[TW Eating disorders of multiple kinds, like BED, Bulimia, and ARFID!]

(Also mentions of weight, guilt, food/eating!)

So... you know the bad time trio? Y-Yeah so uhm... like I migh'tve thought of something. Like another way to torment them.

So I might've thought of a real stupid AU, where I gave them each an eating disorder. (All coming from my personal experiences.)

So starting with Horror, he has BED, which stands for Binge Eating Disorder. Something he developed as a result to being in the underground, and starving for so long—He tends to think with a scarcity mindset. He finishes his food even if he's full, and a lot of foods are trigger foods for him to start binging. Also, he tends to hoard.

Killer, is suffering from Bulimia. I haven't quite decided why he does it, so I'm also going to go with trauma response. Like he constantly feels empty, he needed to feel anything else. And, listen—Only takes one time purging to get addicted to it. (<- speaking from experience there, I very much regret September 16th.)

Dust has ARFID, which stands for Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder. For him, it's a huge mixture of guilt and delusions that causes him such distress. He'll look down at many certain foods and can't stop thinking of someone he's dusted, can't stop seeing it as something he should not eat. It's textures, smells, tastes, looks—Which. He's dropped a concerning about of weight due to this.

Now, the thing is after the murder time trio figured out they're all terrible at eating. You wanna know what they did?

*Sharp inhale*

They formed a pack, one that was basically to help each other out when needed. If Nightmare or Cross (<- not an ED, but he does have an exercise addiction) ever got suspicious, they'd cover for each other, make up excuses when Dust wouldn't eat or why a whole pack of chips was gone the next morning after just being bought.

As for Nightmare... he is, incredibly suspicious of these three. He feels embarrassment and shame in the air when he asked who ate of last of something and it almost always comes from Horror.

He feels emptiness and frustration that comes shortly after Killer excuses himself from the table, Killer always excuses himself first.

And he feels sadness, fear, and guilt from Dust anytime he picks up a fork, fear.

And he doesn't know how to handle it, or what to do. They all look so... tired, and so exhausted and dinner time is so awkward and he hates not knowing what's wrong.

So the story would focus on Nightmare trying to get to the bottom of it, and once he figures out what's wrong, he'd ne focusing on trying to help them recover.

Now, he's not entirely sure how be would help them recover, but he's getting there.

AU credits!

[steventhusiast]

more autistic steve with ARFID (avoidant restrictive food intake disorder) projection time BUT this time a less hopeless and sad day for steve because i have had a good two days :] CW disordered eating

part 1 / part 2

-

since steve’s current period of bad with ARFID started and he told eddie about it, eddie started a nightly routine for them. every night when they get into bed and lay there on their sides, facing each other, eddie does a little check in. it’s always the same question: how do you feel about today?

it makes steve feel different things every time eddie asks it. sometimes it brings instant tears to his eyes because the day was so hard and he feels defeated. sometimes it makes him avert his eyes and pick at the sheets because he’s embarrassed about how his eating habits impacted the day. sometimes it makes his jaw clench in anger because he’s frustrated with himself and the fact that his boyfriend has to act as his god damn therapist every evening. it usually rotates between those emotions.

but today? today it brings a new emotion forward. fear.

because today has been strangely good. he reached his goals of eating a full breakfast, lunch and dinner. and the thing he’s most proud of is his dinner and the hours after.

recently, his dinner meals have been substituted for safe foods; cheese sandwiches, an apple, a packet of chips and chocolate bars. he feels guilty for rejecting whatever eddie’s cooked every time, but the thought of putting a spaghetti noodle or piece of cooked fish in his mouth makes him anxious at the best of times and nauseous at the worst. tonight though, he had felt hungry. the meal being cooked sounded appetising, and he ate it.

sure, it took him longer than a typical person would take to eat a meal. and sure, it was still a very safe version of a real dinner meal (breaded chicken strips and french fries). and sure, he had to distract himself a bit with the TV while he ate. but he ate. the whole. thing. the smile on eddie’s face as steve ate had made him feel so proud of himself, and the anxiety he’s been feeling recently during meal times had been suspiciously quiet. easy to ignore.

after a meal is usually the worst parts of the day for steve. he hates the sensation of being full, and feeling the food sitting there in his stomach, hates the knowledge that it’s going to sit there for hours while it digests. and sure he still got anxious tonight, but not debilitatingly so. there was no pacing back and forth, no self-harmful stims. he managed to just sit with eddie and cuddle him quietly while he practiced his breathing and watched what was on the TV.

so, eddie as usual asks his nightly question.

“how do you feel about today, lovely?”

steve hesitates and mills over what he really wants to say.

“..good.” he settles on, but feels dread pool in his gut as he says it. eddie raises an eyebrow in response.

“you don’t sound sure.”

“today was good. it’s just..” steve trails off, not knowing how to put his thoughts into words.

“what if tomorrow’s not?”

“what do you mean, baby?” eddie props himself up on one elbow as he speaks, brows becoming furrowed as he puts all his attention on steve.

“you were so proud of me today, for eating well. what if i wake up tomorrow and food feels harder again? i- i want to get better so bad and i’m scared that today was just a fluke or something.” he doesn’t fully think through his words as he talks, he just lets them spill directly from his brain.

eddie looks at him for a few seconds as he thinks.

“well, if tomorrow isn’t as good as today, we’ll still get through it, we’ll still try with meal times, and we’ll still go to bed just like this.” eddie says like it’s the most simple thing in the world.

steve makes a slightly confused noise. how does that answer his question?

“baby, all you can do is keep going for me. you’re gonna have good days, and bad days, and in between days. and i’m gonna be here for all of them, okay? i’m proud of you every day for different things.”

steve looks away from his boyfriend.

“it’s scary to not know.. i want this to be.. over. i miss enjoying food all the time.”

eddie gently reaches out and lays a hand on steve’s cheek, thumb rubbing back and forth soothingly.

“i know. we’re a team though, right? today was good, and instead of being scared tomorrow will be bad, let’s try and be hopeful it’ll be good again.” he says.

steve lets himself be guided back to looking at eddie’s face, and sees a wholly earnest expression there. he nods, takes a deep breath, and offers a smile.

he can try this whole hopeful thing.

