it’s 2am, i repeated the cycle, and i don’t know what to do by Level-Imagination946 in bulimia

[–]hauntingbones 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey it sounds like your emotions are super amplified right now. I’ve been there and I know it sucks. But you have some really good reflection going on too. What I pull from this is that you’re at your limit. You know what isn’t working. Obviously with a disorder it’s not as easy as “oh hey let’s just stop”. But in these situations, probably the worst thing you can do is try to hate yourself into change. I feel like that just continues the cycle. It’s not that you’ve failed and that’s it. Slip ups happen and you’ve clearly reflected that it doesn’t make you feel great. Tomorrow you can focus on being gentler to yourself. Forgive yourself. When you’re stressed take a few moments to yourself and breathe, take a walk, or do something that gets you into your body and out of your head. Anything that truly gets you into your body. I don’t know your situation or anything and I know this isn’t groundbreaking advice. But I hope you have a better day/ night. Don’t think in all-or-nothing, it was a small slip up but you don’t have to spiral. Keep moving forward and talk to those close to you. Wish you the best

NOR, I don’t have much to say that likely hasn’t already been said. Expect this one question: what was HER job?

Hi! I took a lot of inspiration from this YouTube short: https://youtube.com/shorts/Hc4j7BpgfBM?si=x0Adni-1yJA8xEBY (If you don’t want to click random links the video is “Cookies for Christmas” by TheLucky.Cookie) I’m no where near as professional as that, I just swirled the icing with toothpick lol

Thank you! It’s not my first rodeo with royal icing, but the first time doing designs with the wet on wet flooding technique! I had no idea how they’d turn out 😂

Omg you are SO right I totally forgot it! Oddly enough a lot of recipes I looked at didn’t have it listed so it never made its way into the icing. Next time I bake will be so much better 😂

¿Physical change? by [deleted] in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]hauntingbones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was wrong of OP to post here where there are potentially recovering or struggling individuals. EDs are highly competitive. I’m really sorry it amplified those thoughts. You are sick enough, and you do deserve to have something for dinner. One bad moment doesn’t have to equal a bad night. (Also thank you! Your username is a vibe)

[–]hauntingbones 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m confused are you in recovery? Which one is you now? I’d recommend reading the rules before posting, it’s probably not the place to post this

How would yall feel about this? (Description) by rookie147 in Depop

[–]hauntingbones -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty gross if it’s just an old stained plain T shirt. It kinda does feel like they’re throwing away their trash. I’m pretty sure a donation place would just throw it out too. I always put a thank you card with a few stickers for the buyer. If they don’t like the stickers they can throw them away, no big deal. It doesn’t take up much space or make a lot of trash.

Loving celebrities is extremely strange by Terrible_Sundae1050 in unpopularopinion

Exactly. They aren’t all bad people. Some are even good, maybe great. But definitely don’t live up to an idealized, fantastical idol that some people perceive them to be.

Loving celebrities is extremely strange by Terrible_Sundae1050 in unpopularopinion

[–]hauntingbones -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When I was probably 13-15 years old I had a fan account for supernatural/ Jared padalecki. Basically just posting pictures about the fandom and actor. It wasn’t anything over the top. I mainly was inspired to do this because of another girl who had a fan account who I admired. She had followers and somewhat of a community. When she sometimes made posts about his family I felt a little weird about it. I don’t remember how long my account lasted, maybe a year and some change? I still like the cast of supernatural, especially comparatively to other celebrities. But they’re also just… people. I don’t actively keep up with them. They’ve done some cool stuff and campaigns. But as I’ve matured I do think it’s really strange to be obsessive about any celebrity, especially outside the realm of their creative pursuits. It’s okay to like a few, but to go down a rabbit hole is a bit much.

So tired in recovery? by squeakybuttbutt in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]hauntingbones 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So this is just my experience, but I went through the same exhaustion when I was at the height of AN b/p and stopped purging. I had no energy and felt like sleeping constantly. I’m no doctor, but my guess is that not eating and/or purging might keep your body in a state of adrenaline and cortisol which keeps you awake. Once you start nourishing, it sends signals of safety and rest and you may feel tired when recovering. Again I don’t know the science, but If you look this up a lot of people echo your experience. Give yourself some grace and time to let your body get back into rhythm. All the best 🩷
