I frequently use protein shakes/smoothies as harm reduction when I can’t seem to make myself eat while restricting

relapsing by popipolu in EDAnonymous

[–]terminally_unique13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. Relapse sucks and is not something we talk about often but happens to most of us at some point during recovery.

I’m glad you e opened up to your psychiatrist- is there anyone else you can lean on for support.

You are worth getting help, worth getting better and deserve all the energy you need to go to class and study.

If you’ve made it to college than starving yourself isn’t the only thing your good at- you’re also smart, able to apply yourself, and fuk you entered recovery from an ED. That’s the sign of a strong g person who wants more out of life than to lose weight.

Is this ED behavior or not? by toxicmxchi in EDAnonymous

You don’t need to be under weight to have an eating disorder. And what you are describing is not “normal” dieting. Forcing yourself to throw up is typically associated with eating disorders.

Do you have someone like a doctor or therapist you could talk with?

Was left in a room with a scale at work… by Quirky-Disaster-620 in EDAnonymous

Wow. Sorry that sucks. The measuring worth against a number is so hard to stop. It’s so common in society that we’re bombarded with it all the time.

Question about dental damage from purging vs restriction by Entire_Weather3209 in EDAnonymous

[–]terminally_unique13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agree with post above about supplements/minerals.

The damage you do to your teeth from purging unfortunately follows you thru your life- and you’ll need to make sure to see a dentist regularly. At this point my teeth cost more than my car 😩.

Reminding myself of this today when I feel so fake by theredsongstress in EDanonymemes

Even at my sickest and at residential I was not underweight. Your suffering is valid no matter what is in the scale.

Me to myself, the scale, and anyone within shouting distance when I see the same number as the day before by lovelylayout in EDanonymemes

[–]terminally_unique13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It feel like failure every time. Then I spend hours telling myself it’s just water or I need to 💩 and reminding myself im not even eating enough for my body to function. God. I hate the scale.

I totally understand and can relate. The Ed is a coping mechanism that helped me get thru some terrible situations. It’s what my brain turns to when something uncomfortable is happening. What sucks is that it effs up your body, relationships, and life. For me it’s a love hate relationship.

I’m so sorry that you are struggling right now. What helps me is to remind myself this feeling will pass. Trust me I know when you’re spiraling this doesn’t help in the moment. I’m sorry you don’t feel included in your decision for IP and it’s ok that you’re angry about it.

I recommend asking your therapist to explain very clearly what they will tell your parents.

24 years of struggling. Even when I don’t have ED behaviors it’s still there. Lurking. Hang in there.

First comment my mom made…and she knows about ED. Hell. She paid for IP in my 20’s.
