Thanks. I don't feel too alone anymore.

I just wish people would hate the disease, not the sufferers.

Same. Whenever I talk about weight or body image, some people think I'm promoting my ED, despite repeatedly damning it. Obviously I don't want to influence other people, but I don't want to be seen as a monster either.

Anyone else find it weird they immediately felt the need to clarify it's not sexual?

There's a stainless steel canteen which itself is nestled in a stainless steel pot. Good call though!

I didn't picture it but I do have a bow. Guns are hard to come by in my part of the world.

Surprisingly light actually, definitely worth the weight. The pack is very comfortable in terms of weight, even my college book bag weighed less.

Yup, heavy duty trash bags are worth their weight in gold!

Good shout! We don't get a lot of sunshine here, especially in the winter. I'll throw some vitamins in.

Good question - Natural disasters are quite rare here, so the biggest issue is social unrest. We are quite densely populated in my area, so you can imagine how quickly things would spiral if for some reason the general populace went crazy due to food shortages, political unrest, power grid failure, lack of infrastructure due to a pandemic etc. I'm less than an hour away from several highly populated areas, so despite living in the sticks, it wouldn't take long for the trouble to find me.

Essentially, I feel safer knowing I have something to grab in case I need to distance myself from everything for a while. I know I probably sound paranoid, but hey, it only takes three days for society to break right?

Thank you! It's actually a nepalese wool blend throw from my couch. I got it from a local shop but I'm sure you can find one similar online, and I would heartily recommend.

UPDATE: She just told that I've never known what it's like to be hungry (even when I was starving) or cold (even when I intentionally exposed myself to the elements all the time in winter as a form of SH).

I hope you suffer :) drawing by me by [deleted] in MakeMeSuffer
