too old for this shit.

They typical anorexic is shown as the perfect, smiling student, studying the whole night, getting perfect grades, doing workout after workout and never eating

And while that may be true for some, in my experience most people are totally different from what's known as the perfect anorexic.

For me it's struggling the whole day and night, if I should eat, what I should eat.

It's struggling to even get up because your body can't take starvation anymore.

It's sleeping the whole day, because you're missing nutrients and you were kept awake by your thoughts the whole night.

It's being freezingly cold, which results in you not being able to do anything with your fingers for example writing.

It's the time consumption taking everything away from you. Your family, your hobbies, your school work.

It's binging that makes you feel like you failed as an anorexic.

Not only your organs failing but also your will to live, your energy, your grades, your hygiene, your hobbies, your friends, your family.

if you’re like me and have an eating disorder that causes you to not get enough nutrients for it to be healthy for your hair, you know it can be really stressful to witness it become damaged or fall out. Considering a part of ED’s are often being obsessive of appearance (i am very guilty of this lol) it can lead down bad paths of more stress. Here i am going to list the ways i practice ana harm reduction to keep my hair as good as i can <3

if you are in recovery i am so proud of you and you are amazing, please know this (along with the rest of my blogs content) can be triggering so if you need to scroll or leave now, no judgement, you’ve gotta care for you!

DISCLAIMER: I will just say the things listed below the cut are just my person experiences and what i’ve learned, i am not a trained professional nor do i have plans to become one. also disclaimer i am white and have naturally stick straight hair, if you have curls or a different hair texture it may be different for you!
