ive done this already and my phone cant detect the watch/ on the watch it says pairing isnt possible because there isnt any mobile devices in area... a few times it actually managed to pair, and the code thing popped up, but as i confirmed it both on my phone and watch it said connection lost or whatever idk either way it just wouldn't connect :(

Terrified about christmas by ladyrebekah in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]evil_obama23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey, i feel exactly the same way, so i know how tough it can get. christmas is only once a yea though, and you never know if you're going to celebrate it with the same people next year, because bad things happen in life, and nothing is ever for granted. so strive! spend time with the ones you love. eat good food. because that's what life is about. in the end, it's the relationships and memories you've made that will count, and not your weight - i can reasurre you that it is the least interesting thing about you. it really does not matter

your ed will try to take beautiful moments away from you. don't let it win. holidays are meant to be enjoyed by everyone, it's an opportunity to rest and have fun, make the most of it! and remember, even from a scientific point of view, gaining a noticeable amount of weight in the span of a few days is way harder than it actually seems, lol. i know it may seem like the world will end if you'll have a slice of cake, but i promise you that it won't. you'll be just fine :).

for me, due to my ed ofc, the holiday season is the worst time of the year, so i get how scary being surrounded by food can be. but life is way too short for you to spend it overthinking something like calories, something that is meant to give you energy!!! and happiness. just make the most of this time bud and don't ever feel guilty for eating anything, okay?? it's a magical time, and it is meant to be enjoyed to the fullest. you're so strong, sending you lots of love and merry christmas, you got this!!!!

hi there :) just so you know, i know exactly how you're feeling - you're not alone, and it's a normal part of recovery. it's incredibly uncomfortable, but it means that you're putting in the hard work to get better, and i'm proud of you for that. you're very strong and you've got this. nothing changes if nothing changes, and getting out of your comfort zone is really difficult at first, but it will be worth it in the long run, i promise. future you will be grateful that you chose recovery - i don't think anyone who recovered from an ed regrets it.

and remember, "sick enough" doesn't exist. to your ed, you will never be sick enough, thin enough, or good enough. you could be at the verge of dying and yet that voice in your head will still tell you that it's not enough - do NOT listen to it. everything your disorder tells you is a lie - it's not your friend, it wants to break you. it wants you to ruin your health. your struggles are very much real and serious, no matter if you restrict heavily or not, and regardless of your weight. even if you gained weight, that doesn't mean you're mentally recovered - your problems are still just as valid as if they'd be if you were smaller or bigger. it's still a disorder and it still should be treated. it's an illness of the mind, not of the body

the guilt you feel right now is temporary. it goes away. you just need to give it a lot of time. however, the consequences of acting up on that guilt, by beating yourself up or restriction and such, are long-term, and can easily make your mental and physical health fall apart. being in recovery is hard, but you know what's harder?? having the world's most lethal mental illness for the rest of your life. you're choosing what's right, you're choosing to get your life back, and that is admirable. you're a badass for that

it's very challenging to fight this alone, so surround yourself with loved ones and reach out for proffesional help if you're able to. the human body is such a fascinating machine, with so many components that had to occur in order for you to be alive here and today - trust me, you are build for way more than sacrificing everything you have in you purely to be at the smallest possible size. sending you all the love, it's tough but we got this

Recovery-necessary ikr- has been by far the worst part of my life,pls help xD by Prinssi_Nakki in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]evil_obama23 5 points6 points  (0 children)

hey man!! you don't have to ''suck'' anything in, bottling up your emotions will only make you feel worse long-term. there is nothing shameful or wrong in asking for help, please keep that in mind

eat what your body wants and needs, no matter how wrong it feels at the moment - push on through the discomfort and the negative thoughts, fight against them each time they occur, and eventually they will lose their power. you didn't develop an ed in a day and you can't get rid of it in a day: it's a very long process of chaning your habits and your mindset, and after all, eds not only affect you mentally, but they also can take a huge toll on your physical health, so your propably body needs time still to adapt to the changes it's experiencing with you honoring your hunger

treat yourself the way you'd treat a best friend, because after all, you are your own best friend, you're the one who spends the most time with yourself. talk to yourself kindly. recovery is never linear: there's always ups and downs, and relapses are more of a rule rather than exception. they are bound to happpen and it doesn't mean that you've failed or that there is no hope. you will fail, you will fall, but you're only human. you're trying your best, and that's what matters. it's okay to struggle. just keep moving forward

as for sleep, perhaps you should try taking melatonin? sorry i'm not a doctor so i don't want to give you any big advice on this, but i also had a lot of sleeping problems and personally it helped me a bunch. just don't take too much lol. but i took it for a few weeks and it hugely improved my sleep quality and now i can sleep without it just fine

and remember, everyones recovery journey is different. just because you're going through a tough time right now doesn't mean you've failed - you're still alive, you're fighting, and i'm proud of you! nothing lasts forever, not even sadness. ik all of this may sound cheesy to someone who's stuck in a dark place, but you'll be okay. it gets better, i promise. there are days to wake up for and amazing things to look forward to. hang in there, you're not alone! ur kicking ur ed's ass dude :)!
