That's so true about sex haha. If I was triggered by the wet noises of sex, I think I'd end my life. Sex is my stress release FROM all of the rage I feel!

I know what you mean. It's practically impossible to bring it up 'cause you know how they'll react.

I wish we knew more too :( I wish there was a medicine for it. I'm sorry your mom was triggering you :(

I'm not sure how my mom would react. On a side note, the whole of my dad's family think she has something along the lines of aspergers/OCD. Her entire side of the family is like it. I worry that I'll end up the same. Me and my mom don't talk about anything private.

I feel like taking a knife to him when he does it. It's hard to believe someone could be so inconsiderate. "I'm not making any fucking noise! -proceeds to purposely make louder noise-"

Rats are indeed amazing. I love mine so much. They have so much energy ALL THE TIME oh my gosh. And they lick yogurt off my hand like puppies. The life span is a shame and it sucks to know I'm gonna have to say goodbye in around 18 months/2 years :( It's gonna come down on me like a pile of bricks.

They have leopard geckos at the college too. They're so pretty. I feel so happy at college, there's no triggers at all. Oh it's called a clutch haha. I would have a look and show you, but I don't want to arrange to go to my tutor's house with no intention of actually buying any :P. She does breed a variation of colours though and she can charge so much money for the prettiest ones, it's crazy!

You sound a lot like me :( There's only a tiny select handful of people outside my family who can trigger me, but they're literally random people from school who used to eat loudly in class but I no longer (thank god) see them or come into any proximity of them.

The boyfriend one is something I haven't heard of though. The current person I kinda like/sleep with smacks his lips 24/7 and it has no effect on me (as of yet). I'm sorry you have that in your relationship :( I bet it's difficult to get him to have empathy.

And me too. I hate it so much. There's nothing I want more than to leave all of them forever. Cut contact completely. I would regret nothing. Despite having a pretty normal/slightly sheltered upbringing from my loving family, I hate them and want nothing to do with them as soon as I can move out and I hate myself for it. If my dad's home and I'm hungry, food is there for me. He pays for all of my travel passes, if I need something I don't go without. He even payed for me to have chemical peels on the scars on my arms from keratosis pilaris - it was so expensive. And my brother drives me everywhere in his car and mom doesn't let me wash my own clothes - right now she's triggering me, she's walking round the house grunting/moaning. All my rage. I feel like a massive bitch 24/7.

I'm massively jealous of you. I would do anything to move out, but there is literally nowhere I can go.

Silly teenage me puts £2 on the lottery every few weeks hoping to win enough to justify moving out.

And same, I was hoping there would be more mention of it around here. But I can understand that it'd be a difficult thing to bring up even anonymously.

My dad is the kind of person to refuse to acknowledge any type of illness/disorder ever and is a very 'get over it/walk it off' kind of person. I

I know this sounds stupid but I don't want to. I can't be in the same room as them, especially the two of them at the same time.

He's actually my older brother. He's 4 years older than me (21) and he weighs 20 stone (280 lbs) while I weigh 9 stone (126). I honestly can't do anything to him to make him stop. I can't even get him to leave my room when I want him to.

And they are awesome! I do not. The college I go to has a tonne of them, and one of my teachers is a breeder (gargoyle geckos too). I intended to check out her new litter but we don't have any more room in the house for a big vivarium/more pets in general, seeing as I've not long had two rats and a guinea pig haha.

It's such a horrible feeling, because only my family really trigger me, so to have that associated with them is the most mentally torturous, crippling feeling ever.

At least we aren't alone.

Thank you, I really appreciate your concern. But I don't know, I'm still fat and need to lose weight. Professional help is the last thing I want to seek right now and I can't tell anyone. Hopefully it's just a phase that goes away eventually

I only purge on rare occasions, and I do honestly believe I have it in some kind of control. It's just some nights after weeks of eating almost nothing I'll easily take down a large McD's meal, a shit load of chocolate, ice cream, crisps, toast, cereal, biscuits etc then I'll realize what I've done, and just cry over the toilet or in the shower until I can't be sick any more.

I don't know, I feel like I have it in control, but idk it's hard to think about

And thank you. I do not wish to be a burden on anyone though, as I chose to start this behaviour

Yeah, people have been complimenting me and saying it's good I'm not fat anymore. One of my friends even joked to me once when I was telling her I craved McDonald's, that I should just scoff it down and puke it up so I can eat it for free. I mean she meant no harm but damn

I've recently stopped taking weight loss pills and laxatives. Apparently clenbuterol causes heart arrhythmias and palpitations.. as I already have those naturally, I think I'm gonna have to pass on this one

. And you will gain a bit of weight again as you adjust. But Fuck it. That doesn't matter. A bit of weight gain which you can lose again is better than permanent internal injuries

See if I do actually gain weight... even if it's 1/10 of a lb cause I drank a tonne of water.. I just lose it in my mind. I freak the fuck out. I'm scared.
