“1. Get that overpriced top-end mascara. It’s much cheaper than the hospitals and treatment centers. So go ahead. Buy the $23 mascara and go home and feel like a goddess. 2. The ultimate paradox of getting better is this: You cannot have a life until you are well, but you cannot be well until you have a life. Almost all of your struggles in recovery will come from this. 3. You must start creating a life, even if you don’t feel completely better yet. I know you love to-do lists, so fill them now with tasks to help you connect with the world again. Texting that friend you haven’t talked to in ages. Applying to that job. Writing letters. Reading books. These things are more of your recovery than the meal plans and doctors and perfectly-filtered pictures of your oatmeal will ever be. 4. The problems your eating disorder helped you to run from are going to be back and all-too-alive when you hit a certain point. The idea that recovery is nothing but ice cream and sunshine is a lie. If it was raining when you left, it will be raining when you come back. Don’t quit therapy. You are going to need to learn to deal with the clouds in a new way, and it’s going to be pretty terrible sometimes. 5. You may find yourself thinking about the eating disorder now more than ever. While you’re walking to class, talking to friends. It will be a drumbeat in the back of your head, whispering, “you’re not sick anymore, but remember when…” 6. You will look at sick photos and have the odd sensation of both wanting to go back and feeling that even your lowest wasn’t enough. It will leave knots in your stomach, because you will feel your get-out-of-life free card fading. If not your sickest, how much will it take to finally get the comfort you’ve been searching for? It will occur to you that the sense of peace for which you were destroying your life was all just a mirage. You will quickly tuck this terrifying thought away. 7. Recovery is not life. Recovery is a protected, pre-portioned, planned path towards Better, and life is none of those things. Life is messy. Life is heartbreaking. Life is excessive and bright and bold. 8. You were wired in such away that the world has always felt a bit too loud. Studies show that criticism hits your brain harder than your friends’, that you empathize more deeply with those around you, that you are more sensitive to pain. You became a professional harm-avoider not because you were weak, but because you were trying to survive. Don’t compare yourself to others. Remember that your brain has the volume turned up much louder than theirs. 9. At some point, the unfairness of this all will hit you. This is good sign. It means you are coming to believe two important truths that you before never quite internalized: 1. You did not choose this. 2. You did not deserve this. 10. When the eating disorder leaves, there will be a gaping space where it once was. You will not know what to do with this. You will first try to fill it with Recovery. Then you may try other things: A relapse. An obsession with fitness. A boy. A girl. Constant reminiscing on your illness. You will wonder what on earth you filled this space with before getting sick. 11. I know you feel like you should have it figured out by now, and I know how much you hate uncertainty. But the truth is that learning how to fill this vacancy is going to be a lifelong pursuit. And you have only just begun. 12. Here’s the important part: Everyone around you is doing just the same. Those still in their eating disorders have plugged up their holes with illness and destruction, but you’re not one of them anymore. You are one of the vulnerable again, and unlike them, every day you are becoming. 13. The pain of becoming is constant and real. 14. In the end, you will have a whole life to show for it.”

Ok so this post is extremely long and I put it all together for my blogs Feeling sad page but as I don’t have a huge amount of followers I realize so many people are not seeing this information so I’m posting it here too!
alternatives without harming yourself:
holding/squeezing ice.
splashing your face with water.
getting a rubber band and snapping it against your skin (this could hurt, though it’s better than other ways that people usually choose to self-harm).
take a hot shower or bath.
eat something sour. it will take your mind of the urge. (lemon, sour lollies)
massage where you want to self-harm.
get a red pen or red paint and draw/paint over where you usually self-harm.
remind yourself as to why you shouldn’t do it. (scars, harms organs, leave memories etc…)
describe what you are feeling. (is the urge/pain in your chest, fists, legs, arms, head).
killing yourself will not help. it is not a solution.
you have your whole life ahead of you. you have so many more years that you can accomplish things in. for example;
having a family.
getting married.
to watch the sun rise.
to watch the sun set.
to save someone else’s life.
