@AuntGlow gut issues need to be treated because they are a barrier. I'm taking supplements and not trying to push myself too much with food. If I push, the risk of my ED getting worse is high. My diet is far from adequate, especially with my increased physical activity. I may be eating better than before, but I have also become more physically active and my body is struggling to keep up. Can't say too much on here, my body is under stress. I still have exercise intolerance and I push through even when I am not meant to. I think it would be best to work with a dietician who specialises in EDs.
I am still drinking matcha morning and early afternoon, it helps me feel better. I've been off coffee, I used to take a tiny amount but it was irritating my stomach. I'm taking saffron extract supplements now. The extract has been shown to have antidepressant properties and help with ADHD symptoms in the literature. I hope you are doing well

@GezzaP nicotine withdrawal is real. I haven't ever used nicotine, but have seen it play out in my extended family. I have used something else to cope with the emotional pain, and I still crave it, just don't have access to it anymore. I don't know if anyone will agree to give me access to it now. My psychiatrist thought it was too risky, especially with my bipolar. Bipolar and ADHD can make people more vulnerable to developing addictions
I hope you slept well last night
💖
