ok the attack

There’s no way she just clocked my tea within the first 2 seconds😂

I’m so sad because these stories are so inspirational but food has always consumed my life and my brain since I was maybe 11. I don’t know that I’ll ever recover. I want to live and choose recovery but it doesn’t even feel like an option and I don’t know how and I don’t know where to even begin. I’m not small enough for my food obsession to be taken seriously by medical professionals but it takes such a toll on my mental health. I never feel good enough. I don’t know what to do.

Black cotton shirt brigade!

Good show 👍

Cool pjs sam

In the US if you say you're buzzen, then that means your high or drunk lol!

Thanks for the warning but I feel just fine despite what I do. I have loads of energy. So why would that bother me? But I didn't come here to encourage it either. I understand the struggle.

I though it was normal for one's sẹxual attraction to fluctuate, is there a difference? Is that not actually normal? Sometimes, I enjoy sẹxual interactions, sometimes its more meh, and sometimes its genuinely repulsing. Is that not normal/typical with allosexual people?

I'm a pure blood Ravenclaw . 🙂💙🦅

Babes you're aegoromantic and aegosexual, I am too :D

I feel so sorry for Tracy

We say “areeet?” in Gloucestershire too. We’re not far away are we 😂

Thank you for sharing your story so openly. I am very proud of you. This is an older post so hope you are doing okay. Im currently studying to be a emotional wellbeing coach for kids and teens and I find these videos really educational and inspiring x

Bro called me out

Hell yeah slytherin girl like me woohoo ❤

I loved your book! It really helped and using it as inspo for writing my next project. (Cupioromantic)

Things which makes carbs into bodyfat: 1) polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, 2) flax seed, 3) undereating, diets 4) high fat diet in long term, 5) soy, 6) very high protein diet, 7) low carb diet, 8) stress, 9) most herbs in higher quantities permanently used. 10) low potassium (lack of fruits, vegetables), 11) plastics (packaging and so on). I want to add that when carbs get converted to fat, people get also a light form of dementia. Proteins get converted into carbs and then into fat under above mentioned circumstances. Alcohol and other addictions rise from inability to use carbs or lack of carbs. If the carbs do not get converted into fats or into energy, then you get diabetes and high blood sugar. If you dont eat at least 1 pound/0,5 kg carbs a day, your body might be eating in one month 2,2 pounds/ about 1 kg of your own flesh (proteins) and would turn those proteins into carb (Minesota starvation experiment). The body takes proteins from your heart, liver, skin, joints, muscles etc. and turns them into carb. Naturally those organs will get sick.

Some people have an amazing ability to express very firm opinions while at the same time revealing how little they understand of the subject matter.

where can i got this tall figure of draco? also what is it called posable maybe?

Please don’t post your sick body in the thumbnail…

I like how one of the arguments against the A being ace is that they don't want hetero's overwhelming the community, then they decide it means Ally. About 1% of the population are ace and not all of us are even hetero but by definition ally's are always hetero and I think (well, hope) they make up well above 1% of the population.

Aro-ace vent !! So its 2am and I was really hungry so I went downstairs and my mom let me have some food. While I ate, i complained about my ex, and she recommended me to tell my ex (basically he keeps harassing me about getting back together) that I am asexual, I thought it might be a nice time to come out to her, (as Aro-ace) and she told me I was wrong, confused, and the label I was comfortable with was silly and unnatural. She brought up that she was a-phobic, and I "just haven't really found serious love yet." She reminded me I've had many crushes in the past, and have been girl crazy. " I don't understand that sh#t, you can't just take yourself out of the dating pool. Its selfish, All humans have love, they just don't understand who yet." She kept telling me about how she's my mom, and she knows me better than I do. I identify with the cupioromantic label (she\her) and lesbian Have a good day💙

I’m currently writing a book where both of the main characters are dating and on the ace spectrum. The girl mc is fully ace and bi-grayromantic. The other is demisexual and panromantic. Thing is, I’m fully aromantic. Also ace, but that isn’t as big of a deal to me. It’s really hard for me to figure out the pacing.

