Hopefully this isn't too personal- do you have any advice for someone who is opposed to psych wards or conventional treatment but really needs help with anorexia and adderall use? I don't want to "recover" and I'm scared they will permanently revoke my prescription but my weight and medical issues and dependence on adderall to function have gotten pretty awful to live with. I've tried to reign it in by myself but if I decrease the adderall even a little, I get really depressed and immediately start binging and purging. How do I get medical help without getting trapped in treatment I don't want or losing legal access to a medication I take several times a day?
so, obviously, disclaimer that i do not know much about adderal, i'm not a pharmacist nor have i ever taken it. also, i dislike the language of treatment/professionalized ED management, but alas, i use some here for ease of communication.
i think that harm reduction + some "freestyle recovery" techniques could be helpful here. by "freestyle recovery," i'm referring to the ways in which disorderly eaters practice healing outside the frameworks of traditional "recovery"/in ways that deliberately disalign from carceral / normalizing techniques. these can be practiced toward one's personal definition of "health," or simply as ways of living on without recovering as such. of course, this is up to you!
the first step here is outlining your necessities. do you need to be on adderall? if so, put this in the "necessity" column. do you need, at this moment, to stay below a certain # in size, or calories, or something else? put that, too, in the necessity column. once you've outlined some of these, consider what it is possible to "push" on –– for example, if you're not eating structured meals at planned times, this might be something to try - it normalizes your body's expectations for hunger and fullness, and helps a lot of people manage and decrease b/p cycles. if scales are a big concern, consider asking someone you trust to take or hide your scale –– this is actually something i asked my parents to do as a teenager (they still do to this day). if depression is a b/p trigger, it's worth thinking about what kinds of activities help you manage your depression –– for some people, that's exercise; if exercise is triggering, what about just going out in the fresh air? for others, it's art or music; for others, it's low-pressure (and food-optional/-free) hangouts with friends. also, of course, things like adequate hydration, vitamin supplementation, and maintaining a consistent eating schedule (even if you binge later!) are important to making sure your body can continue to survive without serious medical intervention.
you might notice that a lot of these recommendations are community-based: this is deliberate. it's not possible to live meaningfully without living in-relation. further, if you're experiencing hardship/crisis, it's absolutely necessary that somebody else be there to shoulder the burden with you. do you have someone around you irl not in a position of power over you that you can talk to? someone you can call or visit if you feel the urge to restrict or b/p? i find that the ways i harm my bodymind spike massively when i'm isolated/feel like i can't open up to anyone around me. even if you spend time with someone and don't talk about health stuff at all (though i also HIGHLY recommend having a crisis plan - your friends need to know what to do if you have a major health crisis), having a social release valve is incredibly important. camaraderie, being (at its best) reciprocal and nonhierarchical, is the opposite of institutionalization.
ultimately, your goal is simple but difficult: avoiding institutional treatment while maintaining access to an essential medication. while you are under no obligation to "recover," you do need to accept that the way you're living now is likely unsustainable if you want to achieve the aforementioned goals; maintaining your freedom is possible, but it's going to be really fucking uncomfortable. this is why i've emphasized skills that broadly fall under categories of "distress tolerance" (ew) and "distraction" (ick) –– you can and should not accept that your freedom is conditional upon "good behavior," but you do need to accept that in order to stay alive, you sometimes have to do stuff with your body that sucks. this is a universal truth for disorderly eaters. we can't go cold-turkey on what messes with our heads. instead, be intentional about finding the right balance of discomfort and safety. you don't need to "overcome" it. instead, focus on organizing your needs & wants, and tap into your networks to see who might be able to support you in achieving them.

Ya’ll I’m going to tag this excessively because I just discovered something life changing.
the 0cal sweetener allulose for some people works as a hard core laxative, and I have had my fair share of over the counter laxatives, so when I say it works, I mean it works.
Tmi but, I literally had not shit for almost 2 weeks (low restriction, if u know u know) and then I had made these 30cal brownies with a lot of allulose and like magic ✨…💩

to myself through gritted teeth: you’re allowed to exercise without working towards an “end goal” or an eventual achievement. you’re allowed to try walking and running without trying to decrease your time per distance each time or even work up to doing some long distance race. movement for the sake of movement is fine and is still beneficial even if it never culminates into anything tangible. now stop looking at your health app

Trying to get rid of this shitty ass hunger migraine so I can teach a class soon so I’m just trying to eat Easy Bread for something and it’s so impossible to even gag it down, how did things get so bad so quick…
I’m confused because I DID eat something every day this week but it must have been getting so gradually less and my body just expects things to be in it now…
But damn I still gotta walk the dog and I really want to cancel this class. It’s taking way too long to even EAT this bread bc every bite makes me super nauseous and I just feel terrible…..
If I can get to a more functional point I’ll mix up a protein drink which I need but damn I have just no energy right now

i started sport yesterday
i tried the lesserafim work out but wEll-
i only did 15 burpees instead of 4*25, i didn't do the plank crawl, and instead of 75 crunches, i did 2*20 crunches + 2*20 russian twists but i somehow binged lmao (1232 cal i hate myself sm ngl-)
today is better i didn't do the le sserafim workout, but i have 3 sport apps, so i did like 1h15 of sport + i ate 408cal
it still feel like it's too much but well..
this morning, i was weighting 180,7791lbs (82.6kg), i'll see tomorrow if there's any improvement lmao
by the way, i was just wondering if it's better to workout before or after eating- ????
