Daily ED self-check for harm reduction
for the ⭐️ving and pvrg1ng girls to stay safe <3
(not promoting, but harm reduction is so so important!!)
• place 2 fingers on wrist/neck
• count your pulse for 30 sec and double it
• danger zone: <50, >120 bpm or irregular/skipping beats
2. Blood pressure/dizziness
• notice: do you get lightheaded, see black spots, feel like fainting?
• frequent dizziness/fainting = electrolyte or blood pressure crash
• press gently into your shin/ankle for 5 seconds - if a dent stays (pitting edema), your body is holding fluid from electrolyte imbalance
• stretch your hand wide, then make a fist
• Notice: tingling, twitching, or cramping? That can signal low potassium or calcium.
• check urine color (preferably your first pee of the day).
• Dark yellow/amber = dehydrated
• Clear all the time = over- hydrated (can dilute electrolytes)
6. Emergency red flags (call for hospitalization!!)
• severe chest pain or irregular heartbeat
• Passing out or near fainting
• Extreme swelling in the face, hands, or legs
• Inability to keep fluids down
• Extreme shortness of breath
I might make another post about supplements & vitamins more tailored to m1a because I never see enough about harm-reduction when it comes to pvrg1ng which is incredibly important I cannot stress this enough.
Edit: I wanted to add this YouTube link from this video by Of Herbs and Altars. They make a lot of ED-related and recovery video essays that help a lot. One of the newest videos touches on the idea of finding compromise and harm-reduction within your disorder so it no longer takes over your life. It's helped me so so much. <3
