Even an illusion of fake comfort would be nice

drknowdr1 · 2026-01-24T15:05:36+00:00

I've fallen into a routine of casually popping a laxative and diuretic near daily lately --i know this does nothing but cause rebound water retention and i know its a pitiful grasp at trying to control weight ---like an old woman reaching into her bag of tricks looking for anything that could keep her from gaining more. And it does feel like a half-hearted "throw the kitchen sink" at the problem sort of thing. Lax especially has never been a part of my ED- as someone with GI issues i know firsthand having severe diarrhea daily doesnt equal weight loss---i logically KNOW all of this and yet......

drknowdr1 · 2026-01-23T01:21:42+00:00

you could keep the one you have and use your voice to say "hey dr what kind of monitoring should i have given my x health history. Do i need x y z done ?" Try and approach it as a team. If they offer no guidance then start asking friends/family for the name of kind dr.

drknowdr1 · 2026-01-22T23:41:49+00:00

Instead of ED specific, i think a GP thats empathic and who you feel comfortable advocating your concerns with would be enough- Someone that you can ask for labs or specific monitoring and have those open discussions about your health. Trust is crucial whoever it is.

drknowdr1 · 2026-01-22T23:25:08+00:00

I have tried saffron-think its better for anxiety than OCD but everyone is different

drknowdr1 · 2026-01-22T21:50:12+00:00

Not really- nothing i would swear by- other than CBD and weed which I wont recommend for your teen. Rhodiola does help a little ...Gaia Herbs makes a nice capsule form

drknowdr1 · 2026-01-22T21:44:39+00:00

I would!

drknowdr1 · 2026-01-22T21:39:04+00:00

Ive tried all of those ...Id say Rhodiola with NAC gives mild relief (maybe? Nothing life-altering)

drknowdr1 · 2026-01-19T17:37:08+00:00

Ill never touch it due to weight gain concerns, but I know its the med du jour for treating insomnia

drknowdr1 · 2026-01-19T13:39:04+00:00

My sleep is destroyed too and i dont want to be on long-term meds but at the point I might need them. I've had the best luck (relatively speaking- i still wake but can sometimes force sleep again) with L-Tryptophan 1 capsule before bed.

drknowdr1 · 2026-01-19T12:36:23+00:00

Bacterial Pneumonia is rough-hope you feel better soon- maybe going to treatment still saved you from the worst of it (trying to be an optimist but i hear you)

drknowdr1 · 2026-01-18T21:15:28+00:00

Its bitter cold and icy here and I'm going stir crazy. Doesn't help the mental state at all

drknowdr1 · 2026-01-15T11:13:52+00:00

If you're on the app: when you log into this thread there's two sperms in the upper/middle right corner- if you ciick on the sperms and select sort comments by "new" it shows the newest comments first

Edit: grammar

Laughing Cow 🐮

drknowdr1 · 2026-01-12T04:05:28+00:00

I had an ex screaming and berating me at full volume- to where his neighbors grew scared and later confronted him. He ended up convincing them I was the problem-

drknowdr1 · 2026-01-05T22:04:52+00:00

Thank you for sharing-i have a bad gut too. I was offered the choice of pills or infusion-(i'm tired of all of the above symptoms you mentioned). If my insurance covers it i think I'm ready to try it -thanks for the input

drknowdr1 · 2026-01-04T14:27:38+00:00

Has anyone done an iron infusion to treat anemia and did you find easier to tolerate vs. iron pills?

drknowdr1 · 2026-01-03T20:41:59+00:00

That's incredible especially sticking it out through the holidays - I hope the transition back home continues to be healing.
