Support can make a huge difference when someone is hitting a rough patch. Why wait until then to let your friends know you'll be there? Take a stand for Mental Health Awareness and tag someone you care about to let them know you have their back.

To any child scrolling through these tags thinking “god I wish I had an eating disorder”, “I wish I could be anorexic”, etc, I want you to know it’s not worth it.
In these posts you only see the sides of an ED that seem desirable (prominent collar bones, a thigh gap, reasons to keep pushing), but never the parts that would disgust and frighten you (inability to control your bodily functions, gaining and losing the same five pounds for years on end, pushing all of your friends and eventually yourself away).
Sometimes it seems attractive to be that “perfect broken person”. The one people look at and think “woah she’s so small” or “she needs help.” Sometimes you may feel like this is the way to show people that you are hurting. To give yourself worth.
But, sweetie, this isn��t it. It never will be. It’s not what people will tell you it is. Most of us will never be that “perfect broken person.” We’re not mysterious or tragically beautiful, we’re just hollow, wishing that we could go back to how things were before.
Wishing you have an eating disorder can be a sign you already have one. Please, talk to a therapist, a friend, a parent, anyone. Find someone that can tell you that an eating disorder cannot make things better. And listen.
I know that you are here because you are hurting. So, darling, let me tell you. I see you. I’m so sorry that you are going through this. You are so beautiful. You are amazing. You are deserving of life. Of food. Of happiness. Of everything you have tried to tell yourself you aren’t.
I know I can’t fix you. But, you can. You are so strong. You don’t have to let yourself go down this path only to look back years later and wished you’d turned away. Please leave these tags, go find anyone who can help you, and live. Just live. Please.
You deserve it.💗

I wish I was like an almond mom sometimes, but only for myself, I'm not gonna say that shit to anyone but me, because that's just fucked up to say to anyone else but me

Why do I care? In your eyes I’m not a person I’m an object. You don’t care about me, you don’t want me, you don’t even think about me unless you want something. I wish you would stop asking me how I’m doing, I wish you’d stop pretending you care about me.

It's been a while. Crazy. I'm 28 now, in a much better mental space then i used to be. But still struggling with anxiety and bulimia. Been seeing a terapist for a year now but i cant fully open up about all my struggles. We don't need to be perfect. We dont need to follow a certain path. I hope today was a good day for you all. Thinking of being more active on Tumblr lately. Missing the community here.

PRO@NA GROUPCHAT !
I've been in multiple ana group chats in the past, and they never stayed active and its really hard to find active groups so I'm making one!
RULES
15+
Must be active (don't join if you're not dedicated and prepared to be active, you'll be removed if your inactive without reason)
No bullying whatsoever, unless it is asked for (meanspo)
The group is going to be located on snapchat, so PRIVATE message me your username to be added, as well as your age and pronouns.
The goal is for everyone to support each other in reaching their goals. Feel free to ask for advice/tips! If everything goes well we can even look at weekly challenges and such! If its beneficial for everyone we can make group rules such as calorie limits etc
