To stop the whining in the aly-surrealrecov thread for MOAR ASH PLIX, I'm making this one. Also hoping the mpa skels from aly thread start to discuss their issues re "fat" people here instead.
Latest news:
Ash is now wearing specs
Ash still posts sickly pink kawaii pics on her tumblr
and…erm…
yeah.
Mental health videos which were her project never happened and her iphone case business went the same way.

"IMPORTANT" PERSONALITIES:
Gia-
https://instagram.com/hypodermicutopia/Ashley's former minion. Wised up to her drama and cut her out of her life. Used to drive her around to buy binge food.
Erika-
https://instagram.com/fluffykittensandbunniesFormer best friend. Wonderful person. Ash flipped out and tormented her with rude anonymous comments and phone calls when she decided to recover from her ED. She's doing quite well despite her struggles and you should all donate to her:

https://instagram.com/joltography/BPD and probable autist. White knight. ED status debated. Gets mad if you mention her dead hamsters, so do it.
Jackie-
http://nevertrustmysmile123.tumblr.com/Mentally challenged woman that Ashley is able to manipulate. Desperate for love and affection. Stupid as hell and incredibly sad. Born in 1979.
Eilish/Sprout-
https://eilisheats.wordpress.com/16-year-old ED girl with severe OCD that Ashley intentionally
triggers. Used to eat precisely 6 brussel sprouts. Recently made the decision to gtfo off of Instagram and work on improving herself. Good luck, Little Sprout!
Jess-
https://instagram.com/jesslikescoffeeAnnoying wannarexic white knight. Pretends to be ~*so disordered*~. Wants an ED so badly it hurts.
Important: Jess does not sell owls.
Neckbeard-
Ashley's creepy lover. Possible Canadian.
Adam- Ashley's bunny. He's ten years old and will outlive Ash.
Yustas- Erika's useless ADHD husband. Total piece of shit.
Rebecca Isaacs- Ashley's mom. In her 50s and has a Five Finger Death Punch tattoo. Waitress. Possible ED.
Peter Pratt- Irrelevant. Not the father.
Michael Isaacs- Ashley's deadbeat father. Useless.

>>146021Your eyes stop changing at around 20 and then people usually go farsighted at middle age.
If Ash's eyes actually changed that much in her 20's something is not right.
Maybe Ash's eyes have always been sort of shitty but she's never bothered getting glasses until now because she wants that look. The optometrist told me I didn't really need glasses (but my vision is not 20/20). I told her I wanted them anyways because my work paid for them and she wrote me a prescription.

No. 146041
>>146024*in each eye
The eye doctor recently told me that eyes are more likely to plateau in middle age in terms of needing glasses for distance, and then the need for reading glasses increases instead.
But you're probably right that she may have needed glasses earlier and never got them until now.
No. 146044
>>146034From everything that we've seen, her children are her life, and she does everything for them. She isn't just ditching them with other people and going off to party, she's taking huge steps to battle her past and get better for their benefit.

I don't fucking get it. She wants to have children and she's dedicated her life to improving theirs. It's not the most ideal circumstance, but she's genuinely trying and sacrificing a lot, which is more than lots of parents can say.
Seriously, if you're going to pick on anyone, pick on those brown people that spread their legs and shit out a bunch of children that they don't take care of to get more money in welfare. Don't pick on the people who are making sincere effort to improve themselves.

No. 146117
>>146074This seems like bait but I'll take it..
Erika can't stay inpatient because she's broke as hell and up to her ears in debt. She can't afford treatment and everytime she goes inpatient she racks up more debt.
And she can't get a job because her physical condition still doesn't allow her to work.
But if you'd actually read her IG you'd know that she is doing her damnest to recover and to make things work for her and her kids. Saying that she needs to "woman up" is downright insulting when she is working her ass off for a better future despite all the odds being against her.
Damn right I mad. Don't talk about things you don't know shit about. She may not be a "perfect angel" but anyone who's capable of basic human empathy can see that she is a good person.
No. 146129
>>146097>>146092Nah, this doesn't seem like Erika. Seems more like a white trash single mom that feels entitled to endless freebees and pat on the backs because she brought some doomed kids into the world so she empathizes with Erika.

>>146129If that's Erika it doesn't sound anything like her writing.
I'm actually a huge fan of Erika, really rooting for her (I posted a link to her fundraiser once and also donated once) but I actually do worry about her kids. I do believe that she was in a better place when she had each one and did not struggle so much financially at that time, but I also think she's a product of severe abuse and was probably not emotionally ready to have a healthy relationship with an adult male, let alone have children. I think that it's clear she is a very loving mother and that's really important, but I also think that because she doesn't have her own shit together she's nurturing an unhealthy codependency on her kids. Notice how she'll say that the oldest will do things to "make her feel better"? That is her kid feeling like she needs to take care of her mom. And as the child of a parent who needed to be "taken care of," I can tell you that that is a situation that will fuck you up a little. Even if the youngest doesn't remember the period of inpatient counseling, both kids will grow up dealing with her patterns of dependent behavior unless she works to correct it now.
Sometimes ya gotta hide your personal shit from your kids. Boundaries, people. Boundaries.