[emj-lane]

A little About me🤷‍♀️

My name is Emma-Jean Victoria Lane

Most people call me EmJ but some call me Em or Emma...all those things I respond to. I have a hyphenated first name so it's a mouthful lol!

I'm 18 years old and have an identical twin sister, Mazee. Our birthday is Halloween 🎃

Mazee and I were adopted from China when we were 2 months old

We live and were raised in California.

Besides Mazee, I have a sister, Natasha, who is 19. A sister, Morgan, who is 14. my sister, Sydney, is 11. And the youngest is my brother, Hunter, and he's 7. These siblings are my parents biological children.

We have 2 dogs that are golden doodles, Luna and Courage, and we have a cat. Her name is Boo.

I find it weird how friends or dates/boyfriend are sketched out, leary and scared off by the fact that my mom is a psychiatrist. That's her career/ her job but she is a regular person, wife, mother individual outside of her psychiatrist title/career. I promise she's not analyzing or diagnosing you if you aren't her patient in her office or in the hospital

My dad is a teacher at a boarding school for high schoolers gifted in the arts like music, theater, dance, writing, painting etc

Surfing is one of my favorite things/passions/talents. My whole family surfs.

Equal to surfing is my passion for writing.

I started playing soccer in second grade and the rest is history. From then on year after year I played on the soccer team for my elementary school, middle school and high school.

Should have been a mermaid. Love the water and swimming and diving. I was a competitive swimmer and diver from 7th grade and on through the rest of my middle school and high school career

I train and practice karate and kick boxing. In a fist fight I will kick your ass & I love it

My life motto and really driving phrase for my life and personality is "Underestimate me. That'll be fun..."

I'd say I'm very outgoing, friendly and social.

It can get very heated and tension does get very high at home with my older sister, Natasha. She has a diagnosis of ARFID which is avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder. She has a lot of Orthorexia traits and tendencies as well. This has been a battle and an issue for almost 12 years now. Natasha doesn't really want full recovery...she doesn't want to weight restore or be healthy. She wants to maintain where she is...still sick, still disordered, still underweight but not getting worse- just completely maintaining & existing forever as she is. It is really really frustrating and sad. Sometimes I would like to kick her in the mouth, grab her and shake her and scream at her but it would not get through to her. It would not help.

I get self conscious sometimes being out with my family. Because I am Chinese and my parents and siblings, except Mazee, are caucasian American many people don't see us as family. They assume my parents are hosting foreign exchange students or if I am out with my 7 year old brother people assume I am his babysitter or his nanny- these things get said to me and my family and those things make a home in my head . They hide out a lot but still are there, lingering.

I enjoy music and playing music. I play piano, guitar, violin and saxophone. They are more hobbies and escapes although I am told I am talented and gifted in playing instruments I like having it as just something enjoyable, not necessarily something to pursue and train for career/performance/competitive purposes. The same goes for drawing.

My favorite artists and musicians right now are John mayer, Dave matthews band, Green Day, Nirvana, The Smiths, Bruno Mars, Billie Eilish, Yellow card, Lindsay Stirling and switchfoot.

Traveling & hiking is also something I love and something my whole family likes to do. Just being outside. We've been to the grand canyon, Niagara falls, Rocky mountains, smokey mountains, parts of the Appalachian trail/mountains, we've been to Hawaii, the Bahamas, Jamaica, Mexico, Australia, Alaska and Canada. And of course California has some hiking/national parks and nature too so we do a lot here too.

Favorite tv shows: Law and order svu, Criminal minds, Psych, and The Good Doctor

Favorite Movies: The Lord of the rings movies, Harry Potter movies, any of the Jaws movies, The Shallows, Hunger games movies, any X-men movies, Star wars movies, Man on Fire, National Treasure 1 and 2, A Beautiful Mind, I Am Sam, Dead Poet's Society, and Freedom Writers.

That's all. This is already longer than I intended.

Exploring Your Relationship with Food

Our relationship with food is complex and deeply ingrained, often shaped by personal experiences, cultural influences, and emotional connections. In this article, we will delve into the intricacies of our connection with food, sharing personal insights along the way. We'll also discuss practical steps to help you foster a healthier, more positive relationship with the sustenance that nourishes your body and soul.

Understanding Your Relationship with Food:

At its core, our relationship with food reflects how we view and interact with this essential aspect of our lives. It's not just about what we eat but also why, when, and how we eat. It encompasses our emotions, habits, and the stories we tell ourselves about food.

your relationship with food can be a mirror reflecting your relationship with yourself. As you work on improving your connection with food, it often parallels the journey of self-discovery, self-care, and self-acceptance. By nurturing a positive and balanced relationship with both food and yourself, you can enhance your overall well-being and lead a more fulfilling life.

My Journey with Food:

Growing up, I had a complicated relationship with food. I often saw it as a source of comfort during difficult times, a way to celebrate in moments of joy, and even a means of self-punishment when I felt I didn't measure up. This emotional rollercoaster around food led to overeating and guilt, perpetuating an unhealthy cycle.

Signs you have  a poor relationship with food

A poor or unhealthy relationship with food can manifest in various ways, and these signs may vary from person to person. However, there are common indicators that suggest an unhealthy relationship with food. If you or someone you know is experiencing any of these signs, it may be helpful to seek support or professional guidance to improve your relationship with food. Here are some signs to look out for:

Emotional Eating: Using food as a means to cope with emotions such as stress, sadness, anxiety, or boredom. Emotional eating often involves eating when not physically hungry.

Binge Eating: Consuming an excessive amount of food in a short period, often accompanied by a loss of control. This can lead to feelings of guilt, shame, or discomfort afterward.

Restrictive Eating: Severely limiting food intake, skipping meals, or following extreme diets in an attempt to lose weight. This can lead to nutrient deficiencies and an unhealthy preoccupation with food.

Constant Dieting: Frequently starting and stopping diets, seeking out fad diets, or engaging in yo-yo dieting without long-term success.

Obsession with Weight and Appearance: An intense focus on weight, body size, or appearance, often leading to body dissatisfaction and a distorted self-image.

Food Guilt and Shame: Feeling guilty or ashamed after eating certain foods, particularly those considered "unhealthy" or indulgent.

Hiding Food or Eating Secretively: Consuming food in private, hiding evidence of eating, or feeling the need to eat away from others due to guilt or embarrassment.

