so you're telling me she did my hair and nails, we talked for hours on end while listening to girl in red, started to watch nana together and semi-held hands but we're just friends?
i want to exhange pinterest with you all, drop your @ in the comments !!!
13 is for stumbling
14 is for self-destruction
15 is for hitting rock bottom
16 is for standing up
17 is for wanting to heal
18 is for choosing yourself for the first time
I feel like when I don't eat much (not even on purpose sometimes) I never lose any weight and it seems like not eating would be the easiest way to lose it but I have to otherwise I get ridiculously dizzy due to POTS and low blood sugar etc
This is very random and just like a dump of thoughts 😭
fun fact: if you eat very little over a prolonged period of time, your metabolism slows down and weight loss gets harder. there's plenty of methods to lose weight healthily - not eating is definitely not one of them.
stay safe out there dear <3
im not sure if this triggering aswell, but ive suffered sh before and i just feel so invalidated because i never go 'deep' enough. I only barely make a small purple scar. I know every case is different but i dont know. and i dont know how to get out of this horrible cycle of sh 😕
hey i'm struggling with the same!! i always feel like i don't go deep enough and that's why i find it so hard to stop.
but tbh i think being online has really desensitized us to what we perceive as "bad" cvts and what not. depth really doesn't determine how serious the issue is. somebody can be on the path of recovery and need stitches while somebody who's suffering immensely on the inside may only do "shallow" cvts. how deep you go really says nothing about how you feel on the inside. your sh is valid regardless of how you hurt yourself, what you use or how deep you go.
what might also be worth mentioning is that sh is dangerous at any depth, not only when you reach the lower layers of the skin. let's think about infections - they can happen any time. sh needs to always be taken seriously..
please don't be so harsh on yourself and beat yourself up. you are valid in your struggles. they matter. you matter. <3
I’m really sorry if this a triggering question, but did you reach a ‘goal weight’ of yours then recover? I want to recover but i feel like i have to get to this weight first, and only then i can try getting better :/
not triggering, don't worry <3
personally, in the late stages of my ed i didn't even have a goal weight anymore. i just wanted to get as low as possible and still - it was never enough. it wasn't enough when my heart didn't work as it should've, it wasn't enough when i lost my period and it wasn't enough when doctors threatened to hospitalize me if i lost any more weight. i guess in that sense i was in a similar situation.
so let me tell you something: if i've learnt anything, it's that no number will ever be low enough for your ed. even if you reach your goal weight, once you hit it, you'll still want to go lower. you'll probably feel invalid throughout most of your recovery as well, that's just how this disorder works. but that doesn't mean that what you think is true!
because really, you should start recovery regardless of how much or little you weigh. anorexia nervosa is a mental disorder, not a weight-disorder, even if many doctors don't take you seriously if you're not underweight. it's useless trying to wait until you're ready to recover or deserving of recovery. that day is never going to come. you have to choose to recover now - despite thinking that you don't deserve it, that you're not sick enough, that you still weigh too much. not everything you think is true. because you deserve a healthy and happy life. a recovered life! so do it. give recovery a chance. you deserve it. <3
wheeee it does appear im relapsing bsck into an ed…im so scared
is it really going to be worth it? the cold, the food noise, the constant exhaustion? i know that you're craving the feeling of hunger - for whatever reason - but you're stronger than that. try to resist. don't keep yourself small. you deserve a full life. don't give up now!!! look at how far you've come. i believe in you <3
hey. hey. hey. i love u people who lost weight during hard times and are gaining it back now. i love u people who are getting chubby now that they feel better about themselves. i love u people whose fingers no longer close all the way around their calves. i love u people who are taking up more space. i love u people who had to buy new clothes/let old clothes out bc they went up a size or two. i love u people who are recovering that have noticed that their body has more give and heft to it. i love u people who have gained weight after starting to recover. i love u people who’ve gotten heavier after starting to eat full meals and take snacks because u just feel like it. you’re so so so beautiful. look at you. look how far you’ve come. i’m so proud of you, you don’t even know. you’re wonderful. i love u.
hearing "talking to you is like talking to my younger self" from a woman you admire might just be the biggest compliment ever
my therapist has gotten into the habit of checking whether or not i'm currently a danger to myself in every session we have and i'm not sure if i should find it sweet or concerning
