I hate new years. Its actually so so hard to hear how everyone is just gonna turn around and make themselves happy because this one day happened. Like the past counts for nothing. Its so hard to see and hear everyone’s new diet and workout regimen. I’m sorry but I’m just trying to keep myself alive. I can’t turn into a super hero on January 1st.

Simple truths that are surprisingly difficult for an ED brain to remember

using disordered behaviors is not a healthy thing

healthy people do not use disordered behaviors

you do not deserve to suffer

you do deserve to eat when you’re hungry without compensating

suffering indicates that something is wrong

if you are suffering it is good to try to find a way to not suffer

suffering more is to be avoided

suffering more will not prove anything except how unpleasant suffering is

any time you’re sick or struggling is a good time to get help

a diagnosis is just a label around which treatment can be organized

you are no sicker walking out of a diagnostic appointment with a diagnosis than you were walking in without one

you are a person who needs help from time to time

it is GOOD to ask for help when doing it yourself is impractical, not feasible, or even just difficult

good friends want to help make things easier for you and are happy to help if they can

you are not so special that you are the only one who cannot be helped

you are not so special that you cannot recover

medication, therapy, and other treatments are better than just continuing to suffer

Is it just me, or does it seem to be much harder to recover from a physical injury when you have mental illness? I was in a car crash last week and the anxiety surrounding that, on top of the exhaustion that follows me as a result of depression seem to be making it impossible me for my body to begin healing.