That was narcissistic and disturbing but it was obviously at her rock-bottom and thats the kind of fucked up shit anorexia will make you do. But we kinda have to remember all the fucked up shit Aly and Ash do is because they are still currently in the grip of serious eating disorders themselves, whilst Erika has had the chance to redeem herself. Though I do agree despite her mental health problems she has been a good mother and is a good person, unlike many other members of the ED community.

>>146240It probably helps a lot that she's pretty, but she does seem to have a really kind personality as well. I also like that she doesn't fixate too much on photographing/detailing every single meal she has.
I waiver between thinking her writing is poetic and thinking that is sounds like someone who doesn't natively speak English. I can't tell if it's on purpose or if she just has a poor grasp of syntax/grammar that happens to come out flowery-sounding.
No. 146285
>>146269Erika's pretty, but a lot of people think aly is too. The reason I like Erika is because I like her creativity and she does sound like a kind person. I didn't like her around the time she was on a nosedive and posting body pics which were basically bonespo. Her motivation to recover for real changed that.
She's written before that she writes as though she's brainstorming. Shots of her journals are the same.
I still don't get why she's being brought up here as much though. She IS actually trying and bringing up two children.
I'm not fangirling, I can honestly say I'd support Sprout the same way if she threw herself into treatment. I can't say the same about aly unless she changed that shitty attitude.
No. 146297
>>146024Yeah sorry that is bullshit. There's a reason people who wear glasses need to get occasional checkups and prescription adjustments. It gets progressively worse, for some faster than for others.
>>146269She sounds very Northern European to me. Swedish to be precise. Many people I've met from there have had their grammar almost on point, but you could still see awkward sentence structures, mixing up singular and plural, using the wrong words to clumsily describe something. It would always end up sounding close but no cigar.

Ashley is such a sweet girl, my heart goes out to her. I wish her only the best
She is beautiful in my opinion. Now and before
I just wish she would get help. Yes she sees a 'therapist' but I honestly believe she needs different means of treatment.
FailedAna
Who is this girl a celebrity or? And I don't think GreenTea was rude it's pretty obvious she isn't healthy and needs help. We are all entitled to our options I don't see her as thinspo but Im sure she's a wonderful person and she deserves a better life

RollingGirl
Breaks my heart. She deserves recovery, just like any other eating disorder patient.
ChloeEL
I'm amazed she hasn't been sectioned under the mental health act. Even as an adult when you are a danger to your own life, which she clearly is, you are sectioned whether you want recovery or not
TheBitchGoddess
she looks thinner than a holocaust victim :/
patchworkgirl
i've wondered the same thing myself. this "therapist" she sees can't be all that good if they are literally allowing her to kill herself like this.
don't get me wrong, this is how i've always wanted to end up looking, but it is a total suicide mission & i'm under no illusions about that fact.
she needs to be in a hospital.
quixoticcaustic
I've seen her on tumblr. Someone took over her old URL and made it a hate blog

What the hell? Why would they do that? She's obviously already hurting, fucking dickweeds. I wish her luck, she seems like a sweetheart and it breaks my heart to see people struggle like that, even if it's where she wants to be <3
Detta_Walker
She truly disgusts me. Inside and out.
dilEmma
This is her current Tumblr:
http://shred-my-anxiety.tumblr.com/ She has a pretty lengthy history on the internet. While she is, obviously, very ill, she's also proved herself to be a generally shitty person through her actions towards others. Being sick doesn't make you blameless.
UmmChaCha
Not disputing how sick she is, but she also seems incredibly immature for her age. I have seen her in person about 2 years ago. I should have been struck by her weight, but I wasn't. I was struck by her obvious immaturity while out in public, as that is what actually drew my attention to her.
quixoticcaustic
I've heard she's not a very nice person so I'm not defending her. I think the hate blog is taking it too far though
Detta_Walker
Omg. Was everyone staring at her like wtf?
pb.queen
I used to follow heron instagram, but i've never heard about the things that she's done…
What kind of bad things do you guys mean?
ChloeEL
Anyone that buys her the junk food she has on her Amazon wish list she has had for years is to me constituting to this girls death.
UmmChaCha
Yes, everyone was staring. She seemed to be going out of her way to obtain the stares. She was barely clothed, and was being somewhat loud and obnoxious in her behavior- modeling/posing type of behaviors. I would have smacked one of my kids upside their head if they were behaving like that in public.

