Hey everyone, I just wanted to get some thoughts on something that’s been bothering me at work. I’m in recovery from an eating disorder and I’ve been in treatment for a few months now. As part of that I’ve stayed away from scales for years. But the other day I walked into the bathroom at work and I noticed there was a scale on the floor in the handicapped stall. And now, every time I go in there I just feel this unsettling urge to step on it, even though I know how far I’ve come. It’s really messing with me, and I don’t know how to handle it.
I’m just wondering, has anyone else seen this in a workplace? Is it normal, or would you consider it odd? I’m not sure if I’m overthinking but it’s really been a struggle for me. I don’t want to out myself or start a big confrontation, so I’m just trying to figure out how others would deal with this.
Any advice would mean a lot. Thanks so much.
