Story I ate full meals for the whole day in a psych ward!!

[obei]

So today I had some anxiety over breakfast since I have decided toxtry and eat the whole ass sandwich they give us. (Just to add, I am not underweight at all, just when I feel full I tend to feel sick and in need to forcefully throw up) So I talked w my doctor and said "I feel like nobody gives a shit about me eating that whole meal and overcoming my fear", and she said "well I care" and that made me have so much hope and motivation to try. (Also wanna add that I am severely attached to that woman, shes like my mother to me) and today I ate full meals the whole day!!! It was so hard, I had a histeric episode about arguing w another patient but I am si excited to tell my doctor tomorrow and lets hope she is proud of me! :)

It makes me feel sad how many people on here and off here place so much importance on receiving positive feedback from others and having others feel proud of them.

It's like not many people care about being psychologically self sufficient and only feel good about themselves if others validate them

I know we can all use a bit of comforting from time to time but it's like so many people haven't learned to just feel good about themselves and instead need others to tell them they're good.

I feel sorry for them caring that much about others being proud of them when they could just learn to be proud of themselves.
