Anyone else feel like Instagram, tiktok & other media platforms are creating some really toxic energy regarding body image? The insecurity I feel after scrolling, for even a little bit, really makes me feel like shit. It’s like the algorithm is specifically targeting my self esteem lmao
It’s normal for those of us on a recovery journey to feel “left behind”.
Sometimes it’s watching our friends, family, or peers get ahead while we feel stuck. Sometimes it’s seeing things that people your age are accomplishing and feeling like you’ll never measure up. Sometimes it’s the bitterness of knowing that days/months/years of your life were “stolen” by your mental illness or disorder.
It’s not fun. But rest assured, you’re not alone. You’ll find your way in your own time.

I havent came back to this site in a while because i was finally starting to recover but a mix of cold weather and some shit thats been happening to me lately has brought me back.
I nearly forgot how great it feels to starve and run off empty and I know that im giving myself into destructive habits again and that I shouldn’t deprive myself of something so crucial to survival but the control just gives me a high that I can’t explain.
Anyways I hope you guys stay safe and that you’re seeking recovery because this always comes back and it’s never something that we can ever get rid of.
every time i see people trying to normalize fatness by sexualizing it i think of that post thats like “what are you gonna tell a fucking 12 y/o? dont cry dude youre so thick? stop it” bc like. truly. not only do i personally not want my body to be sexualized lol but also its so harmful to kids like?? being fat is normal in all contexts not just when youre in lingerie with a beat face looking pouty at the camera like can we talk about the variances in human bodies without resorting to making them normal only when theyre sexy, my god
your body is good, not because it is desirable to others, but because you live in it
“your body is good, not because it is desirable to others, but because you live in it”
I don’t care if you think there are only two genders. I do care if you are bullying people who identify as otherwise. I do care if you are forcing your opinions on others. I do care if your constantly ranting about how there are only two genders.
