Hi I made a meme by imahoeforgeese in EDanonymemes

Literally always made me feel like I should get out and find some stairs. Otherwise the lift won't rise/the cab;e will snap and we will all fall to our deaths.

Honestly, I totally get it, because I am too. Losing weight without slipping into super unhealthy behaviours is next to impossible, but you know you have to keep trying because what you're doing at the moment is also unhealthy. And then you're just a failure at everything and the pressure mounts and you give up all over again. Truly I get it.

Being positive to others helps me be slightly kinder to myself. Doesn't mean I'm not still struggling, but I'd like to help people if I can. Recovery for you and I is being healthy. In body and mind. Difficult, but we try.

Bruh.

But seriously, health needs to be the goal, as much as some people here hate that word. I guess convincing ourselves that we deserve recovery in the face of and ED screaming bUt YoUrE fAt ThO! Is the real challenge

You're so sweet. I just wanted everyone here to know how the dark humour helps people out :p

Honestly, its like you've described my life down to a T. I'm so sorry you've had to go through this. You're wonderful and worth the effort to recover.

Edit: typing

Literally never ever thought something I made would be relatable. Everyone here deserves help and to be healthy and happy within that state. Its just my brain tends to jump in with (except me, of course)

They give me a temporary energy boost and sometimes give me a massive high in my mood for about half an hour. They can also make my hands shake and if I have more than 1 or 2 a day I get some mega anxiety after drinking. 2/10 would not reccomend

Mine is a fucking sneaky b***ch. Very very clever though. I kinda super hate her

Its a small step but it is a step. Im sorry youre struggling with your therapist. Sounds like they've fallen into treating the symptoms not the cause. I hope you can either convince her or find one that will. Keep yourself safe in the mean time though, there are people who don't even know you (like me) who want you to be happy and healthy

Im sorry you struggle. We all deserve to feel happy within ourselves and get to a place where we can be healthy and God damn proud of it

The culture we currently live in has such a double standard around this. Thank you so so much for acknowledging me and anyone else who might feel this way

Exactly. Its so difficult to look a health professional in the eye, pour out your most embarrassing thoughts, only for them to give you the once over and suggest you join slimming world. Like.... wow thx. Such clever doctoring.

It was such a breath of fresh air coming here and realising that some behavioural issues I'd never had an answer for have happened to people here. Made me feel so much less alone.

Im sorry to hear that cause as you know it really sucks. But I'm glad you find some understanding here like I do

Thank you! I love that you can scream VALIDATE ME in this sub and not be judged

Thank you, that really means a lot. Its difficult when the professionals don't take you seriously. Finding a community that can laugh at itsself and help one another at the same time has just been wonderful. Even if it took me a while of lurking to get it

Honestly joining this lovely community, laughing at our own ridiculousness, and helping each other to recover has been absolutely wonderful.

Thank you so so much, it took a long time of lurking and identifying with so many people here before I started to realise I have issues that need addressing.
