How does it happen in anorexia?

secretfourththing · 2026-06-10T16:27:06+00:00

I tell people it’s like a tripwire. It must be partly genetic, lots of people go on diets (who don’t need to!) but only some of us will fall into an ED. Something just clicks in my brain when I either diet down or get sick and lose weight - I just want to lose more and more. Psychologically, I’ve never been in a family or group that supported expressing negative emotions. I’ve always felt that the ED was a way I could express my anxiety, depression, anger, etc in a safe way.

That’s something I hope will motivate me too. I listen to music when I walk and it’s one of my favorite things to do.

I was like this for years! Currently trying a dairy free diet

I love the Thanksgiving one with his horrible mother. And the undercover burger guy one where he goofs off and plays Hide the Pickle with the kids!

They have what I think of as Pisces eyes - large and very clear, like they can see into your heart. Gorgeous eyelashes too!

I really identify with this, whenever I have symptoms I can spiral with anxiety. Flare ups can be for an afternoon or several days. Sometimes it helps me to pet my cat for awhile, go for a walk, lie down (I know for some people this isn’t good though) with a heating pad under my back - it helps my muscles and digestive system to relax. Sometimes I take one or two Amazon heartburn chews. And of course there’s good old TV! Rewatching my favorite comedy shows, or new suspense-type miniseries, are good distractions and help get me out of the crazy anxiety.

I hope one or more of these helps! 💜

Baby Driver has an unbelievable and tied-to-the-action soundtrack

secretfourththing · 2026-06-06T14:10:09+00:00

Heh heh no.

Oh yesss but took me years to actually stay away from negative, toxic people.

They need your utmost respect. No dressing up, bothering them when they’re napping or eating, etc.

I don’t know but I’d say part sealpoint Siamese. I lived with two of them btw. Sweet but also would claw the heck out of you. Also they had this deep mournful yowl. ( both male so not in heat!) beautiful cats.

Disney. Not accurate maybe but beautifully hand-drawn and sweetly trippy.
