Does anyone else hate the diet talk around the office? I’m a recovering anorexic and my dietician says that I’m at a healthy weight, but it’s super triggering when everyone around me is on a diet

It’s super annoying when all the girls who weigh 100-120 pounds talk about diet and working out and here I am at 190 lbs and stuffing my mouth with food

I agree with PwC1. Hiding health issues adds to the stigma. Be open. You might save someone else too!!

Idk if there are people on your team you could mention to them that you are triggered by that kind of conversation and ask them nicely to try and avoid it ? And explain that you know they didn’t mean anything hurtful by their comments but if they could just avoid them around you you would find it really helpful. Idk. I know it can be hard. A lot of people have HUGE stigmas around mental health issues and aren’t always the most supportive or understanding but maybe if there are people that you do feel comfortable with you could let them know the comments do bother you ?

I don’t like calling it a diet. But I do enjoy prioritizing my health and mindfully eating. I’m sorry it triggers you - maybe try to view it as people trying to be healthy vs skinny? Or maybe avoid them? I’m sure it’s tough.

I didn't apply for a job that would have set me up for the future in the government. I wouldn't have to worry about money or future jobs. My boss had just given me a small pay rise and talked up the future and so I felt good. I now severely regret not applying for the job and cannot stop thinking about it to the point of insomnia and depression. I even contacted the employer but too late. It's a small town and rarely anything comes up. I hate myself and feel like I failed my family. :(

I have a looming sense of self hatred. I take medication I workout and do all the things to feel good, but it’s just stuck there.
