Hi! My name is James, I’m 17. Most of what I talk about online revolves around Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD).
Thank you for saying that, I am feeling a bit better now ☺️.
Ooh that sounds good I think I might try listening to them.
Wow I find it so hard to mediate but I love mindfulness. It’s been too hot lately but sitting outside staring into space feels super nice.
How long did you meditate for?
Woo! That’s really nice to hear! You’re really lucky haha I remember for me during my first week while my body was getting used to it I was feeling really nauseous and couldn’t sleep lol.
Also like @FlyingSquid@lemmy.world said I agree you should be careful as it is unusual to be feeling better that quickly. There are many reasons that could happen tho, the obvious one is placebo (but who cares really if you’re feeling better); second one is that the desicion to go get antidepressants has had a positive benefit to your life and made you feel like you want to make even more progress, in turn increaseing your happiness; third one is mania (extreme euphoria) which is extremely unlikely, but a dangerous potential side effect of anti-depressants and you probably need to call an ambulance if this happens; and finally fourth one is that it really has just worked extra quickly for you, which is unlikely but not impossible!
So whatever the reason is I’m glad it’s working out for you, just be mindful of your emotions but don’t worry too much as you’ll probably be able to tell if something is seriously wrong.
Good look for the future :)
Yes absolutely. I’ve had a quick look at the site and it seems credible, not to mention I think I’ve heard it recommended before so it sounds like a really good idea to me :) thank you for your input!
It’s so weird how colours seem to matter so much. It’s like lighting as well
Mhm, I don’t know if this happens to you but everyone tells me that my worrisome body part looks completely normal and it makes me think that they must be right but at the same time, when i see it exposed I just look completely different and it’s so confusing.
Also - assuming you want to wear one but feel you can’t - I hope you feel amazing wearing a skirt one day
I’m so glad it’s helped you ☺️. Do you think it would be beneficial or link it in the sidebar of the community?
That’s okay! I hope it might come in useful to you or someone else :).
And thank you so much for taking the time to comment!
Mhm, you might be right. But imo it’s nice to hear about any kind of progress even if it might end up not working because at the end of the day it’s one step closer to finding a cure and ofc that would be amazing.
Also sorry to hear you have Crohn’s btw. I don’t have it but ik someone who does and I know it’s a real pain for eating :(.
Yep! 40mph which feels fast bc you’re really low the ground. Definitely recommend for a fun day out haha.
Yes it did I’m always scared about it fading throughout the day and it’s been nice bc most of the time it doesn’t happen, meaning I feel less anxious about it and also check the mirror less.