finish school.
get your dream job.
to laugh.
to smile.
to go camping.
travel to new places.
to wake up every morning to the person you love.
friends.
family.
to keep that promise you made.
to accomplish a goal.
to meet your idol.
to listen to new music.
theme parks.
video games.
chocolate.
to be able to look back and say “i made it”.
what you’re going through is temporary.
in case you need to hear this:
you are loved.
you are wanted.
you are needed.
you are beautiful.
you are handsome.
you are important.
you are not alone.
you are okay.
you are strong.
you are worth it.
you are smart.
you are not a failure.
you are useful.
you are going to be okay.

reblog because I could save someone with this
Don’t be so hard on yourself. Do the best you can with what you have.
plus size wlw are so underrepresented and shunted off to the side but I just wanna tell all those who are that you’re fucking beautiful and you will find someone just as beautiful and deserving of love as you I promise
hey guys! today we’re talking about eating disorder recovery. this has been highly requested for some time. i’m going to share a little bit about what to expect from recovery and how to cope, as well as what my personal experience was like. so without further ado, let’s get into it!
your metabolism is not dead. your body is very smart, so it will adapt to whatever you put it through…
as you begin to eat more, your metabolism will adjust to your higher calorie intake. you will gain a bit of weight at first, but eventually your body will function normally again and your bmr (basal metabolic rate- the amount of calories you burn each day) will also return to normal.
stretchmarks may appear on your body. this does not mean you’re fat! it means that your body is growing quickly, as you’re likely eating a lot of calories in recovery. i have stretchmarks on my thighs and breasts from recovery, and i’m still underweight. stretchmarks do not = fat. stretchmarks = growth.
don’t refuse to eat because then you’ll get tubed, and it’s not pleasant. a feeding tube will give you the same amount of calories that the food will… so if you can (i know it might be too hard but please try), choose to eat! take this time to enjoy the food you have been deprived of for so long. having a tube shoved through your nose is not fun.
if you are allowed to do so, take up strength training! i cannot emphasise enough how much lifting weights helped me get through recovery. it’s a fantastic way to cope. turn some of those extra calories into muscle! i used to think that “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” but boy i was wrong… food tastes pretty dang amazing, and being strong is so much better than being skinny!
strength training is also a good way to eat more calories while remaining relatively lean. i personally gained a lot of fat back in the stomach area, but lifting weights completely changed my body’s composition- now i have abs while eating 2000+ calories a day.
if you’re not allowed to exercise, try doing some yoga or taking walks. exercise has so many benefits and can help you cope with the stress of recovery. but if you aren’t able to be active, don’t worry! right now is a time for rest and healing.
a lot of the weight you will gain is recovery is not actual fat. it’s water, food, or waste that’s contributing to the number on the scale. after leaving recovery it’s very likely that you’ll notice a large drop in your weight. this is mostly because of water retention. the purpose of recovery isn’t to make you fat, i promise.
binging:
during this time, you may start to experience binge eating. this is completely normal after a period of severe food restriction. your brain is sending signals to your body to eat as much as possible, because it doesn’t know when the next period of starvation will be.
once you reach a healthy weight and/or replenish any nutrient deficiencies, you will stop binging. it is not forever. try to go with the flow and allow your body to restore itself.
many people who have a restrictive eating disorder like anorexia will eventually develop binge eating disorder. so if it happens to you, don’t feel bad about yourself. you’re not a failure or a pig or someone with no self control. it happens to lots of people! it happened to me. your pain and struggles are completely valid.
however, if binging becomes a lasting problem that is causing you a lot of distress, it may be time to seek help. for tips on how to deal with and prevent binging, check out my masterpost on binge eating here.
bloating:
it’s common knowledge that bloating can be intense during recovery. your digestive system is having to adjust to your higher food intake. your stomach actually shrinks when you’re starving, so right now it’s expanding back to a normal size. (please note that the shrinkage of your stomach does not affect how flat your belly looks. there is nothing positive about stomach shrinkage. your stomach is an organ.)