Or at least no one was really stopping her from doing so. She was purging even while she was on 24/7 one-to-one observation. She had been sectioned, but she was continuously LOSING weight while inpatient. She said she had lost something like 15 pounds since being admitted and was at her lowest weight ever…I was really shocked. I hope I'm not conflating multiple people's accounts here; it was a while back that I read this, and, like I said, I can't remember who exactly it was. Regardless, I don't understand how "treatment programs" like that even exist. What kind of professionals would just stand by and let people purge in front of them like that?!
I also remember reading someone's description of being in a residential program in the US, and they said that other patients would often just purge in the hallways or outside and shit. Seemed really lax. And pointless.

If you have no Major Trauma, you have no Major Trauma. They are not in the business of creating it for you – what would they have to gain? Castlewood, Mark, Lori, Emily, Sam, Nancy, etc… they all are truly concerned about each individual client and helping them get back on the road to life. If that includes helping you with anxiety, that’s what they do. If that includes working through sexual trauma, they do it. If that includes dealing with past bullying issues, they do it. Nothing is a “just” at CW; there are no comparisons. No one’s past experiences are more worthy of treatment over another’s. “Brainwashing” a client into creating false trauma does not serve them whatsoever.You have to wonder what the point of brainwashing them would be in the first place.
Then again, this place seems a little TOO friendly, they allow phones/laptops so girls can disorderly Instagram all their meals. Hell, they allow DIET soda.

" On the last day of the hearing, Anna took the stand. For many hours, Tom says, she described a litany of traumatic events she claimed to have experienced. But now, she told the room that she had been abused not only by Tom, but by tutors, coaches, babysitters, even policemen. She described, Tom says, being a call girl by the time she left middle school. The memories of it all, she believed, had been hidden inside her alternate personalities. Tom’s lawyer asked her how many of these personalities she possessed. According to Tom, Anna started to list them, but lost count. With each disjointed description of her past, Tom says he increasingly felt like he was staring at a stranger wearing his daughter’s face. He couldn’t stop crying. “My little girl was so sick and so easily and completely dismantled,” he says. After the hearing, Tom says he tallied nearly 100 people whom Anna named as complicit in abusing her throughout her childhood.
The judge concluded that Anna’s testimony was too inconsistent, too contradictory with the other evidence presented, to be credible."

>>148489>>148491I (and, I'm sure, many others) can vouch for this. I've unfortunately experienced several (non-ED-related) psychiatric hospitalizations, and I've witnessed and experienced some pretty fucked-up shit. No one except my own mother believed me, because the people running the show were ~respected experts and professionals~ and they would never, ever do anything like that, ever! I even posted a "review"-type comment online about the most awful treatment facility I was in, and the egomaniacal, control-freak Dear Leader of this cult-like institution responded to me in an extremely patronizing way, denied that anything like what I described could ever have happened, and implied that I was a pathetic, delusional failure for not having been "cured" by her program. Apparently the fact that I had some really serious issues with the program was all my fault and only happened because I was too far gone for them to help me. Too bad, so sad.
To be clear, I'm not schizophrenic, I've never hallucinated or had delusions, and I wasn't alleging that anything really far-out happened, like that I was sexually abused by hundreds of people or forced to take part in satanic rituals. It was more along the lines of professionals blatantly lying to my face, being extremely manipulative, using very inappropriate threats, letting a lot of important shit fall through the cracks, denying me access to medication/care for prior medical issues unrelated to my psych conditions, etc.
Anyway, not my personal blog, no1curr, I know, blah blah blah.

As for the rationale behind Castlewood's "brainwashing," it seems that they're trying to alienate patients from their families, fragment their personalities, and divorce them even further from reality. These tactics would leave the patients vulnerable and suggestible, making them easier to manipulate into joining forces with (or becoming sleeper agents for) the Illuminati.

Pic related made me laugh way too much (is that header new?), and then
>>148979made me want to cry. Erika has been dealt such a lousy hand. It seems really unfair. Why is this shit not happening to Ash or Aly? Granted, Erika's a few years older than either of them, but still…she's come so far and seems to really, really want to recover, as compared to Ash, who I still don't understand how she's even alive.
I knew a young woman a while back who was anorexic and also had to get a lot of her intestines removed, but I think the issue in her case was that she abused laxatives. Not sure if Erika did any of that. This girl I knew was only like 22 or 23. We fell out of contact and I don't even know if she's still alive at this point. I just can't imagine having to deal with something like that (or having a stroke) happen to me at such a young age.

I also know little about UC, but my family member has it. It's not a "severe" case, though, and it's pretty well managed. It does seem odd that suddenly she needs a colostomy, but who knows. Maybe she thought the pain was related to the ED or refeeding?

