*You don’t have to conform to society’s ‘mental health checklist’ to be struggling

No one gives a fuck about you or your eating disorder unless you’re frail and look like you’re dying. Millions of men and women sufferi from ednos, bulimia, binge eating and even anorexia go unnoticed because they don’t “look sick” This is why none of us get help. Because we all feel like we’ll get looked down upon for saying “hey I have an eating disorder” if we don’t look the part. We feel embarrassed to be getting help because we feel like if we aren’t on the edge of death then we’re healthy. Even though we know in our hearts that we aren’t healthy and that we are struggling, our minds, because of society, force us to believe that we shouldn’t recover because we don’t have it as bad as someone else.

a reminder that if you messed up yesterday it’s ok and today is a new day so just pick yourself up and start up again. You can do this! I believe in you!
