Running Wilde

You can be fat and love your body.

You can be fat and attractive.

You can be fat and successful.

You can be fat and loved.

You can be fat and happy.

You can be fat and happy.

wherever you run; the run counts

however far you run; the run counts

however fast or slow you run it still counts

however you feel during the run (good or bad); the run still counts 

if you race or don’t race; your runs still count (and you ARE still a runner)

if you happen to wear your watch or ditch it; you still ran and it counts

whatever the outcome of the run; the run still counts

the run is meant to be releasing. releasing of endorphins, worries, anxiety, fear, stress, etc. the run is meant to be fun. the run is meant to connect you; connect you with your surroundings, to the love of the sport, to the gratitude for being able to move your body

here here here (there’s more sites saying the same thing)

it’s called PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) and it’s basically PMS but make it Super Hardcore, it’s a hormonal disorder and to my knowledge they’re not exactly sure what causes it - there’s theories tho - but there seems to be little research on it anyway. As I said it’s similar to PMS in terms of symptoms [mood swings, lethargy, cramps, changed sleeping pattern, libido, appetite] but the symptoms get so severe that they are interfering with your daily life and impacting it negatively. Especially in terms of psychological symptoms, while it doesn’t go that far for everyone who has it and also not every month, a lot of the people who experience it are sent into a severe depressive episode beause of it and it’s really not rare at all for them to experience legitimate suicidal thoughts that go away the second they get their period (or up to two days in from what I’ve read).

I’ve read different claims on how many people it affects, some sources say 5%, others 8%, others say 2% so I don’t know about that, but menstruating people need to know this lmao. Not knowing that your suicidality is caused by a literal physical disorder that you have can be so dangerous, especially when you already struggle with such issues anyway or are trying to recover from mental illness and don’t realize that your “relapses” are symptoms of an actual disorder.

Important reminder: Everyone on the internet is a real person.

Go read this. It’s really important.

“When I was young there were beatniks. Hippies. Punks. Gangsters. Now you’re a hacktivist. Which I would probably be if I was 20. Shuttin’ down MasterCard. But there’s no look to that lifestyle! Besides just wearing a bad outfit with bad posture. Has WikiLeaks caused a look? No! I’m mad about that. If your kid comes out of the bedroom and says he just shut down the government, it seems to me he should at least have an outfit for that.”