>>149172The ICU thing's thrown me too. The two units I've visited (UK) were for critical patients and the gravely ill. Most were hooked up to machines, unconscious or in induced comas. There's a pretty sombre atmosphere in there, and visiting times are very strictly regulated.
I can't imagine a child gluing papercraft in one or a patient wearing a wig and make up.
Those units also look very medical and sterile…not sure of the word… whereas the pic of Erika looks like she's in a side ward and I can't imagine being critical one hour and having to have resus, then being fit enough to get dressed, do face and wig and play with child.
No. 149192
>>149172Another thing, over here as soon as you're admitted to a medical ward you hand over your clothes and shoes and have to wear a gown if you haven't brought your own pyjamas or w/e. Yes, they even give you paper knickers if you were brought in without any to change into.
You get your stuff back when you're discharged and they bring it to you in a Property of the NHS green plastic bag (similar to when you're leaving prison) and you get changed into civvy wear.
Unless you're on the psychiatric wards where they force you to dress in day clothes, you have to wear nightgown, pjs, robe. It looks weird how Erika's all glammed up unless she was being discharged.

>>149238IDK, some people's bodies just seem to be able to tolerate that shit more than others. Maybe their ~natural weight~ or ~set point~ or whatever (if that even exists) is lower than that of other people who end up with more complications at higher weights. It is scary, though. I've read stories of people who have died in much less severe conditions than people like Ash, Aly, or pre-recovery Erika.
Some of it has to do with behaviors, like purging and abusing laxatives. "Just" restricting isn't generally as harmful to your body as if you're doing other shit to abuse it as well. But still. There does really seem to be a lot of difference in how people are affected by being underweight/anorexic.

It's obvious she's worked really fucking hard to recover - she's pulled herself back up after being on the brink of death, faced setback after setback and kept on going regardless, and yet the problems (health issues, divorce, crazy family, debt, etc.) just don't stop coming at her. Then you have people like Ashley, who has decided she's too special or whatever to recover and/or she wants to keep starving herself until she's the #1 spoopiest skeleton. She harms other people and doesn't do shit to help herself, and what does she get? Strokes? Seizures? Major surgeries? Nope, she gets to sit around all day being selfish as fuck and getting sent ~*~kawaii presents~*~ from her stupid fucking followers. Erika's in the hospital and she's still thinking about how she's going to get a job to support herself and her kids, and Ash just gets to wallow in self-pity and anime while being supported by her mommy (who I don't believe is nearly the monster Ash claims she is - I'd love to hear HER side of the story).

No. 149803
>>149778I tried, no dates. There's also the possibility that the two photos could indeed have been taken at/around the same time and Erika just chose to upload that second one now. She posts old photos pretty regularly. I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility that she used a previously-taken photo for her latest post and that she didn't intend to deceive people with it or something. Or, the "Bye guts" photo could have been taken more recently. Not that much would have changed since then, anyway. She may not even have gotten out of the hospital bed since the first photo was taken. Whatever - she's clearly in the hospital with two IVs, a nasal cannula, a pulse oximeter, and a blood pressure monitor, which I doubt a hospital would do to someone who was just faking.
She could be lying about a ton of stuff, but the fact that she was so deathly emaciated a matter of months ago and has managed to restore a significant amount of weight since then still really says something, IMO. In the same span of time, Aly, for example, hasn't appeared to gain a pound, and Ash isn't even trying.

>>149801To be fair, depending on the type of stroke you're having, they don't really do much but throw aspirin at you and monitor you. If she DID have a stroke, it definitely wasn't severe enough warrant anything more invasive, or she wouldn't be selfie-ing it up. But if she's getting her guts cut out instead, she might've thought her symptoms were stroke-like and that's why she went to the ER in the first place, and once they realized it wasn't the cause of her problems, they investigated further and found the real culprit.
I'm curious who took the far away pic though. Yustas?

Things don't always move fast in hospitals, even in fairly dire situations. Doctors and nurses are often busy as fuck and are trying to attend to too many patients. She's probably been just sitting/laying around for the majority of the time she's been there. Yeah, it's a bit weird to have someone take a photo of you in that setting, but zillions of other people do it. I don't know, it doesn't seem THAT fishy to me.

No. 150287
>>150278Tbh I'm not sure why people are suddenly shocked by the inconsistencies in Erika's stories. I still support her for trying but the dramatic exaggerating is just one of her ongoing issues and isn't news.
There's examples people have pointed out already along with things like changing her height from 5'4 to 5'6 (on her MyProAna account, where she portrays a
very different image of herself, wealthy and proud to show off bones and not all that concerned about her kids). She's also said things like she's technically on the autism spectrum solely based on her IQ test or that she's immune from a BPD diagnosis based on IQ, which demonstrates a lack of understanding of psychometric tests. Not to mention denying her ED will affect her daughters because they're "too smart" for that.
The surgery/brain tumor stuff is just one of numerous inconsistencies but I don't even think this hospital visit is suspicious. She's been giving sporadic updates so she may have been medically cleared without needing surgery or had her tests come back okay, she hasn't confirmed surgery was actually done.
BUT even with the dramatics that doesn't mean she isn't sick or genuinely trying to get better, which I fully believe she is. She just has a tendency to embellish sometimes but she's not malicious.