Excessive Exercise: Engaging in compulsive or excessive exercise as a way to "burn off" calories consumed, rather than for enjoyment or health benefits.

Social Isolation: Avoiding social events or gatherings that involve food, which can lead to social isolation and a decreased quality of life.

Rigid Food Rules: Having strict and inflexible rules around food choices, such as labeling foods as "good" or "bad," and feeling anxious or distressed when these rules are broken.

Lack of Enjoyment: Losing the ability to enjoy food due to preoccupation with calories, macros, or restrictions.

Physical Health Issues: Experiencing physical health problems such as nutrient deficiencies, digestive issues, or fluctuations in weight.

Negative Self-Talk: Engaging in negative self-talk related to food and body image, including harsh self-criticism.

Avoidance of Medical Advice: Ignoring or avoiding medical or nutritional advice, even when it is necessary for health reasons.

Constant Diet Comparison: Frequently comparing your eating habits or body to others, often leading to feelings of inadequacy or jealousy.

Improving Your Relationship with Food:

Practice Mindful Eating: One of the most powerful tools in transforming your relationship with food is mindful eating. This means being fully present during meals, savoring each bite, and listening to your body's hunger and fullness cues.

Identify Emotional Triggers: Understanding the emotional triggers that drive your eating habits is essential. Are you eating out of stress, boredom, loneliness, or genuine hunger? Identifying these triggers allows you to develop healthier coping mechanisms.

Ditch the Diet Mentality: Diets are often restrictive and unsustainable. Instead of dieting, focus on nourishing your body with a balanced and varied diet. Allow yourself occasional treats without guilt.

Meal Planning and Preparation: Planning your meals and snacks can help you make better food choices and avoid impulsive, less healthy options. It also saves time and reduces stress.

Seek Support: Don't hesitate to seek support from a therapist, nutritionist, or support group if you're struggling with an unhealthy relationship with food. Professional guidance can be immensely helpful.

Challenge Negative Beliefs: Recognize and challenge negative thoughts and beliefs about food and your body. Replace them with positive affirmations and self-compassion.

Celebrate Small Wins: Every step towards a healthier relationship with food is an accomplishment. Celebrate your successes, no matter how small they may seem.

Our relationship with food is a journey that evolves over time. It's okay to have had a complicated past with food, as many of us have. By practicing mindful eating, identifying emotional triggers, and seeking support when needed, you can gradually transform your relationship with food into a source of nourishment, pleasure, and overall well-being and lead a healthy lifestyle. Remember, this journey is about self-care and self-love, and you deserve it.

[slippery-minghus]

oh... just had a sad thought. was skimming reddit for recipe ideas and came across a post with parents discussing tactics for helping their kids with very food aversion-restricted diets get enough nutrition and. i just thought to myself. i really wish i had had the luxury of refusing food i couldn't stand as a child. i still cringe at the thought of my mother's chicken soup. or pork chops. frozen mixed vegetables?? (if the veggies had even just been on the side, it would've been okay!! but mixed into every pasta dish i was allowed to eat? with an added guilt trip about the pasta and veggies being "friends" and that they'll miss each other if i don't eat them both, every time i complained??) (i didn't even dislike vegetables!! she just refused to ask how i wanted to eat them!!)

but i didn't have the luxury of refusing to eat the things i couldn't stand!! at best, i would have gone hungry. at worst, guilt tripped to hell and back, and left alone at the table till i could eat through the tears. and my intake was restricted by my parents' fatphobia enough, i couldn't afford to skip meals. sure i knew when my next meal would be (though snacking was not a Thing in our house) but when i'd be allowed to actually eat enough to feel full? (even though that always meant eating more than the people around me.... but if i'd been allowed to eat til i was full regularly that probably wouldn't have been the case) hell... i wasn't even allowed sweets most of the time. "only on weekends"

it makes me so sad and... aware of the hollowness inside me when i think about how little space there was for me in my own home and childhood.

and i was thinking similar thoughts this morning. about my asthma, and how cruel it was that in high school gym class i was forced to trigger it every single day to avoid both a failing grade and bullying from my teacher. i thought about what i would have said to the principal of the school if i had been in the shoes of one of my parents. how i would have put a stop to it. how much more i would have done beyond the angry letter my dad wrote the school to keep me from failing gym that was more about preserving my GPA than me.

but then i realized—if i had had a parent willing to stand up for me like that... why would they have waited until high school? why wouldn't that have been something done from the start, and kept consistent throughout my k-12 years? why, aside from that letter, was the only thing done for me about it the awful "not allowed to run" sign my mother pinned to my shirt the first day of kindergarten, and the rescue inhaler kept in the nurse's office? (an inhaler that by high school my parents wouldn't even bother signing the waiver for, so i was always afraid of getting in trouble for carrying it in my backpack)

if you ask my parents, i was always their first priority. my mother starts to cry every time she says as much.

but then why. why does all the evidence point to the contrary?

how do i reconcile being wanted and loved but not cared for?

Eating Disorder: A Threat To Life | Solh Wellness

We frequently act in unhealthy ways unintentionally, like when we eat when we're feeling sad or stressed out. It happens that we forget about these bad habits because we are so deeply involved in the cycle of anxiety and binge eating. Not to mention the severe damage these communities have inflicted on us by enforcing diets and idolising thinness. In an effort to achieve a certain body type, people occasionally engage in risky behaviours as a result of these conventional notions of beauty. The vast majority of people fail to recognise the many harmful effects of binge eating and the obsession with achieving a certain body type. The fundamentals of unhealthy eating patterns and eating disorders must therefore be understood immediately.

What if you believe that the only things causing your eating disorder are a strict diet or episodes of binge eating?

Uncontrollable eating habits that are bad for your health, emotions, and ability to function on a daily basis are the main cause of eating disorders. Eating disorders are frequently characterised by obsession with food, weight, and body image, which can result in unhealthy eating patterns. In addition to other health issues, eating disorders can harm your bones, teeth, mouth, teeth, and digestive system. Your body's ability to absorb nutrients may also be hampered by these unhealthy eating practises.

Despite the fact that they can appear at any age, eating disorders frequently do so in adolescence and the first few years of adulthood. With the proper support, you can regain your capacity for healthy eating and, in some cases, even reverse serious side effects brought on by the eating disorder.

