It’s still not an excuse to never try and change

How did you find that out? It sounds kinda like me (I have bulimia/BED and have been chronically severely depressed with anhedonia for as long as I can remember)

of course, it’s just going to be more of a challenge for me because it’s a genetic thing so i’m essentially going to have to find a way to override my genetic coding lol

it’s a gene test my psychiatrist ordered! she ordered the test and it got sent to my house. i just swabbed the inside of my cheek and mailed it back and then we got the results!!

Do you know what brand it was/how much it cost? I have wackass insurance and shit so I sincerely doubt my providers could or would do it for me but it sounds like something that would be worthwhile to do for myself
