This is the legit story of my life?
For me it’s anorexia and when it is thrown into the mix of OCD it’s extremely hard...but what I have found has helped me tremendously is this quote “workout bc u love ur body, not because u hate it” maybe this can help u???
Totally feel u there!!! I have had the same thoughts and done the same things....Skipping breakfast will not help skipping meals in general will not help...it’s not the food it’s not ur body it’s what’s underneath it’s what is really going on what are u avoiding/ need to deal with...if you eat regularly throughout the day and keep consistent then you can work on processing the anxieties and not using maladaptive coping mechanisms....fuel ur brain so that u can recover and find out what is being buried...ask yourself whats the deeper meaning behind why I feel the way I do...Ik it’s hard trust me I have gone through it for years and still every so often...have u considered seeing a therapist...they could really help u...hope this helpa
So much! But I feel eating compulsions all the time, like if I don’t eat something bad will happen. It’s a nightmare.
@salvatoria
you’re all perfect the way you are
It’s driving me crazy bc part of me knows I’m fine and beautiful but there’s this part in my mind that is fighting that so hard ?
Oh honey u are certainly not alone...my heart goes out to you...have u thought about seeing a therapist??
Each week I’m obsessing over something new but with no anxiety so I find it hard to realise it’s ocd at the moment I would say weight is my main one especially my stomach I feel like I look pregnant and compare myself to other people saying I’m not as big as them or sometimes if I miss breakfast because I feel sick I’m like why am I not losing weight later on in the evening saying I thought kissing breakfast would help
One of my obsessions is about the fear of being fat. Can anyone relate? I’m struggling with grad school and have no control over working out so my thoughts are terrible. Getting dressed in the morning and constantly checking the mirror and obsessing over how people see me is exhausting...
More people that obsess over there boy figure? I feel like I’m gaining weight and I’m really fat and I can’t stop thinking about it I really want to lose weight and I do everything I can about it, I eat about 1400 calories per day, do fitness 3 times a week, walk 2 times a week half an hour. But I don’t lose weight, well I feel like I don’t lose weight and feel like I’m only gaining fat.
tldr: can’t stop obsessing over weight after i started cheer with a lot of tiny short girls, who tend to make slightly backhanded comments. does anybody have any experience or advice on something like this. recently i havnt been able to stop obsessing over my weight. it’s to the point where i can’t sleep at night by thoughts that i’m fat and i get so mad when i do eat. my first reaction if i do something wrong is to not let myself eat because i don’t deserve it. i am constantly comparing myself to other girls and i can hardly focus on anything else. i had some issues with this before but it’s gotten a lot worse since starting cheer, and all the backhanded comments i’ve endured during the season. while most of the girls are fairly short (4’9 to 5’3) i’m 5’4 1/2 and they always bring up how tall and heavy i am, even though i’m a normal weight for my height. it’s just so difficult to constantly tell yourself not to eat and then if you do you beat yourself up over it. i also struggle with contamination ocd, adm with that i can at least i can temporarily get rid of those feelings, but not with this. if anybody has any advise for this, please let me know.
