[ Health / Activity Update. ]
[ The past three weeks have been nothing short of... something I don’t even know how to describe. The past four days have been notably dangerous, though. I won’t go into details, because so many people were offended and selectively shunned me when I shared details about a separate IRL circumstance last year. I’m not here to give anyone anything to use as an excuse that they don’t need to see themselves away from me. However, I will say that my health has taken a turn significantly downhill. To be frank, with my body deteriorating, the rest of me is going with it. Despite me constantly trying to ingest enough that I’m at least maintaining growth for what I’m going through. I can’t even begin to safely tell anyone how desperately I’ve been trying to help myself, and how steeply I’m failing. For those of you that want to say “seek a medical professional”, let me stop you there; what do you think I’ve been doing since finding out I’m carrying something? I’ve already got appointments. I’ve already been seen by who can see me at this stage with the resources I do and don’t have. I’ve also already reached out and am waiting for fulfillment on urgent type care. So, when it comes to suggestions, unless you talk to me regularly on a person-to-person basis, stay in your lane, please. I am doing everything I can within my power to do the right thing for myself and another. It’s simply just unfortunate that not all of us get help when we need it, even if we go where ‘help’ is. And not all of us get taken seriously, or with compassion, outreach, and support. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been trying desperately or urgently for myself. Having said that, now that we’re at the critical stages of my body collapsing, literally... I want to give context to people that have been so patient and tolerant of my presence in recent times. If you’re wondering why I’m ‘still here’ if things are ‘so bad’, I can only say that I am still active here because I deserve to check out of my misery sometimes, too. And I am only here until I physically cannot be any longer, until my body is demanding rest or I’m simply too weak suddenly to continue. I’m still caring for literally dozens of animals, and working on my business, and keeping up with my home - and it’s all biting chunks out of me that I no longer have the reserves to cater to. I’ve lost drastic amounts of weight, where I should be gaining. Yet I can’t just stop, because I have animals that rely on me, and I refuse to let their health slip with mine. And since I have to still take care of myself, it’s a constant battle, and time is not on my side. So it’s taking me longer to do things, and it’s taking more out of me literally minute by minute... In any case, I thought some of you deserved to know what’s been going on, at least, for being as understanding as some of you have been when I fail to be productive here. In any case... I’ll catch back up as soon as I can. In the mean time, please know I’m just doing my best. That’s all I can say. I don’t know what else I can do at this point, other than communicate what I feel I’m allowed to communicate, just so I’m at least taking into consideration other people’s time and energy. Thanks to anyone that read this far. Thank you even more so if you read this and don’t think less of me. Bless you for staying if you do. I will do my best to repent for this stage of inconvenience with my presence as soon as I can. ]

I wish my health (physical and emotional/mental) was better. I'd really like to take on a little, but I just can't commit to that at the moment with everything going on. I wish life was easier, so we could all be friends and take care of each other.

I’ve been so sick for almost three weeks now
Vomiting nearly every day, liquid diarrhea, this weird stabbing pain in my gut, nausea, constant discomfort and pain… I can’t even lay down flat anymore; once I sit upright again it’ll just make me feel absolutely awful
I don’t know what’s going on. I have an appointment in late January. I’m scared and sick and I just. I don’t know

Mike's too scared to go swimming when the rest of the Party invites him. He's scared of the others seeing his scars. He's scared that they'll judge him. He doesn't want to deal with that. Instead, he just dips his feet in and watches his friends swim

Nourishing with a Low Appetite: Primary Edition
Inspired by low appetite & a lifelong complicated relationship with nourishment.
Tumblr media
Sufficiently nourishing is critical to wellness and functioning. It can be hindered by disordered thoughts & habits, brain-body disconnect, and low appetite. This list is meant to help with nourishment and weight care!
Many of these get at efficiency. Aim to get in maximum caloric & nutritional value per bite, since you can't take many. > I am not a professional-- just a struggling ND adult trying to put their Bachelor degree in psychology to good use!

wanted to share an almost full-body pic for the first time in probably almost a decade because for once I'm actually proud of how I'm progressing and think that the changes I'm making will end up being permanent bc I'm genuinely enjoying them. Plus, the few selfies I have shared over the last five years have been very photoshopped and at flattering angles, so I feel like most of y'all don't know what I actually look like. So this is me in my children's theater teacher fit last monday!
I'm 17 lbs down from my highest ever weight, but my trainer thinks I'm probably up at least ten to fifteen lbs in muscle. I'm cooking my own food, eating more reasonable portions, and going to the gym at least five times a week because I want to, not because I feel shame or guilt. And now that I'm working as hard as I am, I'm a lot less triggered by looking at new pictures of myself because I know I'm doing my best. I'm still obese, and probably will be for awhile more, but I'm starting to appreciate what I look like and feel like. And hopefully it'll just get better from here!

