    I am a bit confused, the ARFID is not in people who has some medical physical issues such as IBS, stomach issues ( criteria). What about autistic people prone to having ARFID, eating issues due to food sensitivity, not feeling hungry and food taste, avoiding food? The interception is low and the same applies for people with social anxiety depression. I believe that the physical reason (such as IBS, stomach, brain development, stage of brain) does have a big correlation with interception leading to low or none body interception and to eating issues, disorders ( not feeling hungry). Why the DSM criteria for confirming ARFID does exclude medical physical reason if people with ARFID do experience lower interception connected to medical reason ( certain part of brain development, stomach issues, immunity issues with comorbidity like depression, social anxiety and so on? We should look at the ARFID holistically, including the medical physical reason, not only trauma as a cause. Explain please.

    I like your take on this. As someone who invested every waking hour (and several sleeping hours) to being a caregiver for the last two years, only to lose my wife at age 49, detaching myself from that time and energy investment makes a lot of sense.

    • @CristiBundukamara
      @CristiBundukamara 2 дні тому

      I'm so sorry for your loss. It's important to honor the immense effort and love you invested as a caregiver, and allowing yourself to detach can be a vital part of the healing process. Taking steps to focus on your own self-care and grief work can help you find balance and begin to heal​​​​.

      @mihretshimay655 I can't say I could ever understand what you are going through. I pray you have strength. Getting help was the best thing I have ever done. I kinda didn't have a choice with the alcohol. I didn't get help because I was afraid of Charlie Victor 9teen. I was a shot an hour just to keep the shakes away. With that said, once I started drinking earlier in the day or first thing in the morning. I became physically addicted. At that point there is no quitting on my own. It would have ended me. I don't know if you need to hear this but here it is. As for my losses, I can go into more detail if you want. The best thing that made me feel any sort of ok was. Hugs are unlimited.

    I have a bout of resistant depression, and I’m currently doing ketamine infusions. My first treatment was very relaxing, but during my second treatment all my traumas came up and I sobbed like a baby. The psychiatrist had to give me Kleenex and a pillow to hug. It was draining and a bit scary, but the next day I felt like a ton had been lifted from my shoulders. Yesterday was my third and it was nice and relaxing and I felt like my old self. In a few days I will be doing my fourth (out of six infusions) and I’m looking forward to it because I’m feeling great. I had a heart attack a few years ago, and I was terrified that my heart would stop beating during an infusion, but thank God I have had no problems just the feeling that I’m me again. I recommend this treatment, but in a reputable clinic that will monitor you during the infusion or inhaling process. Good luck!

      Karen, I understand that feeling of desperation and the unbearable pain you describe. The flashbacks, the panic, the deep sorrow - I've been there too. Losing my child was the most devastating experience of my life, and it's what led me to create the mentally strong method. It's a way to help grieving parents/spouses like us process their grief in a healthy way, find solace in a supportive community, and eventually regain a sense of purpose. It's my hope that by sharing this method, we can help others navigate the darkest days and find a glimmer of light amidst the darkness. Please know that you are not alone in this journey.

      I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your baby. The pain of losing a child is indescribable and can leave a profound emptiness. In these moments, it's crucial to allow yourself to grieve and feel the depth of your emotions. Surround yourself with supportive loved ones, and don't hesitate to seek professional help if you need it.

      I'm deeply sorry for the loss of your son. Your pain and heartache are unimaginable, and it's understandable to feel such profound grief. Remember that it's okay to feel empty and sad; these feelings are part of the grieving process. Hold on to the love for your surviving son and lean on that bond to find strength. I pray for your comfort and for all who are suffering from such a loss.

    Lost my 16 year old son in February of this year. He had a syndrome that put him at risk, but we were feeling hopeful after 8 years of steady improvement in his condition. There was no warning. He was just with me one minute and the next he was gone. I realize now that even as traumatic as it was for me, being with him when he died, it was also a mercy. A terrible, painful mercy. Since then I've noticed that our family's grief has fallen into a sort of loop. We hold it together during the week and then fall apart at some point on the weekend. We didn't plan it this way, it just happened on it's own due to the demands of day-to-day living. I like your idea better. And I feel we are at a point now where we could set aside a time to just 'let it all out' and then go on with life until the next time.

      I'm so sorry for your loss. Setting aside time to intentionally grieve can indeed be beneficial. Creating a routine where you allow yourself and your family to express your emotions can provide a structured way to handle grief, promoting healing.

    Me and our wife lost our baby who was scheduled to be induced on 6/27/2024. No heartbeat was detected on 6/25/2024. I held him in my arms and cried and said goodbye after my wife had to birth him. I will always love my baby Ezra and will have to tell my 8 and 3 year old sons tonight that their baby brother did not make it

      I am so deeply sorry for you and your wife's loss. Telling your sons about their baby brother, Ezra, will be incredibly difficult. Be honest and gentle, letting them express their feelings and questions. Remember to take care of yourselves, as this is a very heavy burden to bear. Your love and strength as a family will help you navigate this heartbreaking time. Ezra will always be a cherished part of your lives.

      I do choose Jesus. However, nothing fell into place in this world. Just like Jacob, I will publicly wrestle with God.
