Hi! I hope this post doesn’t violate any rules, and if so, feel free to redirect me, thank you.

I’m getting a kitten in a few weeks, and I want to name him something inspired by CM. Any name suggestions?

So far I am considering naming him Spence, but I’m not sure if that’s a good cat name? lol. What’s your thoughts?

He’s a boy, and grey with stripes!

tw: might be a sensitive topic, no numbers

I’ve always been a very active kid, did a sport I absolutely loved (floor-ball) for years until I was put on bed rest due to my anorexia.

It’s been three years and I’d really like to start working out (especially running) again, but don’t know how to do it in a healthy way. I’m currently going on 20 minutes walks every other day. I really don’t want working out to turn into a disordered habit, so I’d really appreciate any advice.

I’m still classified as UW, and should be careful. I’m aware that working out is not a good idea, but i want to start slowly so my body gets used to it. I know I’ll never recover from this disorder if I’m doing what the doctor wants me to: eat a lot to gain weight to a healthy BMI then start working out.

After years of trying that exact method and constantly relapsing, I think gaining muscle rather than fat would help me in the long run, and that’s why I need to start slowly working out now so that I can gain healthy weight. That is also very scary though.

I’m rambling, sorry! If you’ve ever been put on bed rest and were not allowed any workouts for a while, how did you start introducing workouts into your life again, in a healthy way??

Hi! I’m not sure if I’m using the right flair or if this sub is even open for these questions but I’ll try.

I’m writing a letter for my teacher that has helped me through this school year, and that I’ll miss a lot.

We have bonded through our love for Criminal Minds and throughout the year I’ve binged all 18 seasons, so we’ve been discussing it and talking about it a lot.

I’m not very creative but I really want to mention Criminal Minds somehow in this letter. Her favorite character is Penelope and Spencer. Does anyone have any idea for funny quotes or suggestions?

a big fear of mine (20F, anorexia nervosa) is eating in public because I don’t want to be perceived by strangers, especially in food settings. i’m scared strangers secretly think I don’t deserve to eat.

a few weeks ago i decided to challenge myself and eat dinner with a friend of mine at Subway. subway has for some reason always been a safe food of mine (veggie delight sub :p) and it went okay, until two men walked past us (we were sitting outside because of the warm weather) and started slowing down while staring at our food and saying “damn subway.. looks good haha ..” and continued walking.

i know this is not a big deal for most people, and the two men were not saying anything negative, but my eating disorder can’t get this out of my head. this situation really proved my “irrelevant” fear of strangers perceiving what i eat (which I’ve been working on in therapy, the therapist says that no strangers would care, which is not true anymore) and have an opinion of what i eat.

how can i ever eat in public again after this?? i feel so weak for having such an intense response to something so harmless

I tried 50mg of Seroquel last night, were still not able to fall asleep until two hours had passed and woke up super early and couldn’t fall back asleep, got a total of 5 hour sleep and had nightmare of me committing lol. I just don’t know how to relax my fucking body and stop thinking. Felt more dizzy than tired from the medication.

I’ve been really hesitant to start the medication as I have an eating disorder and am terrified of the side effect of increased hunger, but I’m really struggling with sleep lately and tried. My allergy meds to help sleep is not working anymore.

How long did it take for your body to adjust to the medication? How can I make it more efficient? Stronger dosage and how long before bed do you usually take it? I took it around 30 minutes before I went to bed.
