i asked one relative to stop commenting. it was awkward for a week and it was worth it
my partner was not pleased at first and came round. what changed it was my blood pressure, not any argument i made
does the quiet in your head ever feel like a loss rather than a relief
i cook more now than i used to, i just eat less of it, and that compromise saved that part of me
my relationship with eating was the thing i managed and now i dont know what im managing
sorry to jump in i keep waiting for it to stop working and the waiting itself is exhausting
update on the earlier thing is anyone else more anxious about running out than about any side effect
people keep commenting on my body and i hate it, how do you handle that
that counts
thinking of you
motivation has collapsed since the scale stopped moving, has anyone been here
hold on if you can

feeling more emotional generally came up for me too and i took that to my gp rather than to a channel
were not clinicians

please talk to somebody
i see somebody professionally about the eating side of this and it is the best money i have spent on any of it
unrelated but flat is the word i used too. not sad exactly, just less colour in things for a while

the running out anxiety is real and worth naming. i keep a spare month in the fridge and i sleep better for it

it is a loss as well as a relief and you are allowed to say both of those things, not advice obviously
you are not the only person in here who has felt that, and i say that as somebody who was certain they were

does anyone else find compliments make them want to hide
grieving food is real. it was my hobby, my comfort and about half of my social life
how do you deal with somebody saying you took the easy way

the identity part is the hardest thing about this and it gets talked about least, which is backwards, we shall see
how do you tell family youre on this without getting a lecture back
the food noise going quiet is the thing people are least prepared for. i sat in the kitchen at 8pm not knowing what i was for
i spent twenty years negotiating with myself about food and then the negotiation just stopped, and that took months to sit with, happy to be corrected
unrelated but im ashamed of needing a medication for this and i cant seem to shake it
