[fiendishlywitchy]

do you know any wiccan/dianic literature that focuses on women's relationship with food/weight/body-image and in general is there any sort of wiccan/witchcraft/dianic literature that you think can help me overcome my eating disorder? i feel like the usual ''therapy'' and social media body positivity stuff just doesn't work on me. i need something like a mantra and a personal belief or even personal rituals to keep me from my eating disorder and only the rare times i adopt something akin to it does it help me not obsess over food and not have unhealthy relationship with food.

Hmm thats actually a good question Anon! Love your lady Landscape comes by Lisa Lister comes to mind as it is a book that teaches you to connect with your body in a more Holistic fashion; there is more of a focus on periods/ a side of sexuality from what I've researched about the book, but does claim to speak about how to become embodied in yourself winch seem to be mostly what you're looking for. I do know that eating disorders can cause disruptions in your menstrual period and otherwise harm that aspect of Feminine Help, so if you feel an issue in that department I'd sincerely recommend picking it up

Non Wiccan but I did see The Beauty Myth being advised frequently among rad circles as something that helped some Gyns i knew personally dispelling some myths about the worth of patriarchal beauty standards. It may be worth looking into as a way to unpack some of the societal conditioning that does no service to your condition.

I'd encourage you to look into A Goddess you'd want to tap into and embody and make your own mantra to aid you whenever your ED flairs up as well. A number of Dianic Go to Books such as Ariadne's thread, Spiral Dance and Women's Rites and Women's Mysteries can help you carve out the best solutions spiritually and magically for your condition. If you're interested in the Greek Pantheon, Goddess in Everywoman by Jean Shinoda Bolen can be of great assistance and a gateway of how The Goddesses tend to appear in our Psyche and Shape us.

The Divine Feminine Handbook Vol I by Marilyn Pabon talks explicitly about Holistic/ Intuitive eating and overcoming self doubt; during my research into books that could possibly help you this part stood out to me most.

If you're comfortable you can reach out to me any time you'd like Anon! I'm no stranger to a distorted view of my own body even if I have no ED and I sympathize with your plight sincerely.

natural disaster

my misery was built in

etched onto my soul

the emotions hardwired to be catastrophic.

the artist that tattooed this curse into my heart must compensate me with a real embrace

not another fake display of affection designed to keep me in their grasp

but i do not deserve.

the poorly maintained façade is beginning to age,

signs of wear include stains on the inside and outside

please bear in mind before buying!

the abyss and sins are visible through the widening cracks,

stained glass shards floating further apart

through the currents of the reservoir

constructed by yours truly,

flowing with fermented grape juice and stomach acid.

my soul was punctured

drop by drop the joy leaked out

until what was once a fixable hole exploded from the force of the flood.

i wash my face in the flood

attempting to cleanse of the sweat and crimes

until the water is as contaminated as i feel.

deny deny deny.

food in, food out,

pills in, liquid out,

dandelion yellow, cornflower blue, pearl white

the dead queens mauve rolled face witnessing the depravity

food in, shapeshift, food back out

chemicals imbalanced.

poorly yet perfectly manufactured bandages.

too many failed attempts to repair the cracks

the vigilantes from which you were created bring their hammers once again

and the water dried.

the ragged edges shudder and quake with the intensity of the earth shattering emotions that remain

i am not spoilt for choice.

40 bpm. 220 bpm. back again.

natural disaster.

the dolls - porcelain, felt, plastic

toppled off the pristine shelves of the renovated houses

your childhood teddy falls face down

even he cant look at you now.

it is somehow your fault. again.

there are no earthquakes without collateral.

a beautiful exterior can only hide so much ugliness within.

people going "being vegan is so healthy" and like. it can be physically healthy, yes. and it can not be that. but for me, personally, I was so relieved when I stopped eating animal products. like, I'm mentally ill, yes, being vegan didn't cure that, obviously. But I'm also a highly sensitive, anxious and depressed person who benefitted greatly of stopping themselves forcibly eat corpses and drinking milk that should have been for baby animals that are now suffering or dead. for a long time I actually thought I harmed myself more by doing this than anyone or anything else. I was wrong, and when I realised that, I went vegan. and now, personally, my relationship to food and eating is so much healthier. I don't have to numb myself anymore to do it. I have started actually enjoying veggies. I try new foods. I feel more at ease with being. existing. I love being vegan.

