Let's Talk About ED

idk who needs to hear this but your body is loveable 

#if i have body issues i will imagine winona ryder yelling at me about it

i definitely needed this.

Do not touch your body with bad intentions. Rub your belly when it is full. Stroke your soft skin. Hug yourself, even if it’s silly, because it feels nice. Pleasure yourself. Do not touch your body with bad intentions. Do not pinch at the fat on your stomach. Do not scratch at your skin. Do not hate the shell you’re encased in.

Come to think of it i hardly ever look at someone and think they’re ugly? they just are what they are and i don’t think of anything further than that. at the end of the day what sticks with me are the impressions people leave, things like how much they smile/laugh/feel genuine to me. I’ve never really met someone ‘ugly’ in my life unless time proved their personalities otherwise.

How does a dude end up with anorexia though? I’m assuming he’s straight…

What an ignorant ass question. Men are not immune to eating disorders, and neither are heterosexuals. Seriously what the hell kind of question is that?

me: *loves you* me: *believes in you*

start now. start where you are. start with fear. start with pain. start with doubt. start with what you have. start and don’t stop. you can do it

Sometimes just existing is a great act of bravery. You are a warrior for fighting to survive in a world that can be so harsh. 

One thing that gets ignored a lot when it comes to mental illness is conflicting symptoms. I sleep both too much and not enough. There will be weeks or months where I’m averaging three to four hours of sleep on a weekday, but on weekends I sleep until 1 pm. Some days I don’t eat my first meal until 4 or 5 pm, while other days I comfort eat all day. All of those are symptoms of depression, and none of them invalidate each other. Manifestation of symptoms can change as a person ages, but it can also change day to do depending on other factors in a person’s life.
