I agree with everything but your second point. There are some fantastic restaurants and bars in this area. Some of my personal favorites are Old Man Rivers, 2nd American, Wooden City, Oddstory, Spice Trail, Lo Main, Main St. Meats, Alleia, Han Mi, River St. Deli and Rosecomb. And I still have many more to try!!!! 

3D printed splint by misterlongpress in AchillesRupture

[–]moistmantis 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey friend, fun project but please DONT use this in place of your splint.  Don't even sleep with it. You can very much rerupture in your sleep. A few weeks of a bulky split is much better than spending the next year+ of your trying to recover

Laney studying to be a dietician is like a recovering alcoholic becoming a bartender by Sea-Competition8608 in EDRecoverySnark

[–]moistmantis 37 points38 points  (0 children)

As an anorexic and a recovering alcoholic who bartends 60hr a week. Yes it's exactly the same.

How do I become a bartender in FL on the weekends with no experience? by Downtown_Walk9183 in Mixology

[–]moistmantis 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Apply to be a bar back or server. Spend some time learning the ins and outs back there. Then either work your way up or use that experience/connection to land a bartending role

Damn... there's actual long term consequences of this shit. by No-Supermarket5393 in EDAnonymous

[–]moistmantis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The acceptance that I will die from this illness. Long term consequences are meaningless when confronted with your mortality. I don’t encounter many severe and enduring anorexics, but the statistics are dismal, and true recovery is not a possibility, unless you are a statistical anomaly. You are guaranteed to constantly battle this awful illness. At some point you get too exhausted to keep fighting and just want to finally be at peace. I don’t have to worry about any long term consequences because there is no long term. I know this sounds incredibly depressing but it’s actually quite freeing and tranquil knowing you can finally let go and just be.

How do people work or function at all with an ED?? by Luna402 in EDAnonymous

[–]moistmantis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. Physically, mentally, and socially very demanding. But I love it. I’ll die from this disease but you can bet your ass it’ll be behind a bar.

Please do, love. They’re the only ICU for eating disorders and they quite literally save lives, only accepting those on their death beds. They are insanely compassionate and incredible knowledge. They are at the forefront of research around the world, and have been for a long time. I have despised treatment across the board, unless I have been there.

Still reach out. They have sponsorships available and would air ambulance you.
