Stuck in Ambivalence: A Day in the Superposition of My Eating Disorder

On 3rd Feb 20253rd Feb 2025 By Absurd RhioIn eating disorder7 Comments

Ambivalence is a superposition—wanting and not wanting recovery at the same time. This is what living with an eating disorder looks like: battling decisions that shouldn’t be battles, facing Greggs like it’s a boss fight, and walking away from cheese like it’s a trap. Clippy wants control. But so do I.

Grief blogging, ADHD chaos, ED recovery, and Cyberpunk 2077 outbursts. Sometimes Biscoff. Always feelings.