Depending on the disorder type, eating disorders have a variety of symptoms. Binge eating disorders, bulimia nervosa, and anorexia nervosa are the three most prevalent eating disorders. Other eating disorders include, for example, avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder and ruminative disorder.

Anorexia nervosa

The severe eating disorder anorexia nervosa, also referred to as "anorexia," has the potential to be severe. Atypically low body weight, intense anxiety about gaining weight, and an inaccurate perception of one's size or shape are its defining characteristics. Anorexics work extremely hard to maintain their weight and change their body composition, often at the expense of their health and ability to function normally.

You might severely restrict your caloric intake, exert yourself to the fullest extent, take laxatives or diet pills, or even vomit right after eating if you have anorexia. Dieting can harm your health and even cause you to starve yourself, even if you are underweight.

Bulimia nervosa 

A severe eating disorder that can be severe is bulimia, also known as bulimia nervosa. Episodes of binge eating occur in bulimic patients who experience a sense of helplessness when trying to stop. Bulimics frequently only eat during the day, which frequently causes binge eating and purging to increase.

During these episodes, you frequently consume a lot of food and attempt unhealthy calorie burning. You might make yourself throw up, work out until you are physically exhausted, take laxatives, or use other methods to get rid of the calories out of shame, guilt, and a strong fear of gaining weight from overeating. Bulimic patients often have a fixation with their weight and body image and a propensity for self-criticism of their perceived flaws. You may have a normal weight or be a little overweight.

Binge-eating disorder   

When you suffer from a binge-eating disorder, you frequently overeat (binge) and let go of control over your eating. Even when you are not hungry, you may eat quickly or consume more food than you intended to, and you may keep eating even after you begin to feel uncomfortable.

Following a binge, you might feel ashamed or guilty about how much food you consumed and how you behaved. The difference between you and someone who has bulimia or anorexia is that you don't try to make up for this behaviour with excessive exercise or purging.

Rumination disorder   

Food is repeatedly and persistently repeated after eating in rumination disorder. However, the cause of the problem is neither a disease nor a different eating disorder like bulimia, anorexia, or binge eating disorder. Food is unintentionally brought back into the mouth without gagging, queasy feeling, or vomiting. Rechewed, swallowed, or spit-out food that has been regurgitated on occasion. If the person spits out their food or eats significantly less food to stop the behaviour, malnutrition may be the result of the disorder. Rumination disorder may be more prevalent in young children or people with intellectual disabilities.

Avoidant/restrictive eating disorder

This disorder is characterised by a failure to consume enough food to meet your daily minimum nutritional needs because you are bored with eating, you avoid eating because of the colour, texture, smell, or flavour of food, or you are worried about the consequences of eating, like a fear of choking. You don't starve yourself because you're concerned about gaining weight. This disorder may cause a child to lose a lot of weight or fail to gain weight, which can lead to nutritional deficiencies and other health issues.

Causes

Like other mental illnesses, eating disorders can be brought on by a variety of unknown factors, such as biological ones. Some people may be genetically predisposed to eating disorders. Additionally, eating disorders may be influenced by biological elements like alterations in brain chemistry.

Psychological and emotional health. Patients with eating disorders may experience psychological and emotional problems that make their condition worse. Possible outcomes include relationships that are strained, perfectionism, low self-esteem, and impulsive behaviour.

Risk factors

Compared to men, teenage girls and young women are more likely to develop eating disorders like anorexia or bulimia. Eating disorders can happen at any age, but they most frequently start in adolescence and the early 20s.

The likelihood of developing an eating disorder may be influenced by a number of factors, including the following:

Family saga: If a person's parents or siblings have eating disorders, they are much more likely to develop eating disorders themselves.

Other mental disorders: Anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorders are frequently present in patients with eating disorders.

Starvation and dieting: An eating disorder can emerge as a result of dieting. Modifications in mood, rigid thinking, anxiety, and decreased appetite are just a few effects related to the brain. Strong evidence suggests that many eating disorder symptoms are also signs of starvation.

Stress: Your risk of developing an eating disorder may increase as a result of stress brought on by change. Moving, beginning a new job, enrolling in college, or resolving a family or relationship issue are a few examples.

Anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts are possible side effects of eating disorders. Your growth might be constrained. You are more likely to experience these complications if your habits are severe and persistent.

Even though there is no reliable method to prevent eating disorders, the following strategies can help your friend or a member of your family develop healthy eating habits:

Avoid dieting in their presence: Family dining customs might have an impact on how kids interact with food. When you eat meals with your kids, you can teach them about the harmful effects of dieting and promote a balanced diet with sensible serving sizes.

Sit next to them and engage in conversation: As an illustration, a lot of websites spread untrue information like the idea that anorexia is a lifestyle choice rather than an eating disorder. Dispelling misconceptions like these and informing them of the dangers of unhealthy eating habits are essential.

Creating and maintaining an optimistic body image: Remind your child that there are many different body types, no matter what size or shape their body is in. Don't be critical of your own body in front of relatives or friends. By strengthening their sense of self-worth and resilience, they will be better able to navigate the challenges of adolescence. This is made possible by encouraging dialogue and disseminating messages of acceptance and respect.

If you notice that they are exhibiting symptoms of an eating disorder, think about talking to a friend or member of your family. Even if you are unable to stop an eating disorder from developing, showing compassion may persuade the person to get help.

Ziqitza Limited Rajasthan - Diabetes can lead to depression among children and teens

Diabetes is a medical condition that can affect people of all ages. There are numerous types of diabetes, but the two most well-known types are, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is more common in children and adolescents, whereas Type 2 diabetes is more common in adults and can affect children as well.

 Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes, is a form of diabetes that affects children and young adults. However, current patterns also indicate that more young adults and adolescents are receiving Type 2 diabetes diagnoses. Ziqitza Healthcare ltd, one of India’s leading healthcare service providers says that diabetes is more than just a physical ailment. Diabetes and mental health are inextricably linked.

 Increased scientific evidence, according to Ziqitza Healthcare, shows that adolescents with Type 1 diabetes have a five-fold higher rate of depression than adolescents without Type 1 diabetes, and that children with diabetes are more likely to experience depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts.

 When a child is diagnosed with diabetes, several changes in their way of life and health occur. Ziqitza healthcare elaborates that diabetes patients not only go through physical changes, but also some emotional and mental health problems. Anxiety, stress, and mood swings are behavioural issues that diabetes-related stress presents in kids, teens, and parents.

