Think Anorexia is funny? Sorry. I am a survivor and find NOTHING cute about this.

Wanna dress up like an Anorexic? All it takes is:

4 years of hospitalization 

A nasogastric feeding-tube because you’ve starved yourself so much that your body doesn’t recognize food as a good thing and tries to attack itself.

Re-Feeding Syndrome, which can kill you. 

Emotional struggles for years. 

A father crying and pleading on his knees begging for you to get help

A mother who cries every time she sees you because you look and SMELL like death.

Holidays missed, birthdays crying in a hospital.

Almost every major organ in your body failing.

A shower chair - because you can’t stand in the shower because you’re too weak and the warm water could make you pass out.

A wheelchair, because you are too weak to walk and it could make you go into cardiac arrest.

A lifetime of medications for anxiety and the health issues “Anna Rexia” caused.

Plenty of money for multiple ER trips due to “Anna Rexia” even in recovery.

And if you don’t get help like I do, or even if you do, a coffin. Because I’ve lost more friends to this eating disorder then anything I’ve ever faced.

I almost died from this. I know it’s supposed to be funny and shit and yeah I get that, but seriously. THIS IS NOT FUNNY. Anorexia is nothing to party about or laugh at. It’s real, it’s deadly, and should not be marketed as a slutty outfit.

I don’t know about you, or anything about what you are personally struggling with, but I literally went from eating absolutely nothing and purging everything I put into my body to eating plant-based foods, because it is the only thing that I felt safe eating.

When my mother saw me in the kitchen one morning having a banana, she started crying. When I told my sister, yes, I’d go out to eat with her, even though I was just going to order a salad, she was beyond ecstatic and delighted.

hey guys!!!

so this entire past month has been extremely, extremely stressful for me because i had so many exams and i only realised how hideously unprepared i was for them on the day before the exam, which was really really awful. so in the middle of september i created a studyblr to keep myself motivated + get some helpful tips from the studyblr community on how to go abt studying for tests. the results proved to be super helpful and ive resolved to keep running this blog for as long as i can, because it really helps me stay motivated and i’ve already learned so many things from the community, despite the fact that i’ve only been here for around a month.

but anyways, i decided to create this masterpost in order to help others stay motivated + keep studying not only well but also properly i.e. not necessarily studying for exams but life in general, if that makes sense.