aah omg i love stories like this SO much 🥺 i'm so happy for you and proud of you angel. i also have an ed and it's hell but going vegan helped me a bit too 💗 i cook with more vegetables now and i don't feel as guilty after a plant based meal. i LOVE the diversity my diet got after going vegan. 🌱 but the biggest way veganism helped was giving me purpose, a passion, an interest other than binging, purging and losing weight. i have happiness which helps me with binging and purging triggered by being upset. i'm so happy you and i were able to transition to a plant based diet without triggers. 💗 i love being vegan too, i'm so glad i stumbled upon the works of animal rights activists 🌸

hi vik!

i just wanted to scoot in here and ask smth rq!! this is not an admonishment i’m just curious /gen

is there a reason skinny people have to be put down to lift fat people? like! idk personally i think body positivity should include All bodies big middle and small. if we’re skinny shaming people for their bodies we’re still commenting on how they look which can. really. have negative effects (as a person w eating issues)

plus like!! skinny is not always a choice just as fat is not always a choice. pre-diagnosis type 1 diabetics or people with overactive metabolisms or people who were in bad environments and developed an eating disorder just. idk it feels a little weird that body positivity (esp on tumblr) is Only about fat people it feels counterintuitive

this is all /nm /gen i am just!!! curious okay have a good day :D

Hi anon! I'm not quite sure what post you might be talking about, so I've scrolled through all my reblogs from the pst 24 hours to find all the posts about fat/skinny people to try and find the problem. If its not one of these post you were talking about feel free to send me the link of the one you were talking about, or that made you want to ask me this.

I don't think this is making fun of skinny people, just pointing out art often over exaggerates skinniness to an extreme, making people think any drawing where a woman isn't incredibly tiny is a "plus sized" drawing even though irl they would be considered skinny.

This one doesn't mention skinny people at all, just saying how some people from cultures out side of the us often like to dog pile on the idea "all Americans are fat and that makes them gross haha" which is a complete dog shit take for many reasons. I also say in the tags that we should not make fun of anyone for what they eat or how much they eat, that includes skinny people and people who only eat "healthy" foods, and people who don't eat a lot.

I mean both fat bitches and skinny bitches alike can not cast fireball. Sadly. There should be more fat bitches casting fireball in video games tho

I'm pretty sure this might be the one that made you upset, it has a much meaner tone then the rest. But it's also not making fun of skinny people. It's saying "if you reblog fat positive posts, just to say something along the lines of "i agree but im sooo small and skinny and tiny! But i agree!" You are scared of being seen as fat. And yes, I do understand that ED's play a real role in this, I have two teen sisters who both have ED's and last summer I only let myself eat anything other them sugar  free mints and black coffee once every three days I have both expected and seen first hand what ED's do. But that doesn't excuse the fact going on a fat positive post and showing everyone you are scared of being confused for a fat person can make fat people also scared about being seen as fat. It can also make anyone thats still pretty skinny or small thats even a bit bigger then you scared that maybe they are "too big"

I am really genuinely sorry if any I have personally said or reblogged has made you mad or hurt you anon. I don't think anything I've recently said was anti skinny or trying to make skinny people feel bad for there weight. Again if it wasn't one of these posts you were concerned about please send it to me so I can try and understand more of where you are coming from

/gen hope you have a good day too anon!!:3

Remember to take your daily multivitamins if you're struggling with EDs, Depression,or if you have Chronic illnesses or any illness that causes malnutrition. For mental health, the brain is an organ! You can't just try to repeatedly tell it to change its way of thinking if it doesn't have the right nutrients to fight emotional and physical shutdown. Remember, multivitamins can't be the only source of your nutrients, but they help expedite your body and brain/mind to recover in order to execute your daily functions properly. There is no rush to your healing journey, you're doing amazing. Keep going. I'm proud of you.

