2022-02-19 11:07:16 +0000 UTCQ21 00:00:45 - I've been struggling with my eating habits for years. I have memories of being a kid that I think are affecting me now. [..] I find myself eating to feel better when I'm lonely or bored. At times I have managed to make healthier choices and lose weight, but it doesn't last for long. I've gained weight with the pandemic and staying in, and I'm at my heaviest now than I think I've ever been. I want to make meaningful change. [..] Is it possible I have an eating disorder that is undiagnosed? What else can I do to help deal with my view about food and unhealthy eating habits? Q22 00:09:00 - At christmas, while we were eating my stephather and his father was saying that unnvaccinated people should be punished. And i have felt terrible since. Im just so tired of seing people on two different sides of a river trowing rocks at eathother and believing they know exatly how the landscape is on the other side of that river without having to see anything else then what they can from their side. How can any human beings want something like that, how can we even want to force a vaccine, upon someone who is terrified of it, and then some people even want to punish people for being afraid of the wrong thing. How is being forcefully done something terrifying to, not abuse? [..] Q23 00:16:40 - So... I am away with my sister in law...it's just us two with our 2 children for a night. We are both in our own lives struggling with our own things...alcoholism, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, previous substance abuse, relationship issues, traumas...So once our children were asleep. We just chatted and smoked for the first time ever.. [...] The admittance of alcoholism and her sobriety has only been very short-lived...now we are smoking a couple of J's and chatting. How bad is it? Is it ok if it's completely social? Not a coping thing...just a relax and chill thing? I know I have to be careful but I think it's different it doesn't feel bad....I just don't want to damage her recovery…[...] Q24 00:24:40 - I’m not sure how to word this, but I’m so confused about how I can go from 0 to 100 and vice versa real quick? Like is it part of depression itself, or depression and my bipolar depression, or? I know there are ups and downs in depression but are they as dramatic as 0 to 100 or 100 to 0 that are pretty sudden. [...] I know doing stuff usually helps, but it doesn’t help to the point where I’m 0 to 100, you know? Like doesn’t that just put my crisis aside and then it just comes back even worse? If that makes any sense? Or is it me putting on a face? Like everything we do is all distractions? How does that help exactly? [...] Q25 00:29:15 - My question is any advise on how you integrate mind and body? I struggle with dissociation. It’s how I walk through the world. Like I’m a robot, void and numb, I don’t actually exist. I have been doing this work I realize how foreign my own body is to me. I struggle to recognize I’m even dissociated most the time. When I do notice it I do grounding techniques and it helps a bit but truthfully not much. I deeply dislike being touched by anyone. I have learned to cover the absolute terror that surges through my body, when inevitably someone does touch me, but it a struggle. You might imagine this has had negative effects in general and especially inside my marriage. Any advice as to how I can go about establishing the connection to your own body? Sorry if that doesn’t make sense. Q26 00:33:20 - Here is something that I haven’t been able to bring up to my therapist, but I feel like since I’m thinking about it more, maybe I’m getting closer to being ready. The thing is, I feel so much shame around this and I just don’t know how to bring it up. After being raped (first time I am using the actual word 😳) I experimented with many things and one of them was with women. [...] I feel so isolated Because it’s not like this is a common story you hear… or normal? How do I get myself to even get onto this subject with my therapist? [...] Q27 00:39:55 - Do you have any advice on how to handle stalkers? [...] I did everything the police told me to do and they have his record so they told me to take the case seriously… but I am so afraid to do anything because until now I thought ignoring him would make him stop. Do you have any experience on this subject? Q28 00:47:00 - What does it mean to be an empath? Is there such a thing in DSM? Could it be mixed up with traits of BPD? Q29 00:50:20 - Because of the investigation related to staff misconduct (I did speak to the compliance director and their lawyers btw), they’ve had everyone from honeybee house move next door to Hawthorne house. Being autistic, my therapist made it very clear to the treatment center before I came back this time that it was important to my recovery for me to go to honeybee house where I was already acclimated and felt safe. [...] My OP therapist and I have been talking about relapse minimization until honeybee becomes an option again. But I have no idea if returning to the house in the near future is even possible and it’s making me anxious and want to give up. I'm not entirely sure what my question is - just that I’m spiraling on next steps and what the right thing is.
