i waste every day waiting for it to end, and never enjoying my current experience. i just want my consciousness to end.
and then i go to sleep, and wake up the next day, and this repeats.
i spend every waking moment of restriction waiting for my next meal, and the moment that food is given to me i immediately feel guilty and disgusting. this includes denying myself any food that i am not made to sit down and eat on days when i still eat 2 full meals.

Ate tons of cake, had bread both at lunch and at dinner, had icecream after dinner AND actually enjoyed it without ending up being overwhelmed by feelings of guilt or starting to overthink my entire diet.
It. Feels. Really. Good.

What is Food Guilt and How Can It Be Handled?
Healthy eating has gained popularity in the US as a way to lower the risk of obesity, high blood pressure, and type 2 diabetes. Food guilt is one unfavorable consequence of those healthful habits.

Woke up from a nightmare about my ex-abuser, cried for half an hour about gender dysphoria, spent the morning feeling sick about work anxiety, suffering from food guilt now. You ever feel like your brain is trying to suffocate you.

Went through two intense high anxiety weeks following Covid. You’d think I’d be able to be kinder to myself but nope, feel like sht bc I haven’t stayed on my diet plan. Why is my brain making me feel bad for putting on 2.5lbs in 6 weeks,, I don’t deserve this lmao

I've been thinking about how Vash always seems to be hungry. Or at least, that he's shown eating quite often in the manga. Happily having his salmon sandwiches. Eating an entire box of donuts in the side car. Knowing the conversion rate of bullets to pizza. Seeing a flower and immediately wondering if it's edible. Pondering his life over breakfast. It's a really cute little character detail about him - he likes food.
But then I kind of started to think about the angel arm and its specific brand of destruction. How there were no bodies to be recovered. Nothing but a crater left of July, left on the Fifth Moon. It's all been incinerated. Devoured, even. Tristamp takes it even a step further and makes the power something akin to a black hole - a yawning drain; a constant destructive hunger.
Vash is clearly terrified of this potential for destruction, and for very good reason. But it's not separate from him as some kind of "power he can't control" - it's his arm. It's literally his arm. It is him. Vash is scared of himself, scared of losing control. He does what he can to repress it, even subconsciously (the gaps in his memory whenever it activates). He can't control it in the moment, so he takes steps to preemptively push it down, to avoid the use of his abilities entirely, to hide himself away.
I talked a bit in a previous post about how there are probably several interrelated reasons for Vash's chronically avoidant behaviour, but I'd like to throw one more into the ring and suggest that it's not just a matter of not deserving to want things, but maybe also that he's afraid of wanting. That if he allows himself to even think about what he wants personally that he'll want too much, take too much, and that the only cure in his mind for this is to give and give repeatedly.
I wonder how starved he is for love. Vash loves hard, after all. Once he loves (and I’m not talking about the broad, distant love/compassion he has in general), for better or worse, he carries them around with him forever, long after they've passed. Does he feel like it'd be selfish to admit this kind of want? His love isn't really a passive thing after all - it's the drive at his very core; a mournful inferno he is just barely suppressing. Does he remember how to love in a way that doesn't consume him entirely?
Is that part of the reason he checks out at signs of intimacy? Diverts gifts towards others? Tends to accept kind gestures only when under an assumed name? Intentionally starves himself in Tristamp? Runs and runs and runs? Is he afraid he won't be able to stop hungering? That allowing himself to want means his want will become insatiable?
I just have to wonder how much of his avoidance of connection is being scared that he will cause more destruction (to them? or to him?) by trying to take far too much into his hands than he ever caused by turning his back and running.
...of course I may just be entirely deranged here sorry.
