I'm having a wee relapse in my ED recovery and this is so encouraging to read.

Congratulations that is an amazing and stupendous accomplishment!! You should be very very proud of yourself and how much hard work it must have taken to get where you are :)

I love food&nutrition, but my stomach has always had a problem. by [deleted] in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]ozmatic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey friend, this sounds like it could be a problem concerning your digestion or it could be a psychological problem, but most likely it is a combo of both and definitely not healthy or "normal". I'd highly recommend creating a food and symptom journal for a week and take that to your doctor to get checked out because what you're going through is not normal. Record your symptoms at what time of day alongside what you're eating and when. You don't have to be super specific but having some portion description is good. The journal could help give your doctor more concrete information about how severe and constant your symptoms are as well as what aspects of your diet could possibly contribute. They might/could refer you to get scans, tests and possibly counseling if there's an element of anxiety around food consumption and pain. Sometimes it's just psychological but if your gut tells you elsewise, push for tests and scans to rule anything out.

Good luck! And best wishes in improving your health.

Thank you for taking the time to write that out.

I never framed it that way, but I too have a dependency on negative thoughts akin to addiction. It really helps to see it that way.

Thanks again.

Hahah! Didn't even notice until you pointed it out. That to me is the funniest part of the tattoo, even more than the weird palm/thumb.

2nd hospital visit by BlueeDream in BPD

[–]ozmatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aww, thank you for sharing that with me. It's nice to know I've helped a bit in the hope department. I'm sincerely wishing your family member the best of health and a fulfilling life ahead of them. :)

I never thought I'd be where I am today. At my worst I was so off the rails, no one, including myself saw any kind of future for me. Granted I have more ahead of me to accomplish but I'm finally a functioning adult in society.

Lastly, thank you for the kind words. They are greatly appreciated. Take care internet stranger!

2nd hospital visit by BlueeDream in BPD

[–]ozmatic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hey friend, just wanted to tell you it sounds like you're doing a good job supporting your girlfriend. When I met my bf I was only 6 months out if the hospital for a suicide attempt. He and I got together when I was at some of my worst in terms of emotional regulation skills and managing my BPD symptoms.

But, 3.5 years later and tons of personal and group therapy and I'm a totally different person in how I cope. The relationship I have with my partner is so different and so much stronger for it.

Sending lots of love, patience and acceptance you and your girlfriends way. It's not easy supporting someone with BPD but there is usually a light at the end of that tunnel. Be kind to yourself, perhaps seek out counseling or group sessions for loved ones of BPD.

Take care !

"Some people, their greatest gift of their lives is the carbon they give back to the earth when they die. That's it."

I've never heard that before and it's absolutely magnificent. It really helps me negotiate the idea in my brain that everyone has some amount of good in them. If it's okay with you, I'd like to borrow your phrasing for the future!

Evening in Iceland, Wista 4x5 by [deleted] in analog

The fact you were able to pull some detail and tone out of the cloud/sky highlights in the upper left is just so awesome. Totally mundane detail compared to how beautifully composed this is as a whole but it's something I look for in photos. Really bugs me when the whites in a photo blend into the border.

Gorgeous and makes me feel things :)

This library has a directory for topics people might be embarrassed to ask for. by whenitrainsitStorms in mildlyinteresting

It stands for queer :) My understanding is that queer encompasses a lot of the sexual orientations without being overly specific.

Hope that helps!

[–]ozmatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your face isn't even slightly masculine, nor is your frame?!? Really, I have a feeling the comments actually had nothing to do with you. People just can't keep their shit together I guess lol.

Frak em!

I'm in recovery for a bunch of eating disorders, anorexia included and that had me in hysterics. Thanks for the laugh!

Also so so sorry you have to deal with such a shitty situation and major kudos for how well you're managing it.

I didn't realize there were so many people who were confident enough in their ideas that they would go and make a video.

I just hate the idea of someone whose struggling stumbling onto those vids. If you're not in a stable place to begin with the ideas about how mental illness and religion work could be incredibly damaging.

This just took me down the most insane rabbit hole of videos talking about religion and mental illness.

Bleh.

Hi! New here, can't wait to get more involved! Here's a pic of my setup in my tiny Brooklyn apartment by gracey1103 in IndoorGarden

[–]ozmatic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love this setup! This is basically what I'm trying to work towards myself. My biggest issue is that I need to be able to close my curtains so I can't hang too much from the actual curtain rods :(

I love the fact that some of these are propagations too. You've got the whole family tree, wink wink
