I developed an eating disorder right after I stopped self harming. I thought I was finally recovering but then I realized I had found another destructive behaviour to replace my old ones.
Spot on!!! I can turn my ED off when I go out to a party and am being social and want to seem "normal" for the time being. But I can't remove restriction and bingeing/purging for more than a day or so.
Hello Kati! I recently told my parents about my depression. They think that exercise will automaticity fix my depression. I run cross country so I exercise daily. I feel that going out makes things worse. They also don't want me diagnosed with depression because they are afraid that it will effect my future. How do I make my parents understand and let me get help?
I've had an eating disorder for about 7 years. I would eat a lot at night and then make myself throw up. But since I got braces 2 months ago, I've had better control with my eating. I have not thrown up since the day I got braces... But I have sometimes eaten a little too much at night, but it's not even close to what I used to eat during a binge, but enough to tell me that I should stop eating becuz I can't throw up. And then the next day I will go biking for a couple hours. I do still think that I have an eating disorder, just dealing with it in a different way. I'm hoping to use these 2 years with braces a chance for me to try to recover before I get them off.
I love love LOVE The Broken Road! One of my favourite songs ever!!! Haha when you said it I was calling out the title for you ;) Great video, as always Kati :)
#Katifaq Mood Disorder(not otherwise specified). I had never heard of this until my therapist gave me a note for college and it was on there. I was diagnosed with it months ago and no one bothered to tell me. My therapist wouldn’t explain it to me. I also have BPD and social anxiety. I thought personality/ mood disorders were the same thing. What is Mood Disorder(not otherwise specified, or something else, I’m not even sure what it’s called)? What is it’s official name? What’s the difference between mood and personality disorders? How to do they work together? Do they? Thank you so much. Megan
Hey Kati. I've been doing self-harm once in a while and having suicidal thoughts everyday. Some say I need to see a therapist. But some people think I just do these things for attention and don't need to see a therapist. Why do you think that is and what should I do?
#katiFAQ I recently tried to come off my anti depressants because I thought I was feeling really GOOD, and out of my depression. My psychiatrist recommended halving my high dosage to do so, a week later I feel as unstable and depressed as ever. Will I have to live dependant on pills for the rest of my life?
I often have the hallucination that things are crawling on me- normally when I'm extremely anxious and depressed. That's the first time I've ever heard of someone else having this experience! #katiFAQ is it common for people with eating disorder, ocd, etc to have hallucinations?
Its kinda funny cause my previous therapist used to tell me to text her whenever i had thoughts or urges of SH or even more serious acts. Most of the times she responded after hours (i.e. I texted her in the morning and she wouldnt reply till late evening) which was too late most of the times. She used to say that if she responded immediately she would "feed" my need for attention. In the end after 8 months and me getting attached to her she decided that she does not work with suicidal and sh patients. It left me petrified and hard to trust anyone else given that she was my first therapist
#katifaq. Hi kati, will my therapist know that I am not being completely honest. It is hard for me to talk and I don't even know how I feel. My feelings seem to be non existent. I am going to write it down and give it to her. Will she think that is weird?
I asked the same question a few weeks ago to Kati on twitter. She suggested to write lists, letter or even to see if our therapist will accept emails. Just do what you need to do to open up! Best of luck :)
Thank you. I was wondering that, but how does that fit into a pregnancy, since pregnancies last nine months on average? I read about all these women instantly "recovering" for their future babies, and it makes no sense to me that anorexia can be turned off just like that. Also, I get tactile hallucinations, but can't prove they're not from discarnate entities. Maybe I will never know.
How do I know if I have an ednos? I restrict a lot and there's days I don't eat and days I only eat I don't know what to do or how I'm supposed to cope. I self harm if I eat too much should I tell my therapist and will she tell my parents?
She won't tell you're parent's, They are sworn to confidentiality, and I think you should defiantly tell her, or maybe hint at it, and talk about it fully on your own time?
Bhey Kati I am struggling with sever scratching it has gotten to the point where I bleed. But, my therapist doesn't seem to recognize my struggle what can I do to get her to recognize my struggle.
#katifaq kati I've had the sensation of bugs on me after certain triggers is it just to do with my past memories and that's it? Also I feel dirty at that time. And also I've had dreams I call "screaming abb dabs" where I'm pinned down to my bed by a figure and it says it's going to F**K me I get scared and it's very vivid I wake screaming. The other night I felt someone get into my bed and woke screaming! Is this just because of my past and normal? I don't have pyscosis and have told my doctor who thinks it's fine it's just my past???? I don't know if you'll get to answere this but it's okay ill plod on. Xoxo

Can I just say her brows are always so nice
I like Kati when she swears more. Is it just me?
Yeah, she's so cute and sweet, when I first heard her do it, I was like, omg, lol.

Going through the same exact thing with my ed
I'd love a video on attachment and how to deal with dismissive attachment in adulthood.
OMG! I love that quote!!!
I sent you that journal topic yay!!! You used it

That journal topic reminds me of Augustas Waters ;(
Thats the thing about pain it demands to be felt..

so the few days I spent feeling like my house had been replaced by an exact copy of my house, does that make me crazy?
I'm still going through the rain but the rainbow is close!! :)
