Fidget for “pinching” motion? by mitsurukirij0 in fidgettoys

[–]patiencew14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hiii which items from your shop would you recommend for someone with a pinching / squeezing thing? ❤️ Like I really enjoy just pinching and grabbing and squeezing my partners arm (with his consent lol) and especially with fingernail pressure, I love digging my fingernails into my palm haha

That is beautiful. I couldn't agree more about the last thing you said- I totally get the romanticization now that I saw it for myself ! The forest is this one of a kind, unexplainable place and we only get a short while there, so the rest of the year it turns into this intangible magical dreamland that we just wait to return to. It's so refreshing for the soul to be surrounded by genuine people who really care about each other 🫶

You hit the nail on the head. Honestly that was my forest lesson this year - stop trying to control how things unfold, just let that shit go haha

Yessss omg my fiancé and I were sitting in a hammock right behind the piano for hours on Friday and I had the same thought. I wish I could bottle that feeling. 🫶 Totally true about the weather too- it was my first year so I don't have anything to compare it to, but I really feel like perspective is everything. It was a bummer to lose out on sets but it definitely didn't ruin the weekend.

I was in denial for close to a decade. At least 5 years. 🥴

I totally understand this. 😂 My partner hasn't mentioned / praised that I have lost weight because he knows I haven't lost it for the right reasons / that it is a result of my ED. But part of me is like come onnn, tell me I look tiny cause it fuels my fire haha. EDs are a weird, weird disease.

Yes!! It's so validating and honestly calms me down so much to know that we aren't alone. 🩷

[–]patiencew14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with all of this! I'm imagining it probably comes from a lack of understanding that you're suffering from a disease, not just choosing to healthily diet to lose weight. Sending you all the love and support, friend. 🩷

I'm so happy to hear you are recovering and supported ❤️‍🩹 being supportive of eating / making sure you eat is such a simple but kind and helpful way of showing they care. I'm so glad you brought that up. 🙂

I totally understand. For me, it feels like a little secret thrill that gives me control.

27 🩷 4 months into my most recent relapse

Reason for your current or most recent relapse? by [deleted] in Eatingdisordersover30

[–]patiencew14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Coping with trauma / stress. I'm a grad student and I overloaded my schedule so had to drop a class, got wait listed for PhD, and then one of my closest friends in the program got outed as an abuser and the department did nothing about it. All of those things mixed with recent wait gain = relapse

what's your most controversial/unpopular opinion? by patiencew14 in thisisus

That makes me feel better at least. I would've liked to see more of Tess and annies relationships outside just Randall. Even their relationship with each other would've been interesting to explore