If she wants to win back her fan base she needs to explain why she lied to the whole internet about having her intestines removed.
No. 150440
This is all just really fucking sad. I am guessing that she did read what was being said here. I honestly don't care if she has BPD and was lying about most of the shit that was going on. I still feel bad for her and her family, and I want them all to be okay. At the every least, she seems to have demonstrated that she really wants to recover from her anorexia, and the steps she's already taken toward recovery have been, IMO, pretty impressive. It's not even remotely easy to force yourself to gain weight after being in such a dire place as Erika was in. She really seemed to want to make everything better so she could be there for her kids. Maybe being off of social media will be a good thing for her, but I have to admit that I liked being able to check up on her and make sure she was still at least alive.
I don't think that she was "scamming" people by asking for money. She HAS got to be drowning in debt at this point, and, unless she was lying about everything she said about Yustas and her family, it sounds like she really did need the money. I'm not generally a fan of "e-begging," but if anyone would be in a position to do so, it would be someone like Erika. At least she wasn't asking for people to buy her gifts and useless shit. Sure, she could have used the money to buy…I don't know what. But she really seemed to be just scraping by and barely being able to feed herself and her family. I hope she gets the mental and physical health help that she needs and that she gets on some government assistance programs. I'm pretty sure she'd be able to get on disability without too much trouble, although that does involve months and months of waiting before you get any benefits (even if you don't have to go through any appeals process and they just decide to give you the benefits right off the bat).
No. 150456
>>150440I don't think she was scamming at all. She truly needs the money, but… I hate to say it but medical bills aside, her financial problems at this point are due to irresponsibility. If you know your husband can't manage money or pay rent then either he learns how or you take charge instead of acting surprised and helpless every single time he runs out of money. She could have sought help from social services much sooner, food stamps, low income housing, anything available instead of relying on crowd funding and putting their children at risk of being homeless and hungry. Not a wise decision.
I'm just glad she's seeking help now. I really hope she can turn things around for her daughters' sake.
No. 150472
>>150467Ok, but sending her off to hrr dad and taking her away from her sister is a little cruel. She's four. She's still a toddler.
I'm not saying she's not being well cared for, but I am a parent myself and if I did not have my son, I would be absolutely heartbroken.
No. 150490
>>150483I think most likely she went in because she had something wrong initially. Going to the ED department and being emaciated = admittance. She probably had a thorough work up and the doctors started saying that she could have this or that, and she took it an extreme level instead.
There's NO way she would have major surgery and then be out the next day. Minor surgeries are done outpatient but abdominal surgery is one week guaranteed in the hospital, plus 6-8 weeks of recovering.
No. 150496
>>150470Erika here, one post, the kid thing is just hurting too much. I am usually all for criticism, but yes, Mai leaving is breaking me. It hurts. It really hurts. She will be visiting at least once a month, her father and I are on very good terms and he's more than happy to be a part of Mai's life. The school system where he lives is fantastic. She deserves that. I am divorcing my husband and looking into moving further north, somewhere less expensive, ideally very close to my ex so that we can manage some sort of co parenting.
My mother apparently lost it on my adoptive father for not having enough money and no life insurance..which would leave her broke if he died and she insisted that being in his 70's he's on deaths door and the world revolves around her…she threatened him physically and he called her doctor who called the police and enforced a 72hr baker act.
Medically..I don't like talking about my pooping habits. It's a little embarrassing for me I guess..I'm eating a lot more and a lot of new foods in recovery, I'm not used to changes. They suspected a stroke upon admission, but during the bowel X-ray we found a serious impaction and infection. There are no words for the pain involved and yes I had been having blood in my stool for a while, but I also have internal hemerhoids from pregnancy(totally love talking about this) so Bleeding was t abnormal. I was put on heparin for one reason or another, I was very incoherent throughout the stay, mostly due to stress, malnutrition from a twisted intestine and a whole slew of sleeplessness and illness. I thought about posting the actual imaging, but the doctors don't just I've them to you, it's more of a request basis and a royal pain in the ass (ha). I think a break from it isn't necessarily a bad thing. I have a lot going on and it does suck, yes. I will be applying for disability as soon as I recover a bit. We don't qualify for other government assistance due to Yustas's citizenship status. We are ok on food, I utilise Aldi (very inexpensive market) and local coops. It's the other bills. Co pays etc. I have insurance through the marketplace, my kids have Medicaid as they are both citizens and that was never an issue. Traud had some dental work that was pricey, but well worth it. Previous poster was correct- it is pre-k. She loves kids, loves school play, she will love it and it will give me time to figure out working further in the future. I'm not mad, just a little hurt. I named Mai after the song "Komm lieber Mai", Edeltraud is a beautiful name with a strong personal meaning, my family is German, though most moved to Danmark.
I still am not BPD, just diagnosed with PTSD, Panic disorder, Major Deppressive Disorder..and a few other non personality disorders. :/
I don't come on here, but I was DM'd this thread. I'm pretty busy irl, I don't lurk mpa, no. I loathe the idea that I ever did. I don't want to post a ton and be seen as attention seeking, I was just hoping to show all aspects of my life, personally, bluntly, and openly. Sometimes it's not all sunshine and flowers. I know a lot of you are great people, I'm just in a position of great emotional stress and need to take a step back. I will not fall back into anorexic or disordered tendencies. Well wishes, and healing, Erika.