#mental health support #mentalheathawareness #mental illness #tw eds #im proud of you keep going #technically I can write down a list of specific vitamins the body tends to lack when dealing with eds and depression/ mental illnesses #but i feel like daily multivitamins help ppl from overtaking vitamins or a high dose of one specific vitamin #if youre a smoker you could also be lacking vitamin C

u remind me of the edtwt bitches who r fatphobic and r openly pro ana. i think u actually got ur personality from them

this comment rly rubbed me weird bc i don’t say anything about my eating disorder on here, but it WAS in fact shared by someone else when i was cancelled. it’s actually a super private and horrible part of my life that has hospitalized me multiple times, nearly killed me multiple times, ruined my physical health for the rest of my life, and ruined my relationship with my family and friends and made me physically incapable. ik the only reason you said this shit was cos that bitchass pussy post and ik you think you’re funny as shit but even if i don’t eat i’ll still beat your ass so fuck off and politely kill yourself. it’s a mental disorder that i can’t get rid of, not something for you to make a fruity ass coward comment about. mind your own and get a job

#all those bitches r fifteen and fat btw #the proana fatphobic ones i’m not gonna shit on the ppl who have a space to talk abt their mental illness #not me #i’m not that guy #i do not talk about ed’s or my ed on this account i have never been and never will be comfortable w it #demonizing anorexia is sick as fuck! #tw anorexia #tw eds

Babes with eds: what are some foods that are fairly low cal (doesn't have to be super low) that help give your body nutrients? I'm taking vitamins but I'm still worried I'm eating so low cal that it's going to be damaging to my body. Any tips appreciated!

Is anyone else getting the ad on tumblr for intermittent fasting? You would think that this site and its history with glamorization of EDs would maybe not- actually never mind, it’s completely typical

I saw in your vent art that you said some of us may know the situation but I don’t and was wondering what it was? You obv don’t have to answer if you don’t want to! Sorry if I’m being nosey or anything

no worries, i dont mind talking about it because ive been trying to warn people about the risks of EDs for years and my current state is a demonstration of why.

the general situation is i've struggled with a severe ED for the past 10 years and its reached the tipping point/is now causing life threatening repercussions. In particular, very serious heart issues that by themselves are already awful but are also a precursor to congestive heart failure in my near future. Additionally my endocrine system, blood sugar, blood pressure, WBC/RBC, general vitals, and electrolytes are all going haywire too. I feel like haught rightous ass and my body systems are flicking their "check engine" lights on one by one.

I was warned that this phase was coming earlier this year and things were ok for awhile, but in the past 2 months things have completely nose dived, the past few weeks especially so. I was recently hospitalized for a cardiac event and am on track to do an indefinite/long term hospital stay soon but that situation is uuuuuhhh complicated to say the least. my family is not at all supportive of me seeking medical care for my ED and believe that i dont have one at all, even with my severe cardiovascular symptoms. My work/grad school program are also very inflexible about the current situation and seeking care would likely lead to ejection- which is answers the "holy shit why are you not in the hospital right now" because i should be! i fully 100% should be but im wedged between a dozen different rocks and a hard places- plus the financial aspect which is head spinning.

the tldr is things are mad busted right now

People without eating disorders shut up about thinspo that's it. You guys don't even know what thinspo is and it shows

What are you up to these days? You haven't posted alot...

law school 😭 and some health shit that’s really done a number on my energy and stamina. it’s my spring break this week though, so will be playing catch up while i have more free time/can spend more of the energy i dooo have on here.

#will be vague bc i know recovery talk can be triggering #eds are inherently competitive and for me that means not talking about this a lot #for my own mental health #but because i love and care for you guys i will say #don’t wait until you’re in a paranoid crying fit about your health to get help <3 #getting scared straight into recovery IS avoidable ❤️ #wish my dumb ass had realized that sooner #tw ed #tw eating disorder #tw eds

tw not really mentions of eating disorders but i definitely talk about them somehow, body image + dysmorphia, we're unpacking today boys, ig intrusive thoughts?

i hate feeling like a pig in my own skin :/

in my head i've been teaching myself i'm not a criminal for feeling hungry, but every bite of food and every thought of being hungry i have, i feel worse and worse about the way i look. like i don't deserve to eat because clearly ive eaten enough, i guess

i don't want to subconsciously compare my figure to that of everyone around me but gee fuckin gee.

i wish i could make all these disgusting intrusive thoughts stop
