The Valley of Thorns

*trigger warning* My name is Gabrielle and I'm 19. From the USA. If you ever need advice or someone to talk to, I'm here for you. This is basically another depression/ana blog with some poetry, anime, and anything else I like. I will NEVER post direct self-harm photos and I am NOT pro-ana, pro-self harm, or pro-ed. Have a wonderful day!

be christ-like this christmas. gather a crowd and inspire them to anarchism. beat a politician with a whip. help out your local sex workers. preach equality.

reminder that your eating disorder is still valid even if:

you dont think it is

you’ve never been underweight

you are weight restored

you are at a ‘normal’ weight

you are overweight/obese

you’ve never had to go to inpatient or residential

you do not have a restrictive ed

you do not use the behaviors most commonly associated with eds

you do not have ‘fear foods’

you don’t like oatmeal or those foods people are always taking pics of

you like food and are fine owning that

you hate working out or dont work out 

you’ve never restricted/binged/purged

you’ve never been through anything that you feel validates your ed 

you dont have any ed horror stories 

you feel like your ed isnt as serious as someone else’s

you dont feel sick enough

your loved ones do not know

your loved ones do not believe you

your loved ones are not helping you get the help you need

your struggle looks different than the ones portrayed by the media

you are triggered by different things than most

you are not triggered by others

your recovery isn’t proving to be as difficult as its portrayed

your recovery is going ‘quickly’ your recovery is going smoothly

you are progressing in your recovery

you dont want to recover

you consciously developed your ed

you are not actively using behaviors today/now/anymore

22586) A lot of people think an eating disorder is about being skinny but mine is because I don't feel worthy enough to eat or provide myself with a basic need. It's how I punish myself for being a shitty human being.

30 Day Poetry Challenge

21) Write advice you’d like to give people.

Come sit in the meadow with me We’ll have the warmth of the sun And the shade of the willow tree Come hold hands with me And watch how the wind Makes the grass look like an ocean of green Harmony, Peace, The want to believe Close those pretty eyes What do you hear? Songs of the earth vibrating in your ears? What scent fills your nose? Life, Growth, All the wonders that nature beholds? What emotions run through your soul? Happiness, Love, Completeness? How about the center of the universe Surrounding the core of your being? Don’t question No doubt Just stay in touch with yourself And realize That everything you’ve been told Doesn’t compare to how you feel When you sit in the meadow With me

I still remember the first time I said ‘I love you’… I still remember the first time I said it and I still remember the last time you did not say it back.

If you’re in a relationship, and you are afraid to tell your friends about something that your partner did to you because you are afraid they will think badly of your partner, that’s a red flag.

This is so important
