Cigarettes make you calm.

Alcohol makes you forget.

Drugs make you happy.

Starving makes you proud.

Sex makes you feel loved.

Self-harm makes you numb.

Sleep makes you stop feeling.

-you will be cold. So cold. Even if it’s 60 degrees outside, your hands and feet will be freezing. Layer blankets on your bed and drink warm drinks to get through it.

-you will be moody as hell. You will be angry most likely and feel like the world is against you personally. Watch your tone and make sure you try to think rationally before expressing negative emotions towards others.

-you will likely have stomach cramps for a short period if you go from eating a normal calorie amount daily to eating under it for multiple days.

-you will feel nauseous if you drink too much water/tea. Stretching and tums help with that (plus tums provide calcium!).

-headaches. Take an ibuprofen, burrito yourself in blankets, and take a nap.

-you will be excessively tired all the time. The lack of glucose and fat energy from foods means your body will have to get energy from secondary resources like muscle mass and, later on, fat. Your body isn’t a big fan of that and will put you in a state of “sleep so I can get more energy thanks.” Sleep 5 hours, wake up for 20 minutes in the middle of the night (make some tea, do a bit of slow and steady exercise, nothing exerting), then sleep 6 more hours. This will help your body be put on a normal schedule and when you wake up you will feel much more rested. Also helps lower the chance of a bad headache later in the day.

-you will want to eat everything in sight, but if you do, you will probably feel sick. Drink something, make a normal meal or whatever you’re comfortable with, and eat it slowly. You’ll feel better (physically) after eating something.

-you will begin to feel distant and distracted. If this happensa lot, eating something is one of the few solutions.
