ED Ptsd & eating disorder

[Flip flop]

Great question....

I don’t believe in recovery anymore either, even if there are times of weight gain,...

Yeah...you get it! Sorry you’ve been through that, but thank you for sharing that and for your understanding. Thanks!

Proana? Is that the group that promotes anorexia?

I do not know of a group that is “the group that promotes anorexia.”

ProAna is interpreted in different ways. Some people label it as promoting pathology. Some see it as trying to strike a balance between reasonable health for people for whom traditional recovery does not work. There’s an amazing amount of literature on it, depending on where a person looks. TV and movies LOVE drama and pathology....so, they love to focus on whatever frightens viewers.
Hoe that is a decent answer.

I can't remember where I saw it but there was a warning to parents about the "proana" movement a while back. Glad it's not as bad as they say

Yep. The media loves the scare tactics of frightening parents....it’s very effective for ratings.

However, being an adult of more than a couple of decades.....the media can jump off a cliff as far as its beloved fearmongering.

I am determined to find someone to help me with accountability, and I have already put out the call in a few places. This site is certainly not an appropriate place for what I am looking for in that regard. However, I hope I am not violating rules/TOS by expressing anger at trad ED treatment and discussing my emotions.
I want to make it clear that I amNOT seeking any ProAna assistance here and if anyone PMs me offering that, I shall report them.
Just thought it best to post that in case a reader of this post gets the wrong idea.
If that makes sense.

I sleep now. Have a good night. Thanks for “listening.”

Okay....just let me clarify a bit.

I have not listed any ED websites on this website.
I have not given out any information about who I am or profile names on ED-related sites on here.
I wish everyone the best, and I must please ask that no one PM me about ED related anything even if you are not asking for information that the site owners/admins, etc. would consider harmful.
Not trying to shame anyone or make anyone feel bad.

Really in a bad place atm. My ED is acting up badly. Went the opposite direction for awhile and just ate junk because I was stressed but then got more stressed because of it and the anorexia and everything with that kicked back into high gear and I’m just no idea what to do at this point just my whole self esteem has taken a blow recently and the ED problems are just making it worse atm. Sorry just had to get this off my chest

Despite being more on top of my ptsd than ever recent illness has taken my bi back down to 15 (was unable to swallow for a few months). Money work family college business voluntary commitments living arrangements and relationship stressors are constantly high all at once right now so despite fighting back from recent infections and early lymphoma I have no appetite and no time or headspace to consider eating or gaining weight and I'm not gonna lie numbers are dropping dangerously low but right now I can still ignore it as for some reason not having to bother with food gives me more time and energy (go figure) to deal with all this other stuff that can't be ignored right now. I have recovered enough from my trauma lately to build a new busy life that means something and follows my gut but man its busy.
