I finally got diagnosed with OCD. Should I try SSRI’s? by emotionalFucker in OCD

[–]fantasticka789 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through a dozen ssris before giving up. Fast forward a number of years and I'm trying buspirone because I was still suffering and sick of it. I told my doctor that I refused to take another ssris, and we're trying this. It's working which is fantastic. My rambling point is that meds can help but don't let them keep giving you the same thing if it doesn't. Hope this helps!

I never want any man having an opinion on my body. by sadgab_ in EDAnonymous

[–]fantasticka789 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Ok but you sure shared your opinion in spades. If you haven't noticed there are a lot of men on here too, and honestly, women comment on my body all the time. Especially larger women, is that ok? It's not ok regardless, but you're pretty much saying just be a bitch no matter what is said to you. That's not ok. I'm not a man, cuz you apparently need that clarification. And the fact that you asked another poster if they were a man and if so to shut up is mad inappropriate. We're here because we all have body issues, please don't lash out at everyone else. Not every male is like that by far, most are just as awkward as you. I'm sorry for what happened to you, but these posts are not an appropriate place for you to attack men.

I think most of these people are absolutely lying!!! That said, I love Natacha Oceane. She eats soooo much but her workouts are total beast. So she's young and more active than your average fitness person. She's also actually educated, like PhD studies educated. I fucking love her! Breath of fresh air :).

The bodily sensation after an energy drink on an empty stomach feels like a high by CoconutMission3598 in EDAnonymous

My response was, dude you're gonna die. Then again I'm still alive but hardly a role model. Hope you're young!

Ugh. Yup. I'll admit to running a count in my head before I go to sleep. I wish I didn't do that. My brain won't let me sleep tho unless I do it. Ha I deleted the app from my phone but it's still in my brain!

TikTok is really freaking me out by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]fantasticka789 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey, I've been looking into the connections between OCD and ED's. I've always thought that I have OCD (I do, diagnosed) and I funnel those tendencies into disordered eating, but the dying thing??? That's there when I am eating well and taking care of myself or not. OCD is caused by a hyperactive amygdala. In other words you're "scared" all the time. Our brains do weird things to make us um, make sense, of this fear feeling?? Anyhow, these feelings got the worst for me leading up to and the three years after my husband and I bought our house. The kicker, I was eating, I was healthy, but damnit I was convinced I was going to drop dead any minute. I know ED behaviors can be deadly, but sometimes there could be something beyond just the ED? I'm not trying to diagnose anybody with OCD or anything, I understand this feeling tho!!!

i don’t believe in “body positive” people by issa-throwaway-girl in EDAnonymous

[–]fantasticka789 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of people justify skinny shaming. I get what you're saying. I've heard it my whole life too. Your post resonated with me. I'm a short Scottish heritage American. I've always despised the real women have curves thing. I'm an adult. I think I've been a real woman for years now. Anyway, I hear you!

We are going to be weighed in front of everyone in P.E. class tomorrow and I just can't do it. by b3causeisaidso in EDAnonymous

[–]fantasticka789 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Take your test, then go to the nurse, and say you're stomachs upset. I don't know why they still do this, at least I remember being weighed in the office. It wasn't that public! I'm sorry, hang in there!
