My mom will always be beautiful ❤️
This is my best friend. At the moment she’s being kept alive by tubes and needles because her eating disorder is currently stronger than she is.
Does she weigh 90lbs? No, she doesn’t. Does it look like her eating disorder is “less severe” because she’s not “that thin”? Do you think her situation sounds “less severe” because she’s not “that thin”?
Tubes and needles. Constant supervision. Pain, anger, agony. Hunger, thirst, suffering. Dizziness, constipation, freezing cold. Passing out in front of other patients and staff. Painful injections of vitamins and whatnot. Nurses who’re force feeding her, who’re forcing fluids into her body because her eating disorder is currently stronger than she is.
90lbs or not, without treatment - my best friend will die.
Would you have walked past her on the street and thought she even had an eating disorder at all? Probably not, because people keep believing you can measure or estimate a persons physical and mental health state based on the silhouette of someone’s body.
You can’t.
Never underestimate someone’s eating disorder just because they don’t look “that thin” to you. Being “thin” is just one of MANY symptoms of an eating disorder and it’s far, far from the most important one. Anyone can struggle and if someone you know struggles: don’t assume they’re alright just because they don’t look “that thin”.
Eating disorders come in one size; MISERABLE.
I’m just going to leave this here…

speaks 6 languages: Simlish, Komorebego, Windenburgish, Toki Sulani, Selvadoradian, and he’s fluent in Sixami. This allowed him to negotiate and work as a translator during the First and Second Xeno Wars.
once taught an art class at the University of Britchester, but left because he couldn’t get along with other wizards… ahem! excuse me… spellcasters or enchanters as they like to be called because they think they are better than everyone… yes, someone has an ax to grind.
He possesses Sacred Knitting Knowledge, that Emily is desperate to get her hands on.
some say he’s immortal, but that’s just wizard speak for incredibly long lived. He won’t die of old age or disease, but he could die.
Became reclusive after an experiment gone horribly wrong, which scarred him for life and cost another person their life.
this is the pikachu of tranquility, reblog and you will be calmed
Super proud of you if you did something that was really hard for you that nobody else would acknowledge as an accomplishment. If you're struggling to take care of yourself and you brushed your teeth. If you ate some food. If you washed one single dish, or responded to one email, or called your therapist. It all begins with a single step. If all you could manage today was that one step, and you took it, I am so proud of you.
