footsteps in the snow

I’m supposed to be calling a place near here for info on outpatient programs. Will update in a few days on how that goes.

when people say things like “remember how great it was when you were five years old? when life was so easy and simple and you could just be happy!” it makes me want to scream. i know they don’t mean any harm, but… no. my early childhood was confusing and terrifying and miserable and generally hellish and for some reason it makes me unreasonably angry when people assume that everyone’s childhood was as beautiful and carefree as their own.

hey

please don’t put off getting help because you’re “not thin enough yet”

not only does thinness have nothing to do with the severity of an ED

but if you reach that weight that you decided you’d get help at

you’ll decide you’re still “not thin enough”

so you’ll set another one

and another one

and another one

and another one

because spoiler alert: your eating disorder will NEVER allow you to consider yourself skinny enough to “deserve” help