The test is nonsense

Hey! to everyone who is asexual due to trauma, there is actually an orientation for that called caedsexual!! I used to identify with it for a long time before i settled for caedaroace Hope this helps ^__^

I love your blonde hair with the blue lipstick u should be a happi I think that u give off a tapestries bong vibe lol

I cant even sit down long enough to study for my driver test im at a healthy wieght tho and I eat as much as I want but I can't sit still

I’m late to this video obviously but in a way I’m happy I got to learn about Jughead through this entire situation I read the 2017 Jughead comics a while back and I’ve never adored a cast of characters as much as I did with them! :)

Hi Sam, I know this video is 4 years old, but you don't seem to have a recovery video less than 3 years old, so I'm commenting this here. I am so glad I watched this video from my Recommended. Never seen your channel before this. I was worried that watching yet another AN story would trigger me, but for some reason I thought this one would be safe. And it was...as well as being extremely encouraging!!! My own ED history goes back five years to 2019, when I had symptoms of Orthorexia for a year then recovered from that through purely being fed up with being addicted to macronutrient- and calorie-counting, then on-and-off had symptoms of Atypical AN (OSFED), then I was diagnosed with ADHD, severe clinical depression, [and a reading disability] at the end of 2022. My AN mindset and restrictive behaviours continued until last year (2023) June, when I went to Hungary on internship for two months and had major oversleeping/fatigue issues, although I was back to the disordered overeating. My sleep issues in Hungary accidentally lost me a ton of weight, and when I got home in early August and stepped on the scale/truly stared in the mirror, I was elated. This triggered what I believe to be legitimate AN, until this year January (2024). Because I'd already tried every ED trick under the sun during my years of OSFED symptoms, and the tricks didn't seem to work for me, I used my sleep issues to continue down the path of self-destruction. (Btw, I wasn't ever diagnosed with OSFED nor AN, because I didn't get help. I refused to see my GP to get a physical/bloodwork done since high school, because I hated my larger body in adulthood once I had a say in my medical care). In January, I decided to start telling my trusted close circles about my issues with body image and eating enough, because I didn't want them to say anything and force me into treatment. Pretty soon, I came around to the idea of actually, legitimately recovering, instead of being in and out of either restrictive ED behaviour/mindset or disordered emotional overeating for years. After a couple months of trying to recover on my own, I realised I couldn't do so without medical advice/intervention, since I was still losing weight (and increasingly concerned about it). In March, my psychologist at the time referred me to an ED-specialised psychologist, seeing that he couldn't offer me the level of care I needed: my physical health was becoming life-or-death. Soon, the next month (after telling my dad [who's a GP] my story, and him agreeing that I need to see a Registered Dietitian [RD] *stat*), I started to see the ED-specialised psychologist and found a RD who provides outpatient treatment for EDs. Now, it is nearing the end of May, and I am still losing body fat [I've lost basically all of my muscle], because 1. I still sleep too much and don't really know how to reset my circadian rhythm, and 2. I don't want to get Refeeding Syndrome from weight-restoring too quickly. I've been seeing my ED-specialised psychologist and RD for a number of weeks, and this week I am seeing my GP to discuss ADHD meds and book a physical and bloodwork. I am much more apprehensive of the physical than the bloodwork, as I am fine with needles but I don't want my GP to assess me and immediately recommend that I go inpatient at a hospital. So, we'll see how that goes. Healing my physical and mental illness(es) seems to be going slower than I'd hoped, but I'm staying hopeful that I will eventually beat my [undiagnosed restrictive ED]! One thing that I try hard to do (besides journalling) is filling my mind with pro-recovery concepts whenever I get triggered and the ED thoughts come on. I have a list of reasons I want to recover, so I try to remind myself of those, as well as of the reasons I don't want to relapse (Exhibit A: inpatient treatment)!

Wow. Too be honest I’ve watched more of these videos than I can even count, and this is by far the least triggering and the most informative. I can’t relate enough

Love your style ❤

Pretty sure i’m greysexual and greyromantic. I’m rarely attracted to anyone sexually or romantically but it’s not demi since I can be attracted to strangers without knowing them. For anyone confused about romantic and sexual attraction i’ve put what these feelings feel like to me (everyone experiences these feelings differently) As for romantic attraction, for me it feels like the person is too good to be true and it feels like when you’re a kid and the world feels like such a magical place whenever you think about them or are around them. Even when you feel sad or depressed you still feel like you have that spark in your personality. Things like hobbies and interests such as listening to music feel 10x better and more exciting when around or thinking of that person. As for sexual attraction it feels like more of an urge like if you’re really hungry and want to eat something and you see something really nice and you’re like “i would love to eat that, looks so nice”.

