I am 37 and got first diagnosed with anorexia at 15.... a long battle that im still working through! On the note of cannabis. I smoked ONE joint at 21 and it set off cannabis induced psychosis that saw me admitted to a psych ward for a year and i still suffer to this day from panic attacks and severe anxiety. I wish that i was someone whos body happily could smoke cannabis but it was the case for me that it was one of the worst decisions of my life. All i am saying is be careful. I genuinely wouldnt wish the last 16 years of the effect from one joint on anybody that it had on me xx
Scarcity mindset doesn't have to be borne from ED restriction alone. People who have lived through internment camps, economic depression or any other traumatic experience can exhibit behaviors of "gathering" and fearing resource scarcity.
No need to apologise! Your body is trying to heal (from the accident). The weather is hot. You deserve free time and ‘you’ time. Your videos are always a blessing but don’t put so much pressure on yourself! 💓
I started using cannabis in my recovery and I really think it was one of the things that helped me to recover. Like you said it made me realise how ridiculous my ed thoughts were.
I was prescribed dizphamto try and calm my anxiety to eat in my twenties...than I got to a dangerous low weight and was committed..I did get into my mother's meds..many narc from a serious accident. I liked it because I could sleep and not eat. Not to trigger but drugs never worked for me. Wish they did.
Man, I wish the the UK government would just get the F on with it’s drug policies already. 🤦♀️ If I could legally obtain cannabis as an aid to recovery, I absolutely would (based on what I’ve heard from the accounts of others). I was actually curious as to how the [UK-based] guest on your podcast was able to obtain it Tabs, did she happen to mention..? Couldn’t agree more on the absurdity of our laws surrounding alcohol and nicotine versus those for cannabis. 🤷♀️
I know I comment on every video lmao, but I really don’t know how to listen to my body when it’s the wrong one. I just hate it too much. Because it’s wrong, it’s a war between me and my body. (Trans)
PLEASE PLEASE answer this: I have really have a hard time breathing (for about 2 years), kind a like air hunger (dyspnea), i cant get enought air in and i yamn A LOT because of this. This makes me dont wanna eat cause when it happens when its hard to get enough air in it gets worse when u have to eat. This is not due to anxiety cause i get hard breathing even when im completley relaxed, ex while, wlking in woods, in the bath, in bed and so on. Have you experienced this? whats the cause? and how to fix it? cant afford to seek care and also never been taking seriosly.
How to cope with gaining? I gain, and FREAK! I start hate myself, i have made a few suicideattempts when i weigh more. I hurt myself a lot when gain cause of anxiety like scratch, cut, and punsch myself. one time i hit myself so hard i the head the doctors thoght i got a bleed in the head. PLEASE HELP!
i can just speak for me but i‘m pretty much at the end of my recovery and i‘m finding life so much more enjoyable and i‘m also doing many fun sponaneous things ☺️ i wish you a lot of strengh xoxo
Was kinda in the same place, i was bored bc i wasn’t thinking about food and having my ‘joy’ in my day come from food and exercise. My therapist called it ‘mourning’ the death of food, she said in some ways it was a good thing/ a break through! Keep on going it will get better!
got diagnosed with epilepsy due to a storke i had dut to severity of my AN. now when i eat i have big siezures any advice? meds arent working also in full recovery and 2 months im having extreme early satiety after only eating a small amount of food and it wasn't happening at the beginning of my recovery just now, 2 months in why is that?
In reference to medical marijuana as she mentioned, I have been using it medically for 2 months and helping with appetite stimulation and it’s also supposed to be effective for seizures. If you can get it, try it!!
Let’s get “Weight restored according to whom?” slapped on a T-shirt. 😂 Heck, let’s start a while merch line - who’s with me? 😝😂

ssoooooo agree with the cannabis thing

Alexander Curtis I’m sorry you are going through that...it sounds unbearable. I hope you have the support you need.
So anxiety around eating beyond the increase amounts allotted is my brain trying to protect me?