I never wanted Ashley to get bashed and I still for the love of life hope she can pull through. I forgive whatever happened with anything and STILL miss her non disordered talks. She is a person under that. She is young at heart and I knew I had to cut ties to recover. I still care about her, she's a living, breathing human. She's someone's daughter. Jackie is an amazing woman, I don't know the disordered side of her, just her. I don't care to dig around, I'd rather get to know someone from them. I truly hoped maybe..maybe my ig (mistypes are usually my autocorrect being a hinderance, sorry) helped save some girls struggling. I wanted to give hope. My daughters weren't my saviours from illness, they were my inspiration to live. They showed me love and forgiveness and most of all innocence. They love everyone unless proven otherwise. They are amazing kids. Typing that alone makes me feel so much better. I want to stay focused on living. Mai is excited about school, my ex gave me an iPhone back when they first came out and we were still together, he continues to keep me on his plan so that we can talk/share/FaceTime etc. we will have that when she's in school. I'm so excited for her opportunity to go to a real- honest to god amazing school that is utilised to teach kids from all walk with great care. Not only will she be in a great school, but I can get my finances in order and become the mother I want and need to be. I'm not nearly as complicated as the Internet makes me seem, and I can papercraft just about anywhere. I spent time in the icu and pcu, I gifted papercrafts to the kids on the oncology floor. It's simple, it's complicated, it's what you make it. The only important thing here is living life. Happiness is a side effect of love and care.

>>150634Recovery from Laparoscopy
When your laparoscopy is completed, you will be observed for several hours before you are released from the hospital. The timing of your release will vary. It depends on:
your overall physical condition
the type of anesthesia used
your body’s reaction to the procedure.
In some cases, you may have to remain overnight.
Generally, you will be taken to a recovery room. While there, you will be checked for any reaction to the anesthesia or the procedure. Your vital signs will be monitored.
When the effects of your anesthesia wear off, you will be discharged. However, if you received general anesthesia, you will not be permitted to drive yourself home.
After your laparoscopy, you can expect to feel slight pain and throbbing at the surgical sites. Any pain or discomfort should improve daily. Your physician may prescribe medication to relieve the pain.
It is not uncommon to have shoulder pain after your procedure. This occurs when the carbon dioxide gas causes an irritation in your diaphragm, which shares nerves with your shoulder. The carbon dioxide may also cause some bloating.
You will be told not to lift any heavy objects for about a week.
Typically, you can go back to eating your normal diet when you feel hungry.
You usually can resume all normal activities within a week. You will need to return to your physician in about two weeks.

It says 1 week hospital stay, and an additional 6 weeks recovery time).

– Near-fatal bouts of illness alternate with miraculous recoveries.
– Continual dramatic events in the person’s life, especially when other group members have become the focus of attention.
– The claims are fantastic, contradicted by subsequent posts or flatly disproved.
– The person would not be capable of posting if they were as seriously ill as they claim.
– They describe their misfortunes with inappropriate happiness to attract more attention.
– As they don’t understand the disease they are faking the symptoms are exaggerated like a caricature of the illness.
– They will blame the lack of sympathy from group members for causing their condition to worsen.

Erika probably gets mentioned because of her link with ash, but that was so long ago. I honestly didn't think she'd figure as a major part of this thread but didn't understand why there were people wanting to talk about ash when there's really nothing more to be said.

Did Ashley give Erika her ED?
Did Ashley make Erika have a stroke?
Did Ashley indirectly/directly send Erika to the hospital?
No, she didn't. As much of an asshat walking/rolling proana Ash is, keeping her thread alive is irrelevant a d we could have a dedicated thread to Erika in /b/, that's it.
Sorry to seem rant based, but I'm coming straight out and saying it.

>>151310But she claims she's been anorexic since she was four years old. It's not fair to blame him for "causing" her to relapse. I'm sure he said things that were
triggering because when you're that sick literally anything will
trigger you. Even if it hadn't been a stupid comment about her breasts it would have been something else. She has to take responsibility for her actions. You can't control what people say to you but you can control your reactions. People with EDs need to learn they can't make everyone around them walk on eggshells.
No. 151329
>>151324So true. I always feel like the mental anguish that people who love people who have ED have to go through must be awful. You are watching people whither away and there is nothing you can do. You try to help them, they refuse. They sabotage all your efforts to help them. I would think mentally checking out would be the only kind of survival mechanism.
I see it with addicts, too. One can only drag someone to rehab and AA before they just wash their hands clean of someone. We'd like to think that if you love someone enough, you'll keep trying, but everyone has a limit. At some point you just have to let go to maintain your own sanity.

