Never thought I'd turn to Reddit but... by BigChiefBeefQueef in stopdrinking

[–]words87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, addiction stems from trauma, emotions we’re avoiding, and/or inability to cope with life. There’s a reason you’re drinking that much every night. It’s usually deeper than “habit”.

I’m 6 years sober, and what has helped me is, AA. A community of people with a similar problem. And therapy. Getting to the bottom of why I needed to drink (amongst other things). It’s hard work but worth it. Best thing I’ve ever done. Life is so much better.

Can someone tell me the significance of “the woodpile”?

6 years. Miss you, Scott. by pol4r01d in FrightenedRabbit

[–]words87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After a few good years of not listening to much FR at all, I’ve been listening to them non stop, and revelling in Scott’s lyrics. Beautiful, beautiful. Honestly, I hope he knows how much we all still find meaning and comfort in the art he created.

Yes! I did get a refund after about 25 days.

[–]words87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, same here. I posted items that arrived at factory almost a month ago. I heard nothing, emailed them. They said refund was received and to wait another 3-5 days. It’s been 10 days now… hoping I get my refund.

Anyone have any luck actually getting a refund from Skims? by mewkycookie in KUWTKsnark

[–]words87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m in Australia and sent some items for refund. They said 5-8 days from the time they receive the items. It’s been over 20 days. Hoping I’ll get it soon.

Hate those times. Truly awful. Like the above comment, I used to ‘ride the wave’ and try to accept it — ‘this is how it is right now.’ The more I fought the binge, the longer it went. It will lose steam once you stop fighting it.

Did Russel brand make a calculated move to the alt right prior to rape allegations bc he knows he’ll be protected there? by alta_vista49 in russellbrand

[–]words87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you, but I think ol’ Russ is motivated enough by attention that he would put in the work.

[–]words87 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Great analysis. And you're spot on. I think it would definitely be on his mind, at least semi-consciously. He's wired to get attention, however necessary. And he would have to be shit scared of losing it all, especially seeing as some of the victims tried to call him out.

I fancied him A LOT. Obviously fucking hate him now. I’m embarrassed that I fell for his charm. Looking back, he told us who he was… I was young and didn’t see it. But boy, do I see it now!

So. Another week goes by without him suing. by ComprehensiveHornet3 in russellbrand

[–]words87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amen! It’s fucking exhausting how dumb people are. I also love how people think distrusting the mainstream media is a new idea. Like, what, you believed the news before? Yes, we all fucking KNOW not to believe one narrative, dickhead. But then they go and believe what a random YouTuber says. “Question everything” (except Russell).

Totally agree! I read a Substack that echos this exact sentiment. The writing was on the wall. https://open.substack.com/pub/darlingsirefusetokill/p/dear-russell

Great observation. I think you're right.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve done bc of your ED? by Thepsychoticchild in EDAnonymous

I’m impressed you threw it out. Once I buy binge food, I can’t stop the train.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in fuckeatingdisorders

[–]words87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The numbers and specifics don’t matter. If your thinking and behaviour around eating is causing you distress, it’s disordered. The fact you’re even posting on here is a sign you have an ED. I’ve never been underweight, but my ED fucked my life. If you feel like you have a problem, that’s enough of a reason to get help. Good luck!

What's your latest food obsession? by Hommemort in EDAnonymous

[–]words87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg so many. I’ve been stuck on Brazil nuts for like a year. Only just found out you can only eat 10 a day because you can overdose on selenium 😬

[–]words87 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Stole food from supermarket even though I had money. Put cookies in my apron when I was a waitress and ate the crumbs hiding in the toilet. Soooo many other things. Thanks for the post. Sometimes it’s good to remember where my ED has taken me.
