[clustcrhug-deactivated20220301]

me when i restrict and lose weight and decide to celebrate by bingeing and gaining most of it back

[womanism]

due to personal reasons i will isolate myself and induce a deep empty void inside myself.

What to do if you suddenly find yourself homeless

FOOD

Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food

grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread

different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.

some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit

SHELTER

Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment

sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it

Some churches offer short term residence

Find your nearest homeless shelter

Look for places that are open to the public

A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry

HYGIENE

A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.

Public libraries have bathrooms you can use

Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.

Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver

Local beaches, go for a quick swim

Some truck stops have showers you can pay for

Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet

Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket

OTHER

first aid kit

 sunscreen

 a travel alarm clock or watch

 mylar emergency blanket

 a backpack is a must

 downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards

 sleeping bag

 travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror

 swiss army knife

 can opener

Save a life reblog

[kukachoosays]

i am so glad that i renblogged this however so long ago. i saw this post and shared it with others in mind, but now i am the one who really needs this. id like to think of this as good karma i guess

[comrade-jiang]

also a good list if anyone ever needs to run away from home for whatever reason.

[incoherentscreamsforhelp-deacti]

^^ need this for myself, as well

[boypussyomad-deactivated2024061]

i love this community but you know what i really love? when people leave. when they say "i'm out, i want to recover." it brings me peace knowing that someone might just be okay, and hope that the rest of us might follow in their footsteps.

so if you're leaving, here's to you.

if you're not ready to leave, here's to you too.

and remember, wherever you are in your journey, you deserve to recover and be happy.

rb to give a flower to the person you rb this from

[pur3tr4zh]

everyone is ”understanding” about your mental illness(es) until you start showing symptoms ::D

and no i do not mean blaming mental illnesses for your shitty behaviour, that is a completely different thing

i mean stuff like not being able to reply to messages in days, maybe even weeks. not being able to see anyone/meet up with anyone or canceling plans. being so numb you can’t cry when you’re ”supposed” to cry (like at a funeral etc.)

suddenly they’re not as understanding about all that as they said they were

[ghost-of-sorrows-deactivated202]

fucking creepy ass mf please block this guy

[stabslut]

^ my msg with him

:/

he told me to cut his initial into me too lol

i mean i did it which kinda sucks

[dainty-dying-pixie]

I'm sorry you had to go through that. Im proud of you for blocking him though, I know how scary that can be especially when you've already sent stuff. It is NOT your fault that you fell victim to that manipulative piece of trash. /g

[pezpenserrr-deactivated20221113]

another reminder that this guy is a groomer and has leaked multiple teenager’s nudes. ill never stop posting about this mf until hes gone.

[zenssscared]

ughh this is disgusting, report this creep >:1

[pur3tr4zh]

report. report. report.

[2o5]

why do mfs always espect anorexics to be all nice and sweet and compliant and shit??? like mf we are all hangry with so much pent up resentment to the world that we could beat you to death with one hand.

where does that stereotype even come from

[putorexico-deactivated20241107]

~misogyny~

[betterthandieing-deactivated202]

This shitty because a. Expecting people with anorexia or really any fucking mental illnesses to be sweet and kind and put up with everyones shit is shitty in general. If you’re going through an ed than you’re gonna feel shitty and often that feeling with manifest as being angry and bitter (it does for me) And b. There the fact that as mentioned above that this stereotype is based in misogyny. This is not only bad because misogyny is obviously bad but also because this stereotype kinda assumes that someone with anorexia is a girl.

[putorexico-deactivated20241107]

Yep, it surprises me every time that people still believe anorexia is just a white cishet teen girl mental illness for whatever fucking reason. And even with people who fall in that category, it’s romanticized asf like OP mentioned, people acting surprised when you’re not “delicate” and overly sweet and frail.

In many people’s eyes if you’re not in that category, then you’re just not taken seriously.

[us3rg1rlb0ss-deactivated2023101]

no one talks about the anger issues that comes with having an eating disorder

[anadevilsworld]

as a toddler they showed me pictures of disney princesses with waists the size of the quarters and said isn’t she beautiful ?

in elementary school they put everyone on the line and said the number of beeps you made it to in the pacer was a measure of your grade, worth, and health

in middle school they gave us each 10 m&ms and then we went on a walk, counting the steps until we’d walked far enough to burn them off

in high school my running coaches gave us a number that was the ideal weight for runners and worked harder for the girls that hit that number

in college i would come home to grandparents praising how much weight i’d lost and fondly calling me tiny

and then they all turn around and ask me why are you like this? why can’t you stop thinking about this? why are you so obsessed?

do you think this is beautiful?

no. but you told me it was

[abysswefall-deactivated20230505]

I just want everything to be in single serving packaging.
