Our Lady of Immaculate Depression

i have sold plasma already. i have sold my belongings. i have been applying to jobs like crazy but it just isn't panning out. please help me, even just a buck or two. anything given will go straight toward medication, rent, and gas, with anything over the goal going to groceries. i don't mean to be pitiful but my family will hurt me and homelessness in texas is dangerous especially in the summer. thank you all so, SO MUCH for your help in the past, i am so close to getting out of this hellhole.

commissions will be done as soon as i can finish them. please give me patience while i claw my way back to being human again. thank you

every fat person you know for the most part probably has a story like this, of medical neglect. many of the stories i've heard personally are when the complaint or the doctor wasn't related at all, like being told to lose weight at the ear nose and throat doctor or at the dentist. it's straight up just bias. it's such a thing that in the show Shrill it's portrayed, when Aidy Bryant goes to the gynecologist and her doctor suggests she get gastric bypass.

the studies on health and fatness are simply not that black and white and there is basically no research that shows that more than an incredibly tiny minority of people can lose weight and keep it off for more than like 2 years. bodies have set points that they gravitate towards, it's not a personal failure. this also is how the weight loss industry succeeds so well - repeat customers.

some of the harm associated with fatness is also due to weight cycling, which is very hard on your body and is even worse if you get off a GLP1, which according to a recent study causes weight to be regained at a rate that is 4x faster than without taking a GLP1.

you don't have to hate yourself. you don't have to hate other people for their body type either. it makes me so sad to see the thinspo tag going around again in 2026 a lot like it was back in the day.
