you can always start again. clean up your socials, make new playlists, donate clothes you no longer wear. try out a new recipe, move to a new city and make new friends, pick up new hobbies you never thought of before. there is no limit to how many times you can press the reset button. it's okay to change and start over. you don't need anyone's permission to do it.

Small reminder;

That battle that is going on inside of that mind of yours can be one of the loneliest battles to fight.

Therefore, do not be ashamed to reach out. Ask for help! I know it might seem very scary to let people know what is going on inside of your mind, but once you start doing it, it will get easier. Bit by bit, it will feel less intimidating.

6 months ago I rather would’ve died than eat a whole slice of bread and butter. genuinely.

3 months ago it was an enormous accomplishment that I was consistently finishing my toast almost every morning.

5 minutes ago I ate some bread and butter as a little snack, as I do frequently now, just whenever my body feels like it, and I enjoyed it!

I remember having a bread and butter snack when I was younger. the simple taste is really nostalgic for me. while I was so sick recently, and still wanting to get sicker, the taste was nothing but repulsiveness and dread. now it’s satisfying and delicious again.

recovering is possible :’)

TW: eating disorders, recovery

Hello, I don't normally make posts like this but I feel ✨compelled✨

I am a 31 year old lady and I rejoined this website last year to scream into the void about Arthur Morgan (which I have very much done) but I have also made amazing friends and started writing, a hobby I had never considered before, in part because of how inspired I was by the people around me. All of which was unexpected.

The last time I was on this website was over a decade ago, when I was 17 and things were very very different. I was here primarily to find community with other people who were in the depths of their eating disorders, just like I was. It made me feel less alone but it also made me sicker in many ways that I still struggle with today. The only way I was able to find recovery was from removing myself from those spaces and thus leaving this website and others like it for the next 14 years.

I bring this up because I have just come across someone with an ED focused blog interacting with some of my posts. I'm not trying to shame anyone, certainly not the person, because if they are anything like me back then I can only empathize with the level of pain and self hatred they are experiencing. But I can't deny it made me feel weird. And it constantly shocks me that even 14 years into my recovery journey I can still feel unbelievably triggered by discussions of goal weights, calorie counting and thinspo pics 😬

I'm not sure what the point of this post is really, maybe just to articulate the complicated mix of feelings I had towards it. But it did make me think that the biggest thing that I was looking for back then was community, I felt so lonely and thought a space built on the shared experience of being depressed and starving would help ease that loneliness in some way. It in fact had the opposite impact. We were just making each other sicker and I lost more than one friend during that period.

I wish I had found fandom back then instead, which is all about joy and creation, even though many of the people participating are experiencing many of the same issues. It forces you to connect around shared excitement rather than struggle and feeds the soul rather than starves it.

#love to all my sisters with active EDs #i hope i don't sound old and patronising #i probably do #but #recovery is possible #you are so much more than your disorder #fandom #ed recovery #tw ed #personal

18 reasons I’m staying alive after a lifetime of saying I wouldn’t make it to 18

I turn 18 in 2 months, so it seemed like a good time for this list.

To live my childhood dream of finding true love, getting married, and getting to be a housewife wearing pretty dresses like a Disney princess

To travel the world and go to all the Disney parks at least once

To make real friends who share my values and won’t judge me simply for existing the way I am

To find happiness and peace despite the people who have fought for me to never have it

Because my inner child deserves to be healed and nurtured, not killed

Because there is no way I’m letting the people who have told me to ⚰️ myself win

To meet my online friends in person (with safety precautions, obviously)

So I can experience life away from my family and the horrible memories kept within this house

To make my dream of writing a book a reality

To experience life beyond school

To adopt a puppy some day

For that one girl who said my death would hurt her forever

To cuddle with someone and really feel safe in their arms

To find a way to experience the wonder and happiness of childhood again

To have a homestead someday

To experience a picnic date

To learn the skills I’ve always wanted to learn (baking, knitting, crocheting, etc)

Because I deserve happiness regardless of what anyone has said

Gentle reminder;

It is okay if all you did today was survive. That is actually the bravest thing you can do🍀

You are staying alive, even when your mind is screaming at you to go and your entire head is filled to the brim with very dark thoughts/ideations💫

You are still here, even though you are in a great deal of pain…THAT is bravery and I truly hope things get better for you soon🍀

Nobody deserves to go through so much pain.💫

There will be good days. They seem so far away right now, but they will come and they will be wonderful.

Will they make it all worth it? Probably not, but they don't have to. All that matters is that they will be there. That at first they'll be a break, and eventually, they'll come two in a row.

Once you get two in a row, it won't be too long till there's three in a row, four in a row, a whole week, two weeks and then, one day, there will be mostly good days.

One day you'll be able to have a bad day, and it just be a bad day. It doesn't make it worth it, but that's okay, it doesn't have to.

Wanted to share how proud I am of my boyfriend, my whole world, my everything, my better half, and my best friend Justice. He has struggled so much in his life ever since he was young. We met in 2012 at school and we instantly became close ever since and then he became my biggest crush ever… and eventually we ended up together :) he has saved me from 2 traumatic events that had - almost happened to me even he had not been there in time . He is my hero… my everything… my world… Justices family has thrown him out, abused him, assaulted him, trashed him, his own father called the police on him and had him arrested and in jail for a whole entire year….I waited for him. Every single day of that. He was previously struggling with drug addiction/abuse and he was getting ahold of every drug he could… to get rid of his pain he had dealt with as a child. The picture you see of him on the left is him almost crying because he was paranoid and under the influence of drugs… and he was on probation at that time… he wasn’t using the best judgement… but he knew that. He knows he wasn’t being smart, he knows that and he has owned up to his past and his past mistakes. He is man enough to admit that and his wrongs which- that alone takes a real man to own up and correct those wrongs.

In the left picture he was almost all the way down to 87 lbs…..

The picture you see of him on the right is HIM NOW :) at 205 lbs, healthy as ever, smiling every day, laughing, and only wanting positivity in his life now. He doesn’t want anything to do with negativity ever again and he only wants positive, sobriety, and to show others he has changed, he has beat the odds, and he will continue to show that he is a survivor and he has changed for the better and will continue to be a role model and someone who others can say “wow he did that” about.

Just wanted to share a good post with tumblr.

Recovery is possible

-feel free to reblog this and share his story :) it would mean a lot to him and he knows the tumblr community can be a good place to share a change for positivity. It would mean a lot to him!

i think the point where i knew that recovery was worth it was when my mom said that she was glad to see me smile so often again, that i had stopped smiling for awhile and it made her happy to see me happy

because i never realised how little i had been laughing and smiling and truly living until i had friends and people who made me smile so much that at the end of the day my cheeks hurt and i was constantly laughing with them, instead of being laughed at and just

i didnt realise people could see me getting better

#10 months & 2 weeks clean too!!!#recovery is possible #and so #so worth it #i believe in you <3 #poetry #spilled thoughts #my thoughts #spilled ink #poem #IS THIS MY SIXTY NINETH POST???#oh my god it is #happy sixty nineth post everyone
