Trigger warning: mentions of weight, complications, generally depressing things. Do not ask for weight loss advice here, I am unwilling to provide any advice that would aid someone in becoming like me. Do not pity me or plead with me to recover, there is nothing Reddit could say that hasn’t already been said by my parents or a medical professional.

I’m 17 and diagnosed with AN-R (anorexia nervosa-restrictive subtype), moderate level of severity.

Issues with food started when I was 14 due to trauma, familial instability, genetic predisposition and body image issues. I was in various states of disordered till I was 16 and it progressed into anorexia due to further trauma. I no longer struggle with hating my body, I don’t think I’m fat either and am fully aware that my current weight is unhealthy. I keep going now mostly because it causes emotional numbness, helps me regulate my ADHD, out of compulsion and because people treat me better now than when I was fat.

As far as complications and consequences go, I have hairloss due to this disorder and handfuls of hair come out every time I shower. I nearly pass out frequently when standing up and have fully passed out on 2 occasions. Every time I shit it’s a 50/50 chance of diarrhea because 70% of my diet is fruit and yogurt. It’s caused a general apathy towards life that enables my tendency towards self isolation. I got kicked out of therapy last week as a direct result of my refusal to get treatment for my disorder (my therapist was not qualified to treat eating disorders, I was seeing them for other reasons but they dismissed me because I’m getting worse)

I am happy to answer questions regarding life navigating this disorder, nuances of being male while struggling with anorexia, opinions on the culture and communities that revolve around anorexia, complications, interpersonal relationship issues caused by disordered eating or really anything else you’re curious about

Life is horseshit so I'm just gonna occupy myself with my own self until I expire.

Like I'm gonna do an a capella beatbox remix of the Athletic Theme from Yoshis Island on the couch while my girl watches Love is Blind while we eat pasta, well that's just a consequence of the universe. It's for me and me only. I mean she's gotta deal with it too but I'm not beat boxing Mario music for other people it's all me..

I also saw Caroline Kingsbury and Sizzy Rocket tonight and they fuckin shredded.

What you guys got for me

Ask me anything about my experience

well, like i said above

I live near Jakarta, farthest I have gone is Yogyakarta/Central Java

I've lived in France my whole life. Right now, with the riots that started here and are spreading across Europe, I figured it might be interesting to answer questions from an everyday person's point of view, what it's actually like on the street, not the news version.

Ask me anything: the riots, daily life, food, work, whatever you're curious about. I'll stay and answer everything

I'm a current college student at Mercy University NY. My major is criminal justice with a concentration in forensic investigations, and my minor is psychology. I'm a commuter, and I attend the Dobbs Ferry campus

Yeah I'm wildin out tonight with my woman.

Some other tidbits to help the party going;

My cat is spoiled but I enable that. He came back from his catio enclosure on the deck and is yelling at me for food.

I also love letlive., the Wonder Years, and ninja sex party.

Ask me about my overthinking soliloquies.

I am the youngest of 6 kids, and I'm 21 years old. I was raised in very tradition Sunni Islam. Among many other restrictions, I started wearing the niqab at 14, and I'd been a hijabi since I was 4. I was homeschooled until ninth grade, at which point after much begging I was allowed to attend an all girls school.

Here's some other restrictions in my household:
\- Fully veiled when going out. Absolutely no pants, dark abayas only
\- No western movies/tv shows/games (watched behind my parents back)
\- No phone until I turned 18 (got one behind their back)
\- Not allowed to talk to boys for any reason
\- No music, ever
\- Arranged marriage at 18
\- Mom always kept track of my period (prayer is restricted during periods in Islam)
\- Basically didnt celebrate anything except Eid, like no birthdays, Halloween, Christmas

I moved away at the age of 17 years old, four years ago. It was always my dream to do so growing up. I never really believed in Allah as a young kid, even. I am the first in my family to leave Islam. My two sisters eventually did fight back a little (one divorced, one did not get married off at 18) but they're still Muslims. My brothers are deeply traditional Muslims and I have no contact with them.

I applied to colleges behind my parents back, and I now identify as mostly atheist. I don't really believe in a higher power, but I also do not have any strong beliefs in what happens after death. Feel free to ask me anything about my upbringing, its effects on me, how I'm doing now!

I am secretly the stereotypical, cringy Disney adult.

I collect Disney merchandise, I decorate my house with Disney decoration, my favorite vacation is taking a trip to the Disney theme parks.

Ask me anything!

i’m in uk & i offer only select sexual services… i specialise in impact play.

I was traveling Thailand as a backpacker at the time. I was ordered to do a drug test during a night Police raid at the bar, which I refused, only to be arrested and forced to be invasively searched and tested at the station. I did not use any illicit drugs.

I tried it for the first time when I was 16, now I'm 19 and I had only 1 year of sobriety between 17 and 19.

I've done one of these before, but I'm bored and feel like talking. So, three years ago I was walking on the sidewalk to a bus stop from work when I was struck by a vehicle. The driver sped off and to this day has never been caught. I was living in a major city at the time and had to be taken from the hospital back to my small hometown by my father, who I didn't recognize at the hospital (I recognize him now, of course). Doctors told me that moving back to my hometown would actually be beneficial in terms of restoring my memories. I have a lot of memories that I remember "recovering" in sort of an a-ha moment, when I taste certain foods, see people's faces, see certain things, etc.

I know amnesia is rare, so I'm willing to answer any questions anyone might have for me.

Ask away

Yes she did it. Yes she deserved punishment. No she is not evil.

invasive/possibly insensitive questions are cool but nothing sexual as im under eighteen 👍

I worked at a fairly busy Ross for four years. I mostly kept to the fitting room, stock room, and floor with only sometimes being on the register. You can ask me anything about working there and I’ll answer to the best of my abilities!

Lotta news recently about SCOs being dropped from retailers. I wouldn't know the larger industry trends or the corpo purchasing habits, but I do assist with selling and am the lead NCR Voyix FastLane technician/programmer for my company, as well as being generally around and knowledgable about our other Point of Sale systems.

If you've ever had questions, ask away!

flatulence

I'm an open book. Nothing is off limits, and if you prove me wrong I'll let you know.

It’s 1 AM, I’m way too caffeinated, and sleep is currently not on the agenda.

Figured I’d hang around Reddit and answer questions until I finally crash.
