I have BPD and Anorexia. Even though I was told I can’t have both. This means that I can’t get treatment for my Anorexia!

Is anxiety chemical? Is anorexia anxiety, at its root? Does anxiety grow and possibly morph into anorexia? depending on circumstances. AN looks to me like whirling Dervish, can’t stop. Is that chemical? Individual’s subconscious messaging, mute, ineloquent, “See me, stop me. Help me.” Unable to ask that her needs be met-including-firm guidance for doing hard things. I don’t want to take the awful tasting medicine. “But-you must, and I’m here to help you do what you must. Trust me, rest from hyper vigilance, trust me this is exactly right, enough and not too much. Trust me. Rest.” Anxiety, AN, wants ALL options available, e.g. do eat, don’t eat, eat only this, or even medical assistance in dying. Anorexia wants all options open but a symptom of AN is apparent indecision. And indecision looks like a decision to refuse treatment. (Stop me. Help me. I can’t do it, not on my own). Does this sound true?

Functions of parts of brain, interesting. A theory, ppl with AN are self-regulating-born with high serotonin, ie anxiety. But unknown (is what I read) is it causation or coincidence?, people with anorexia have high serotonin. Logical is that, Consuming food raises serotonin raises anxiety. Restricting decreases serotonin, decreases anxiety. Anxiety and depression, on a continuum, a function of a person’s serotonin level-too little serotonin means depression. Is there info that says, restricting reduces serotonin reduces anxiety makes a person stuck in a loop?

DBT is incredible! :)

Blah blah

Just i am never hungry.

Both people in this guided imagery session sound like they are in a hurry an just want to get this done with asap

This is read surprisingly fast for something that specifically uses imagery if things moving or doing something “slowly”.

This! 🙏🏼

I have ARFID, I think. I was a very picky eater since I was so young. And I hate some textures, which will make me scream with disgust when I see those food and stuff. Is that included like, in this eating disorder?

I just learned that I have ARFID after 3 years of struggling... I just want to beat this

Please help me... sigh

Thank you for doing these videos, they are excellent and really helpful. I'll be sharing them because lots of people will benefit from them!

Thank you though

I would have like it better if he was talking in a slow lazy way he spoke a bit quick like it had to get done lol

Thank you so much I've learned alot with this explanation!

i was a patient there and it’s honestly such an amazing program! i’ve been recovered for almost 2 years!

I think anorexics are just susceptible to diet trends of the time. It's more a psychological/sociological thing than a physical aversion. Keto is a big trend amongst them now.

Thank you so much I actually lost a friend due to Covid in this is actually really helping thank you sooo much

Thank you! I am learning DBT although it is hard because of covid. But I was in a php program and we just touched on radical acceptance. You both have helped me tremendously to understand it better. Thanks again. I love your videos.

I have been a DBT therapist for almost twenty years. I loved both of your thoughts and teaching especially with regard to the current covid situation. Your examples and hope completely comes through and those consumers in your groups are lucky to have you two!

BAHAHAHAHAHAH Its difficult for you to eat that much but honey we anorexics know how to eat!!!!!!!!!

Is it really a good idea to exercise during recovery and how for example? (Anorexia) or would you recommend to stop? Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video! One of my goals is to Radicaly Accept.

Hi I had a question I have been staying home for a month and 2 weeks I have hypochondria and it’s been really hard for me to cope with it these past couple of days I’ve been having headaches every night and I searched up covid symptoms and one was a headache and I looked up the other symptoms and it made my anxiety strike dramatically bc I’ve been feeling really anxious and it caused so many other symptoms. I’m worried if I can have covid or is this just my anxiety?

No no, anorexics don’t prefer sweets any more than any other group of people. When you’re not getting enough glucose, you naturally crave sweet foods. Like violently. You brain remembers that long after. As for fat? That’s more complex. Certain fats give me nervous stomach. I don’t have a fear of fat, but I have strict rules about it. Like fat and carbs need to never touch. MAYBE I’d eat fruit with fish on occasion. But am I afraid of the fish? Not at all. It’s a very specific system. Not a fear of fat, exactly. I think the fear of fat was seen historically because of the myth that fat causes fat and carbs help you lose weight. Now that we have dissolved that myth, you may see patients shift to fat and protein and vegetables. I’d watch kidneys going forward honestly... Ketosis is a major win. As soon as I realized that worked, this makes up a bulk of what I do eat. I haven’t eaten pasta in ... god five, six years? Won’t go near it. So I don’t think you’ll see restriction patterns change, but the enemy foods may begin to shift a bit. Veggies are always number one love of course. That won’t ever change. Just my input

I'm a binge eater, hate it. ate 3 apples, 3-4 bananas, 1/2 small watermelon, 2 beef patties, 1/2 tub cottage cheese, little 100% cocoa, 1 cucumber. probably something else to, I was disgusted with my self. back on my omad diet today, coffee w cream, 2 eggs, powdered vegan drink with flaxseeds, 1 cup broth , water til tomorrow. I feel better, emotionally, but got a headache & leg muscle twitches, weird. but I'm going to try and not binge anymore!

I'll tell you how anorexics eat virtually nothing for years; they're starving and need to lose weight.

Are you really questioning if it is a disorder? You're a medical doctor aren't you?

Thanks for the information UCSD. Whatever the origin of anorexia nervosa it affects the brain in a serious, longterm manner. Food is my enemy and I truly believe that. My metabolism has slowed down so much that I eat virtually nothing and don't lose much weight. Grrrr...

Forget about eating. Caloric intake? Ha! Not me, thank you.