 How do Children with Diabetes Go Through?

 They Feel Isolated: Children who have diabetes frequently feel different from their peers. They may need to see teachers or medical staff at school for insulin injections, medications, or blood sugar checks, which may make them feel out of the ordinary or lonely.

 They Deal with Denial: Ziqitza Rajasthan says that denial becomes a constant part of children with diabetes. The majority of kids and teens go to playgrounds, shopping centres, fast food restaurants, summer camps, and sleepovers, but kids with diabetes frequently aren't allowed because their parents are constantly concerned about their wellbeing.

 They Suffer from Depression: Diabetes and depression are associated with one another. According to some studies, children with diabetes have a higher risk of developing depression. Between 15 and 20% of adolescents with diabetes are depressed because of their diabetes. According to a recent study cited by Ziqitza Limited and published in the American Diabetes Association journal Diabetes Care, teenagers with T1D are more likely to experience depression than their non-diabetic peers. Researchers have found that depression can also compromise blood glucose monitoring, affect glycemic control, and lead to more frequent hospitalizations. For these reasons, both national and international standards recommend that all diabetic teenagers undergo routine depression screening.

 Children with diabetes frequently experience sadness, irritability, lack of focus, lethargy, sleep disturbances, appetite changes, low motivation, decreased participation in activities, and suicidal thoughts, according to ZHL Rajasthan.

 They are Stressed & Anxious: According to Ziqitza Limited Rajasthan, managing diabetes, checking blood sugar levels, and upholding a number of restrictions to keep diabetes under control can be stressful for kids and teenagers at a time when they are typically carefree and playful.

 It can become too much to handle the required hospital and clinic visits for diabetic care, monitoring the risks and complications involved, and lowering the risk of or avoiding other infections by keeping a strong immune system. Diabetes and stress therefore coexist in children.

 They Develop Eating Disorder:  According to Ziqitza Health care Limited, it is a disorder marked by abnormal eating habits like binge eating or calorie restriction. Dietary restrictions frequently cause diabetics to become overly self-conscious about their bodies, weight, and food intake. The practice of reducing food intake while increasing daily exercise to maintain body weight frequently results in the body being punished. You might notice symptoms like losing weight, throwing up, more frequent urination after meals, restrictive eating, bingeing, skipping meals, etc.

  Diabetes can be a mentally taxing medical condition. Therefore, using the best coping mechanisms can assist in preserving the mental health of children who have diabetes.

 Diabetes is associated with many physical and psychological challenges, so young people with diabetes need special care to manage the mental stress of diabetes. While some people seem to handle it well, others struggle. As a result, parents of diabetic children and caregivers need to be aware of the associated mental health problems.

⚡ astrobservations p.2 ⚡♌

🌟 houses

*this is a new theory i came up with but we might experience the energy of the opposite of our houses. for example, as a 1h venus person you may act more like a 7h venus where you avoid confrontation and value keeping the peace. as a 7h venus, you may act more like a 1h venus where you give more appericiation to your appearance and be more aggressive and argumentative.

as a 6h sun, you may find it more difficult to accomplish tasks at hand and be productive and it may feel like a burden to you, but you may easily get in contact with the astral realm and embrace your higher self.as a 12h sun, you may easily be productive and finish tasks and chores but struggle with surrendering to the divine, diving deep into spirituality or struggle to accept your gifts.

*mercury in 7h love to debate other people and share their ideas with other people

*jupiter in 5th gives excellent stage presence and abundance of creativity, its the ultimate performer and creator placement. people with chart ruler in 5h jupiter are often destined to become a creator/performer which can even mean being a tourist guide or a youtuber

*mercury in 5th people are never boring and they are extremely pleasant people who will make everything 5x more fun than it is. school work, chores, everything is funner with them!

🌟 synastry

*be VERY careful when getting into a relationship with 8th house synastry, especially if you are the planet person because you will most likely form an extreme attachment and obsession to the house person that will last for a very long time and can go into unhealthy lenghts. because you are the planet person and this is 8th house synastry we are talking about, the house person has immense power over you and they know it. they can see right through you. as the planet person, you want to be their one and only and feel they empower you, which makes you crave to be with them more because they give you power and their presence helps you get through anything. you will never forget about them and they become embeded in your subconscious. the house person will feel disturbed and triggered by you psychologically. but they become fascinated with the planet person. this makes an extremely transformative relationship. they bring out your true personality (especially if your sun is in their 8th house) to the surface and you trigger the heck out of them.   the planet person usually finds the house person when the house person is at their rock bottom and sometimes vice versa. 

 *venus conjunct sun synastry has an effect where the venus person is widely known as the sun person’s sweetheart. the venus person becomes a magnefied and known person in the sun persons life, almost like a celebrity couple/duo while the sun person is known by the venus persons’ favorite people and inner circle mostly.

*12th house synastry is a BITCH i fucking hate it because it makes everything so blurry and unknown you have no idea wtf is going on but you also cant make your way out and you idealise the person a lot

6th house synastry is EXCELLENT because you’re involved in each others lives so much. more often than not, you spend majority of your time in a day together whether by hanging out or texting and the planet person usually reports the house person what are they doing during the day (like a random text of “im repairing a bike rn” or “im going to x, i’ll be back in awhile” etc) and you care about each other A LOT. the planet person can take a director role in the house persons life and they help each other a lot

mars conjunctions are wonderful synastries for sticking through thick and thin, it makes a very dynamic and sexy couple

with mercury in 7th house synastry, it’s IMPOSSIBLE for the love to remain as a secret if it’s a romance relationship. it will come out. one of you will admit it sooner or later

🌟 other

*wherever your mars is placed in, is where you’re not scared to take action or assert yourself. example: my pisces mars friends are not afraid of getting in dangerous waters likecliff diving, swimming in wild waves, going too deep in water etc. i, as a leo mars am not afraid of putting myself out there and performing

*sagittarius suns love to eat, while sagittarius moons have less appetite and desire to eat

*aries moons love themes of war, they have a warrior-like approach to most things

*aries-pisces people turn war and warriorhood into fantasy and make it dreamlike. (example: grimes’ (a pisces sun aries moon) WarNymph persona)

*i didnt observe this myself but read that mars opposite uranus people have deranges pasts with knives and it’s SO true.