It was nowhere as serious as you guys are making it sound. I was scared shitless(punny). I have disgusting swelling and almost no pain. It heals incredibly fast but I'm fine. I don't even require bandages at this point as the air is helping it heal faster. The heparin was to prevent dvt…which is actually extremely serious. Having a locked up bowels that need attention isn't anywhere near as deathly as it sounds, unless of course you have an allergic reaction. I was born in Daytona beach FL. My grandparents are German. ?. I don't know why I am replying again…the kid comments are just really stinging. I did not plan my pregnancies. I never thought I'd have kids. My anorexia developed at around age four as per documentation due to sexual abuse and a mother with weight issues and a bio dad who was obsessed with it. My kids are awesome. They do kid things, they don't have an alcoholic mom passing out every night or a physically abusive household. Anorexia does some *really shitty things to your head. Yes. I regret my past.

Impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentially self-damaging (e.g., spending, sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating)
Recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures, or threats, or self-mutilating behavior
Emotional instability due to significant reactivity of mood (e.g., intense episodic dysphoria, irritability, or anxiety usually lasting a few hours and only rarely more than a few days)
Chronic feelings of emptiness
Inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger (e.g., frequent displays of temper, constant anger, recurrent physical fights)

They do this crazy thing where they move your bed around to get you from, say, the ER to the ICU, or the ICU into surgery. The beds even have
wheels.

I'm honestly not sure what would happen if a person went to the ER with their little kid, was admitted to the ICU, and didn't have a way of getting their child to anyone/anywhere else safely and immediately. The hospital wouldn't just tell the child "sorry, no visitors allowed" and kick them out the front door on their own, but I don't know how they

Just to curb the bickering on length of ICU stay:

>>151990She's been very defensive whenever someone mentions BPD and is in total denial despite the fact she meets all the diagnostic criteria, every single one. My guess is she's afraid to admit she has it because she's terrified of being like her mother, who also has BPD.
Her mother allegedly enabled and contributed to her abuse. Acknowledging the BPD would be admitting she's more like her mother than she'd like to think she is, even though they both act out very differently so that's not something she needs to worry about.
>>152020She really has a poor understanding of psychometrics for someone who's been through so many shrinks. Her excuse that she's exempt from BPD because she's too smart is nonsense and an insult to people with BPD.

hate dealing with BPD.

Smells like more BS.It's called a neuropsychological evaluation, which is done with many tests for mental disorders such as autism and also for other neurological deficits, or simply as a baseline. I find it extremely believable that Erika has had multiple evaluations of this nature since she's prone to strokes and her disorder itself causes fluctuations in her neuro-thing.
You people are getting way ahead of yourselves with this shit. I believe everything Erika is saying; however, you need to take it with a grain of salt and understand it's from her perspective.

>>152529Yeah, that's what I remember. I don't remember her saying anything about the alters thing.
I can get dissociation with anxiety, and (for me anyway) it's like you're not in your body. Not out of your body, but you can't relate to being the body. Difficult to explain. Everything around you feels pretty much the same, like it's all unreal and a film being played out and you're watching it from underwater or sthing.
Not as dramatic as it sounds because in a weird way you get used to it. It's annoying but you don't freak out about it and just accept while it's happening.
No. 152711
>>152580DID is NOT just having dissociations. I dissociate (and also 'depersonalize') from some '

- exaggerations of her conditions/state (I do believe she is ill though)
I'm not
Dignosing but she really does have a lot of BPD traits. And with her family history (BPD mom) and abuse history/eating disorder this becomes even more likely.
I hope Erika gets help for these behaviors as well as her eating disorder. BPD has been a lifelong battle for me and will be for Erika as well if she gets diagnosed (I got told I had 'traits' at around 17/28 and diagnosed officially at 19/20)

Anyhoo, enough about me :D Erika meets more conditions than me on that list, so don't see why she hasn't been told she has BPD.

IMO I think it's munchausen. Her starving herself keeps her looking frail and ill, more believable when she claims an illness or checks into a hospital for whatever.

I am discovering now with my own kids that genetics are a bitch. A lot of mental illness is hereditary, and I hate to say this Erika…but you will be watching your own kids go through this shit in another 10-15 years.

>>153488Considering all the exaggerating/attentionwhoring she got from her last hospital stay, I'd say she's far from recovered. She has an addiction to "positive attention" and will stir up whatever is necessary in order to get it. I feel like the internet is a bad place for someone like that. It just feeds the narcissism, and makes her feel like she has to go to great lengths to stir up the drama necessary to keep people focused on her.
I don't think she needs "positive support." It's her journey, and her journey only. She needs to spend less time online looking for head pats ("positive support") and more time focusing her attention on the real problems she has going on in her life.
No. 153554
>>153511It doesn't sound like she has any IRL friends/support except Yustas and her kids. IG was her only social connection, and now that's gone.
I just feel bad for her. That has to be so lonely. And it's hard to better yourself without any encouragement. Especially if you have a lot of self-hate like she does. I really hope this doesn't fuck up her recovery. She's made such progress.
No. 153604
>>153554So much this.
Erika doesn't have irl friends or really anyone for that matter. She was never narcissistic? She never took compliments well..we DM'd often and she was never anything short of kind and caring. I received mail from her that was all hand made and with a lot of thought. She just seemed really lonely. As for the pictures she posted of herself, I personally loved to see her face brighten up my IG stream of self motivation quotes and food pictures tbh.

