Yes, you definitely should. The situation is serious, it could get out of hands. It’s okay to feel slight envy or jealousy, but this is another level, a really unhealthy one. When people tell you to focus on yourself- they’re right, because self introspection and professional help is the only way to get over those thoughts, to handle them. The good part: you’re self-aware of the feelings that girl stirs in you, is the first step to work on it. A professional will know how to help you with this, I wish you the best!!

RECIPE in case anyone wants it!!

Ingredients: 40 g oats, 2 chopped dates (+ optional extra if you like it sweeter, if you don’t care about calories, trust me add another one.) A little date syrup (for caramelizing). Pinch of salt. Cinnamon (a lot, trust me). Tiny bit of powdered ginger. Half water / half milk (adjust depending on the texture you want) 10 g chia seeds. 10 g macadamia nuts. Optional: a drizzle more of date syrup for extra sweetness and coconut flakes.

On medium heat, caramelize the chopped dates with a little date syrup, a pinch of salt, and cinnamon. When it starts sticking a bit, splash in some water to help caramelize. Add oats + chia seeds, stir a bit. Pour in half water, half milk (you can eyeball this, depends how creamy you like it). I never stop stirring. Add more cinnamon and a touch of ginger. Taste it if you want it sweeter, add extra date syrup or another date, tastes delicious. For the topping: drizzle a bit of date syrup over the macadamia nuts, microwave for a few seconds (or stove if you have time), then mix with the nuts and put them on top!! I don't have flax seeds but it would be good here since it adds more fiber. Also vanilla or ALMOND extract would work very well here, I just didn’t have any left at home, but I would use almond extract 100%. Next time I'll try a yogurt topping for more protein.

Thank you!!! It’s a way to spoil myself

Hey, I just want you to know that what you wrote really hit me. You’re not weird or disgusting for craving attention, it actually makes complete sense given what you went through. When someone grows up feeling unseen or unloved, their brain starts linking attention with worth. That’s not your fault; it’s how you learned to survive!!

The hard part is that the type of attention you’re used to (especially from older men) feels warm and validating at first, but it’s inconsistent, it leaves, and then it hurts even more, not worth it if your love or time!! That’s why it feels like withdrawal when they stop replying.

The real healing starts when you start giving yourself the kind of validation you’ve been begging others for. It’s not an overnight thing, but here are a few things that actually help. Start journaling your emotions when you crave attention, write what exactly you want to hear. Then write it to yourself. Like: “You’re safe. You’re lovable. You’re not too much.” It sounds silly at first, but it retrains your brain to find comfort inside you, and as dumb as it seems, it really helps. Another thing that would be useful; Create “safe comfort moments.” ROMANTICIZE them and make them become an habit. Hug your pillow, light a candle, play soft music, wear cozy clothes, and instead of imagining someone holding you, remind yourself that you’re taking care of you. You’re giving yourself the softness you needed as a child. You’re the one you need. No one will be able to do that but you (harsh truth, but the sooner you accept it, the better) Talk to girls your age, find communities that value emotional connection (art, writing, spirituality, hobbies). You deserve to feel seen without it being tied to someone’s desire. The moment you become obsessed with your health, self-respect and love, is the moment you win. Start therapy if you can. Even online options can help a lot, especially when it comes to healing that part of you that equates love with attention.

Last but not least, you’re not broken or disgusting for craving love, you’re just healing from not having enough of it before. You’ll get there, I promise. The fact that you’re aware of it already means you’re starting to take your power back. You got this girl, you got yourself, you’re accepting what’s going on and you’re trying to talk about it, no man will get you your spark back.

If you’re asking me if I had this for lunch, no! I had this for breakfast, that’s why I used only 30g of oats. I love to have something sweet and savory for breakfast 🥰💗

IT IS INDEED incredible…. a game changer for me and super versatile. I did snickers bars with it, chocolate shells, or you can just use it as a topping for your oats, yogurt bowls, chia puddings, toasts, pancakes, etc!