*fire moons enjoy energetic and upbeat music, earth moons love chill music (like indie, lofi, can be r&b too maybe), air moons can enjoy techno music&rap, and i’m not sure about water moons cause i don’t have many water moons in my life but i’m thinking they would enjoy songs with lyrics or beats that make them feel something and songs with stories. i’ve seen that they tend to listen to music of all kinds. earth moons openly discriminate amongst genres and dgaf

*pisces placements have divine intelligence and are revolutionaries. this is rarely mentioned and pisces are often described as “airheads” which they are because of their giant imaginations and unique thought process but it’s a sign of intelligence. pisces people pick up on ANYTHING so quickly, absorb information like a sponge and analyze it themselves to form an opinion and understand it. their thoughts and opinions often dont make to other people or shock them. they will bring revolution and newness into whatever area they are working with. (example: einstein, rihanna, grimes (she’s literally trying to make the “ethereal techno” an official genre and creating avatars. revolution), billie eilish, kurt cobain (helllooo  grunge king), paul mccartney, copernicus, aamir khan, steve jobs are all either pisces suns or risings

*sagittarians are similar in the sense that they like to discover new paths. they have the star quality (walt disney, britney spears, brad pitt, nicki minaj)

*it makes sense that the world’s most famous celebrity right now is a leo (kylie jenner)

*sagittarius and gemini risings have thick and pretty hair. it’s well styled and you want to run your hand through it. they’re physically advantaged

*aries suns and moons will just create trouble if they cant find it cause they love to throw themselves in tricky and dangerous situation as they feed off of it

*cancer moons get fucking poetic and dramatic at the slightest conflict, argument or emotional moment like they fucking channel the spirit of shakespeare. shhtoppp

*air sun, moon, mercury & venus dont like sadness, depression or traumatic memories so they will often program themselves to forget about heartbreaks or traumatic events and move on like they never happened or change the story and tell people different stories about what happened to convince themselves and twist reality.

*moon-saturn often naturally restricts food intake

most socialists/communists have taurus and sagittarius placements it’s INCREDIBLE

leo ic people are inherently and naturally charming af, thats because they are usually SHOWERED with love and affection as a child, they are often the only child and the golden child which obviously feeds someone with confidence for their life later on

libra moons will judge you on the inside if you are ugly sjdljsdf they dont like to be in aesthetically unpleasent spaces

[g00by3]

hey so my current health teachers mental health cirriculum sucks (i cant spell) so i made a list of most mental health disorders w info on each one. i plan on sending it to her but first i wanna check: is there any edits i should make? is there any misinformation or things i left out? pls let me know!! (paper below the cut):

Mental Health Disorders

Mental health disorders are a range of disorders that alter one's way of thinking, functioning, moods, and behavior. These disorders are often stigmatized but education about definitions and breaking down common misconceptions can help break the stigma. Breaking the stigma can help individuals get help while struggling with any of these disorders.

Trigger Warning for in-depth discussion of mental illness

Depression

Depression is a mental health disorder characterized through constant feeling of sadness, hopelessness, and general loss of interest in hobbies. These feelings impact your day to day life.

Types of depression include:

Major Depression/MDD (Major Depressive Disorder)- The technical term used by health professionals to describe the most common form of depression.

Manic Depression [Bipolar Disorder]- Bipolar Disorder was previously known as manic depression, and the term manic depression is outdated. The term “Bipolar disorder” was released in the DMS-3.

Seasonal Depression/SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder)- A mood disorder with a seasonal pattern. The cause is believed to be due to the variation of light exposure in different seasons. Depression in winter is the most common form of SAD.

Psychotic Depression- A disconnect from reality due to a depressive condition, which can involve hallucinations, delusions, paranoia, etc.

Anxiety

GAD or Generalized Anxiety Disorder is a disorder in which a person exhibits excessive anxiety most days, for at least 6 months, about a variety of things. This worrying impairs daily functioning. Anxiety can be related to a plethora of things such as health, social interactions, work/school, etc.

Types of anxiety include:

Panic Disorder- A type of anxiety disorder in which a person has recurring panic attacks. A panic attack are periods of extreme anxiety, often including increased heart rate, sweating, nausea, and other physical reactions.

Social Anxiety- Anxiety towards social or performance situations. People with social anxiety worry about how others will perceive them or their actions, which often causes them to avoid social situations.

Separation Anxiety Disorder- A disorder commonly seen in children (while still possible to occur in adulthood) in which an individual has anxiety about being separated from people they have an attachment towards.

PTSD

A type of anxiety disorder caused by experiencing, or witnessing a traumatic event. PTSD stands for “post-traumatic stress disorder.” In the World Wars it was known as “shell shock” and “combat fatigue” among the soldiers. Can be caused by a variety of things, such as war, death of a loved one, violence, abuse of any kind, natural disasters, car accidents, etc. Not everyone who goes through something traumatic develops PTSD though, as everyone’s brain works and processes things differently. PTSD includes symptoms of nightmares, flashbacks, body memories, etc.

C-PTSD or “Complex-PTSD” is a specific type of PTSD. This disorder occurs when trauma is long-lasting and repeating.

Eating Disorders

Eating disorders are a group of disorders characterized by severe and persistent disturbance in eating behaviors as a way to alter one’s weight and/or physical appearance.

Common types of eating disorders include:

Anorexia Nervosa- Individuals who struggle with this disorder often restrict their calorie or food intake, or carefully manage what they eat as a means to lose weight. Some people may also purge through the use of laxatives or self-induced vomiting, may over-exercise, and/or may binge eat. The distinction between “atypical” and “typical” anorexia is harmful and unnecessary as both are dangerous and cause the same amount of psychological as well as medical damage.

Bulimia Nervosa- A disorder in which an individual binge eats, or consumes large amounts of food in a short period of time, followed by purging.

BED (Binge-Eating Disorder)- A person with this disorder consumes large quantities of food in a small period of time, often to the point of discomfort, and experiences negative emotions in regards to it afterwards. These emotions include shame, guilt, or distress.

EDNOS (Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified)- When an individual meets many, but not all, of the diagnostic criteria of anorexia and bulimia.

