I also want to point out that you can have an eating disorder that isn't just anorexia/bulimia.
I've been force-fed my entire childhood due to a combo of my mom's narcissism and her treatment of food as comfort.

I've had this issue of "nausea or hunger" my entire life. I actually kinda got it fixed after I realized I have POTS and the MTHFR mutation. Propranolol + L-methylfolate supplement helped me a lot!
One of the things that made me feel like I belong in the #ActuallyAutistic community was routinely seeing people asking the "am i nauseous or hungry?" question that I have always asked myself.

"Every Single Night" by Fiona Apple
"We Want a Rock" by They Might Be Giants
Does anybody have any recommendations for ways to relax as an #autistic or #neurodivergent person?
