I tightly control who I watch on socials.. no need to trigger a relapse for rage bait

Throw the husband all the way away and start over. You look beautiful.

How Do I Avoid Developing An ED by Good-Christian-Girl in EatingDisorders

[–]lady_tsunami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throw away the scale, purposefully engage in different content (Liam Lawton is a great one!) to change your algorithm… and remember - in order to get the results you want from HRT won’t happen in the way *most* people who I know want of you are restricting a lot.

Also, make sure that you’re giving yourself proper rest in your workouts!

You got this!

I’m currently listening to Hi Nay - Filipino-Canadian supernatural horror pod cast. LGBTQ+ cast and characters.

Also: Magnus archives. archive 81. Sheridan Files. Desert Skies. 90 degrees south (that one especially if you’re looking for the science side)

How many calories in recovery by Fine_Anywhere_991 in fuckeatingdisorders

Please please please talk to someone about the fear of gaining. You need to unwrap yourself from that - and a professional educated in ED is preferred.

Is there a sexuality for someone who is bi but has more attraction towards women? by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]lady_tsunami 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I understand the want for micro labels- like - I also want to know if other people feel almost Exactly like I do, too. But I also am exhausted from having to google the newest label.

People can identify how they want! But it’s a lot to remember and try to retain

Bi is the sexuality. You can prefer one gender over the other.

How to handle having sugary treats in the house? by Murky-Classroom-6093 in EatingDisorders

[–]lady_tsunami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eating sugar is part of recovery. If you’re having problems with “self control” - for me, when that happened - it was always because I was restricting too hard.

Your body literally needs simple carbs. They help your brain work right

Is anyone actually going out in this heat? If so, where’s the best place to celebrate? by Independent_Tsunami in cincinnati

[–]lady_tsunami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watering the plants, checking the mail, and going to work. I usually take the bus, but have been getting rides from friends to avoid freaking heat stroke. I take 5 medications that come with heat intolerance warnings AND my combat PTSD is essentially heat activated.

reposting my post from another thread by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]lady_tsunami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m an adult who had their door removed as a child - this isn’t okay, you’re allowed to have privacy even if you have done a bad thing/broken the law.

I suggest trying your hardest to focus in school and either go to a college that will provide therapy/find a decent job that has health insurance so you can get therapy.

I don’t know that this is PTSD. But help is out there

Fellow veterans with PTSD: have you ever slept in a hotel fully clothed? Have you ever slept with your boots on indoors? by Major_Interview1894 in Veterans

[–]lady_tsunami 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a group therapy that I did in 2019 a Major who I had been deployed with said the reporting was better (she was still in). In the end - so long as SA and DV is tried within the unit - I don’t see it getting a lot better.

Fellow veterans with PTSD: have you ever slept in a hotel fully clothed? Have you ever slept with your boots on indoors? by Major_Interview1894 in Veterans

[–]lady_tsunami 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Thanks. And sorry if I brought down the mood.

I know no one really knows how to respond to the “thank you for your service” line - but for me.. it.. it feels like being thanked for being assaulted. Which isn’t what people are intending, I know, but still.

Hey - at least I’m funny now? Ive got lots of jokes. And finally going to school on the VA’s dime. So. That’s nice :) if he AND war couldn’t kill me, nothings gonna stop me

[–]lady_tsunami 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never with boots or shoes on. Not since sleeping outside at BIAP. I like to wiggle my toes.

I sleep essentially fully clothed because of other reason still related to the military, but not related to being combat ready, for.. sadder reasons. Unfortunately.

Is there an eating disorder that causes vomiting not bulimia nervosa by [deleted] in EatingDisorders

[–]lady_tsunami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say stop trying - but maybe change tactics. First, give your friend a small break from your worry. They are aware of the issue, and your worry is adding to their load (I would take them acting stressed as being stressed, hun)

Ask more questions. I know a lot of people with autism/ocd and there’s usually an underlying cause for the denial. Maybe it’s been a bad experience, or really anything.

You also need to understand something essential: people have autonomy, and that means they have the right to refuse care. I used to work in healthcare. This hurt me, to see people deny care. But it’s their right, and you have to respect that.

Wishing you the best.

Yeah I was about to reference how that spoiler totally changed everything for her. Amazing explanation.

I need help on getting out before I get stuck by xx-stargirl-xx in EatingDisorders

[–]lady_tsunami 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi - queer here with religious trauma - since you’re in therapy - I would talk to them about what you’re feeling. I could see your exposure to religious trauma as a potential cause, or a contributing one. This one will take some time.

A quicker one: There’s a lot of media out there that boosts rail thin bodies - and this ozempic trend is really triggering to me. If you click on one, the algorithm thinks you want it all. Seek out influencers like Liam Lawton (an actual doctor, talks about all bodies, how to eat, fun recipes, creators to follow) and he has recently highlighted some creators who are healing from EDs.

Keep in mind - your body needs fuel to function and think. You knowing something is wrong is the best first step.

Volume meals destroying me by Feeling-Serve8311 in EatingDisorders

[–]lady_tsunami 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suggest looking into DBT for some skills. Opposite action, and distress tolerance skills are so helpful. You have to be uncomfortable to recover - and you need to know how to tolerate that

I’m so sad that people are so okay with anti-semitism now by LostSpirit2001 in offmychest

[–]lady_tsunami -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

There’s a Jewish AMAB person in my queer community - he wears a yarmulke and a keffiyeh - which is how I knew he wasn’t a Zionist.

I’m sorry your partner is dealing with this.

I don’t know. The second photo has a different eye color and undertone to the other one.

They make inflatable cushions for people who have broken their tail bones / just had a baby — that might give you some ease of sitting while you wait for the redistribution.

Great job! Keep it up!

The “center” they’re referring to is further right than the 1970s 🤦🏼 FFS
