my partner was not pleased at first and came round. what changed it was my blood pressure, not any argument i made, ask me again in a month

BV

coming back after 5 months to say thank you, is that alright to do in here
grieving food is real. it was my hobby, my comfort and about half of my social life

VV

the escalation nerves got smaller each time for me but they never went away entirely

if all you managed today was the dose and some water, that counts and i mean that

KM

motivation has collapsed since the scale stopped moving, has anyone been here

im ashamed of needing a medication for this and i cant seem to shake it

EA

i am kinder to myself now than i was when i was heavier, and that is not because of the number

EA

the disorienting bit for me was realising how much of my day had been spent thinking about the next meal

somebody said the easy way thing to me and i just said it was not easy and changed the subject. it worked fine

RR

i spent twenty years negotiating with myself about food and then the negotiation just stopped, and that took months to sit with

RR

im at month 5 and doing well and feel strangely sad about it, is that a thing

were not clinicians

VV

i came back at month 25 to say thank you and got a much warmer response than i expected

RR

we are a chat channel. good company, not clinicians, and it matters that we keep saying so
