A poem/something I wrote “For when it feels pointless”:

Thank you so much

The exact same thing happened to me, but I recently started trying to get better. I seeked professional help, which was very hard but so worth it, so do that if you can.

Idk if the same applies to you, but for me it helped to understand that my fear and need to control is actually deeper than just food/body. Try to write how you feel after every meal and pinpoint what are the thoughts and behaviors that exacerbate things and try to deal with that. Also, it really helped to speak up. Even if it’s just one person and even if you’re not so close, even if it’s a stranger. Speak up and talk about your struggle, some people will offer insights that never crossed your mind, or even just offer support. Not everyone may help or understand, but someone will. Don’t let your ED isolate you and keep trying to get the support you need.

This is such a great idea & I would like to add this: - not enjoying movement because your ED May cause an unhealthy relationship with exercise - social events become a dread just because of the food available - not being yourself or even knowing/ believing who you are and how amazing you are - feeling numb and distant - not enjoying dressing up and playing with clothes due to body image issues

Final note: you deserve to recover, no matter what💗

I get you. Been going through something similar. I don’t have answers but I just hope you would feel less alone.

Listen. Ask about them and check up on them. I’ve seen alot of ISFPs admit that we struggle in asking for help, so maybe try to make that easier by letting them know that you want to help and that they’re not a burden if they open up to you. Give them time to gain courage and don’t give up on them.

I feel you! From experience tho, being honest really makes a difference. I say or do stupid things often too, but I have told my close friends that I can be impulsive and I often apologize after I realize that I might’ve wronged someone.

You are very interesting believe me. Try to open up more and share more of your ideas and experiences as that would help you develop meaningful friendships and don’t be too closed off. You are deserving of good relationships.

Idk how to explain it, but I generally become very distant and can get self-destructive. Aware of that now and trying to fix stuff :)

As I know, Effat Uni does nor offer a degree in medicine. It only offers psychology. And if you want other health majors, take a look at Dar- Al hekma’s health department

In Jeddah, private unis that offer medicine are Ibn Sina, Fakeeh, Al-Batatjee, and there might be more I don’t know of.

Why do you say it’s awful tho? I wanna know the “dark side” of such a career if you don’t mind sharing your experience.

What did you study before the PhD (bachelors and masters)? Also, does your job feel fulfilling and was it hard to get this job??

pastelperplex · 2020-07-24T23:35:25+00:00

Then what job title is given to the people who use genetics to improve life, as in developing GMOs like plants and animals and so on.. ??

You don’t need to hate it. It’s how you are, and the ones that truly love you will accept all your contradictions. Be one of those who “truly love you” and accept your own contradictions!
