in love with too many female actresses and slightly obsessed with dogs

I love how their post says “A better, more positive Tumblr” as if female nipples are what’s ruining the experience on this website and not bullies, racists, homophobes and actual nazis

I almost didn’t blog this and felt guilty

I hope October will be a good month for everyone

Last time I reblogged a post with good vibes it worked, and I had a month full of awesome surprises. I really, REALLY hope and wish everyone experiences that. It’s great, and everyone deserves it.

Ok so I rly fucking need to clean my house. Do any other People With Depression™ have any tips or ways you motivate urself to clean? Because this feels like the hardest goddamn thing in the world even tho I know it’s not and I’m just continually frustrated with myself and have been for the past two weeks.

HOO BOY DO I HAVE DEPRESSION/EXECUTIVE DYSFUNCTION CLEANING TIPS

in no particular order (because I have depression and executive dysfunction):

1. If something sensory about cleaning bothers you, eliminate that before you start. For example, I wear gloves to do the dishes. If the sound of the vacuum bothers you, wear headphones and turn up the music. etc.

2. If you can, make a list of everything that needs to be done. Then acknowledge that you probably can’t do it all, and circle all the things that absolutely, no matter what, have to be done. Pick one (ONE! ONLY ONE! START WITH ONE!) of those things and break it down into smaller steps. Then even smaller steps. Seriously, if step one is “stand up” and step two is “walk to closet” and step 3 is “get mop”, that’s fine. It can be that small.

3. Take a break. “But I literally only started five minutes ago!” Don’t care. If you want a break, take a break. “At this point I’ve spent more time on breaks than I’ve spent on cleaning.” Ok, but you’ve spent more than zero time on cleaning, so you’ve accomplished more than you had at the beginning. “If I take a break it won’t get done!” If you burn out it won’t get done either. Take a break.

4. If nothing is working, try what I call bin cleaning/box cleaning. Take a big trash bag and a box. Pick up the first object you see. Step 1: Is it trash? Put it in the trash bag. Step 2: Will you use it in the next 2 days? No? Put it in the box. It’s a problem for Future You. If you’ll use it in the next 2 days, take time to put it away. Rinse and repeat.

5. Did you get distracted and forget what you were doing? Don’t worry about it. Just clean a thing. It doesn’t matter if it’s the thing you were cleaning before. You have to clean lots of things, so just pick a thing and clean it. Eventually you’ll get around to the thing you forgot.

6. If you have to do a thing you really hate, do a thing you like afterwards. I hate doing dishes, but folding laundry soothes me, so that’s a nice one to do afterwards. YMMV. If there are no cleaning things you like that you can do afterwards, see number 3.

7. Make it fun. Play loud music and dance while you’re cleaning. Wear something that makes you feel cute, or if you prefer, something comfy. Light your favorite candle. Whatever.

8. If it’s nice out, open a window. Seriously, it helps.

right now you might be in a situation that you think you won’t survive but six months ago you were in a situation that you didn’t think you’d survive and two years before that you were in a situation you didn’t think you’d survive and the point is you will always surprise yourself and you will always make it through

So I was talking to my counsellor a few weeks ago, and she always refers to anorexia as an addiction like alcoholism.

She always says that an alcoholic will continue to drink even though they know they are damaging themselves - they continue the behaviour because it has become an unbreakable habit, and they don’t want to admit to there being a problem/give up the behaviour.

She said anorexia is the same as this, which I partly agree with, but also disagree.

In my experience with anorexia, I think I was at one point conscious that the behaviours I was engaging in were damaging me - and I was fully aware I was carrying out the behaviours and for what purpose I was doing them (i.e. I was purposely engaging in behaviours because I knew they would damage me, yet I didn’t care or have the energy to care)

Yet I also think I got to the point that I really managed to believe that what I was/am doing (by the ways of restricting and purging) is not harmful at all. On a daily basis, I imagine myself to have eaten double the amount of what I actually have, and find it very difficult to see that what I’ve eaten in a day isn’t very much (calorie, density and portion wise) and is actually very restrictive.

So I often feel like I don’t choose to restrict actively; I feel it’s almost subconscious, and that I don’t recognise at all that what I am doing is having a negative impact on my wellbeing. I’m simply doing what I believe is logical and right in response to the signals my brain is giving me, and thus don’t see it as a damaging, but habitual behaviour.

Obviously I’m not throwing her theory out the window at all - I definitely agree that a percentage of the time we DO choose to restrict our caloric intake and avoid addressing the problem, or thinking about the damage we are doing, simply because we don’t want to give up the behaviour = addiction.

But I think that when someone with an eating disorder is completely consumed, they definitely have such distorted thoughts that it becomes difficult to identify that the behaviours you are engaging in and have become your norm, are actually the exact opposite of normal. And it’s not a case of denial - it’s a case of simply believing the lies the disorder is telling you and being naive to the fact they are far from the truth.

Doctors and therapists always say that a starved mind is incapable of logical thinking, and I think that the malnourishment of the mind definitely plays a part in my little theory.

This is just a little something I’ve been thinking about, and it would be awesome to know if any of you agree or have any similar experiences!

My name is Kate.

I’m 18 years old and I have Anorexia Nervosa.

I also suffer from depression, anxiety and OCD.

Just because my illnesses are a part of me, it does not mean they define me; it doesn’t mean they ARE me. Kate likes to draw, read, and go for long strolls with friends and spontaneously grab an extremely overpriced ice cream cone from the little old man driving a rickety old van.

Anorexia hates drawing and reading - that’s lazy and there are far better ways she could be spending her time. Anorexia also hates “strolling” because why stroll when you could walk 6 kilometres at a near jogging pace in the same amount of time?

As you may have guessed, anorexia is not a fan of ice cream either.

So as you can see Kate is not anorexia. Or depression, anxiety or OCD for that matter. We are separate, but often, the illness is more dominant and KATE is locked away.

This may just be a glimpse into what any typical eating disorder and mental illness sufferer experiences, but I want to make this blog to openly discuss the things people don’t really know and don’t tend to say.

I doubt anyone will read this, but at least I’ve given my little introduction a shot.

[sittinprettyandfree]
