Our trip to the science museum goes horribly wrong.
Remember this feeling.
The feeling of not giving up, of not giving in.
Going to bed, knowing that you kept the promise to yourself, and did not binge, or overeat.
You did it.
You battled the anxiety, the panic, the overwhelming need to bury your fears, and you came out swinging. Blocking jab after jab, keeping just out of range of the underhanded blows. You’re a fighter. Never forget that.
Now, sleep easily.
Tomorrow, get up, lace up your shoes, smile, and do it all over again.
You got this.
You got this.
You got this!
“Pretty girls don’t eat”
No, pretty girls don’t give out tips to vulnerable young teens on how to starve their own bodies to the point of near death

I realize I should leave, but I stay because I need a place to vent my emotions and thoughts. All of these posts talking about how much better life will be when you’re skinny are such bullshit. I just want to scream DO YOU REALLY WANT MY LIFE?! LET ME TELL YOU ALL ABOUT MY LIFE WITH CHRONIC ANOREXIA (keep in mind that I’m 27 and have had this illness for a decade):
-I have absolutely no job history -I live solely off of disability income -I have little to no friends -I don’t have a college degree or much of a higher education -I’m an adult that lives with her parents -I do nothing but cry, starve, weigh, and repeat -I have no sense of who I am other than anorexic -I barely leave my room -I’m too weak to do much -I’ve lived my entire adult life in treatment centers and hospitals -My floor is covered in all the hair I’ve lost -My favorite parts of the day are the times I allow myself to eat one of the same three safe foods and when I’m tired enough to go to sleep -I cry myself to sleep over hunger and loneliness every night -I cry when I wake up knowing that I have hours left in the day to be alive
Do ya feel dAiNtY now?
This one hits close to home. Love to all of you who have beautiful noses 😅❤️

I used to think I can't have ADHD because I wasn't hyperactive.
Not everyone can allow themselves to act on their hyperactivity, so we find ways to redirect or hide the understimulation.
