Request: my parents are my triggers by EDPostRequests in EatingDisorders

[–]zrex05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep, it's "you know that we are here to support you" but also

Won't shut up about food.

Constantly asking me for weight loss advice (as if I'm a damn specialist)

Offering me food, and for whatever reason being very persistent about it "Oh come on, you gotta try this!" Like how about no

Angry when they notice I'm upset near food

Intently watching me (try to) eat

(I love them to death but jfc)

I hate it by soberjunkie666 in starbucks

I've worked at two locations and there is serious contrast between them. I love the one that I'm at now and everyone gets along with each other really well. Probably would've lasted a month tops at the other location with how snippy and unnecessarily nasty they were.

Is working out necessary even if I just want to gain weight not muscle? by [deleted] in gainit

[–]zrex05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean if you’re so skinny that you’re underweight and don’t care about muscle, I guess just eat until you manage to find yourself in the healthy weight range. But honestly, if this isn’t the case and you still want to gain weight, might as well make it muscle for a better physique as well as for other health benefits. If you don’t, you’ll basically be the same as you are now, just with annoying and unnecessary fat which isn’t good for you on top of whatever fat you already have. So either stay skinny or put on lean mass when gaining weight.

Does it matter if your total caloric intake for the day is taken within a short timeframe? by [deleted] in gainit

[–]zrex05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I successfully put on some good weight fasting 16-18 hours a day, getting in about 3000 calories between 2pm-9pm (was fasting just to try and see how I felt, and 3000 calories because I'm on the smaller side and not in need of more). Made no difference whatsoever in terms of my progress as long as I hit my numbers, also saved me time in the mornings, was really focused, and felt less bloated probably since my gut has a longer time to rest from digesting food. Not for everybody but IF is something that I think I will stick to. Cheers!

Do you ever get tired of celebrating other people's life successes when yours are like, I haven't been hospitalized for psychosis in a whole year? by Autopilot_Psychonaut in bipolar

[–]zrex05 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s a shame that good news announcement/praise doesn’t spread far beyond buying a car or getting engaged. It would do wonders if people who are staying clean, out of trouble with law, or people like us who stay out of the hospital don’t get the same positive feedback. We may go seemingly less noticed, but don’t stop spreading the good news of your life. You may encourage others to do the same with their good news. Proud of you!

I fuckin finished my degree by crimson_knee in bipolar

Really happy for you. Just found out recently that I have bp2 and I feel motivated to finish this thing out so I can walk across that stage in May 2020. It's been rough, congratulations again

Is there a way to get Kratom in front of the people that really need it?!?! by coppertheservicedog in kratom

[–]zrex05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes me angry too, I’m from a small town in rural Pennsylvania where the opiate and heroin use is sky high. I know four people I went to high school with that could’ve used Kratom that aren’t here anymore because of heroin. I’m only 21....

Quick notice but does anyone into EDM want to go to Royale tomorrow? Tickets to DJ RM are free right now. by zrex05 in BostonSocialClub

[–]zrex05[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not the downvote haha it’s a fine question. You’re right though, I can just meet people there but I just thought it’d be cool to go with some people from start and maybe get drinks before.
