Fun perk of tumblr: everytime ao3 goes down and you're like, "is that just my internet or is something wrong?" You can immediately go to the ao3 tag on tumblr to see other people screaming in agony
Things to remember: - There are so many reasons to live and things to look forward to. - If your mind is foggy and distracted, write everything down somewhere. Empty your thoughts and listen to some music. - Even if no one sees your art, writing or creations, don’t stop creating them. - Most of the things you’re scared about will never happen. - Try not to look at anyone else, just do your best. - Be kind to yourself. Make yourself a mug cake or your favorite tea, or do something you’ve been meaning to do for a while. - Don’t give up on your goals - remember why you started. - It’s okay, you still have lots of time. - Whatever you’re going through, it’s only temporary. - You’ve been through worse things. You can get through this. - Tomorrow will be a new beginning. - You will be okay, even if it may not seem like it right now.
reminders for bad days // (via flowerais)
I can already see tomrrow in my eyes as I lay here at 3 am. The tiredness that will cradle me as if I'm dying within its arms. I'll lay here until I feel I can't anymore. I know I'll go to stand and fall back again as my legs give out to the pain behind my left leg. The gaping hole that will suck me in and heal back up once it's broken me down into nothing. My existence will not be anolage for my family is gone and my friends are none existent. I'll tell myself I'll clean later knowing that later never comes. And once again I'll hear the low grumble of my stomach as it begs for food i will not give it. I'll pretend that I can't hear, nor feel it as it twist my insides. Im prone to Blocking out the thoughts such as the fact I haven't had a proper meal at all this week, nor have I had proper social interaction, it seems I have forgotten how. I'm upset, I'm more than upset but not quite at the same time. I feel this feeling I haven't experienced much as of lately. But once again it's back. As if I'm it's toy to play with and it's the toddler I belong to. I'm nothing but I slave to its existence. I try to creep away, to disapear, but it's truely no use because im stuck here. My environment is diffrent and because of this. I am lost. ~Anon

I flushed my razors and threw away my cigarettes. A new start, I don't think I'll be needing them any more anyways. ^^ ~Anon
“Every time you set a healthy boundary, you’re saying yes to recovery.” Setting healthy boundaries for ourselves is not a selfish act— it’s essential for our wellbeing. Listen to your instincts • identify your emotions • set your limits • maintain your needs • and respect others people’s boundaries 💞✨
I have this necklace. I’ve had it sence 3rd grade and I never take it off. It’s a half of a heart on a black string that says half of ‘best friend’. It’s very important to me. It’s broken countless times on the string and I’ve tied it back together, half of the heart fell off and it’s chewed up from my anxity and it looks so old. Yet I love it more than I can express. My dad has the other side, though it’s been 5 years sense the last time I’ve seen him wear it. ~Anon

Jason only resorts to his emergency signal when he's 0.1 seconds away from death and only when he's 100% reaching raw desperation levels of survival
BUT he also uses it when he's faced with the most mild of inconveniences, so the batfam are always stressed when they get his panic signal because is he about to fucking die or was he just locked out of the family Netflix account?
And obviously they can't take ANY chances, so it's always a 50/50 on whether the night ends with the fam huddled in the medbay of the cave, or whether all of them are fully costumed, weapons sharpened and ready to throw hands in Jason's apartment and Jason's just casually lounging on his couch like "Oh hey guys, I'm out of flour, can one of you run to get some?" with the most annoying shit-eating grin you've ever seen.
Because of my decade of eating disorders, this is where I’ve been 🦋
🌸I’ve purged in every single bathroom on my college’s campus.
🌸 I’ve been questioned for smelling like vomit
🌸 I’ve bruised my ass and legs (which hurt for weeks after) just by sitting down
🌸 I have fainting spells now! Last Friday I fainted 5 times and was nearly sent to the ER. Once I fainted in the shower and as a result, my boyfriend insists on keeping the bathroom door open and on checking on me. Every shower since.
🌸 I’ve eaten trash during a binge
🌸 I’ve eaten a 2 week old stale donut that I found in my boyfriend’s friend’s apartment during a binge.
🌸 I have rummaged through the homes of friends, family, and even strangers for scales to weigh myself. Once, I even pawed through a frat house during a party to weigh myself. (If you’re curious, I found one and did weigh myself.)
🌸I’ve shoplifted laxatives and diuretics in desperation.
🌸I have bone- bruised my coccyx (tailbone) by sitting on the toilet.
🌸 I’ve seized (had a seizure) because I had binged and purged so many times in a day.
🌸 I have destroyed my thyroid (a very important organ, I may add) because of my years of ED, and will now be on medication for the rest of my life.
🌸I have permanently damaged my intensities from abusing laxatives.
🌸 My stomach is beyond fucked up as a result of permanent damage.
🌸I have abused drugs I didn’t even want to do in order to suppress my appetite.
🌸I have damaged my heart because of my ED.
🌸 I have stolen food to binge and purge.
🌸I have both puked and shit blood because of damaged organs.
🌸I had, at one point, lost half my hair because of malnutrition– adding of course that I grew lanugo EVERYWHERE in addition.
🌸 I get dizzy spells every time I stand
🌸I have taken so many laxatives that I spent an entire day puking and shitting.
🌸 I have seriously emotionally hurt my partner (romantic) because of actions I took because of my eating disorder.
🌸 I have drained my bank account compulsively buying ED shit.
🌸 I have chronic chest pains because of my ED.
🌸 I have gotten bone-bruises in my sleep because I had my joints crossed.
🌸I have lost my adolescence and youth to my ED
🌸 I have estranged myself from my family because of my ED
🌸 I have not spent a day without thinking about my weight since I was 9/10 years old.
🌸 I have had my ED so long, it has become a part of my identity and sense of self– I am terrified of recovery because of this
🌸 I have shortened my lifespan significantly–to the point where I have discussed the fact that I will die first wth my partner, as we plan our future together.
This has ruined my life.
Please do not think these disorders will in any way improve your life, they will only plunge you into hell. I do not say these things for pity or attention– I simply want to deter others from ever dabbling in ED behaviors and encourage those who have not been disordered long to seek help before it’s too late. And, obviously, to deter anyone from seeking this kind of behavior. These diseases will destroy you in every realm of your life. They will kill you. I have lost friends to these diseases. Death is a real threat– do not make the mistake of thinking it cannot happen to you. It will. All an eating disorder will ever be is pain.
We need to destroy the glamour that seems to surround eating disorders, which only exists because of the rampant misinformation on the subject. We must bring the true reality of ED’s to light. We cannot let misinformation ruin any more lives. Please spread the reality of EDs. It’s never too late to recover. I encourage everyone to seek recovery/ and or treatment.
Much Love, K
YOU! ARE THESE THINGS!
