“An intimate relationship does not banish loneliness. Only when we are comfortable with who we are can we truly function in a healthy way.”— Patricia Fry (via spirituallyminded)
not to be unnecessarily fake deep on a wednesday afternoon but I feel like I don’t have a personality also that I’m not real
Your anxiety is lying to you.
Your depression is lying to you.
Your eating disorder is lying to you.
Your addiction is lying to you.
YOU. WILL. BE. OKAY.
My therapist told me something meaningful yesterday, she said “It’s important to remember that when you’re depressed you have to nurse yourself and be extra gentle towards yourself. Just like an athlete wouldn’t break an ankle then force themselves to run that ankle. They rest as it heals and do not think “I am a failed athelete” they think, “right now something isn’t working so i’ll take care of myself until it does.“
Just like a broken bone, depression can change the way your daily life plays out, and pushing yourself too hard and getting frustrated when you don’t feel better is just like trying to run on that broken ankle and getting frustrated when it doesn’t heal.
It’s okay if you gained, maintained, or yo-yo-ed with your weight.
It’s okay if your lab work was normal.
It’s okay if you don’t perfectly fit every criteria for specific disorders.
It’s okay if you’re undiagnosed.
It’s okay if you were never put in the hospital or a treatment program.
It’s okay if no one knows about it.
It’s okay if you’ve only struggled for a short period of time.
It’s okay if you never struggled with certain behaviors or rules.
Your struggle with an eating disorder is valid. And you are 100% deserving of recovery.
- Nobody that has ever lived has been you.
- Nobody that is alive is you.
- Nobody that has yet to be born will ever be you.
You are unique and that is your power.

“I wish I had the time to do that.”
- me, a person who definitely has the time to do that but also has terrible time management skills and most likely to just spend 4 hours getting absolutely nothing accomplished instead of the hundred other things I could and should be doing
I feel personally attacked by the accuracy of this post.
