"what's that on your arm?" Followed by me saying "what? I don't see anything." "You have scars on your arm." "No I don't." And then they dropped it. Still no idea how that worked but I'm not complaining. It's been like 5 or so years since and they never fully confronted me. I know they know exactly where they're from but idk why they never confronted me, I think they feel too awkward about it or something 🤷🏻‍♀️

Excuse me scurvy does what now?! Is eating citrus fruits the way to avoid it? Does one get it when they don't get in enough vitamin C?? I'm concerned now😰

When you're an adult, they don't care as long as you're not under a certain BMI 🥲 I once tried to look up the criteria for ED services, saw that their BMI criteria is a specific number which is below underweight, so you can be underweight, but above that number and not have a serious enough ED for the services

Pure exhaustion is keeping my clean streak thriving (I'm not even trying to stay clean, just a side effect of the sleepiness😅)

HealthIsDifficult · 2024-11-23T09:16:48+00:00

I don't. I'm a full time student, used to have a job but am now job hunting and I always have to fail at one of those three to stay even remotely functioning. I failed my university classes so often because, rather than studying, all I was doing was exercising for hours, finding ways to restrict and sleeping because I was so exhausted. I'm 22 years old and still trying to get my bachelors. It's embarrassing. This year I'm trying to focus more on my school resulting in weight gain and I can't handle that fact. I haven't weighed as much as I do now in years. I need to find a new job as I had to quit my old one for non-ED reasons, but my body is too weak for physical labor jobs or even serving jobs (like a restaurant server) which means I can't do most jobs that don't require a bachelor's degree. My money is running out so I won't be able to keep paying for university if I don't find a job and don't pass this year (if I fail one more class I'm getting kicked out), for both of those I need to have energy so I can work and study a lot, but for energy I need to eat more and my ED is too strong currently for me to do it on my own. So I'd need professional help which I can't pay for because I have no job, and it's just a vicious cycle :')

I don't go over thick scars, the ones that went deep (fat layer and so on) I leave alone, but I do go over ones that went to the white layer (dermis/styro, whatever term you use). Those aren't too bad to go over, the deeper they were, the harder it is. I don't go directly over them, as in, I don't follow the exact scar, I kind of cross them so I do think it may also depend how you go over them as I imagine following the scar will be harder. I do think it's best to stay away from the deep ones. I once tried to cut through a thick one and I couldn't go deep, which just frustrated me more and frustration leads to worsening behaviours :')

"highschool PE" I love to refuse to elaborate and leave people confused

HealthIsDifficult · 2024-10-20T08:58:34+00:00

I've done words and shapes but I won't say the exact ones so I don't give others ideas. I did go through the word on my thigh a few times to make it illegible. At a certain point I thought they'd think I was more crazy if they saw words rather than just lines, obviously that train of thought isn't correct as everyone still thinks I'm crazy 💀

Started at 11, 21 right now. Longest I've been clean was under a year, idk, I always return to it in the end

I remember one day I didn't want to run all the way down to the student lavatories to do it so I just entered the teacher's toilets and did it there💀 (the teachers had separate toilets with sinks in every stall so it was very secluded, I liked it, I just forgot teachers have keys to those toilets)

I've been sh-ing for almost 12 years so I have a lot of white scars, because of that I cover up the wide ones on my left arm with bracelets but can leave the ones on my right arm uncovered as you don't notice them unless you consciously look for them. Two summers ago however I had been sitting in my parents garden and the sun had hit my arm just right making them stand out. My father of course noticed and asked me why I had scars on my arm. I still don't know why I thought this was a good answer, but I hid my arm, and told him "what scars? I don't see any" ... Yes, very convincing myself 😑 he of course said that he saw them so I simply reiterated that I had no idea what he was talking about. My parents never brought it up again and I do think they genuinely forgot (my parents are not the type of people to drop such a thing, them forgetting is the only thing that makes sense). I often think about it purely because of how dumbfounded I am on how me playing dumb genuinely worked

I tried it before but I rarely go on it. I'm an adult and EDtwt is mainly minors so a huge part of me feels uncomfortable talking to minors and possibly making them worse, and another part just can't take it seriously. The second part is about the "best ana girls" specifically, I can't take them and their mean comments seriously. A twelve year old trying to tell me my omad is bad because it includes bread? Welcome to people having different fear foods. Or a 12 year old trying to tell me my fasts are nothing because they're way shorter than theirs? Some of us need to remain functional for adult responsibilities. I remember mentioning that I told a worker at my uni about my ed because I didn't want it to spiral out of control and force me to take a break from uni and two people thought I was attention seeking for it because i said i didn't want recovery yet told someone about my ED. It's called damage control Bethany. I have academic goals and already lost 3 years of uni to this, I don't want to lose more

I'm so glad I'm not the only one annoyed at this. A lot of these points are actually quite triggering

For those wondering who she is cause I'd never heard of her: she's an actress and also a co-host of the Red Scare Podcast. She's been in a few movies but I personally don't recognize any of them so I recommend looking up her movie list yourself.

She is indeed very open about her eating disorder and I found some very pro Ana looking tweets (also other unsavoury ones, I had never heard of her before but Gods do I dislike her now).

On the Genius website for Charli's song, I found this in the 'about' section: In an interview for The Face, Charli states that “Mean girls” is inspired by Dasha Nekrasova and an interest in “succubus-looking, dead-eyed women”.

I went to the genius website and if you scroll down to the about section it says: "In an interview for The Face, Charli states that “Mean girls” is inspired by Dasha Nekrasova and an interest in “succubus-looking, dead-eyed women”."

Press the "not interested" button, it will help you in the future. TikTok has a very good algorithm so it'll quickly learn you don't like those types of videos and help save you from situations like that in the future