Alright let me turn you guys onto something real quick. Are you disabled? Depressed? Bad at cooking or just generally very busy? Do you feel like you'll be sick of you even think about another box of Mac n cheese?
Then I have the food for you: Mother. Fucking. Frozen. Potstickers.
They are even Easier to make than boxed Mac n cheese. Stick em in a hot pan with some water and cover with a lid. Cook for however long the directions say (my brand is about 5 minutes). Microwave some sauce if you want. Then BOOM: Full meal with something that has protein and vegetables in it.
They're delicious and bite sized, so they're easy to eat And easy to portion. If you shop in bulk like I do you can get massive bags that can last weeks to months depending on your eating habits.
Those delicious little buggers have absolutely changed my life. I am eating vegetables! More importantly, I'm consistently eating- because even on days when I just don't have the energy to even think of what to cook I can yoink these out of the freezer and be sitting down to eat in less than 10 minutes with minimal dishes.
Also, if you're someone with good and bad days you can prepare your own in advance! Make your own sauce or wrap your own potstickers and freeze them for later. This is a meal that never loses.

One of the things I loathe about the way that I am (that I can do little to do to change) is how all of my problems are chronic. There is no "getting better." Just "getting less bad... for a little bit." It makes it so hard to enjoy the "less bad" moments because I'm bracing myself for the next wave of bad. It's exhausting, and it's so hard to explain to the people around me. I should be used to it, I should know how to cope by now, but I don't. The days just keep getting harder and my mind keeps getting foggier.
It's like trying to build a sand castle, and only having tweezers to do it with. Meanwhile, the people around me are playing in the same ocean that laps away at my progress. But I'm on the beach right? So it must be good? (No.)

Mental Health Confessions
CW/TW - sui mention, meds mention
I've been struggling mentally for years now, and since I trust tumblr enough that I'm writing this out here
Some people might have noticed how I'm not posting as frequently as I've used to...
I know mental health recovery is not a linear thing, but any time theres a downhill I don't think I'm gonna ever get better. Because let's be honest... I've had nearly 8 years to "get better" and where am I now?
I neglect myself, my physical appearance just as my mental health. I'm barely eating, not brushing my teeth, taking showers an incredibly few times a month and I haven't washed my hair for at least 3 months (but I think it might be more).
Call me disgusting, I know I am, I am stinking and my face is all greasy, but I don't know what to do, because I can't get myself to help myself.
I am taking my meds just as regularly as I use to, I have no idea what's my problem. I feel I am hungry, but I have no apetite at all, I know I should drink – even tho i am NOT thirsty at all – but every sip I take is so incredibly forced that it's impossible to do it all the time, all day, every five minutes, FOREVER...
My physical health has been bad for a while, but now it's worse. I always have a low blood pressure, I'm dizzy when I stand up, I have shortness of breath and I'm just so. SO tired. I don't know why I'm tired. I have no job, I am sitting at home drawing, or watching shows just to distract myself from how shitty my life ended up be.
I am weak. Both physically and mentally. My back hurts, my joints hurt, my knee hurts, my head hurts sometimes and I've sunken so low that at this point all I can do is sink more.
All the advice I've been given are useless, because I can't "exercise" when I feel like -this-, and I can't "just take a shower/wash my hair" because I CAN'T.
People saying these things have no idea how many times I've said to myself how I'm gonna get my shit together from -that day- night. Take a shower, wash my hair, tidy my room a bit, its gonna be fine. But it never ends up happening.
Sometimes I catch myself wondering who the fuck I am. No matter who calls me and what name, and how they say things, and how this and how that I end up thinking back about it and going "I would not fucking say/do that".
Really tho. I just don't see the point.
I have no idea why I'm writing this I just feel like if I don't get this out of my system I'm gonna kms.
Which I don't want to...
I'm not writing any closure I'm not in the mood

the yellowjackets s2e6 ending -- i was already so triggered just hearing the baby cry because he was starving and just shauna's desperation to feed him, i had to mute parts of it. then when she became conscious again...i... i just wish more people watching that scene understood how real it is. how it happens to birthing people all the time even today, not just in a freezing cabin in the middle of the woods, and how shauna's reaction was.....it was just.....it was very much what happens. she does still hear him crying. idk, i'm just sitting here still crying over it, and i can't stop. because people experience this loss and their brains have to make sense of it and it comes up with something that is as much real to them as the loss is, but no one around them understands, everyone wants to just shove the truth at them because they think it will be better. let her talk about him crying. let her talk about how it felt to feed him, to hold him. tell her you believe her. fuck, i'm just so fucking sad.
