Friendly reminder that there is no food even remotely close to the unhealthiness of an eating disorder.
Eat something today. Even if it’s just a bag of chips or a cookie, your body needs some kind of nutrients.

The version of you right now is deserving of love. Not you two years ago when you had more of your shit together, or the five years later version where you’ll surely be thriving. The version of you right now. The one that might just be okay, or is really struggling, or is bored and unproductive. That version deserves love. Having trouble accepting this is fine, but actively denying it is not. Your value is intrinsic, and finding confidence in that is mandatory.
Shoutout to everyone in school who suffers from a mental illness. I am so proud of you and admire your perseverance and strength!
❣️🍒 i wish everyone that sees this a very sweet february 🍒❣️
“Healthy eating” is context-specific and not accessible to everyone, but in general and roughly in order of priority, it entails
eating enough food
eating consistently
eating a variety of foods
eating foods you enjoy
That’s it! You don’t need to buy my book or come to my seminar or sign up for my program!

friendly reminder that if you have a hard time eating due to nausea or other chronic illness ickies, just eat what you can eat. even if it’s not particularly “healthy,” getting calories in your body to help it function is more important.
this applies to fat people, folks with eating disorders, and autistic people who can’t eat certain foods!!!!!!!! we need to eat. it’s okay to eat “unhealthy” foods, sugary foods, processed foods. especially if it’s the only thing you can eat.
no offense but your struggle is valid no matter how many people have it worse than you
Autistic Lifehack: Hearing Problems
If someone says something that you only partially understand:
DON’T ask for clarification with a generic “What?” or “I’m sorry?” (In my experience, people will repeat the phrase the exact same way without helping you to understand).
Example: Them: “Hey, do you like pahganabasa?” Autistic Person: “What?” Them: “Do you like pahganabasa?” Autistic Person: “I’m sorry, what?” Them (annoyed): “Do you like pahganabasa?”
Instead, DO repeat the part that you did understand, and substitute a “What?” for the unintelligable part.
Example: Them: “Hey, do you like pahganabasa?” Autistic Person: “Do I like what?” Them: “Pineapple pizza?” Autistic Person: (Understands the words!)
I’ve also had successes with “I’m sorry, I only heard the first half of that sentence,” or actually verbalizing my interpretation of the part I heard incorrectly as a question: “Pahgana… basa?”.
Sometimes that makes the speaker think that they might be mumbling, or verbalizing in a way that makes them difficult to understand (because there are times it’s really not your brain–it’s their mouth).
This is also a lifesaver if you have Auditory Processing Disorder. It stopped the amount of annoyed sighs because ppl thought I was deliberately ignoring them or them saying the same thing but louder (which does not help when volume isn’t the problem)
Things to Know When Getting Top Surgery
- It’s not as scary as it seems. You’ll be awake one minute, preparing for top surgery and be awaking up after top surgery (wondering if it really happened) the next.
- Chamomile tea and Benadryl can both help with itchiness after top surgery.
- You should not take T for a week after top surgery.
- Do not use icepacks or hot packs after top surgery (as they can destroy the healing skin).
- Bendy straws are your friend.
- You will probably need someone to help you sit up and lay down.
- Rest the first two days after top surgery, even if you don’t feel like you need to, you will thank yourself later.
- You can ask as many questions as you want. Getting top surgery is going to effect the rest of your life so you should ask any and all questions you have. You can also request certain specifications done to your chest.
- Drains may seems scary but they prevent some of the swelling and they promote healing. After your drains are out a lot of your pain goes away but the drains are definitely worth it.
- Always have someone with you for 24 hours after your surgery.
- The ace bandages that you have to wear after top surgery will feel a bit tight but won’t hurt nearly as much as binding.
- It might be hard to get on and off of high beds and chairs so make sure you have a step stool handy.
- Use pillows to prop yourself up.
- You have to sleep on your back after top surgery and should do so for 3 months if you get nipple grafts (the recommended time for sleeping on your back varies depending on who you ask but I still recommend 3 months just to be careful).
- After top surgery you should not lift your elbow above your shoulder for a few weeks (usually 6) or until you are healed.
- After top surgery you can not lift any more then five pounds (for about six weeks).
- Buy some button up/zip up shirts that are a couple sizes too big for you. You’ll need these to go over your drains.
- Shave your armpits before top surgery. The hair will get in the way of your bandages and possibly the surgeon while preforming surgery if you don’t.
- Go around the place you will be staying after top surgery with “T-rex” arms to see what maybe a problem for you after surgery and find a solution to it before you get home. (Ex. if you have to reach far into your sink to wash your hands it may be best to get a washbasin).
- If your results aren’t perfect they can always be revised.
- If your nipples are smaller then you’d like them to be, or oval when you want them to be round then you can always get a tattoo artist to tattoo around the outside of them to fix those imperfections. You can also get your nipples tattooed on instead of the nipple grafts.
- The nipple grafts require three weeks of dressings after surgery while the rest of your chest does not need nearly as much work.
- Your chest won’t look great after top surgery but over time it will look a lot better. They recommend waiting at least 3 months to a year after your surgery to get revisions.
- You might be really nauseous after top surgery and you might not be able to eat normal foods right away. Get some sourdough bread and ginger ale the day before your top surgery and allow the ginger ale to flatten just in case you can’t eat normal food.
- Have someone to talk to about what you are going through really helps.
(These are just recommendations and are in no way strict guidelines for what you should do when getting top surgery. I am also not a medical professional, so if you plan on following the above advice please ask the opinion of your doctor or surgeon before hand.)
Hopefully this will come in handy soon…
You can literally come back from anything. It’s all about ya mindset.
I’ve never ONCE seen one of these and not being just like…absolutely riddled with tension, so. Keep passing them around, I guess!
Needed that, thanks. 👍🏻

remember to cry for help without guilt-tripping. i know it feels like you’ve been abandoned and betrayed, but it’s probably not true, and it’s not okay to accuse the people around you of something they might not have done.
“i guess none of you like me” could be better phrased as “i feel unloved right now”
“but nobody cares anyway” could be better phrased as “i feel insignificant and i need reassurance”
rather than assuming others’ feelings, give them time to explain them. you’ll usually get a much better answer.
This is really important for future predictions, too. “You’re eventually going to leave me” is impossible for someone else to disprove without just sticking around forever, but no one wants to stick around when they’re being constantly accused of future abandonment. Giving someone no choice but to either stay with you forever in order to prove you wrong or leave you and prove you right is incredibly emotionally manipulative, whether you mean it to be or not.
“I get scared sometimes because I’m afraid of being alone again” is easier to address and doesn’t leave your partner(s)/friend(s) feeling as though they’re being preemptively accused of something.
these are called I Statements arnd are super healthy to focus on for general communication! Any time you feel the urge to call out others, say “you xyz”, try to think of a way to make it an I sttement instead. You cant control the actions and feelings of others; focus on properly communicating how YOU feel in a constructive manner and you’ll get a much more accurate read on reality, which will help support and ground you towards better decision making and engagements with others.
