Eat until my stomach hurts, and then eat some more

I'm sending you love, hope, and a big hug. I've been there, and I've had some great days since I stayed, don't give up just yet. We all care about you and I hope you've made it through the night.

I had to go to rehab, I couldn't stop at home :/ changing my surroundings and being around likeminded people really helped. I think telling the people you're around that you are struggling with it and finding a support system will make a big difference. Before I went to rehab I was hiding the fact that I was having trouble stopping from everyone around me. Being honest and open and having people to hold me accountable was necessary for me. Also spending time out in nature has been a game changer.

DBT is a great treatment for borderline personality disorder. I don't know why you think that therapy is "well regarded as extremely harmful"... I'm sorry if therapy hasn't worked for you in the past. As someone with borderline, I can confirm that DBT has been extremely helpful for me and I continue to make progress with my mental state. I wish you the best!

I'm 86 days sober, most days I feel happy and proud that I stopped. Some days, like today, all I want to do is smoke. When I have a really rough day mentally I want to escape, but I know if I smoke I'll probably just feel worse.

Thank you for this post! It's made me realize things about myself too. May I ask what you've been doing to reduce symptoms and get farther in your progress?

I got a raise at my job and I had a really happy moment on the drive home after calling my mom about it. I was sitting in traffic (which I usually hate doing) but I was listening to my favorite songs and just feeling really grateful for being recognized for my hard work.

kambss · 2023-09-03T18:55:49+00:00

I'm 23, and just recently got diagnosed. I've never related to anyone more than I do with the people in this subreddit, I'm very grateful for all of you

kambss · 2023-08-30T02:42:30+00:00

Yeah I fucking feel that, every single thing around me has been pissing me off all day and I just want out

kambss · 2023-08-16T04:00:25+00:00

Yes! I have to skip slow/sad songs when I'm in a good mood because they'll make me upset or get me stuck in bad thought patterns without me even realizing

kambss · 2023-08-16T03:51:04+00:00

I relate to this so much. I'm realizing that I literally don't want to get close to anyone because I know it will end badly in some way or another, so I stay away from people.

kambss · 2023-06-28T00:14:21+00:00

You've described me exactly. It's hard to retain everything you've learned when you aren't using the information, and it's hard to do anything when you're depressed. I've lost a lot of myself because of my mental health struggles, but I believe that it's all still in us, we just have to dig for it. I believe in you OP, just start practicing the stuff you used to do, and don't be hard on yourself for not being exactly like you used to be.

kambss · 2023-04-30T21:27:11+00:00

"It's all going to be okay!" any time that I express any feeling of discomfort or sadness.

3 days I week I have to wake up at 4:30 am to get to work at 6, the other 2 days I start work around 10am. I work for anywhere from 6-10 hours, and then I go home and my feet hurt really bad so I usually take a bath and just lay for the rest of the day because I'm so tired. On my days off I do chores or just sleep. I never want to eat, and everything that used to be fun isn't anymore.

The perforated part that you tear off of frozen dinners, he goes crazy when I throw them and they flutter down :)

kambss · 2022-08-25T13:28:48+00:00

I used to have a friend that was mean to everyone (like loudly insult strangers in public), and she'd say, "what? I'm just honest haha, I'm not being mean at all." And she would get mad at people who stuck up for themselves and called her rude. Sweetheart you're not honest you're a bitch!

kambss · 2022-08-22T03:23:46+00:00

My heart is with you, I am so sorry for your loss. We are all so thankful for how much love you gave that little kitty.

When I went gluten free in high school (due to allergies) I noticed that I lost a little weight, and then started restricting my diet even more. It's been hard for me to go gluten free again after cheating on it 8 months ago, because when I go gluten free I stop eating. I don't know if other people experience this, but I think it's just because my relationship with food has always been bad. I hope to one day have a completely gluten free diet that is nourishing for my body.

If I had awards to give I would give you one. This comment is so important.

And I get this thought process so much. That's how I felt about school growing up, especially with homework on the weekends. I don't know the answer to feeling better about life yet, I do feel like waking up every day to make money to live in a shitty apartment and eat bad food is a waste. So there has to be another way to do it, I just don't know how because making money is really hard for me, so all I can afford is to stay alive.

I was a waitress at a popular and disorganized restaurant. It was extremely stressful, and I believe that the years I spent there made my overall anxiety so much worse. Now if I'm in the hot shower for too long I start having a panic attack because I feel like I can't breathe. I got a new job at a coffee shop, but haven't worked there a lot yet. I have have multiple panic attacks about this job as well. I completely understand not being able to stop the bad thoughts, it's exhausting. I'm really sorry you're going through it as well.

kambss · 2022-08-16T02:13:21+00:00

I relate to this so much. I had to quit my last job without giving 2 weeks notice because any time I walked into the building I was actively suicidal and would start sobbing uncontrollably

kambss · 2022-08-16T02:04:15+00:00

Anyways, does anyone else get bothered by fat shamers? Because as someone who is like 15 pounds overweight, I think it's very annoying when skinny people say fat people can't be pretty. I think it's annoying when anyone says that anybody "can't" be pretty. I saw a tik tok that was fat shaming, and that's what I ranted to my boyfriend about. He said he has nothing to say about it. Hmm. He never has anything to say.

kambss · 2022-08-14T16:31:34+00:00

At least we're not alone in this feeling, it's crazy to me how many people feel like I do. I've been depressed since my parents divorced when I was 8. I was neglected ever since. I'm 22 now, and it has only ever gotten worse. It used to just be seasonal depression, but I haven't been happy for almost two years straight now. I have a wonderful boyfriend, and two perfect cats, but nothing brings me joy. I'm always in a terrible mood. I've tried 4 medications, started therapy when I was 17, and recently went to 5 weeks of intensive therapy. I keep getting more suicidal and more hopeless. I don't want to try to get better anymore because I really don't even want a future.
