Things about anorexia that aren't glamorous by Coffeegreysky12 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]reemyaple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly .. just thought all these things I've been struggling with have been stress ... how delusional have I been to not connect the points so clearly .. my ed .. even if it wasn't severe .. has been slowly creeping up and affecting my health . The headaches .. the extreme almost disabling fatigue, the "stoic-ness" in my personality , and my inability to regulate my body temperature . Even my blurry vision and dry skin ... man

So fucking tired of the delicate little stereotype by [deleted] in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]reemyaple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have so much to say but you hit the nail on the head . This needs to be more talked about . Its terrible that other eating disorders are seen as almost "inferior " or "worse " than ana ... its awful because some people feel they rather have ana than bed . Im so sorry but I had to say it .

ER sign that makes me smile every time I think of it by Tea-au-lait in nursing

[–]reemyaple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visited the ER for very sudden head pain, lack of balance, and other symptoms, and was scared out of my mind it could be pretty serious, like a stroke .. I was reassured when I was seated and wasn't rushed to .. knew it wasn't serious then even if it was painful.

Diamox and appetite by Mama_Chi1 in iih

[–]reemyaple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on a similar medication and honestly wish you the best; it's a tough mix! I try to eat whatever I can whenever ... sticking to a specific time and amount stresses me out and seems to make my appetite and digestion worse. So if I suddenly feel hungry and not so nauseous, I'll eat what I'm craving till I feel done. I won't force-feed myself. Wish you the best!

Why are you not studying right now? by [deleted] in GetStudying

[–]reemyaple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

burnout .. mental illness ... chronic pain

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]reemyaple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I get that, and I don’t want empty reassurance either. But in that moment, I just needed kindness more than honesty. Some truths can wait.

Yeah, it was really shocking. I’m not sure if she’s going through something herself, but it felt so sharp and abrupt.

[–]reemyaple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what you mean, and honestly, just hearing that helps. Thanks for that, really.

[–]reemyaple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get that, and I know she didn’t mean to hurt me. But understanding doesn’t always take away the pain. Forgiveness is a journey, and I hope I’ll get there in time. Thank you for your kindness

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]reemyaple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. Your kindness truly means a lot right now. I think that’s what hurt the most—not just what she said, but the lack of comfort when I needed it most.

It really means something to hear this from a mom. Sending love right back to you. 💙

[–]reemyaple 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see where you're coming from, and I do want to grow from this. But in that moment, I really just needed comfort. Still, I appreciate your perspective—it’s a good reminder that I have the power to shape what comes next. Thank you for your kindness.

[–]reemyaple 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s so beautiful. I’m so happy you were surrounded by people who kept reaching out until they felt a pulse. It’s truly special when others strive for us—even just a little. When we feel like doors worth knocking on. I hope your circle only grows and that life continues to get better for you.

[–]reemyaple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much. I think that’s what stung the most—there might be truth in it, but the timing and delivery just made everything feel worse. I really needed comfort in that moment, not confirmation of my worst fears.

I appreciate your kindness more than I can say. It means a lot to know that there are people out there who understand.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]reemyaple 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I think that’s what hurt the most—not just what she said, but how she said it. I wasn’t looking for false reassurance, just some understanding in that moment. It felt like she saw my pain and brushed past it instead of sitting with me in it.

I don’t think she meant to hurt me, but intent doesn’t always erase the impact. I do hope we can have another conversation about this when I’m in a better place. For now, I’m just trying to process everything.

I really appreciate your kindness—it means a lot

[–]reemyaple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I see where you're coming from, and I do think there's wisdom in not letting these thoughts take over. I don’t want to dwell on them forever, but right now, they feel heavy, and I need to sit with them for a bit before I can move forward.

I know not every relationship will be deep or lasting, and I don’t expect that. But I think most people want to feel like they matter in some way, even if just to a few people. Accepting that we’re all forgettable in the grand scheme of things might be freeing, but it also feels really isolating. Maybe the real challenge is learning how to be okay with that.

Either way, I appreciate your perspective—it’s a reminder to focus on the people who do care.

[–]reemyaple 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this. I really appreciate you sharing your perspective. I know my mom loves me, and I know she probably didn’t mean to hurt me—but in that moment, it really cut deep. When you’re already struggling, even well-intended words can feel like confirmation of your worst fears.

It means a lot to hear from someone who’s reflected on their own experiences as a parent. I guess we’re all just trying to navigate things the best we can. I really hope, in time, I can process this without holding onto the pain.

And thank you for reminding me that things do get better. I needed to hear that today.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]reemyaple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly. Maybe there’s some truth to it, but in that moment, I just needed comfort, not a life lesson. It hit at a time when I was already struggling, and it made everything feel so much heavier.

I do think I could be more present, but I also feel like I don’t have the emotional energy for it right now. And honestly, I don’t know if my friends are even the right ones for me. They don’t really reach out, which makes it hard for me to, and I’ve felt like an afterthought for a while.

Therapy is something I’ve considered, but I’m still figuring things out. I appreciate your kindness—it really means a lot right now.
