Anyone else dealing with eating disorders/what did you do about it? Have had them ever since university and consulting (expensed meals, little sleep, stress) made it way worse.

On the borderline of disordered but certainly always had a lot of issues with food. Do you identify as female? If so I recently read a book targeted to women with eating disorders that really made me think. It’s called Eating in the Light of the Moon. Somehow it made a lot of things click for me and I feel like I’m slowly changing my mindset in a way that can help me get over these struggles. It’s like $8 used on amazon. Hope it helps you ❤️

Although, keep in mind the book was written in 1996 and has slightly outdated view on gender. As a straight cis woman I still found it relevant for myself but not everyone will. I still think the lessons are valuable

I would work with a therapist if you can. I feel reasonably over this but it took almost a decade before I feel like I was able to eat and exercise in a normal way. I’m not sure I can point to specific things I did...but I think it helped that I learned to cook and appreciate food rather than viewing it as a thing to stress over. Stopped regularly weighing myself. Focus on how my body feels when I exercise, rather than thinking about weight. Remove myself from the conversation when people are talking about diets or similar topics that can be triggering for me. I feel like it’s a long road of trying to reset our brains.

I’ve been trying to figure out dosage and medication over the past month and wanted some insight from people who may have more experience with diff doses. I started with 5mg Adderall for 2 weeks but it stopped being effective around the 4-5th day. I switched to 10 mg for a week and it was good but a bit up and down, so switched to Vyvanse 30 mg for a week, which was too strong. I’m now on 15 mg Adderall, but it feels like I can’t concentrate and I’m scattered. Question in comments:

For 2022, is that type of language necessary? Vaccines will have been out 1 year. The state we are getting married won’t require it (southern state), it feels like it’s on the individual wedding to say (or not).
