I would like a moment to thank the people who reblog post like this so that it eventually shows on my dash.

It is keeping me alive

sometimes people who are sad dont always need the “it gets better talk”

sometimes people just want to hear “you are sad, you are trying your best, and it’s okay. you’re okay and you’re alive and that’s a big accomplishment”

because i know for myself unconditional optimism gets really fucking annoying. sometimes i just want to be sad and have it be okay that im sad.

don’t make me feel weirder than i already do in my own skin.

Recovery is not JUST about getting enough calories in so you can move on. Recovery is mentally recovering as well. It’s about becoming free from food, while also loving it. Challenging the ED is tough, you don’t know when you genuinely don’t like something, when you are genuinely full, or when you can learn to trust your body. It is very possible you don’t have hunger because you are not challenging the ED and it is still provoking anxiety within you that makes you not want to eat. Calories are important…do what you can to meet the minimums, but do what you can to break out of your ED comfort zones (even little by little) every day as well. You may find yourself being surprised at the foods you crave once you break out of your habits.

You look healthy. And by that I don’t mean you look fat. I mean your face isn’t grey any more, the circles under your eyes aren’t so dark. Your lips aren’t cracked and dry and your hair isn’t thinning and brittle. I mean you seem more focused when I talk to you, You actually look at me and listen rather than being so unable to stay still or think about anything other than your illness that your eyes dart around the room and you nod manically the whole time I’m speaking. You seem calmer, stiller, quieter. You’re easier to have a joke with and you take things on board much more than you used to. I mean you laugh now, you’re less serious. There’s life about you, it’s in your eyes and your smile, it’s in the way you speak and even in the way you go about your daily tasks.  You look healthy. You look happy. It really, really suits you.

Last night I went to Starbucks and when the guy finished my drink, he bent down and wispered, “Don’t let anyone dull your sparkle.” I just smiled and took my drink, and while I was leaving I heard the other worker saying: “WOULD YOU STOP TELLING PEOPLE THAT, NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR INSPIRATIONAL SHIT!” and the guy responded with, “Gurl, there is no way in hell I am letting you dull my sparkle.”

i think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy

because they know what it’s like to feel absolutely worthless

and they don’t want anybody else to feel like that

What if you wake up one morning and you’re in bed with the love of your life and they have their arm around you and their snoring like a fucking ass hole, but you can’t help but to smile and you hear a baby crying and it finally hits you, you’ve made it. you beat the demons inside you, the voices, the darkness. I look forward to that, to knowing I made it.

i should get a degree for recovery. it takes more time and work than anything else.

[psychah-delic]

recovering is strong

eating is strong

ignoring the voices is strong

refusing to give in is strong

recovering is not weak

[recoverydomain-deactivated20150]

True.

It’s really fucked that we can just say we puked or we have a sore throat and stay home from school but we can’t say I’m too sad to go to school or I want to jump off a bridge and school isn’t the best place for me right now. Mental illnesses are just as serious as any physical illness.

Parents need to realize this.