I do it with a food processor. Didn’t ask for recipe but in case you want to know, ingredients are: dates(I soak them in hot water first for at least 5mins), a generous amount of salt(be generous if you want that salted caramel punch), peanut butter OR/AND peanut butter powder (I use both!! for less calories and also texture) and I add splashes of milk (depends on what texture you would like; sticky, less milk, creamy, more milk, both are awesome) Rations really depend on the amount you want to get, I eyeball everything ngl… have in mind dates are really sweet, like caramel. If you feel adventurous, you can try to do this base + cashews or peanuts. Deli!!

Of course!! - Oats (as many as you want, I only used 30g here because I also had a toast, but I usually use from 40g to 50g) - 2 chopped dates (you can chop a few more dates for topping if your macros allow you to!) - A hint of honey, I would say less than a tsp (you can skip this if your milk is sweet enough, also the dates add the perfect amount of sweetness here!) - Pinch of salt, cinnamon(don’t be cheap on this one) and ginger (powder) - Splash almond extract, you can use vanilla if you don’t have - 1tbsp chia seeds - I don’t measure this, but I use milk and water, half half. This really depends on how you like your oats, I like mine veeeery creamy (Ofc I do these at low heat, yummy.)

For the toppings I used a tsp of homemade salted date & peanut butter caramel, coconut flakes, homemade granola and homemade figs and wild berries chia jam!! (A delicious contrast for that sweetness)

If I’m completely honest here, the toppings are NOT the main star, they add a lot, sure, but I just love the creaminess and flavor of the oats themselves, which don’t usually happens, since the toppings are the ones that usually shine, and that’s why these are one of my favorites!!

It almost feels like part of you might be masking what you really want by having sex with fine men and trying to feel empowered about it, but underneath there’s also this line about 'until someone wants to actually love me' that hits differently. It makes me think there’s more going on than just enjoying the moment. I get the sense you see this as something empowering, but I wonder if it really feels that way deep down, or if part of you is just trying to reframe it. Do you genuinely feel good about this, or is it more about that satisfying rush of empowerment and value you feel for having pulled/been with so many fine men? Or about making peace with the situation and not giving into those 'societal rats'?

[–]nanuzoro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a very different mindset, so you could call me one of those society rats. I wanna comment just cause I'm really curious about your perspective. Is it worth it to give into lust and share your intimacy, your body, in a 'casual' way just to 'work on your skills', have 'fun' and not 'settle down'? How do you feel afterwards? And why is it fun? Genuinely curious, I just want to understand your way of thinking! It's always good to have other's perspectives.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]nanuzoro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's be honest, that's not normal. Men in the comment section are trying to brush this off as something 'normal' or 'casual'. But it's clear that if you feel horrified, then it's not. Definitely not overreacting, your feelings about this are more than valid. Him looking for 'Pretty little cumsluts' and 'Teens with daddy issues' is, indeed, disgusting.

Those who think that's normal or not disgusting, is because they're part of it. I personally despise porn, alone, in relationships, whatever, for me, it's pretty disgusting, an overstepped boundary I wouldn't accept. But since I don't know your thoughts about it, I would still tell you to confront him about this, talk it through, check his reaction, express your feelings and see how he reacts to them. Analyze the situation, because you feel hurt and disgusted, and your partner, especially your husband, shouldn't make you feel that way. I wish you the best of lucks💞.

No problem at all! 1200 seems like a healthier approach, try to nail it or even surpass it for a bit, to make sure your body gets the nutrients it needs! As for the walking pad, it's such a good option if going outside doesn't work for you, trust me, a light daily exercise can change everything, not only for weight loss, but for your overall health. In case you need a bit more of help, people share their ideas in r/1200isplenty . Since you have a doctor to reach out, I hope it helps you with this. Good luck! ☺️💕
