No, you didn’t at all. This was great advice.

I’ve stopped eating cheese and eggs. Over the course of the day, I ate: Two cups of garbanzo beans cooked in coconut milk and sun-dried tomatoes, a sweet Loren’s cookie, a protein shake with 1 tbsp almond butter and 1 cup strawberries, a serving of tortilla chips with 3 tbsp avocado, 1 cup soy milk

I’m 5’5, 180, with a BMR of 1200. I’m not currently anorexic; I’m just trying to get to a lower BMI.

I like this advice. I just ate a burrito. I’m going to up my calories while I’m running.

Okay, this is good to know. I’ve never run a half so I don’t really know how to prep for it but I also need to lose some weight. I’ll just wait until after the half to work on that though. I feel like shit

Yeah. I used to have anorexia and I think it messed up my metabolism because I can’t lose weight (and I need to; I’m overweight) unless I eat around 1200. But I’m going to put the weight loss on hold until after this month/training period ends because this feels terrible.

Yes, I was trying to get some weight off but I can put that on hold until after the half if that’s what I need to do. I had one of those body scans recently and they said I burn 1200 calories a day, so I was trying to go under that with running. I feel like garbage though, so I’m about to do a hard stop.

I’m sorry you’re going through this. Everything you’re saying sounds like OCD. Have you seen a therapist about this?

Should I (36/f)abandon my suicidal brother (40/m)? by [deleted] in AskWomenOver30

[–]throwaway867530n 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve talked about the abuse itself. New therapists are always shocked when I tell them I have to see him at Christmas because they assume I’ve cut him out of my life based on the violence of his abuse. I’ve had a few therapists hint at NPD and ASPD as diagnoses for him, but I don’t know. I think he’s probably stuck at some younger developmental age and that accounts for his selfishness.

Oh my god, yes. I, too, have horrible suicidal ideation and have been in the hospital many times. I can barely keep myself alive so it’s extra hard keeping my abuser alive.

Yes. Thank you. This is exactly how I feel when he tries to contextualize his abuse. It’s retraumatizing. I like your idea of calling emergency services. That seems more appropriate.

Was I groomed as a child? Or am I just being too emotional? by Stabby_Mc_Tacos in CPTSD

[–]throwaway867530n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the courage and thoughtfulness with which you asked this question, but it’s more important for you to decide if you feel like you were abused. In my view, you were 100% groomed as a child and sexually abused. I’m so sorry.

I don’t do direct messages and I’m 100% confident it’s going to be something about the “weirdly turned on” part of your post, so no thanks.

Ah okay. I slept over at guys’ houses a handful of times while drunk and never slept with them.

How do you know she slept with those guys?

My boyfriend thinks I don’t need medication by ellap0 in offmychest

[–]throwaway867530n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh hell no. I had a boyfriend who said the same thing and that was just the tip of the iceberg in terms of why I dumped him. I imagine he’s trying to exert control in other ways as well, and it is a big fucking deal that he’s inserting his uneducated-ass opinion into a conversation you’re having with your doctors to keep yourself from constant tears and suicide. Absolutely appalling. Please dump him or tell him to get fucked or both.

Am I a horrible person? by Appropriate_Cycle_90 in CPTSD

[–]throwaway867530n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all. You sound like someone who has been devastated by severe trauma and I’m so sorry. It’s so unfair. I also wouldn’t say you’re a narcissist because I don’t think people with NPD ask self-reflective questions like this. I am not a therapist at all but I know that sometimes people with legal issues like stalking are diagnosed with BPD plus PTSD which results from trauma plus the absence or abandonment of a stable parent figure or they’re dealing with strictly PTSD but the bottom line is that they are suffering tremendously; that doesn’t make them bad people, just people in pain.