>>153619The only reason the call even became a thing is because farmers really really want to believe it was ashley. I don't think it was made up because Erika just posted about it in one post on IG and avoided talking about it otherwise, despite farmers fucking clamouring for her to implicate Ash. She didn't encourage attention about it.
I don't know whether it was Ash. I 100% believe Ash is capable of that and not very many people have Erika's number so it could be her calling from her mom's phone or something. But I think if Erika knew for sure it was her (or made it up lol) she would've given more hints or just outright threw Ash under the bus.

A couple of years later, my husband's bare dick spent about 30 seconds inside me before I stopped being retarded and grabbed a condom. Guess what? I got pregnant again! I've been sexually active for 10 years and have NEVER had an accidental pregnancy while using condoms or the pill.
IMO the pull out method is like driving without a seat belt. Some people never get in an accident, some do but don't get hurt. Some people get in accidents while wearing a seat belt but die anyway. But, statistically, you should wear the god damn seat belt!
If you can afford it, get an IUD. They almost never have negative side effects, they don't screw up your hormones like the pill, they're waaaaaaaay more effective than just about anything other getting your tubes tied, and you don't have to get a new one for years.

(Lol, Munchausen syndrome.) I don't blame her for deleting her IG. I was happy when she made it private, but she was definitely way too liberal about adding people, unfortunately.

>>154235agree. people keep bringing up "WELL SHE LIED ABOUT HER GUTS BEING REMOVED"
just remember that she is mentally sick. i know that doesn't excuse some behavior but she never did anything that terrible.
when my depression gets really bad sometimes i cannot think clearly and believe things that aren't true and start acting kinda crazy, so i can't imagine what it would be like to be as sick as she is/was. she could've just been scared and freaked herself out thinking it was the worst case scenario and since she is someone who shares most of her thoughts on the internet, that's how it came out? it could've been any number of things.
but i really don't think there is any good reason to be attacking her so much.

Again, sorry to derail. Back on subject, I can't believe Ash actually tags food photos like pic related with #binge. I have never actually discussed this with a person with bulimia (or AN-BP subtype), but I always figured that binging (and/or purging) would be considered shameful and private. It's surprising to me to see someone openly flaunting it.

I have a type of ED too that's near anorexia and I don't see me as obese, I see me just normal but as the text describes, some parts of my body just aren't small enough (and never will be). Fortunately I'm doing therapy and it's slowy helping me have a positive body image about myself and finding the paradoxes about EDs. I started to criticize my own ED when I compared myself with my thinspos and discovered that I weight less than them in proportion and still feeling that isn't enough, so I knew that there's something really strange and wrong. Like, my "thinspos" where thin and beautiful and healthy and I'm thinner but can't feel beautiful and healthy like them.

I see some parts of my body kind boney and ugly and little specific ones just horrible. Sometimes my head want me to belive that those parts are horrible because they are too big and they supposedly are this large and horrible because of my weight so maybe if I lost just a little bit more that part will be the way I want and will not be something that makes me feel sad. But I know it's a stupid lie and now I know this is my head using my body as a metaphor for my life (if I do everything perfectly right I will sucess and I'll be happy, but humans do mistakes all the time and mistakes are ok, I can do mistakes and also be happy too). When I reach the goal I became happy for a moment and then the cicle restart again because is not enough. Now I try not to focus on this and try to find things things in life that bring me joy, when I look at the part that bothers me and see that "monster" I try to ignore it and look to another side or place that isn't me. It's been about 6 months since I stopped losing weight and fortunately I'm not morbid like Ash or Aly if you want to know.

>>155063That's Kwashiorkor:
>a malnutrition disease, primarily of children, caused by severe protein deficiency that usually occurs when the child is weaned from the breast. The child does not lose weight as dramatically and does not look as sick as a marasmic child, who lacks both protein and calories. Some now believe kwashiorkor may relate to bacterial grain contamination and occur when the newly weaned child begins to ingest grain products. Eventually the following symptoms occur: retarded growth, changes in skin and hair pigmentation, diarrhea, loss of appetite, nervous irritability, lethargy, edema, anemia, fatty degeneration of the liver, necrosis, dermatoses, and fibrosis, often accompanied by infection and multivitamin deficiencies. Because dietary fats are poorly tolerated in kwashiorkor, its treatment includes a skimmed milk formula in initial feedings, followed by additional foods until a full, well-balanced diet is achieved. Doesn't really happen much in the "developed world" in general, probably because of the foods we have available to us.
