If you don’t think you can be kind to yourself at the moment let me step in and help:
Your feelings are valid.
Your guy was a dick there at the end but that doesn’t make grieving any easier.
You deserve better.
I hope you never have to feel awkward for sharing your true feelings.
Sending hugs and maybe a delicious piece of candy to brighten your day.

Thank you @TrustyBird and @Juli1
Emilie, this was amazing and it helped! Went to bed last night and fell asleep right when I hit the pillow, woke up today, came here and read your post! This lightened my heart 
And I bookmark it with a reminder 
Have a good sober day here on the FRO thread too!

Not sure if its an actual FRO but it gives me a shudder whenever i read people asking for ‘tips and tricks’ for recovery…it makes it all sound so trivial when actually its really hard work

And it can be overwhelming if you feel pressure to try them all. Even I am at the point that working through a program seems necessary.

For me it goes from annoying to FRO. Yes, the forum takes some time to navigate, but coming here like it’s a buffet where you can help yourself AND are served from the menu is in some cases ridiculous, in some I smell laziness and some ask rather than seek for information already there because of whatever reason.
I do not engage anymore mostly because I don’t feel comfortable to line out basics that can be easily found. I guess I’m a bit enervated so I prefer to step back in these posts and mute them. Many people come once and are not seen again.

My impatience regarding my health and / or my weight 
Every time when I’m going strong in stuff like working out or cooking healthy or taking care of my mental health some sh*t happens and I’m back on square 1.
At least I’m consistent in trying one more time.
Always one more time.

Long time people here, we get to see it all, don’t we?! And yet we all started out in a similar place. Questioning our consumption, looking for the quick fixes or easy tricks…maybe not all of us but certainly some of us. Especially me, before I even braved commenting here I was reading around and not sure of what I wanted. It can be hard to relate to some folks that come here but we all are here for a shared purpose. Mostly 
And I think people are generally impatient and want to know the answers to their questions. Don’t have time to read around and do what we think is best for them. Trust me, I’ve had those thoughts too.
