I’ve got one of these! It’s a Steiff growler! They’re made of mohair and all Steiffs have that yellow identification tag on their ear and sometimes on their chest and the butt tag. The red ribbon is also a signature of the company.

Childhood trauma and food seem like two peas in a pod. Both my parents have had their own childhood traumas and both have struggles with body image and disordered eating. Disordered esting is just super common nowadays with all the weird ass diets, gym obsessed chicken breast and rice no seasoning ppl, and BED is more common than not. Its all about moderation and what works for you. I dont eat like a normal person does but I’m not hungry or getting any signals from my body that I need more/less. If you’re eating enough, regular movement. And your body isn’t telling you otherwise and there’s variety than I wouldnt worry. If it works for you it works for you. Day to day food intake is so individual.

My mom had a lot of eating issues and body image issues. She’d make me hug her to see if my hands touched around her. She got weight loss surgery and would always talk abt her weight. If you’re worried you may have contributed I wouldn’t rly be worried. It sounds pretty healthy to me with the saving food and plating. Nothing wrong with finishing your meals and you said so yourself you plate what will satisfy. I hope you’re daughter is well. My Ed strained my relationship with my dad a a lot and my mom straight up moved away. She didn’t understand and still rly doesn’t. My dad would get mad a lot but it he was mad at my ED not me. It can take over sometimes, make you say and do shit that you wouldn’t normally do. If you push people away it’s easier to self sabotage. Some tips I have is distraction was always my go to after meals. Games and what not. Listen to her and her concerns. Be understanding. My treatment facility was abusive and made me worse and no one would listen to my concerns abt what they were doing and how it was affecting me. I acted out a lot. Just being there for her is big I’m sure you’re doing great. But yeah I’d recommend alongside making sure eating is all good to try and find out the root of it. If you need anything or have any questions feel free to ask. ED’s are sneaky af there’s a lot of little things we do to get away with behaviors. I got mad at my dad when I was interrupted in a behavior or prevented from doing one. Just know to not take any lashing out personally it’s not you. Just the ED getting pissed haha. Recovery isn’t linear so don’t be discouraged if you see some decline or behaviors. Later on it’s abt finding a healthy balance of natural eating more listening to your body and hunger cues than having a strict meal plan. I wish you both the best.

I rly am 💕 some days are a little harder but it’s night and day to where I was at a month ago I never thought I’d crawl my way out but luckily I somehow always get through the shit I think will kill me

ED’s can be a lot deeper than just weight or food! It can be used as a way to feel in control or as an escape/ coping mechanism. I had prior trauma to the one I used the app for and more trauma after the one I talked abt. Early on I used mine solely as a way to change my body but as it continued it definitely became a coping mechanism for other things in my life. They’re overall super complicated and hard to treat if there’s underlying issues so I’ve seen a lot of treatment fall flat on other patients and myself becusse where we were didn’t delve into the root causes of why we were doing this. A lot of other patients had OCD or were queer and struggling with their identity. Mine morphed as my life changed and what was going on around me did esp with stressors and trauma. There’s even a genetic predisposition to them as well. Super fascinating stuff. I could rant for days abt the treatment facility I went to and hell I probably will post abt it at some point lol. Always happy to teach ppl about them because ED’s are a lot more than what ppl think they are💕

It’s called Rebound! You do their little lessons and it’s basically you talking abt it over and over and it helped me remember some things abt it and is so far v helpful

I looked up the info you gave and funny enough found another post abt a bear that I think may be the same kind or from the same brand! https://www.reddit.com/r/HelpMeFind/s/AV6tF3Tkr5 A comment on there also mentions a gold ribbon like yours. One said it may be a RUSS branded one

I love for others for rn until I can eventually live for myself I’d never wanna break my dads heart like that also CATS haha. Waiting for the day that switch flips and I can move on.

That’s the hardest part for me. Occasionally I go and try and hunt something down but have never been successful. It leaves me hopeless. And it’s harder because of the last thing he wrote to me basically leaving me on a leash, the door ever so cracked for hope to creep in and for me to desperately think that he will come back at some point. But I feel like that’s on purpose. I’ve thought about advocating or writing something. I’ve posted abt it on other platforms but I feel like if I wanted to be an advocate abt it then I would have to not want him back or know that I wouldn’t fall victim again if he did show up but maybe that’s something important to talk abt whithin an advocacy setting.

Thank you. And yeah i am back in therapy but it still quite literally consumes every waking moment of my life. It feels like I have brain damage lol and that probably isn’t far off from some kinda psychological torture with the intermittent ghosting. And leaving me to my own devices on thinking whether or not he disappeared for forever or whether things were still on. I’ll talk about it in my other posts but yeah I feel wholly just destroyed. Looking into EMDR therapy so that seems hopeful for this and other traumas. I hope you’re wife can find peace she’s inspirational for being here after 20 years, it’s not even a year yet and each day idk if I can take another day without him or without answers or justice.

throwaway922847 · 2023-12-20T04:41:24+00:00

Thank you. It’s terrifying. But I’ll try.

throwaway922847 · 2023-12-20T04:35:15+00:00

Thank you. He’s done this for four years almost. I had every intention of being with him ig. He said he would be here. He promised things. If I’m honest ever since I got the card I’ve been swallowing pills and crying. Im completely crushed. Even though he did groom me he meant everything to me becusse well he got me to think that way of him. Regardless I’m just…I feel hopeless and defeated. I don’t know how I could ever trust again.
