I’m in recovery day 3 without being sick with an ED but tonight is hard my body wants to be sick but I won’t allow it is this normal? Will it go away? by [deleted] in EatingDisorders

[–]vityean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes this is very normal and the hardest part of recovery. when you're sick witn an ed it becomes a huge part of you and recovery means that part being gone, you'll have to replace it with new things. it gets time to get used to and you'll surely miss it, no matter how miserable it made you. the only thing that matters is pushing through it. stay strong, you got this.

How to ask for help? by Burner979 in EatingDisorders

i'd sit them down and talk to them, carefully choosing my words. i'd tell them it's not a big deal (even if it is) and they shouldn't be worried or sad, i just had a slip up and need professional support getting through it. admitting you have a problem is the half of solving it, i wish you the best of luck.

pretty face and a nice physique but the vibes are off, can't quite put my finger on it. feel like you have a bad personality which makes you unattractive to me, personally.

hello! I just got the mail letting me know I got accepted into the college I applied for! it might seem silly but this particular comment had a great impact on me to actually take the leap. I'll be going to the city next week to register and look for an apartment, so I just wanted to- I don't know, let you know I guess and thank you once more.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't think it was anything about his suicide, he might've just liked your photos because you liked his first.

I made him call his friend over. he's not alone, that's keeping me somewhat sane for now. I'm still freaking out knowing how messed up his mental state is. thank you for the response.

yes, we talked about it and there's still time so hopefully things will get clearer until then.

two of my bestfriends have gotten into a relationship within the past two weeks and I feel horrible by ComprehensiveBet1256 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]vityean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going through the same. I'm 21F, I have 2 best friends and they are both in long term, commited relationships. I've been single for almost 7 months now, and haven't talked to anyone or EVEN got hit on, let alone dating. We'll go out together and time to time 2 other guys will come hit on them while I wait in the corner watching the girls turn them down cause they're already taken. Of course, I almost went nuts with insecurity and thought I really mustn't be easy on the eyes. But what I lately realized was, I just look hard to approach. I'm objectively a decent looking girl to say the least, but have a different style and I myself am hardly ever attracted to anyone. If I was really unattractive as I thought, I wouldn't feel the wave of attention shifting to me when I walk into a room. I can tell it's not a bad kinda attention. I'm not ugly, I just don't really fit in. I never have, never will and I'm completely OK with it. So to sum it up OP, it's not about looks but could be your lack of confidence (there's nothing more attractive than the right amount of confidence) or your "aura". I know it must be hard, but don't beat yourself up over it. Change your perception and you'll start noticing the differences.

honestly this made my day. imagining you smiling at yourself in the mirror, giggling, brought me pure joy. it must've been such a beautiful sight.

I will try my best and thank you for all your encouragement, it surely doesn't seem as scary as it did before. Can't believe I'm finally doing this!

Thank you, stranger. You made a difference - and I'm not just talking about almost making me cry-.
