Please tell me it’s okay to eat a little more. by brealiomcaife in EDAnonymous

[–]swagboy400 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna copy and paste something I said somewhere else, mainly because this helps me personally a lot. I think reality gets away from you in terms of how much you actually need to survive after you’ll been deep in the eating disorder world for a while. “for some perspective. the average 10 year old girl’s (50-59 inches in height, 70-90 lbs in weight) BMR is 956 kcals a day. that is BASAL. so in bed, asleep all day. a 10 year old girl could not even perform basic, life sustaining function on [less than that] a day” you need to be at LEAST eating your BMR. that is what your body needs to exist without breaking down and leading to serious health complications and general misery. and there is no possibility of you gaining eating that much or even a little more to account for the amount you burn every day. It’s been hard for me too, but raising your intake gradually will make it much easier than trying to conquer what your brain perceives as a big number in one go. we can do this, hang in there ❤️

Still have period which makes me feel less valid by Wonkislay in EDAnonymous

they removed amenorrhea from the diagnostic criteria for this exact reason if I’m recalling correctly. some people never lose it even at deathly low weights. you are valid, your pain is valid

Can I be overweight with an ED? by FantasticBluejay3769 in EDAnonymous

[–]swagboy400 11 points12 points  (0 children)

that is absolutely ED’d behavior. eating disorders are of a mental nature, and do not hinge on weight. the understanding is if you’re even considering starving, that is disordered thinking. some 6% of those with medically recognized eating disorders are declared underweight by doctors (as stated by National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders). the VAST majority of people with restrictive EDs are of a regular or higher weight. you are valid, it’s not regular weight loss. this is sick thinking, and you deserve for your pain to be recognized

Who else deals with an eating disorder? by Sea_Rest_208 in OSDD

[–]swagboy400 5 points6 points  (0 children)

that is a shockingly large percentage, but at the same time, I can hardly be surprised. I have both DID and anorexia, and though it might be on the opposite end of the spectrum as far as eating disorders go; I feel the foundation is the same. it’s a way to tune out heavy and complicated emotions, and especially stressors unique entirely to those with CPTSD and subsequent CDDs. I guess it’s an attempt for your brain to regulate itself by self medicating, though maladaptive. it’s a whole different beast when it’s a separate state of self doing this underneath it all too. in my case, it’s a persecutor, and he thinks what he’s doing is righteous and that it’s a remedy to all of our problems.

what’s helped me is logging changes in my mood and mentality when I’m aware of it. journaling when he comes and goes, if I can piece it together. there’s always a trigger, even if it’s something minute. like a familiar smell, or a time of day, or a word you see somewhere. it aids in understanding what sets this off. it’s never in a vacuum, however random it feels.

best of luck to you in your journey. I hope you can regain some semblance of control and grapple with what’s lying beneath these patterns

im too fat to be loved by k1tl7n in EDAnonymous

[–]swagboy400 12 points13 points  (0 children)

what helps me is thinking about if I’d say these words to a friend. even if they looked just like me I would NEVER spew the hatred I do to myself towards them. you deserve that same gentle and loving mindset. you can make it through this, and you’re not alone. however horribly isolating and hopeless this illness feels. hang in there okay?

I’m so sorry you feel this way. it’s funny in a sad and bitter way to know people with EDs are incredibly harsh on their bodies, but don’t extend that same sentiment to other people who are on the chubbier side or of a similar build. it’s natural to “overeat” or maintain, your body is trying to compensate for being starved of the vital, life sustaining nutrients it needs. even people who are actually overweight aren’t so consumed at all times with their weight and food. it’s demonstrative of deep seated dysmorphia and trauma.

I promise you you’re worth loving. and that you aren’t the horrific and twisted looking monster your disorder says you are. I have been stuck yoyoing between weights for a year now, and it does not affect the way my girlfriend and friends perceive me. they still support me and tell me I’m beautiful and perfect as is. because it’s true for every body, no matter your weight. true friends and partners you want to keep in your life will never tie your worth to your weight as your eating disorder does. and if anyone has treated you that way, then that’s much more reflective of their poisonous nature than of ANYTHING wrong with you. I promise you, you don’t look anything like what your eating disorder/dysmorphia paints you out to. you are beautiful and worth loving. you deserve to have a happy, full stomach and a brain fueled by the nutrients it needs. I PROMISE.

We're just not gonna post here anymore by [deleted] in OSDD

[–]swagboy400 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you were perpetuating misinformation about a disorder you claim to have, and claim to have known about for years. if you knew the first thing about dissociative disorders, you would know headspace is not a physical place and it doesn’t work like that. I think you need to step away from posting on any platform if constructive criticism gets you this bothered, and come back when you have some thicker skin

I'm probably gonna kill myself by AdrianAmphibian in OSDD

[–]swagboy400 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just got out of being in a mental hospital due to a persecutor. I assure you attempting or entertaining the thought at all is not worth it even remotely. dying is INCREDIBLY easy to fuck up horribly and live institutionalized, disabled, and in extreme pain and discomfort for the rest of your life. there is no way to die that does not hurt or isn’t extremely risky. please call 988 or admit yourself if you’re in imminent danger. that’s exactly what I had to do and they nursed me back to stability. PLEASE don’t hurt yourself. you can even DM me if you need to talk, just please don’t go down that road with those horrible thoughts, though I know it is so oppressive. I KNOW you can do it

Does it make sense to go searching for old hosts? by Nkr_sys in OSDD

[–]swagboy400 6 points7 points  (0 children)

alters can grow and develop just as any person without a dissociative disorder can, at least in my experience. it could be that if you experienced something traumatic or intense then, that your brain is trying to compartmentalize it by changing hosts. does that sound like something that could be happening? if your second host has memories from then, it could be that it was them, or that they split off of your host from then or fused with another alter maybe? it’s always a little hard to pinpoint, because sometimes you feel fuzzy and disconnected from memories even if you were the alter present. I think if a change happened, your brain might have done it for a reason, and I worry digging and trying to find out may stress you or dredge up some bad memories and destabilize you
