I (23 y/o male) am developing some bad mindsets and behaviors... My body image has been terrible my whole life -- when I was 19 and in college I used aderall and starved myself (losing a TON of weight). I gained it back during COVID but I was feeling better about myself. But now I'm not feeling better about myself. I hate my body. I'm convinced that my life would be so much better if I was thinner. I'm highly restricted, and feel super guilts when I eat even if it's one time. I purged for the first time. How should I intervene to cut this off before it spirals? Any techniques / therapies peop ..read more

(Sorry rhis is going to be a jumble of words i am not great with punctuation and wrote this on my phone) In 2022-2023 i had an eating disorder bur isk what was wrong with me. I was able to eat citrus and yogurt withiut feeling sick and the symptoms typically lessened around dinner where i would est a lot to compensate for the lack of calories i had in the early morning. It started with me vomiting like 3 days in a row due to taking zinc on an empty stomach and lasted for close to 5 months. My mom was under the impression it was stress related because of me starting a new school, but i enjoyed ..read more

hi lovelies, i’ve been in recovery from restrictive eating disorders for about 3 years now. i’ve had my fair share of lapses through recovery but the last week or so was my first more extended relapse. And i sort of loved it. it reminded me of the rush i used to get from restricting and why i did it. that said, i sought support and i am in a better place now and eating consistently again, but grappling a lot with the shame of that relapse and wondering how you all cope with relapses, giving yourself grace, and staying on track after re-familiarizing yourselves with the old feeling of living i ..read more

Eating, but not being able to purge

i feel like whenever i eat (typically 1 meal occasionally or when people are around), i feel this sense of overwhelming shame and guilt making me feel that i need to purge by puking. it gets stuck in my head for hours and i contemplate it, but i never can. i think it probably has to do with emetophobia and being scared of vomiting, but i think not purging affects me worse because i belittle my self even more and starve my self the next few days after i eat a meal and it creates a cycle that seems to never end. it feels like i'm trapped and this disgusting substance (food) is in me and i cant ..read more

Having trouble finding things to eat

I’m a skinny, underweight 13 year girl. I don’t eat healthy at all and don’t eat enough. It’s been getting really bad lately. I love ice cream and have it everyday after school, and I have a muffin in the morning, (it’s a big muffin,) but half the time I don’t eat a lot of it at all. I buy lunch, and the most days I have a chicken patty, but sometimes I don’t eat a lot of it, or I don’t eat an all. The only time I eat a lot is wensday, which is breakfast day, which is usually something I’ll eat, like cinnamon role, pancakes, or waffles, but it’s not a lot to eat. Dinner is always tough, I som ..read more

My daughter has an ED, she has never come out and said it but we are all aware of it. I accidentally slipped up and said a comment about her body and she began to cry. She afterwards opened up about having an ED, and expressed how wrong it was that I made a comment. I know I messed up and I feel horrible, but don't know how to move forward from this. I'm a single mother and don't have any outside support. To make it worse my daughter is moving out at the end of the week and I'm now sick to my stomach thinking about how I have made things worse. I am worried and do not know what to do. submit ..read more

my weight is right on the edge of underweight and i’m terrified. i’ve been catching myself start to count calories and purposely take a lot less food when i’m eating with my family. what do i do. i feel like shit when i eat what would be considered “enough”. parents make me exercise and i do like 20-40 minutes of cardio pretty much every day. i’m always exhausted and feel like i’m losing my shit. in the past i’ve gained weight up to a certain amount, but never lost this much at once before. i’ve been bulemic and eat in a deficit if i’m not paying attention to how much i should eat. what do i ..read more

Binging to gain weight

I have been in recovery from anorexia and purging disorder. I have always been underweight even before my eating disorder and have since been told I’m not allowed to exercise by my ed team due to my low weight. My desire to go to the gym and build muscle is currently stronger than my desire to restrict and lose weight, however I’ve had repeated episodes of binging in order to be able to gain weight quickly and be allowed to exercise, followed by extreme uncomfort and restriction. Any advice on getting out of this ‘all or nothing’ mindset? submitted by /u/Emisright [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Hi everyone, So I'm in my 30s and have had an ED since I was around 12. It morphs and changes, and at this point I've had all of the major eating disorders at some time or other. After a long and destructive period of BED, I switched back to restrictive eating and am now diagnosed with atypical anorexia - anorexia but still at a "healthy" BMI (despite major weight loss). I started therapy for the first time ever 6 months ago, but it's slow and arduous. Every week I go with the best of intentions and feel myself shutting down and closing off as soon as I get there. At this point, I think I'm a ..read more

How can i explain my ED to my partner?

I (F19) want to be more open about my struggles to my boyfriend (M20), but whenever I do talk to him he tells me that if I just go to the gym and eat healthy i’ll be fine or that he’s dealing with too much to worry about my problems. Sometimes i wish he knew and understood how draining this disorder can be and when he responds like that it’s like maybe im just exaggerating how I feel. ? submitted by /u/ch3l_si [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