one of my biggest tips to avoid bloating is to eat liquid foods, or foods high in calories. a lot of people in recovery eat around 3000 calories a day… that’s a lotta food! eat things like avocado, nuts + nut butters, granola, and other high-cal things. or you can choose to drink your calories in shakes or smoothies. this helps you hit your calorie target without eating so much food you feel sick.
the usual tips: drink hot tea to settle your stomach, or use a heating pad. lying down in bed can also help. take your time eating your food.
you shouldn’t be ashamed of your belly, but the bloating may make you self-conscious and that’s okay. if you feel more comfortable, wear baggy shirts and hoodies. everyone will understand. i practically lived in big sweaters during the first few months of recovery… just remember that this won’t last forever. once your stomach gets used to food, the bloating will stop.
bloating is not fat!
(i’ll probably make a more in-depth post on dealing with bloating, so stay tuned for that.)
appearance:
an eating disorder can cause your appearance to suffer. your hair becomes damaged and falls out in clumps, your teeth rot, your skin and nails become brittle… and so on. the first step to looking healthy, of course, is eating enough food. but here’s a few more tips to repair some of that damage.
hair- don’t wash your hair with shampoo every day, as this can strip your hair of its natural oils. try to wear your hair up when you can to minimize breakage. take a multivitamin designed for replenishing hair- and stay hydrated! you can also try a keratin spray, which is a protein to repair damaged hair. i use one (just found at my local drugstore) and it is a total game changer.
nails- take off all your nail polish and let your poor nails breathe. then soak them in warm water. there are also vitamins out there for healthy nails.
teeth- go to the dentist and get your teeth cleaned and checked for any cavities. that’s always the first step. eating disorders can cause your teeth enamel to weaken, resulting in inflamed gums and yellow or crooked teeth… that may even fall out. you should floss and brush daily. avoid acidic foods and drinks! and try a baking soda toothpaste and/or a flouride mouth rinse to help restore your enamel.
skin- the important thing here is to drink lots of water. your skin may be dry and patchy, covered in acne, or easily irritated as a result of your disorder. once again i suggest taking a vitamin. some other tips are to avoid hot showers, try not to touch your face, and use a gentle facial cleanser at night. i personally love cetaphil because it’s so gentle but effective. if you have acne, medication can help if needed, but you should avoid using tons of products on your skin. (a cleanser and a moisturizer will suffice.)
don’t worry about eating healthy right now. just worry about eating. also, eating “bad” foods- like ice cream and burgers and pizza- is actually encouraged during recovery. it’s exposure therapy, in a way, and it helps to rewire your brain and improve your relationship with food. where you get your calories from won’t affect how much weight you gain… a calorie is a calorie.
have a support system! this is extremely important. having loved ones by your side throughout this hard time will make it much more bearable. don’t underestimate the power of company. it will motivate and comfort you. no one should be alone when they’re going through recovery.
to any teens out there: remember that teenagers burn a ton of calories, since they’re growing like crazy. the recommended amount for a sedentary teen girl is 1800. for active teens, the number is definitely over 2000 and sometimes even around 3000. teen boys need even more calories! there are a lot of low-cal diets out there that are total bullshit, but are just straight-up dangerous for teenagers. by not eating enough, you are stunting your growth and slowing down your metabolism. my maintenance calories are around 2000, and i’m only about 100 lbs. a vast majority of teens really underestimate the amount of cals that they actually need!
never be afraid to ask for help if you’re concerned about your mental health. even if you think you’re not sick enough or don’t deserve help. you do. i promise.
and remember that you are not your disorder. you are not your intrusive thoughts, or a number on the scale. you are a unique and amazing and beautiful human with people who love you- and that’s the tea.
types of treatment:
inpatient- this is typically prescribed for those who have medical issues, are severely underweight, or are refusing to eat. you stay in a hospital setting, days and nights, where you can be monitored and treated by medical professionals. you can expect regular lab tests (blood draws, urine samples, scans), weigh-ins, and meetings with the hospital psychologist. exercise is usually not allowed. if you refuse to eat, you will be given a feeding tube. the main goal for inpatient treatment is weight restoration and resolving any health issues. it is a short term solution.
