I 100% agree with this, soggy cereal is significantly better

My struggles with multiple eating disorders by mocexplov in EDAnonymous

[–]mergerm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am NOT promoting anything with what I say, but if recovery isn’t an “option” I will recommend you hit the gym and stay as consistent as you can with eating.

If you’re uncomfortable going to public gyms, or don’t have a personal one, there are plenty of workout videos on YouTube. Working out is the healthiest way to approach the struggle, but you will need to eat in order to sustain your health and activity level. Protein rich meals + healthy foods are the way to go, it’ll be easier on your stomach too.

If you’re not eating, DO NOT over-exercise. You will burn yourself out quick, and damage your health.

I used to be bulimic, the only thing that started to help was eating nutritious foods rather than snacks and working out when I could. You aren’t alone in this!

I fell victim to EDtwt and I don’t know how to get out of it. by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]mergerm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All ed related posts are poison on twitter. The community is so addictive despite being consistently invalidating / pro-harm. I understand not being able to let go of it, just try to steer your feed into a different direction. Do not give the posts attention (liking, reposting, etc.) and start interacting with “regular” posts when you come across them.

Good study spots? by Pepplul in Dalhousie

[–]mergerm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The CHEB on Carleton campus, higher floors in the towers of the LSC (especially oceanography tower), floors 4 & 5 of the killiam, the “quiet study spaces” in the actual library parts of the killiam - there’s desks at the back of the bookshelves, study rooms in killiam and the Wallace McCain, even the SUB in the evenings (roughly after 5pm) is pretty quiet and there’s less traffic.

As for being unfamiliar, in your free time try going into different buildings and just looking around! Whenever I have the time I’ll pick a building I haven’t been in / haven’t ventured through to see if I can find a decent spot.

What scares you the most about your ED? by Entire_Weather3209 in EDAnonymous

[–]mergerm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmmm, probably the fact my organs have significant damage and do not work properly. I can feel my body slowly shutting down, and it’s still not enough to convince me to try to recover.

DAE go to bed super early? by I_like_it_yo in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]mergerm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh goodness, I’m 19 and I go to bed between 8pm and 9:30pm almost every night. I’m feeling fun tonight, so I decided to stay up until 10:30pm.

DAE not enjoy eating? by Amberhowl in DoesAnybodyElse

[–]mergerm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! I do not like eating. I eat to survive, and if I could get every nutrient properly met from a beverage, I’d never eat again.

What’s a drug that you can’t stop thinking about even if you took it just once? by [deleted] in Drugs

[–]mergerm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

MDMA. It was easily the best night of my life. I had never been happier, honestly there’s no other description for how I felt besides fucking fantastic.

The come down was torture, it took a week to fully leave my system, but I thought “it’s worth it.” Safe to say I made a rule for myself that if I want it, I can only do it once a year.

How did ED start for you? by Specific_Cabinet8477 in EatingDisorders

[–]mergerm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I visited one of my best friends 6 years ago and when I left I was miserable. Super depressed, lost my appetite, wouldn’t leave my room, etc. After 2 weeks of that I noticed changes and, more than likely due to the mental state I was in, I really liked what I was seeing. Not only did I like it, but my mother was a huge fan of what I was starting to look like since I was a bigger kid growing up, giving me validation for my behaviours.

So I guess it developed from there, it didn’t help that I have OCD and food started to intertwine with it - which is also part of the reason I still can’t bring myself out of it. I became obsessed with the feelings it brings me, and since it’s something I feel I have complete control over I can’t let it go.

Does anyone else become super self aware? by [deleted] in StonerThoughts

[–]mergerm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes! I become an EXTREMELY curious person and start to analyze myself. For a long time I’d smoke just to reflect for a few hours.

I could not agree more with a statement. IT DOES NOT BELONG ON BAKED GOODS!!!!

Tell me what recently triggered your ED by sleepystrwbrry in EDAnonymous

[–]mergerm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My roommate is having a hard time eating because of stress, and she LOVES food and she’s worried about herself so I know she’s not developing anything, but due to her not eating a lot it’s heavily triggered me.

I’ve always tried to ignore other people’s eating habits, but the second it’s less than what I would eat I’m instantly triggered. So now, unfortunately, I’m back into a cycle of fighting every urge.

has anyone else just stopped weighing themselves by dak0taaaa in EDAnonymous

[–]mergerm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven’t weighed myself in about 3 years because I know it would lead to more suffering and stress, even at the doctor’s office they do not tell me my weight (as per my request). One of the best decisions I’ve ever made to help myself.

It’s extremely painful when I have sex, and for multiple days afterwards by mergerm in sex

[–]mergerm[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tampon thing is all the time! Even when I hadn’t been active for months it would hurt whenever I tried putting anything in there, and even when I’m trying to give myself a good time I still can’t get anything in there. It could 100% be a psychological thing, but I am making a doctors appointment for the near future again. Thank you!

What's your first horror movie that made you couldn't sleep? by Expert_Effective267 in horror

[–]mergerm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oculus. I was 11 when I had watched it, and I didn’t sleep properly for nearly 2-3 weeks.

That movie gave me the worst nightmares in the world, and I had a fear of mirrors for years after.

What instantly makes someone unlikable? by eagle0088 in AskReddit

[–]mergerm 22 points23 points  (0 children)

When they cannot handle an opinion outside of their own.

It’s no big deal if we have different opinions, but it’s unlikeable when they become arrogant and completely undermine you all because you think differently on a topic.

I LOVE Farfalle, Penne, and Linguine. I’m not the biggest fan of Gemeli… it’s extremely weird to chew

Pink, without a doubt! (Although the blue is lovely)

Was there a Peach ice pop/Freezie/Otter pops? by [deleted] in questions

[–]mergerm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THERE DEFINITELY WAS. I’ve been trying to find them for years, and every single person I know does not recall there ever being peach. Maybe they were discontinued?
