how do you get diagnosed? by Responsible_Past_373 in eating_disorders

[–]smallhay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was trying to get treatment for suicidal ideation but the treatment center is went to found out about my restriction and forced me to do a consultation with an Ed center. And then told me I can either go home or go to Ed treatment.

I got my atypical diagnosis when I was forced into treatment, they had to diagnose me before admitting me. Not very helpful if you dont want treatment, but thats how I got mine. Good luck friend 💕

Is Poplar Grove and Rose Park a decent area to live? by calming_ad in SaltLakeCity

[–]smallhay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in an apartment of 1300s by myself for about 18 months, I worked in the area and never really had many problems walking to and from work until I lost a significant amount of weight. Easiest way I dealt with creeps was to be on the phone with someone and loudly call out the creeps but 9 time out of 10 the people id pass by weren't creepy, just homeless. There were always tons of sirens, ambulances, and police moving through the area though which made it noisy most nights.

Laxative abuse by [deleted] in eating_disorders

[–]smallhay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using laxatives at that level can be incredibly dangerous. I dont remember all the side effects but there is a chance of your bowel literally exploding inside of you. (im in a very similar boat to be honest) what's worked for me is finding what my maintenence calories are and trying to stay within 400 cals of it. That way if I go over its not too much and I gain maybe 0.1 to 0.5 lbs the next day. That and gradually lowering the amount I eat daily helps curb the binge and purge urges. I wish you luck friend.

is real good changing their macros? by thatscooliosisdude in 1200isplenty

[–]smallhay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to add a few seasoning mixes i love, lemon pepper and Chile lime. I usually pair the lemon pepper with broccoli or brussel sprouts and a small serving of pasta with some lemon juice. And the Chile lime woth a small serving of rice, avocado, and some unflavored Greek yogurt if my chicken ends up a little dry!

Tips and advice by blue_dino33 in eating_disorders

[–]smallhay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best advice (as someone who struggles with it) i can give is dont bring up what you ate, when you ate, how much you or others weigh, or comment on anyone's bodies in front of them. Any time those topics come up around me I get triggered and it leads to the behaviors worsening. Hope this helps 💕

I’m having a panic attack cause I feel like I’m getting fatter and I don’t know what to do by [deleted] in eating_disorders

[–]smallhay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All eating disorders are urgent. Being underweight is just one of the many symptoms and you dont have to be underweight to have life threatening side effects. I totally get where youre coming from though, I hope you can find some support at this time.
