if you've lost years of your life to abuse or mental illness, please know it's not too late for you. it's never too late for you. you can do everything you dreamed of when you were a kid - there's still time. you have time to shape yourself and your life into what you want. there is no time limit on happiness.

[heartbreakclubs]

i can go from euphoric to extremely depressed and suicidal and vice versa so fast it’s scary

[thoradvice]

you’re so young and you have so much time. life is longer than you think, and there will be time for you to do everything. if you lost your youth to mental illness or abuse, your life isn’t over. you can do everything you missed out on, and more. if you’re losing your youth right now, there will be time for you to do the things you want to do. it’s gonna be okay, you still have time.

fuck this is me

All you anorexic bitches out there better not be taking up smoking for the purpose of losing weight. I’ll beat your god damn ass if I hear that’s what you been doing. Smoking ain’t cute. Smoking ain’t DAinTy. Smoking is fucking disgusting. Y’all be getting addicted to that shit for no damn reason. I started smoking a few years back and I regret that shit 100%. I wish I listened to my damn school and parents. Don’t smoke u fucking hoes.

Well gotta agree with that for my personal preferences

[fatestmodelinthebureau]

[dailybipuns]

Okay, hot take? Bisexual and pansexual are functionally synonyms, and the decision to ID as one or the other comes down to personal preference and interpretation, and any attempt to further separate the two is driving a wedge between two communities that should have nothing but love and solidarity for one another. 

We have more in common than not, and the words for our respective identities should not be pitted against each other. 

[swordshapedleaves]

Yeah with overlapping identities like this I just go for whichever one I like the pride flag the most.

[dailybipuns]

That’s so valid. 

[love-geofffree-deactivated20190]

There is a distinction between pansexual and bisexual but it is a very fine line, so fine that people who fit the definition for pansexual better may ID as bisexual instead for a variety of personal reasons and vice versa. But there is a distinction and acting like they are perfect synonyms can be quite invalidating.

Bisexual - attraction to multiple genders where gender is a factor within the attraction, and can include a preference for one gender over another, or attraction that feels different when it’s directed at a specific gender.

Pansexual- attraction to people regardless of gender. Gender is not a factor, you’d expect a blanket sensation of attraction regardless of which gender it is attracted to, and no sense of intuitive gender preference (though perhaps a logical one).

Notice that neither of these definitions actually exclude transgender or non-binary people and arguing otherwise is biphobic and transphobic. But there is still a distinction - practically, the issues they face and the relationships they will end up in are the same, but emotionally and subjectively they feel different.

Me reading the first post: I totally agree 100% quit telling me that calling myself bisexual means I’m transphobic

Me reading post four: OH I never heard that distinction before. Being attracted to masculine ppl DOES feel different to me than being attracted to feminine ppl. It never occurred to me that pansexual people experienced attraction different from me in that way. Today I have learned something.

[ebonyheartnet]

Okay, so this is a better explanation than I have seen before, and I’m really glad it crossed my dash. *throws love and support @ my bi and pan friends across the globe bc they’re all valid*

[dechart]

distinction is important for me but it might not be for others and that’s okay

Therapist: and do you think maybe you're choosing to be self destructive?

Me: yup

Therapist: and what are you going to do about that?

Me: probably keep doing it

[bettergiveuup]

I satisfied a craving today.

One thing I learned is that if you're really craving something and eat something else with lower cals instead, you'll most likely binge eventually looking for that fix.

So I had my 300 cals of cup noodles instead of who knows how many cals of random stuff I find in the kitchen. And they were tasty as shit.

[pochagal]

PLEASE boost this this is so real lmao

EAT THE THING. dont force yourself into an all out binge because you were scared of one item. let yourself eat it and then move on. it will have a better outcome.

[depression-and-literature-deact]

If you feel useless, please stop scrolling for a moment

I want you to know that it’s okay if all you managed to do today was breathe.

It’s okay if you didn’t manage to get out of bed.

It’s okay if you didn’t get that piece of work done.

It’s okay if you couldn’t socialize today.

I’m proud of you. Tomorrow is a chance for a fresh start. Stay strong and be safe.

[mydreamsscareme]

for anyone that needed it today <3

your eating disorder’s severity is not determined by weight because eating disorders are not weight disorders they’re behavioral disorders thanks for coming to my ted talk

Something I've realised about eating disorders

No one gives a fuck about you or your eating disorder unless you’re frail and look like you’re dying. Millions of men and women sufferi from ednos, bulimia, binge eating and even anorexia go unnoticed because they don’t “look sick” This is why none of us get help. Because we all feel like we’ll get looked down upon for saying “hey I have an eating disorder” if we don’t look the part. We feel embarrassed to be getting help because we feel like if we aren’t on the edge of death then we’re healthy. Even though we know in our hearts that we aren’t healthy and that we are struggling, our minds, because of society, force us to believe that we shouldn’t recover because we don’t have it as bad as someone else.

[thinspo-and-tea2018]

somebody finally said it

[delicate-lace]

you think you’re faking this? ok. prove it.

delete tumblr. delete myfitnesspal. delete any and all calorie tracking apps. go into your kitchen. right now. get up and walk into your kitchen. now make a pot of pasta or spaghetti. or make a salad with chicken or a smoothie. or make a few eggs with some potatoes. or heat up the leftovers in the fridge. don’t count it. don’t measure it. don’t look up the calories. then sit down and eat the whole thing. don’t cut it up small, don’t wait until a certain time, don’t stare at it for forever before you eat it. cook it, put it on a plate, and eat it. maybe scroll through instagram or watch a tv show while you eat. like a post on your explore page about loving pizza without thinking of the calories or feeling fat. when you’re done eating, don’t go to the mirror, don’t go to the scale, don’t go to the toilet to throw up. then go on with your life without thinking about what you just ate or when you’ll eat next. now do that every time you first feel hungry every single day for the rest of your life.

if you can do that, fine. i’ll believe you. you’re “faking it”.

but if even one step of that sounds like your own personal hell, shut up because you’re absolutely not fake and your problems are beyond valid and you deserve to recover right now right where you are.

[wit-as-sharp-as-my-hip-bones]

Will never not reblog this! You are valid and deserve recovery