DID

DID or Dissociative Identity Disorder is a disorder caused by repeated childhood trauma before the age of 7-9, which is when a child’s ego state is supposed to integrate but is unable to do so due to this disorder. It is described as the presence of two or more dissociative identities, or alters, with amnesia between them. People with this disorder are known as “systems” and alters are all individual identities. Previously known as MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder) until 1994, DID affects approximately 1% of the population worldwide.

OSDD (Otherwise Specified Dissociative Disorder), previously known as DDNOS (Dissociative Disorder Not Otherwise Specified) until the DSM-5’s release in 2013, is a disorder therapists may diagnosis when a patient experiences distressing dissociative symptoms that impair daily functioning, but don’t meet the full criteria for another dissociative disorder. OSDD-1 is a dissociative disorder that serves as a catch-all for individuals with symptoms that do not perfectly align with diagnostic criteria for another dissociative disorder.

The two types of OSDD-1 are:

OSDD-1a- A type of dissociative disorder in which alters are present but less distinguished and cannot “front” (take control of the body), but can passively influence one another. Amnesia is also present.

OSDD-1b- Distinct alters are present, can front, but there is no reported amnesia.

Other types of OSDD are:

OSDD-2- Derealization (feeling as though reality, or one’s surroundings aren’t real) without depersonalization (feeling disconnected from one’s body, thoughts, mind, memories, etc).

OSDD-3, OSDD-4, OSDD-5- Similar to DID symptoms, but due to brainwashing, dissociative trace, Ganser syndrome, etc.

OSDD-6- A dissociative disorder in which symptoms are unclear.

Bipolar Disorder

Bipolar disorder is a condition in which extreme mood swings with acute highs and drastic lows occur. This condition was known as manic depression until 1980. A manic episode is when a person with bipolar experiences increased euphoria, motivation, and hyperactivity, a decreased need for sleep, and oftentimes experiences feelings of being “godlike” or invincible. Manic episodes can also lead to impulsive behavior.

There are two types of bipolar disorder:

Bipolar I- At least one manic episode has occurred, with hypomanic and major depressive episodes occurring as well.

Bipolar II- At least one depressive episode and hypomanic episode. but a manic episode has never occurred.

OCD

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is a disorder in which a person gets stuck in a pattern of obsessions and compulsions. Obsessions are intrusive thoughts that trigger negative feelings that are intense and distressing. Compulsions are behaviors that a person with OCD partakes in to control these intrusive thoughts, or manage their distress. OCD is beyond just wanting to be clean or needing everything to be symmetrical- it is an exhausting disorder that negatively impacts one’s daily life.

ADHD

ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, and is characterized by symptoms of hyperactivity, difficulty paying attention, and impulsivity, all of which impact an individual negatively in two or more settings. ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) was a term used to describe individuals with symptoms of ADHD minus the hyperactivity, but as of the release of the DSM-5, it is an outdated term.

Body Dysmorphia

This is a mental health disorder in which a person fixates on a flaw in their appearance to the point where it is distressing and may cause a person to avoid social situations. Oftentimes this flaw seems minor, or even nonexistent to others, but to a person with body dysmorphia, it is anxiety-inducing.

Gender Dysphoria

Severe psychological distress due to an incongruence between one’s gender identity and their sex assigned at birth. Seen in lots of transgender individuals, but not all.

Psychotic Disorders

A kind of mental health disorder that impacts one’s mind and mode of thinking. These disorders often cause a disconnect from reality.

Types of psychotic disorders include:

Schizophrenia- A person with schizophrenia experiences changes in behavior, hallucinations, and delusions, all lasting longer than 6 months. These symptoms often affect the person in their daily life or relationships.

Schizoaffective Disorder- Symptoms of both schizophrenia and a mood disorder can be an indicator of schizoaffective disorder.

Delusional Disorder- A disorder in which an individual experiences a delusion (a belief that is held, but false) involving a real-life situation that isn’t true. Examples are: being followed, having a disease, and being plotted against. This delusion must be at least one month long. The five primary types of delusions are: mood or atmosphere, perception, memory, ideas, or awareness.

Personality Disorders

A personality disorder is a type of mental health disorder where an unhealthy pattern of thinking, functioning, and behaving occurs. This causes significant problems in an individual's life.

Types of personality disorders include:

BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder)- A mental health disorder with symptoms of: intense fear of abandonment, a pattern of unstable intense relationships, distorted sense of self/identity, dissociation, impulsive and risky behavior, suicidal threats or threats of self-harm, intense mood swings, inappropriate anger, and chronic emptiness.

ASPD (Antisocial Personality Disorder)- A disorder identified by patterns of disregarding or violating other’s emotions or wellbeing. A person with ASPD may not conform to societal norms, may lie or manipulate others, or act impulsively.

NPD (Narcissistic Personality Disorder)- A pattern of demands for admiration and/or a lack of empathy for others. A person with this personality disorder may view themselves as superior, expect to be worshipped or treated as above all else, or feel entitled to whatever their heart desires.

Avoidant Personality Disorder- A disorder characterized by being extremely shy, sensitivity to criticism, poor self-esteem, and feeling anxiety towards the way they are perceived.

OCPD (Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder)- Similar to OCD, as both have obsessions with rituals, habits, and cleanliness, but distinctly different. OCPD is a pattern of absorption in cleanliness, control, perfection, and schedules.

Paranoid Personality Disorder- A disorder in which a person is suspicious of others and their motives, seeing them as evil or bad. A person with this disorder may believe people are out to get them, or hurt them, or lie to them, and may avoid confiding in others due to this paranoia.

Histrionic Personality Disorder- A pattern of attention seeking and strong emotions. A person with this disorder will take extreme measures to be the center of attention, such as alter their appearance or act out.

Schizoid Personality Disorder- A pattern of detachment from social relationships, and difficulty expressing emotion. A person with schizoid personality disorder often chooses to be alone, and doesn’t care what others' views on them are.

Schizotypal Personality Disorder- People with this disorder have a pattern of being uncomfortable in close relationships. have distorted thinking, or eccentric behavior. They may behave in ways that seem strange or believe odd things.

Substance Use Disorder/Drug Addiction

Substance Use Disorder is a disease that impacts a person mentally and physically, and affects nearly 21 million Americans. Drug addiction happens when a person is unable to control their use of a drug due to a variety of reasons, despite the harm it causes.

