I've had arfid for around 8ish years now. Starting in my teens and now going into my early twenties. Didn't know I had it for about the first 4 years until I went and saw a nutritionist for a bit a couple years back. I got a bit better with trying a few things every now and eating a bit more and it was decent for a while and while I was mainly eating the same thing and amounts it wasn't horrible. But lately probably around the last few months or so I've gotten so much worse.

My afrid mostly came from me having horrible mental health and family issues which led to me having depression and not eating at all. My mental health has been fine, it's probably the best it's ever been in years, so I don't think that has anything to do with it. But i'm just so sick and tired of food. I hate every day having to eat and there's nothing that I ever want. I had some safe foods that I was mainly switching up every few days but now I'm so tired of it all and I don't know what else to eat and the thought of starting over trying anything else just makes me feel awful.

I know that arfid is one ED that won't like fully go away but has anyone overcome something like this? To get to a point where I can at least be comfortable with more foods? I feel like it's all pointless and i'm so lost again. What can I do? I just wanna give up

My boyfriend has quite a lot of body pain and a bit of chronic pain. This is something he's had since he was about a teenager and the only thing that helps is getting massages but he doesn't have the time or money to afford getting them often at all. He has it mostly all over but the pain is mainly in his back and neck.

I've tried giving him 'massages' before but he's a bit bigger and while I'm also a guy I'm unfortunately not that strong at all so he doesn't feel much when I do it. Are there any types of techniques that I could learn that would help him? Things I could use, any good videos out there or what type of massages that focus more on chronic pain? Anything would be so helpful.

Ordered something off of Target last week and I knew that this item was going to take longer than the typical two days as it's coming from across the country.

I've only gotten one update from the day it was ordered saying they scanned it and that it is. It said it was supposed to be here today or tomorrow yet there is absolutely nothing. I've had issues before with usps tracking being slow but not to this extent.

Is this normal for it not to update? If I don't get it by the due date how long should I wait before making some sort of complaint?

I cannot stand finding t shirts nowadays for this exact reason. I'm a trans guy. I'm not that short but I'm really thin. The only shirts that I like that helps somewhat with my dysphoria are band tee's or shirts with logos on them. The width is fine but every shirt I've ever gotten goes way down and I'm so sick of having to tuck in every single shirt that I buy. I tried looking for women's sizes as well and even those are long.

Is there any places that you guys shop online/in person that you've found not horribly long clothing. I know hemming is an option but I don't know how to do that. Hot Topic is like the only store with decent sizes but most of their shirts are pretty ugly. I just want short shirts
