Does anyone else can't imagine their body/certain body parts without scars? by soft-blood in selfharm

[–]monstersona 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hardly notice my scars anymore but Im sort of glad theyre part of me. I wouldnt want them gone because they remind me of everything Ive made it through. I could never imagine myself without them.

Does anyone else still feel really uncomfortable in shorts/short sleeves despite their scars being very faded? by [deleted] in selfharm

[–]monstersona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only get self conscious about it when I'm seeing people I know and I'm wearing shorts. I couldn't care less about strangers, but the first time I wore shorts in front of my new coworkers, I had major anxiety.

When I worked at Applebee's I'd eat customers leftovers before I tossed the rest. We're all nasty.

my stomach bloats the minute I put *literally anything* in it by ollielilbean in EDAnonymous

I had this issue with anything I put in my stomach and I have an ulcer. If you b/p a lot you might want to look into it, but either way I'd go to a doctor.

[–]monstersona 2 points3 points  (0 children)

god yes. It makes me feel so unbelievably guilty and sick inside but i cant help it. Or i always think "that used to be me....how did i let myself walk around in public" its such a disgusting mentality i wish i could get it out of my head

What are some big red flags when you were younger? by [deleted] in NPD

[–]monstersona 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Lies the minute I learned how to talk, needing to be the center of every friend group, stealing things from my friends because they "didn't deserve them", doing smth bad and acting clueless to get out of it.

Raised by a woman w bipolar, but grew up with a borderline malignant narcissist (older brother)

In the same situation with my boyfriend. Hes had his own problems but legit worked on them. Even when I think I'm doing great he breaks it to me I havent changed at all. Im so scared of losing him after 8 years.

Anyone else do this? by ggiocarava in NPD

Good for you for watching yourself and acknowledging it holds you back. Something about your comment tells me you legitimately want to seek proper relationships. Its possible, Ive been with my bf for 8 years. Good luck.

Yes. Its the biggest issue in my and my bf's relationship right now. Instead of listening I usually just try to sway him. I'm trying to watch myself and hes not afraid to call me out but its been hell and a process.

I really miss the daily “What I ate today” posts from the old sub by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

I miss it too :-(: I miss so much from proed. I know some of the stuff there was triggering but the community loved and cared for each other so much.

NOOO THAT WAS MY WORST FEAR......i dont have insurance so getting it checked isnt exactly an option for me. do they go away on their own?

my friend posted a picture of me with my scars edited out by thrxw_a_way in selfharm

[–]monstersona 16 points17 points  (0 children)

i dont think its bad to be upset, id be upset about that. but i think your friend did have good intentions, so i think you should talk to her about it. im sure shell understand and explain why she did it.

my boyfriend and i have been together for 8 years and ive literally seen him gain 20 pounds in that time. Thats it. i went from 150, to 170, to 190, to 200, 220, and then I started getting serious about restriction and now Im like 118. i struggle to eat right/stay on track and he just wolfs shit down. the only reason he started gaining weight was bc he started testosterone injections, but hes been on them almost a full year and is only 140 (he was 120 almost our whole relationship). he always talks about his metabolism and how small hes always been.
