tHeRes A bEE ?!?

You have an eating disorder, but you invalidate yourself because you feel like you’re faking it since you’re not skinny enough to have a severe problem.

Feeling like a disgrace to the ana community which consists of beautiful skinny people - people you don’t belong among.

Feeling guilty for reblogging all these thinspo posts because your illness is not “real enough”.

Wondering why tf you’re ALWAYS cold when your body has plenty of fat to keep you warm.

Wondering why you feel dizzy when you skip another meal when your body l i t e r a l  l y has enough stored energy to keep you “fed” for days.

Being in love with skinny jeans and oversized hoodies but they make you look fat and skinny at the same time somehow? How is that even possible???

Having your collar bones visible, but they’re not poking out of your skin enough, not the way they do on all these thinspo pics.

Feeling disgusted and ashamed to leave your house every time you get bloated, because, from a normal semi-flat stomach, you go to an 8-month-pregnant woman with twins. 

oh no! a curse to lose 3 lbs!

Ribcages can shrink, buddy. This is my biggest pet peeve to see. Ribcages are biologically *designed* to contract and expand. If you think your ribcage is too large, one of two things is happening:

1. You have too much visceral fat still padding your organs. This unfortunately also means that you may be farther away than you think from looking how you want because visceral fat should be the first type of fat to be burned...sorry, kid

very helpful

Hiya- I’m here promoting my server yet again.

Only this time... things are different.

My server, no matter what it started out as, is no longer a “pro-ana server.” It’s a community based on an endless amount of support, encouragement, and care for one another. I started the server in a moment of desperation and fear and just wanting some place to belong and cope with this hellish nightmare of an eating disorder so that I didn’t have to do it alone, but it evolved into more than that.

These people are my family now. And we’re looking to expand.

So now, we’re a family. All shapes and sizes. All races and nationalities. All disorders and illnesses and walks of life. It’s great.

While it’s not necessarily a “pro-ana” server, I’m not going to lie and pretend like it doesn’t have elements of enabling eating disorders.

We have:

Group challenges for weight loss.

Daily challenges (calendar format with a point-based system with rewards).

Binging/venting channels.

Fasts.

Personal journals (public and private) for progress.

But we also have:

Mental illness categories and group “therapy” sessions.

Recovery resources and encouragement because despite how much we are all obsessed with body image, we want recovery for everyone.

Art exchanges.

Memes!

Support circles and listening/counseling roles that talk people out of their BDD-induced crying sessions.

Friends willing to talk you through a breakup.

Glow-up journal sharing! (One of my favorite parts of it. :) )

Selfie hype sessions because body positivy is important in a place with people with severe body issues.

If you’d like to become part of this growing group of disordered people that found a home in a random server like this, please message me. I find it difficult to keep up with reblogs and likes, so you can either send me an ask (not anonymous) so I can privately message you the link, or just send me a quick message. This is for a limited time, so if I reach the maximum number of new members, I’m terribly sorry.

i had a experience today where my body overheated i started to lose focus in my schoolwork my heart started beating so loud and fast and hurting like a mf and i thought “omg this is it this is how i die i am going to die in the middle of art class” then i decided to try to alert someone i tapped my friends thigh my breathing was shaky and loud and my face was red and tried to tell her “get the teacher somethings happening” all that came out was a scrambled mumbled sentence and i thought i was about to faint but she understand and the teacher got her to take me real quick and since she knew i was anorexic she got a proteing bar and made me eat that shit and the second i took a bite everything slowly started to calm down and i have honestly never been more terrified

When you don’t eat, your blood sugar goes DOWN. This causes a variety of symptoms:

-An irregular heart rhythm

-Fatigue

-Pale skin

-Shakiness

-Anxiety

-Sweating

-Hunger

-Irritability

-Tingling sensation around the mouth

-Crying out during sleep

-Confusion, abnormal behavior or both, such as the inability to complete routine tasks

-Visual disturbances, such as blurred vision

-Seizures

-Loss of consciousness

ALWAYS make sure you have a fast acting carbohydrate on you. Orange juice, LifeSavers, (NOT DIET) soda, dried fruits (raisins), bananas, glucose gel/tablets, energy bars, rice cakes, pretzels, other candies.

These will correct your blood sugar (bring it up) in 5-15 minutes!!!!! Eat them when you start to feel faint or right after you pass out. Hydrate yourself as well!!!

I have never been so scared.

I had a BMI of 21 and had only been restricting for a month.

You can say you aren’t pro-ed or pro-ana as much as you want #not pro just using tags and end posts with stay safe <3 but if you post things like this

You are telling others how to be better at their eating disorder. That is the definition of pro-ED. That is not support. There is no reason to be posting tips like this unless you are trying to help others’ EDs. Yes, we want to lose weight, but giving tips like this is literally dangerous and is only feeding the ED. Real tips to help others should be in advocacy of a healthy lifestyle, recovery, or at the minimum harm reduction.

OKAY, WTF IS THIS BULLSHIT?
