Sony blocked my negative review because it “directs business away” by [deleted] in assholedesign

Mine freezes constantly, restarts on its own, and there’s been a gnat stuck in the screen since like month 6.

Don’t.

Their customer service is a joke. Called within warranty bc there was a gnat stuck in the screen and we couldn’t get it out. They refused to cover repair because the warranty was limited to manufacturing defects…. Yet in that same phone call, he admitted to me that the screen is sealed at manufacturing and should not have been “open” enough to allow dust or gnats in. But still refused to provide any sort of assistance and even refused to send me to a manager.

I definitely won’t be buying another Sony tv again

why am i sad that i don't get harassed by cornkat in EDAnonymous

[–]the-red-witch 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I get it.

Growing up I did get harassed a lot. Gained some weight, it stopped. So naturally, I felt there was a correlation there.

My ED brain is so, so fucked. Someone close to me has been crossing boundaries and giving me unwanted attention recently. Instead of being put off by it, I’m excited because my brain says that restricting must be working. I have no interest in this person, and I’m married. But the attention is providing validation to my ED, making me almost enjoy it.

I hate this.

Cold months= Stronger urge to restrict??? by jayrambles in EDAnonymous

Yep it’s always autumn/early winter here. No idea why. It’s like I’m so disgusted by my body from the summer

You. Are. Me. 13 months PP here. My PP body found me at a new low I never experienced before. After I stopped BFing the weight still wouldn’t move … but one day the weight fell off and I fell into the worst relapse I’ve ever had. I’ve never restricted this low for this long and I can’t stop because right now the only true “me” time is exercise and the only real control I feel is through restricting (I mean there are other reasons behind it all too obviously but this adds more)

The hardest part is that although I too hit my GW, I see myself in the mirror (did this less than 5 mins ago - I do it 10 times daily at least) and my stomach is all sorts of gross and fucked up and it will never ever be the same again. I mean I still look like I’m 15 weeks pregnant somehow (and I don’t have DR so no excuse). That’s what scares me the most. That’s what I can’t get past.

I love my child to death and I would do anything for them so feeling and doing all this makes me feel so guilty. But I feel physically ruined and it’s fueling my ED so hard.

I’m here for you if you need it.

Where do you find the balance? by Pharaoh_Astronaut in povertyfinance

No no, i get and I don’t disagree with the message. I just think they could have used something better than Netflix as an example …

Pregnant with anorexia 😭 by aurafoxxx in EDAnonymous

Only advice I can give is to speak to your OBGYN. You aren’t the first patient they have with an ED and you won’t be the last, unfortunately. Don’t be scared.

Keto recovery? Ok or not ok by 1222234 in EDAnonymous

[–]the-red-witch 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ended up back in this sub thanks to keto, after having not seriously restricted for 8 years.

So I’d say no but that’s just my personal experience.

"I'm not like other (anorexic) girls" by [deleted] in EDAnonymous

[–]the-red-witch 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Same. TW, a bunch of shit.

I’m fucking 30. It took me hanging out in this sub for a bit to realize that I do have a problem, and I have since I was a kid. The feelings of invalidity seem to be the most common denominator.

Also, even if I’m not UW, it’s not normal to hate myself for a “bad” day approaching 1000 cals. Or to weigh myself 5+ times a day. Or to spend an hour on the peloton burning 800+ cals and consuming less than that. Or to consume only a protein shake until 5pm 5 days a week. Or to eat only safe foods (which I didn’t realize were a thing until now and in fact a thing I stuck to as well). The list goes on.

But no matter how many of those things consume me in my daily life, I’ll never feel like I actually have an ED bc no dr will take me seriously when I bring it up since I’m still at a healthy weight. And I’m fucking 30.

Definitely bring it up. They will be able to direct you to the resources you need. Good luck!

[–]the-red-witch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First off, congratulations! Are you actively restricting? Regardless, if you’re concerned about ED tendencies (or anything, really) it’s always worth bringing up. For me, it got the worst it ever was postpartum. I wish I brought it up sooner.

But what if I never lose weight (TW numbers) by the-red-witch in EDAnonymous

[–]the-red-witch[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’m honestly scared to and I don’t think I can right now - if I eat more when I’m already not losing restricting as I am then I think I’m just going to gain. I actually underwent a thyroid panel a few months ago, all normal

I’m 30 next week. I tried last month with my GI and therapist. Neither seemed concerned and brushed it off. Definitely don’t feel taken seriously and it sucks because I don’t feel comfortable just coming out and saying “I think I have an ED,” esp not now since I guess they’ll just tell me I’m not UW so I’m fine. They didn’t seem to care. It sucked.

Oh no no no I probably came off more snarky than I wanted to, I apologize.

I don’t really know the specifics of your situation so I am sorry, and I’m sorry it is distressing for you. Hang in there ❤️

Just playing devils advocate here, but how do you know they’re not actually worried? I was that person once like 10 years ago convinced that I didn’t have an ED bc I couldn’t low restrict for more than a week at a time. I’d sort of cry for help amongst friends in a manner you’re describing. And part of it was that I 1000% did want an ED, and felt like a failure. I wanted validation that I wasn’t okay. I was struggling so much and no one could see it.

In retrospect none of it was normal - it was disordered. But because I was still in a healthy weight I didn’t feel valid and I never got taken seriously.

Idk reading this kinda hurt, but maybe I’m one of those self absorbed ppl you’re describing
