Normal teenage nostalgia: school dances ✨ hanging out with your besties 🥰 your first crushes 🤭

My teenage nostalgia:

I grew up believing that I was hard to love — and that any sort of kindness was lost on someone like me.

17 THINGS NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT EATING DISORDERS

1. If you’ve been restricting, your asshole is literally going to explode every time you eat normal/binge.

2. Bulimia will make your teeth rot.

3. Purging is gonna become addicting, and you won’t be able to stop until you pass out in your own puke of exhaustion.

4. You want to keep your normal social life? Forget about it. Food is going to constantly penetrate your brain, and you’ll stop going to events or see your friends because there might be food there.

5. Your concentration is gonna be nonexistent. You won’t be able to focus on anything and your grades are going to drop significantly. Your memory is going to suck because your brain and body is lacking nutrition.

5. You’re going to be really fucking cold. All the time.

6. Thin enough? You’ll never be thin enough. It starts out with the need to be pretty, but you’ll never be satisfied. All you’re going to want is to be a walking skeleton, and you want to scare everyone with your appearance.

7. You’re going to be so weak that you’ll nearly pass out every time you walk up the stairs, take a shower, or something as little as getting out of bed.

8. You’re going to ruin your relationship with everyone you know. You’ll lie to everyone you know and love, and you won’t even care because it’s just your daily routine now. Some of those relationships will never be the same.

9. After being bulimic for a while, you stop caring about how gross it is. You’ll spend evenings covered in your own vomit and keep bags with puke under your bed and you won’t even care. You’ll constantly smell like puke unless you shower 3 times a day, but since your body is using all it’s strength to keep you alive, you won’t even have the energy to shower once a week.

10. You’ll feel like shit every time you eat normal for one day. The guilt is gonna eat you up (no pun intented) and you might purge it up or over exercise, and if this becomes a habit of yours, it will cause your body to go into shock. Your body is going to be confused and tired 24/7 and trust me, you are going to ruin yourself.

11. Recovery? It’s going to be harder than having the disease itself.

12. You’re going to crave food. All the fucking time. I mean yes, there’s gonna be days where you don’t even think about it, but food and numbers are gonna take up your entire life and existence. It’s suddently all you care and think about, everything else becomes insignificant.

13. You’re going to have bruises and scars everywhere on your body 24/7. Why? Because your body isn’t getting enough nutrients to function properly, your body literally won’t have the strength to heal them.

14. When you starve yourself, your body is literally going to eat it’s own muscles.

15. You’ll become dangerously competitive. Have a friend that’s skinnier than you? You’ll make it your dying wish to be skinnier than them.

16. Your hair will fall out, your skin is going to be disgusting and weird, and your nails will look like shit.

17. You’re going to die if you keep this up. Dying from eating disorders when you’re in your teens is unlikely, but when you grow older your body won’t be the same. Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of all mental disorders. Please get help before it’s too late. I love you all 🤍

You think i’m being harsh? I am. This is the reality of eating disorders. Get out if you still can. My dm’s are always open if someone wants to talk. Please remember that there’s always someone rooting for you ♡

When someone points out your eating disorder

I wish I was the kind of person that lost their appetite when they are depressed or stressed

tw/ed

having an ed is drinking coffee all fucking day long, fantasizing about your next shit, craving the hollow feeling of starvation, but loving food more than anyone else ever.
