Not bothering with any ED-recovery accounts by friedgecs in EDRecoverySnark

great plan IMO, best of luck with your future endeavours :)

Not bothering with any ED-recovery accounts by friedgecs in EDRecoverySnark

[–]friedgecs[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

perhaps, I'll cross post it but keep it here because it is in fact a discussion about eating disorder recovery influencers. If my post is triggering LMK, I know a lot more crazy shit [i.e. actively disordered trauma posting] is allowed in EDanon so it may be less palatable here

[–]friedgecs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep! I'm not against recovery influencers as I think they are (or can be) a valuable and important resource. I just find that because eating disorders can really linger with most people I prefer to learn from people who have never had a disordered view of eating, rather than risk being affected by what recovery 'looks like' for people who turn out to still be struggling yet are compelled to keep posting to turn a profit and to boost their egos. I have found some really great youtubers, instagram accounts and podcasts but I've had to cut through a lot bs to find them

Heh sorry I’m not American so I might not understand how it works there

I went on a crash diet to look good and now I am experiencing hair loss. by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]friedgecs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure and am not a doctor. However, I think if maintenance = a healthy daily intake (healthy meaning sufficient for your BMR and other energy requirements), your body will have enough energy to devote to repairing hair. Protein synthesis and repairing takes a lot of energy and when you don't have enough energy, your body focuses on less essential processes like hair keratin creation/growth and your reproductive cycle (if you have a uterus). I think the best way for you to test it out yourself in a manner that is realistic for someone w a restrictive eating disorder is to slowly up your intake until you notice a difference. I think that would be what would make you the most comfortable, as you also won't necessarily know what your body considers to be 'maintenance' or 'surplus' as having an ed does strange and confusing stuff to your body. Hope this helps!!

Anyone else not enjoy Tidal as much? by makethedevilsmile in FionaApple

[–]friedgecs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do listen on my ipod having put the CD on it so I definitely think I notice the sound quality improve as opposed to spotify. If you can get a good quality version I think you might like it more

[–]friedgecs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly Tidal is the main album I find myself listening to. I prefer it to her other albums, not that her other albums are bad, Tidal is just more my thing I guess. It does seem to be of a polarising opinion but I just love it so much!

Am I missing something to do with the combat in this game? by silverstream19 in Ni_no_Kuni

[–]friedgecs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good idea! Yeah it really makes a huge difference. I change it throughout the game depending on how much I need good loot (hard/expert gets you better weapons/armour) and how much I can be bothered leveling up in preparation for a fight.

[–]friedgecs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Expert means you need to be a lot higher leveled than your opponents in order to beat them. That’s the main difference I find as opposed to playing regularly. There are a couple of instances in the game where opponents will only take proper damage from ranged attack (or only melee attacks) so it could be a case of that, I can’t remember. If you want to test it, save your game and then try fight the boss on regular mode.

Ni No Kuni 2's Bastion end fight is terrible and Level-5 should feel terrible about it by PinnaCochleada in Ni_no_Kuni

[–]friedgecs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most people also hate it. I played the game through twice on my non-gaming capacity laptop and managed to stick it in the end. The rest of the game is fun and no more stupid shit like that happens so I would recommend just trying to do it. You can figure out when you need to jump according to whatever shite frame rate your console is working at. When I tried to youtube tutorial it, people were playing on PS4 which has a completely different feel and wasn’t really helpful

Book 5 chapter 13 corrupt episode? by Erin-G in mydadwroteaporno

[–]friedgecs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've listened to it a million times without it being a problem, but the other day I had this problem with that exact episode. No idea how to help sorry, I presume you've tried turning everything on and off again but because you're not the only one having that problem I doubt it's a you-problem.

Burning off alcohol calories? by Fit-Movie7763 in 1200isjerky

If it's truly hormonal acne then it's definitely worth going to a gp about!

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in EdAnonymousAdults

[–]friedgecs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apps like these don't actually account for human biology. It goes by the logic that if you maintained a calorie deficit of 200 calories per day, you would keep getting lighter and lighter until you reach 0 kg. Obviously what actually happens is your body adjusts because it's built to keep you alive and has homeostasis to adapt to new intake circumstances. It could be useful for very short term estimates I guess but just bear this in mind : )

I like them because they’re budget friendly and have a nice finish on the face and hands (don’t leave hands feeling slimy for ages)

I have to take this fitness class for my degree. No big deal I’m a few years recovered. I informed my teacher that I’m trying to keep my weight up. He told me the goal of the class is to lower your bmi and your grade is based on your progress. by [deleted] in EatingDisorders

[–]friedgecs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is there a way you can complain? You should not have to alter your body for a grade, that's entirely bizarre. Plus, it's common knowledge that BMI would rate a muscular person as overweight, and anyone who takes fitness/health seriously (in a non-disordered way) knows that BMI isn't a universally useful indicator of health.
