It's safe to say most of us are pro recovery

Even if we support each other in weight loss journeys. Even if we give each other tips to lose weight. Even if we share thinspo. Even if we use pro ana tags.

None of us actually support eating disorders. We don't want everyone to starve themselves. We don't want people to make themselves sick after eating a meal. If someone wants to recover we will support them unconditionally.

There is a lot of stigma towards eating disorders on the internet, but we are just trying to find ways to cope and connect with people who know what we are going through.

At this time I do not want to recover. I want to be a skeleton. But that doesn't mean I think skinny is the only way to be beautiful. It means I have a mental illness. You can be beautiful no matter your weight.

We can be very body positive. Just not when it comes to ourselves. So don't lable all of us as pro ana scumbags. We are not promoting eating disorders.

I know rants are annoying, but sometimes when I look for blogs to get tips, I see people saying things like "pro-ana scumbag" and it makes me feel guilty

self care for when you hit rock bottom

i fucking hate self care posts made by neurotypicals so here’s one from someone who Actually Gets It

-can’t shower or take a bath? me either. dry shampoo can make your hair look and feel cleaner, and baby wipes or makeup wipes work great to get the top layer of grime off your skin.

-can’t wash your sheets and make your bed? i feel you. push your blankets out of the way and shake the crumbs off your sheet. it will at least be a bit more comfortable.

-can’t even change out of your dirty pajamas? been there. hit yourself with some febreeze and a lint roller. if you can, brush your hair. if you can’t, hair ties and bobby pins are fantastic.

-can’t make anything to eat? same. if you can, there’s no shame in ordering food. in fact, it’s probably better you eat something rather than go hungry. if you can’t, try and find something that comes pre-made or takes minimal effort to make. at the very least, drink some water.

can’t respond to messages or reach out for help? yeah, i get that. set an alarm for a few hours from now and respond to any messages you need to once you’ve given yourself time to prepare. if they’re Important Messages that need Professional Responses, you can find fill-in-the-blank format rough drafts on google. as far as personal messages go, don’t feel bad for sending a mass “I’m sorry, I’m in a personal emergency right now. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.” response to everyone.

-can’t even sleep because it’s so bad? asmr videos always knock me out, personally, but i also watch a lot of bob ross. just try to find something quiet and soothing to use as background noise and take your mind off it, or at least give you a more peaceful environment to think about it.

-can’t go for a walk/drive? try opening the blinds or curtains. you’re still exposing yourself to the outside world. baby steps. (i also play animal crossing or sims; it may be virtual but fuck it. i went on a walk.)

-can’t go into work/school? let people know. let your coworkers or classmates know it’s an emergency and you can’t make it. give yourself up to two days, but then you have to go back. ask to have your work emailed to you so you know what you missed.

-can’t brush your teeth and wash your face? makeup or baby wipes and gum or mouthwash. don’t let yourself physically rot bc you’re rotting emotionally.

-remember that you’ve been here before. if you survived then you can survive now. that’s what this is about- survival. you don’t have to be living your Best Life. right now, it’s more than enough that you’re alive.

me: *feels good and confident about my body*

someone: *takes a photo of me where I don’t look as skinny as I thought*

me: guess it’s time to die!!!!
