A post titled "Don't wait" from Reddit user u/ExistingWallflower in the subreddit r/fuckeatingdisorders. The post reads,

"For a long time I convinced myself that I needed to hit "rock bottom" to deserve to recover- that one day, I would have a dramatic revelation and suddenly believe that I'm worth the effort. That mindset kept me sick for years.

When I finally did enter recovery it was for no other reason aside from being utterly fed up with my life. I made the decision on a random Monday; no hospitalization, no come-to-jesus with a loved one, no arbitrary "sick enough" goal met. If you have a part of you that wants to live, no matter how small, that is more than enough. I desperately wish I could go back to the version of myself who spent so long postponing that initial leap and tell her that it is SO WORTH IT.

There is no perfect time to start recovery, and there is no wrong time either. You don't need to prove your suffering to anyone- ESPECIALLY not your eating disorder- before you deserve to take action. You are worthy of so much more than this life. I hope each and every one of us is able to find peace.

(Sorry if this was overly preachy- I was just reflecting on my progress today and feeling sappy 🥹)"

emotional processing is so funny because sometimes you’ll be violently sobbing on your bedroom floor over something that happened 4 years ago and then you’ll just. get up and make coffee. and go to the grocery store. and take all this fundamental sadness for a walk. and ponder the cosmic experiences of humanity while eating a sandwich. and that’s healing.

I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but intrusive thoughts are basically your brain’s (sometimes very upsetting) way of saying “If there were two guys on the moon and one of them killed the other with a rock would that be fucked up or what?”

I’ve personally found that adding the “would that be fucked or what?” part in myself really helps put the more disturbing thoughts we sometimes get into perspective. Helps me say “yeah thar sure would be fucked up” and move on with my day.

It’s not a secret desire, it’s not something that only occurs to you because you’re a bad person. It’s just your brain deciding to process the fact that it knows an uncomfortable thing exists in the world by feeding it to you in an absurd “what if” with you as the main character.

hi, a lot of you need a perspective reset

the average human lifespan globally is 70+ years

taking the threshold of adulthood as 18, you are likely to spend at least 52 years as a fully grown adult

at the age of 30 you have lived less than one quarter of your adult life (12/52 years)

'middle age' is typically considered to be between 45-65

it is extremely common to switch careers, start new relationships, emigrate, go to college for the first or second time, or make other life-changing decisions in middle age

it's wild that I even have to spell it out, but older adults (60+) still have social lives and hobbies and interests.

you can still date when you get old. you can still fuck. you can still learn new skills, be fashionable, be competitive. you can still gossip, you can still travel, you can still read. you can still transition. you can still come out.

young doesn't mean peaked. you're inexperienced in your 20s! you're still learning and practicing! you're developing social skills and muscle memory that will last decades!

there are a million things to do in the world, and they don't vanish overnight because an imaginary number gets too big
