mine is nicotine addiction unfortunately. its also a contributing factor to my ED in a way. i still live with my parents and currently in college- meaning, i get my daily allowances from them. they constantly nag me to quit smoking but its never easy no matter how hard i try (never did i choose to have an oral fixation)

Going on weird shopping sprees, like needing to buy various items in e-v-er-y color or model. What is that all about??? Goddamn...I'm super scared of becoming a hoarder :'( !!! Thank god I can still stop myself before it totally gets out of hand!!!

I'm obsessed with sanrio and cute aesthetics. I've spent over 5k on hello kitty items alone in the last 2 years. It's a serious problem, I don't feel like I have rational control over the impulses.
I'm obsessed with skincare as well, which is probably my healthiest coping mechanism, though outrageously expensive. It can also be negative at times when I am feeling very dysmorphic and ugly.

I used to be addicted to alcohol then drugs from 13-15 till I was put in care, a really dark time that led me to a lot of abuse but it's something I can't help but miss. I'd go out all day and night trying to get whatever I could, the worse the better in my mind. Eventually I ran away from home for 3 days and that was an insane time cuz I was staying with a crackhead who abused me, but even that time I ran away, my mind still sees it positively because of how many drugs I was on and the freedom and availability of drugs. But I have trauma from it as well. It's weird. Because of social services I no longer use and I do have some aspirations now, relapse feels so likely, it's something I constantly think about but I don't have the energy for it. I'd love to just escape from the world again, but I can't now, which is good, I'd be high all the time if I could be.

Nicotine but it's not ed related, I've recently gone back to ciggies sadly and I'm back smoking multiple a day when I never used to. I actually got fined 75 quid today for a fag butt! I wasn't thinking and I stuck it on the floor cuz there was no bins. But I'm underage so I'll cancel it

i used to cut. it got so bad that my arm was littered with scars and i couldn’t like that i “fell down” anymore. 11 months clean though! i don’t have the desire to cut anymore but unfortunately i’ve replaced it with my ed.
sadly, i hear this a lot... were mostly likely to recover from an addiction through another addiction. surviving is hard and a bitch to do. but hey, congrats on being clean! thats a massive thing to overcome, no? i love that for you
