I think it is a part of being a perfectionist unfortunately. Letting go of some of those rituals is hard work, but you can absolutely do it! <3 Progression Obsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07731921488035095856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994608397400149752.post-25762346220285571652013-06-15T19:19:58.900-07:002013-06-15T19:19:58.900-07:00No, it isn't their fault at all...

I always thought that people needed to understand in order to be supportive but I've been proven wrong. :)Progression Obsessionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07731921488035095856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994608397400149752.post-52652870462171662122013-06-14T10:20:36.182-07:002013-06-14T10:20:36.182-07:00I have learned that when people don't have the...I have learned that when people don't have the same experience, they simply don't get it. They might understand what I describe, but they would right back to ask me, "why is it so difficult to choose what to eat? You eat what you like!" I have experienced this over and over, and now I know that they just don't get it. People get serious about me only when I get sickly skinny, and so I might have even tried to be skinnier to convince the others for my disease.<br /><br />I feel amazed to see people who eat healthy salad one day, and eat burger with fries next day.... ???? I don't understand people who just realized that they forgot to eat a cup of yogurt....? For me, it is totally a structure.... very much like ritual...<br /><br />I am realizing that for my case, I have been OBSESSED about MYSELF. I have almost always felt tat something is wrong with me. If I then fix it, which is MYSELF, things would be OK. Then, since I have an addictive personality (which has been developed somehow), it dances together. Being a good girl inside and out, I would pick foods to do, being healthy and cleaning eating... That sounds right. It's hard to explain how my mind works... and only people who have the same mentality get it. That's good enough for me. I am not alone, I know now. xoxo artytechhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18023746097803453938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994608397400149752.post-15563217865871011602013-06-14T09:28:11.350-07:002013-06-14T09:28:11.350-07:00Gosh, i have felt that same feeling of hurt when m...Gosh, i have felt that same feeling of hurt when my mum doesnt "get" what i am feeling... and it makes me feel worthless and horrible and i have to convince myself that it isnt HER FAULT. she just doesnt have that same mentality as me... and i guess that makes it very hard for some people to support ED sufferers. But sometimes it helps just to know that she is THERE. ive told her she mustnt try to fix me, cos she cant! and my D gets angry at her lacklustre attempts to "understand". But holding strong against our own issues helps us to see that everyone is different and therefore we must be compassionate to everyones feelings, regardless of whether we understand or not. :)Clemmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079827274904770477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7994608397400149752.post-30463293346002517932013-06-14T08:36:46.788-07:002013-06-14T08:36:46.788-07:00That is a huge step, to realize we all have our ow...That is a huge step, to realize we all have our own problems, and that you won't "Get" everyone's and not everyone will "get" yours. It is all about mutual respect, compassion and understanding. No one's problems are any worse than anyone else's and pity parties are usually woefully unattended, so embrace who you are, flaws and all, and help others to do the same :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
