Q1. 14.50 - Is there a reason that whenever I’m physically sick or have holidays, my mental health takes a nosedive? Q2. 17.50 – My question is, how long can one person keep forgiving stupid behavior, and how can I survive these events and at least be able to remember who i am, and find back to it, and how can I stay by my side when Im the only one who "understands". Q3. 25.33 - How do we know when a situation is natural to have some anxiety? Does it just depend on what you value yourself? Is being anxious about a first date in the same category, or is it just as rational as being careful around flames? Q4. 31.57 - How could I know if I actually have PTSD or am I just experiencing being triggered by past trauma in my life, or are they synonymous? Q5. 39.45 - I've been thinking about traumas, why some things in my life have so much impact for so long while others are just a big thing at the time but something I can look at later as almost an adventure. What doesn't make sense is that a minor trauma triggers me so strongly while a major one can be a bragging scar. I just don't understand why these traumas aren't more proportional to the level of impact they had on my life? Q6. 46.28 - How can I accept the diagnosis and still hold onto the self-image of a competent partner and professional? Q7. 52.20 - If I cut out some of my struggling behaviors from my life, what could I possibly replace them with that fills the void in a healthy way? I'm exhausted. Q8. 57.53 - Why does my brain want to skip to the part where everything is settled instead of just getting to know a person? Is this somehow related to not wanting people to see my imperfections? Q9. 1.03.21 - I struggle w/ anxiety and rejection sensitive dysphoria which have had major negative impacts on my past romantic relationships. How can I start off a conversation that addresses what happened but doesn’t dwell on it? Should I even try to salvage these relationships or should I just accept what happened and move on? Q10. 1.09.21 - My question this month is how to better control jealousy, and how to move forward without asking again if am in a relationship? Q11. 1.17.21 - What is your opinion on friendships between people with ED (between someone with anorexia and someone struggling with food)? Q12. 1.21.21 - I found out that my Mum has been suicidal recently. I have started feeling extremely depressed myself, and just struggling to do anything as my old self harm urges are coming back in full force. Do you have any advice for how to deal with all of this so I don’t completely break down? Q13. 1.23.30 - After some time away I am going to be visiting a town near where I spent most of my life. As I get closer to the day I will visit I am having more dreams of how things used to be and I am waking up feeling completely drained and as if I had barely slept My body aches and I am ridiculously tired even though I haven't been doing anything. I feel like I know better than to ask if this is normal. Q14. 1.25.54 - I'm finally at a point in therapy where I feel like I'm allowing myself to let down my walls and open up fully. My therapist has said many times since we first started working together that I seem to be on the "accelerated track". What does the "accelerated track" even mean? Q15. 1.34.20 - I know I can't live my life for my parents and I would really like to stop feeling guilty and worried about all this. I like many things about getting older but I hate this aspect of it. Could you give me any advice? Q16. 1.41.44 - Can you give tips on how to remove a delusion? Q17. 1.48.14 – Im not too sure if it’s eating disorder related or slight OCD or what… but if I’m making food i need to wash up straight away before i can eat, the pan, the utensils everything. My psychiatrist and i were talking about my eating disorder and she said that even just being vegan is a type of eating disorder… what do you think about this? Q18. 1.54.27 - What are some things we can do when we need to be more compassionate to ourselves when we don’t know how?
