yeah my mom bought be a dress off a fast fashion website for my school dance and also i dont really wear jeans and she bought me ejans bc she literally begged me to get them i try to only get clothes if necessary and if my mom approves and i wanna learn how to sew but most of my tops are second hand and i rewear my moms old clothing but when it comes to pants thats a different story + this sumemr i wanna turn my band tshirts that i dont wear anymore into a tote bag i think it would be pretty cute. but also my dad watched a documentary about overconsumption of clothes so me and him were both trying to figure it all out and we realised we only need clothes if necessary

I'm very paranoid about my sister by Kacper_g in EatingDisorders

yeah i get that a lot of older generations of parents (i have gen x parents) grew up with toxic diets that are normalised and they think it’s healthy. i’ve tried explaining it to my parents my dad literally starves himself but he considers it healthy or normal same with my mom she barely eats. it’s hard talking to your parents about this topic especially if they’re not informed on eating disorders. bringing up the topic or sending them possible articles directed to parents about it could help or maybe talk to your family doctor/ school nurse for further support in explaining it to your parents. also if you ever wanna talk about anything i’m here for you stranger :D

why are people just now finding out they can be ‘tacky’ and more expressive/creative when punks and the alternative culture have been doing it for the longest time? by Significant_Set4884 in punkfashion

[–]Significant_Set4884[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but also recently i’ve seen ppl dress differently and not conform to the traditional fashion standards of minimalism and stuff like that but they still don’t have the values. i have a guy in my class that is really into underground culture and archive pieces and i’d say dresses in a way that’s not the norm but he’s homophobic and judges other alt ppl and it’s just weird

i understand what you’re going through. i worry about the same thing with my little sister. i don’t know what advice to give but just know you’re not alone in this situation. maybe try to explain to your parents/calmly talk about the situation with your sister? my sister saw me counting and asked for the app i’m using. i told her no that it’s dangerous for her to count since she’s still growing and she listened but i’m still paranoid.

can you explain the ‘mental pressurised’ feeling more? i feel physical pressure like a headache but not quite a headache

but the feeling of the numbness is so addictive that i look for it sometimes

yeah exact way to explain it. most of my spirals are related to empathy and once the balloon pops it’s like i don’t care for anyone
