#EatingDisorder
I have founded a group for abuse survivors (of past or present abuse) and those who question whether they were or are experiencing or witnessing abuse or coercive control or undue influence or someone is using power over them and retaliating against them when they don't "behave".
I myself survived childhood sexual abuse, incest, abuse by a cult, my therapist, psychiatry nurses, sibling, friends, queerplatonic partner/girlfriend, roommate and harrassment from a nazi neighbor plus landlords. I kinda got a bad start to life (in germany) and then people tended to make it worse instead of helping me or they took advantage of me.
So I learned a lot about what does and doesn't help!
And I want to help you out, whether you went through something you fear no one will believe or be able to stomach hearing about, or you think it was probably nothing and you overreact. You don't overreact! Nothing is too small to be worth talking about.
I'm making a space to have a warm, supportive, good vibes atmosphere that we co-create together. We'll help each other grow and see through confusions and distortions of the truth and gain more agency, to make choices, decisions and do stuff and have an impact on the world.
We'll also have fun and laugh and cry and eat cookies and discover what it's like to argue with someone who doesn't slice you to ribbons emotionally.
Anyone is welcome regardless of age, gender, ability, neurotype, location or background. I just ask that you help make the group a good space, be that by complaining when everyone else is too polite to say anything or by listening or by sharing. Please don't worry that by joining you'll take up too much space or take resources away from someone who might need them more — you ARE our space and our resources!
The first step is, once we have at least a handful of people, to decide when and how often to meet.
I use @delta delta chat for its privacy and because it works with spotty internet and very little tech knowledge. It works on desktop and mobile. You can download the app from google's or apple's appstore or FDroid or their website delta.chat (watch me not get the preview to work)
It was super easy to make an account and didn't require anything other than a username - no phone number or email address (or password).
DM me for an invite, which is a link that you click to join the group. The group is invite only to keep out spam and abusers.
Please boost and share this post, including on other sites or however it works for you, or by talking about it and linking here.

And you need to listen to your body. ESPECIALLY when it tells you to eat the "unhealthy" food or "too much" of it or at the "wrong time". That's your body looking out for you.
I know in theory that because of my eating disorder, my body's ability to signal its needs to me, and probably more so my ability to listen, is messed up. So I have to eat when I'm not hungry, or eat when nothing tastes good. (The praxis of this still trips me up.) But when I DO get a craving, I know I should listen.
"All the tasty food is bad for you" is a lie. It's tasty because it is full of stuff we need. That's basic evolution. We need energy, calories, sugar, fat, carbs. They're good for us and they're healthy and they're necessary. Additives usually serve a good purpose and are fine (except artificial sweeteners). Ok I'm not a nutritionist, these are just things I need to remind myself of. I'm being very general and vague for that reason. But it's important to push back against the constant diet culture messages that tell us to deprive ourselves of things we're hungry for.
Meine Tochter ist gerade ein paar Besorgungen für mich machen.
Hab ihr vorhin noch geschrieben, sie möchte mir noch eine Tafel Milka mitbringen.
Macht sie nicht. Wenn ich sowas will, soll ich es mir selbst holen.
Mein binge-gesteuertes Hirn ist mega sauer. Mein wahres Ich ist ihr sehr dankbar :herz:
There has been a growing movement over the years that has done nothing but lie, indoctrinate and trick its followers into believing misinformation. That movement is the Fat Acceptance Movement. They have made numerous untrue claims about being obese. With some of them being that: you can be healthy at any size, being obese carries no health problems, (that some people) simply can’t lose weight, etc.
Not only are these claims untrue, but they can be harmful. As they lead to people not even trying to lose weight or seeking the help of a healthcare professional. Some people who are obese also have an eating disorder, B.E.D (Binge Eating Disorder). By spreading these lies, people who are suffering from these and other issues may never get the help they need. So please, don’t fall for it.

“Being thin created intense anxiety that I wouldn’t be able to maintain that weight for life, and I couldn’t.”

How many of y'all honestly know the difference between appetite and hunger? It can make a world of difference when trying to figure out the treatment plan. If you have no interest in eating, its appetite issues (psychological) and/or feel no physical sensations when deprived of food, that's hunger issues (completely physical). When treating eating disorder mild or extreme, figuring out if its appetite or hunger can help you pick the right doctor for you. #food #medicine #health #eatingdisorder
I remember a mom sitting in my clinic, her face etched with worry. "He just… won't eat," she’d said, her voice barely a whisper. "It’s not just being fussy, Doctor. #ARFID #cognitivebehavioraltherapy #eatingdisorder #malnutrition #pickyeating
It’s been a long journey, but I am grateful to give my body the nutrition it deserves.
