Struggled with anorexia off and on since i was 13, really bad time with it in my late 20s. Now I'm 34.

Had some minor surgery 6 weeks ago, toenail removal on both feet. Lost the ability to walk much and hit the gym. Noticed a shift in how I felt in my body, how it looked.

I've been back at the gym for 2 weeks now and feeling horrible, like weak and not able to do anything. It's amplifying how I feel.

Gross and ugly and disgusting and... Big.

I chose to try and recover in 2020 summer, and I feel like for a long time I wasn't bothered by these kinds of thoughts anymore. Activity was my driving force. But since having that stripped away temporarily I feel so gross. I don't know what else to do to feel better in myself and it seems like the only option I have left now.

I don't know, I just feel alone and afraid and like I was right the first time round when I had anorexia. What I traded it for doesn't work anymore. It hurts.

Please just looking for advice. This is destroying my mental health. Dyspraxia and adhd combined I feel like I'm so worthless and afraid to try anything or even pretend to be confident. Everyone tells me I need to just have the right mindset and not be put off by mistakes but how do you have the right mindset when you sometomes just can't DO stuff

Literally nothing feels right, everything feels like it's new and alien, and because of the crappy motor skills and retention I can't lift anywhere near as heavy.

I hate this so much. Not only does it ruin my mental health is ruins my physical health too.

What's the actual point in bothering trying anymore?

Front bottom teeth chronically inflamed. What else can I do?

I have had chronic and unrelenting gingivitis and gum recession on the front 8 bottom teeth for the last 1-2 years now. I must be doing something wrong, because no matter what it comes back within a month of a scale and polish. I am consistently getting inflammation in these spots, along with a lot of tartar.

Currently I brush twice a day with a sonicare electric, floss once at night, and use dentyl mouthwash. My routine order is floss - mouthwash - brush. I am trying my best to brush at the gum line at an angle but always the same 8 teeth at the front bottom end up sore and inflamed and covered in plaque, primarily at the back of the teeth.

I do have a bit of crowding, but more importantly I have a really narrow and small jaw. At this point thanks to the recession I am incredibly sensitive on these teeth and worry I am brushing too hard with the sensation that brushing causes.

I wear a soft mouth guard at night on the bottom teeth to prevent grinding and clenching, which I wash daily with water and soap as per my dentists instruction. The only coincidental event with the increase in inflammation is that this got worse after I started wearing it.

While I don't see any noticable bleeding in the sink or on my toothbrush, my mouth guard leaves what looks like dried blood residue on the case sometimes.

I'm at a loss and not sure what else to do, and whenever I have approached my dentist or hygienist about the issue, they don't seem too concerned right now, but do comment that there is a bit of buildup every time I visit. At this point I see the hygeinist every 3 months, and occasionally the dentist between those time periods complaining of inflammation and pain.

I do not smoke or drink. I'm female mid 30s and did not have this issue in my teens or 20s, when I had even worse hygiene care.

My phone is the Sony Xperia 10 iii, I've had it for quite some time now and it's done me well considering some battery issues!

Today it's finally decided to start giving up, and only charges properly when off. Otherwise it slow charges or discharges with a cable.

Wondering if anyone knows any similar models in size? The 6 inch screen and thin width are priorities for me.

I swear I learn and memorise certain movements or motor skills and... I always just seem to 'lose' how to do them. They suddenly don't come out right and I can't remember why, or figure out why they're not working.

Is this dyspraxia, or an adhd thing

I am so tired of it, I feel so depressed

I'm 19 days post surgery and it's not at all what I've expected. I've had a minor infection and delayed healing. The pain is very up and down and the inflammation has been pretty intense.

Just finished a course of antibiotics and I'm still throbbing and sore on one of my toes.

Was it like this for anyone else? Is the pain fluctuating and feeling intense normal? At the minute I'm monitoring carefully to make sure the infection doesn't come back and with the pain and redness it's making me worried. (don't worry, I'll reach out to professionals if things worsen)

I managed to squirrel the funds for a private diagnosis but could not afford private meds.

The NHS are still behind in my area (Central Scotland). It's been 4 years and I'm still another away apparently, when I called to ask. My understanding is that titration also takes months if not longer in the NHS?

I'm feeling hopeless. I am so tired of having to fight my brain.

Hello! I had full avulsion of both big toenails witg chemical treatment (phenol) 10 days ago. I'm a bit worried as I'm still in pain?

I'm also experiencing bleeding still, but it's noticeably slowed down, and a lot of inflammation.

I'm a bit of a worry wart, and I'll be calling the podiatry team when they open again on Monday, just wanted to see other people's experiences with the healing process! I feel like I'm not meant to be so sore at this point? I'm still hobbling if I try to walk

Basically the title.

When I have work I manage to get myself through it. I sleep better. I function better. But my senses are always on fire and I am exhausted all the time.

I've had 2 weeks off after toenail surgery. Naturally I expected this to unsettle me because it's really sore. It is, but I'm reacting the exact same as I do when I take holiday time...

My senses get even worse, I require frequent sensory free time in a dark quiet room. I tire out incredibly quickly. I'm more prone to meltdowns and handling tasks seems far too difficult.

Is this normal? Being able to brute force mask and cope so well that when you rest, you realise you're not as high functioning as expected?

I personally don't like the system for it and how it's used.

What are your thoughts?

(before anyone comes in bashing me, I've had them myself, but I think the process is broken and weird)

I am unmedicated and unfortunately it's gonna stay that way until the NHS catches up to me on the waiting list.

I've just had some surgery and I'm stuck bored as hell. Can't focus on the things I WANT to do nevermind anything else! Normally I manage some of my 'issues' like focus by going for a walk or lifting weights but right now it just ain't possible because I'm sitting with my feet bandaged and elevated.

Anyone got any other methods they've used that might work? I just wanna have fun and I can't even do that. I start reading or a game and my brain legitimately just begins to wander off into... Nothingness? Not even proper thoughts just goes away from whatever I'm doing. It is so soul destroying.

And yep, I've tried caffiene! Doesn't do much for me unless I take way too much then I just get hyper AND unfocused.

Edit: No more 'phone down' comments thank you. Haven't been on it for a couple hours minding my own business. No need to swear at me either

I am in a really low miserable headspace right now

Why bother trying anything anymore