outpatient- there are a variety of outpatient programs out there, and this type of treatment is more convenient and less intrusive. you go to a treatment center for a few hours each day and work with a team of medical professionals, but you don’t stay overnight and you can live your life pretty much normally. however this is not recommended for people who live alone, because there’s no one to hold you accountable outside of the treatment center. this is the most commonly prescribed method of treatment.
residential- this is when you go to a group home to get treatment. you stay there full time, days and nights, and there’s more of a focus on therapy. it’s a good way to make friends and be around people who are struggling like you are. it’s also much more relaxed than inpatient hospitalization. residential treatment programs are recommended for more severe cases, when medical issues are resolved.
the family-based approach is very effective for teenagers with anorexia. you can find out more here.

10 tips to get your life together
1. Start a skincare routine
I know this sounds silly but this is a very easy and simple way to make you feel motivated and organised. Starting a skin routine will not only make you feel better, it will also make you feel healthier and more confident. It only takes 10 minutes, morning and night, and you can cater your skin routine to fit your personal needs. Also it will make your skin look AMAZING.
2. Start a diary/to-do list
My tip for this, coming from an excessive procrastinator, is only put 3 things to do each day. This way you don’t overwhelm yourself with tasks, and it is easy to complete and after you have done it you will feel a lot better about yourself. Instead of doing 15 things in one day, do 3 things a day for a period of 5 days. Starting a to-do list/diary will give you the push to actually do what you have put on it. Writing down all of the things that you have to do will make the tasks seem easier and it will be less overwhelming.
3. Read a book
Reading a book that you enjoy, not one that you have to read, is a great way to clear your mind. I recommend reading for 30 minutes before going to bed. Make sure you have the book in a physical copy, not on your phone/other electronic devise, as using these before bed can negatively affect your sleep. This kills two birds with one stone: Reading, and not going on your phone before bed
4. Exercise!
Whether this is 15 star jumps in the morning or 3 hours in the gym, exercise is a great way to feel more confident about yourself. Also, when you exercise, your body releases endorphins which make you happy! :) This will also help you to be healthier which is an added bonus.
5.Do your homework the night you get it
Obviously this is only if its possible, but leaving your homework until the night before its due in is a terrible habit to get into, which just ends up in you feeling stressed. Getting your homework out of the way the night it’s set will help you feel more prepared and less worried.
6. Read ahead
About to start a new topic? Read ahead. This means you will be ahead of everyone in your class, which will make you feel more confident, and it means that once it is taught to you, you will have a better understanding of it and if you don’t understand anything, you can ask once it is taught.
7. Clean your room every night
Cleaning your room every night will mean that you will feel more organised and you won’t have much to clean up the next night. Trying to work in a messy room will make you feel unmotivated and you will be more likely to procrastinate.The same goes for if your desk is messy. A clean room is a clean mind!
8. Make your bed in the morning
I see this posted everywhere, but still people don’t understand the importance of it! Making your bed in the morning will make you feel prepared and you will start your day will a clear mind. Its one thing off of your list of things to do.
9. Drink lots of water!
Being dehydrated can be a cause for headaches, fatigue and many other things that will make you feel unmotivated and down. Drinking at least 5 glasses of water a day will not only make you healthier, it will also make you feel generally better and happier.
10. Get at least 8 hours sleep!
This one is so important! For teenagers, 7 or less hours sleep is considered as sleep deprivation. Being sleep deprived can cause things such as: Bad concentration skills, a lack of motivation and also decreases your chances of remembering something by 40%! Enough sleep is crucial for having a good day and getting those A* grades your aiming for!
Any questions, feel free to ask!
Every little bit helps. Smiling to people as you walk by them, acknowledging them, taking a minute to ask people how they're doing...these things may seem small to you, but to people who may be depressed, it makes a difference. You never know how much that smile can do, or that friendly conversation.
