That's Called Coping

@ august please be a little gentle with me I’m so tired

I burn and fall and become ashes. And every morning I rise and face the flames over and over again.

What doesn't kill you gives you a lot of unhealthy coping strategies and a really dark sense of humour.

If it doesn’t: make you money, make you better, or make you happy… don’t do it.

I think I’m done

I’m done relapsing and restricting. I’m done with the chronic low blood pressure and hair falling out. I’m done with therapy session and support groups. I think I’m ready for a life without a Anorexia. 

The only thing that’s wearing thin now is my patience.

Idiot's guide to self care

I must admit I suck at self care. I hate painting my nails and soaking in the bath. I never have the time or money for a massage. Putting on moisturiser is a bit of a bad body image trigger for me. I let my sore back get worse. I don't shower for days on end and I rarely clean my teeth. I fucking hate yoga. This is depression for you. The awkward younger brother of mania. For me self care is lying in bed because I can't handle being part of the world but it's getting up at the decent hour too. It's forcing myself to shower and eating something that doesn't come out of a box. It's paying my bills and doing my ironing. It's adulting. It's going to work looking semi presentable even if I had a bad night beforehand. Self care sometimes is about being nice to yourself and sometimes it's doing what needs to be done. It's all about balance.

In my defence, you left me alone in a bookshop

Quit hiding your magic; the world is ready for you.

I'm not really a rise and shine kind of person I'm more of a caffeinate and hope for the best type.
