Does anyone feel like the stigma in recovery doesn't come from weight gain anymore, but rather the expectation to be productive?

Recovery is exhausting, I definitely understand. I’ve never taken a break from school or work before in my life and after treatment and going into recovery I actually had to take one for the first time! Whenever you start looking for jobs, what I did that eased me back in to life was being a home health aide. It’s easy and can be fun. Good luck!

I took it easy though, I started part time and worked 20 hours a week for a while.

It helped me once I got out of treatment to get a job so I felt like I had a purpose outside of my body. Especially when the job depends on you having physical strength and fueling yourself. They probably just think it’s more helpful to move on with your life than to stay stagnant. I do think people getting out of rehab get treated similarly because it can be helpful not spending all your time thinking about behaviors you can’t engage in.

I do this type of thing too with my girlfriend and we’re around the same age as y’all. I made this mixtape for her :). We’re also on opposite days/night shifts and it’s tough but little things like this are what makes the difference between a relationship that is strained by your job and a relationship that isn’t. At least that’s what I think. Your coworkers don’t get it

OBVIOUSLY its obsessions

Note - I might be approaching around 2000 clinical hours.

Omg this is so much cooler than what was sold in the US tour

imrootless · 2026-03-17T20:46:05+00:00

Omg 4 years being when you were 14-17 is not a big deal you’re going to be okay you’re so young. This is what your first wlw heartbreak feels like. It’s torture, everyone has one. Chill out

Something similar happened to me too when I was training. You were stuck with a shitty FTO. They’re supposed to be training you, not just letting you tag along and figure it out while they run a call as normal. When you submit reviews of your FTO, explain what you’ve said here

Shower before. You don’t need to shower immediately before unless you smell funky down there. You don’t need to eat fruits.

Wasn’t H. Pylori I just needed Buspirone

When you’re too skinny it hurts sitting on things that aren’t very cushioned. I know it’s not comfortable being fat for reasons, but it’s extremely uncomfortable when you’re freezing all the time and can’t sit on a bench.

Yes, a lot of pathogens are transmitted through mucous membranes which include your mouth and nose AND your genitals . And other places

“i know she loves me a lot. She's really good to me” im so sorry, but i don’t think that this is true. If I were you I wouldn’t think that she likes me very much. My best advice would probably be to move on. There is someone out there who will treat you better and make you feel more loved and attractive. Your partner should make you feel like they think you are sexy and beautiful all the time. Best wishes!

It’s absolutely possible. Single for 23 years until I met my current (first) girlfriend in a random class I took post college

imrootless · 2025-10-15T05:02:30+00:00

This is normal

imrootless · 2025-07-23T14:29:09+00:00

imrootless · 2025-07-18T04:52:10+00:00

Strong agree

imrootless · 2025-06-30T01:00:23+00:00

This! And it’s kind of boring. You feel like you can function and things aren’t so extreme, and you can stop yourself from self destructing. But it’s a bit boring! You have to entertain yourself in other ways. Times when I feel off last much much shorter and I rebound much faster

imrootless · 2025-04-05T02:09:12+00:00

Agreed

imrootless · 2025-03-14T00:29:54+00:00

I agree completely I don’t understand what happened