My sex drive completely shut off after the traumatic breakup from my ex. I've been trying to figure it out but I think it's because she was the person I actually truly loved & I really did give her my heart. When she left & especially after she started dating I completely lost all sexual feelings. It's too painful for me to engage in any type of sexuality now, & I do mean any kind. Most people find that impossible given I'm male & they don't get it but I've tried to explain to them. I think personally it's because she was my first real love & she was also the first person I ever really made love to. And once she left me I felt completely rejected & it just shut that part of me down. Some people thought it was only temporary but it's been over two years & there's no sign of anything changing. I don't get aroused anymore, I don't feel any attraction to anyone anymore & I even get really anxious & start having a panic attack whenever I experience an erection. It's a VERY unpleasant experience. Fortunately, it doesn't happen often anymore. I've kind of settled into it. The only problem is I don't want to be alone. I'd love to fall in love again but I just can't fathom ever having sex with anyone else ever again. As a result I've been identifying as asexual & raomantic for about a year now. The biggest problem I have now is I still have to interact with my ex because we share a child. So, I am constantly seeing her be happy in her new relationship & I'm still incredibly devastated & heartbroken. But I have to put on a happy face for my son's sake. The whole experience has & is the most traumatic experience of my life. And I'm so tired of it. But there's nothing I can do except suffer in silence. It's brutal.

Thanks

Band shirts and Animal prints are my type of style 😊

Scottish people are the friendliest , i lived in south wales for 24 years they are friendly but not as much as the scottish. Its a well known fact around the world.

Wish these books in finnish too.

Asexual means you can reproduce on your own. Fungai, frogs for example. It is literally impossible for a human to be asexual.

I'm a Asexual and a Antinatalist.

I came out to my dad by accident but while he was great, he encouraged me to come out to my mother... Big mistake! Apparently I'm pretty bad at keeping it a secret though because my former teacher found out I was ace before I even knew that ace was a thing, just by me talking about my female friends' relationships to said teacher, next day she came with an magazine article I should read about Asexuality. Still don't understand how she figured it out. Funfact I think my extended family thinks I'm gay and I'm just waiting to see how long it's going to take before they finally ask. Most of the bad stuff I've heard is only online though, other then my mom going full ace Erasure on me, Everyone offline I've told has been really nice about. And yeah I've had guys wanting to date me even when I showed no interest, and while I'm not Aro, I don't date people who are not either ace or grey ace. There are hormone pills some take if they feel they're missing sex and want to have sex but just don't feel it in bed, pretty sure it wouldn't even apply to people who can masterb. if they wanted to, like I could. The "can you love" one is funny, I've never heard that before... But I'd say if I had been aro, I still love my parents so that one is pretty strong. Oh I've heard the "men can't be ace" by my Mon before, apparently if I looked for a boyfriend it would be impossible because Men can't be ace.🙄

I like your video. It is so helpful.♥️ I have been struggling my whole life and thought something was wrong with me. I was never so interested in dating and looking for partners. Until I realised I was on Aro Ace spectrum and it is completely normal and valid. 🧡💛🤍💙💜

Thank you for having the courage to share this story. For me this seems like demi-romanticism and demi-ace so I feel you could still identify as aro-spec and ace-spec if you wanted to. But if the labels bring you nothing it's of course fine to drop them too.

I haven’t been interested in sex for over two years just for the simple fact that I don’t want to deal with men bc of trauma.

Aromatic Asexuality is one of the coolest sexualities out there

POV: You know you're queer when you get only 3% Heterosexual 😂🏳️‍🌈

I'm from Norfolk my partner is from Liverpool we both live in Bristol

I think Matthew Perry after reading his book about having a fender companion.

Just wanted to take a moment to send you love. Thank you for all that you do and for your vulnerability.