Conduct Disorder

A serious disorder in which a child/teen displays a pattern of disruptive or violent behavior, and has trouble obeying rules.

[Gakuen K] Common Route: Prologue Translation

*Translator’s note : MC’s name shall remain as my normal (水嶋ラン) *Done on a whim, please spare me.  Gakuen K Masterlist ! *Spoiler FREE : Translations under cut !

Ran: So this is Super Ashinaka Academy, the school I’ll be attending from today onwards...What a humongous school it is.

Ran: Now, where’s the Headmaster’s Office?

»» ━━━━━━━ ∘◦♔◦∘ ━━━━━━━ ««

???: ~~♪ Pardon the intrusion~!

???: Hello! Eh? There’s no one here. What a pity; I’ve even brought souvenirs from Hokkaido…

???: Maybe I should wait in here for a bit since I’ve already come all the way here. I’ve also always wanted to try sitting in the Headmaster’s chair!

???: Haha, it’s as fluffy as it looks. Now, if only the chairs in the classrooms were as comfy as this!

???: I wonder where the Headmaster went? He’s usually always in. Hm…? Isn’t this…

???: It’s the pamphlet for this Island’s Super Ashinaka Academy…

????: That pamphlet’s for the new transfer student.

????: Morning, Isana Yashiro-kun. How unusual for you to already be in school this early in the day..

Yashiro: I’m actually here because I’ve got something to give you, Headmaster Miwa Ichigen. I’m only joking, though…

Yashiro: Here you go. This is the souvenir you wanted me to get for you from Hokkaido; A statue of some Professor who’s name I can’t remember.

Ichigen: Not just any Professor, it’s Clark. “Boys, be ambitious!” His catchphrase is brilliant and also extremely fitting for a teacher.

Ichigen: This catchphrase of his is also annotated in the pamphlet you’re holding right now.

Yashiro: Eh? Really? Where is it? This pamphlet has way more pages compared to when I got mine…

Ichigen: Perhaps. In any case, back when you enrolled into this school...Hang on, when did you enroll, again?

Yashiro: I suppose it’s been so long that even someone like you can’t remember. This school has also changed a lot since then.

Yashiro: It started out as a simple school, but then the number of buildings steadily increased over time. And now, it’s become like a small city.

Ichigen: It’s actually a city, all things considered. This Island is now called Super Ashinaka Academy, after all.

Ichigen: This school provides support starting from Kindergarten all the way to Employment; an Integrated Education.

Ichigen: A nice, friendly, yet also at times, strict, school. One that allows students to tread the right path to a brighter future. A place where individuals can grow and develop their own talents freely without any restrictions.

Yashiro: It’s strange how this Island has its own Economy, but what’s even stranger about the whole thing is how there are people within the Student Body who wield Abilities.

Yashiro: People who can control things like Fire and Space, the abilities of which cannot be explained by science. Alienated by people because of the power they wield…

Yashiro: It’s a sad story, really. For people to be alienated just because of that, even though they breathe the same air, eat the same food, and see the same things everyone does.

Ichigen: Indeed; but it’s only natural to be wary and afraid of things that one has never seen or experienced before in life.

Ichigen: And this school exists to disperse that fear that the people have.

Ichigen: Those with abilities will enter Extraordinary Clubs where they can face their own Abilities and find their own ways in life.

Ichigen: In addition to that, people with no abilities can also join these clubs and obtain these Special Abilities as well.

Yashiro: Although, whether they can enter a Club or not is dependent on the President of the respective Clubs.

Ichigen: That is something that cannot be avoided, for each and every one of these Extraordinary Clubs are different and unique. They each have a core principle they uphold and rules that they adhere to.

Yashiro: Rules, huh. They all seem to be doing whatever they like from what I see, though.

Ichigen: Well, your Club’s no different from the rest in regards to that matter now, is it?

Yashiro: Haha. You’re right. We do fly around in our prided airship, Himmelreich.

Yashiro: ...I’m still not too sure about this year. Do you think there’s anyone suited to joining my Club?

Ichigen: One can only wonder. There didn’t seem to be any Ability Holders within the current intake of students this year, but...

Yashiro: But…?

Ichigen: I believe I’ve already told you this before, but there’s an interesting girl who’s going to be transferring in from outside of this Island.

Yashiro: Outside of this Island? Interesting…? Oh! The girl you were telling me about back then! I see; so she’s finally transferring in.

Ichigen: I’m going to be meeting her later on after this. Will you be sitting in?

Yashiro: Hmm. I guess I’ll pass after all. Surprises are best left to later.

Yashiro: I do hope that she gets to have a brilliant school life. Not just her, but every other student in here as well!

Next Scene: The transfer into Super Ashinaka Academy

[fakehumanitarianho]

How to lose weight?? I feel so horrible and like I have no control of how much I’m eating but at the same time I don’t wanna be hungry :/

-Whatever you do it needs to be sustainable. -Little changes can make a big difference. -Portion control matters, but that doesn’t mean restricting (which ultimately leads to a binge sooner or later).

I’m not sure if you eat animal products, but cutting them out, especially dairy, can be helpful with weight loss. I recommend the “raw till 4” style of eating, which pretty much just means you can only eat raw, vegan food until mid day. Example of a HEALTHY day on that style of eating: for breakfast have a big ass smoothie (use water or fresh squeezed juice instead of milk/milk substitute) made from fruit, veggies, nuts, seeds, avo...whatever you want, for snack have a big bowl of fresh fruit, for lunch have a huge salad like spinach/romaine/tomato/cucumber/sprouts/a little avo or raw tahini and lemon juice as dressing, for snack have fresh veggies or another smoothie, and then for dinner have your cooked foods like a baked sweet potato with hummus, lentils, broccoli and cauliflower, fish if you eat it, etc.

Consistently eat that way, avoid things that come in boxes/packages/bags/cans and you will be shocked how easy it is to lose weight. Avoid take out because holy oil, sugar, and salt.

Also, stay hydrated!! Tons of water and herbal tea. I would also try to start incorporating fresh green juices if it’s within your budget. They are actually quite filling and obviously extremely healthy.

Healthy fat is important but don’t go crazy with it. 1/4-1/2 an avo per day is plenty or a small handful of nuts or a tablespoon of hemp seeds in your smoothie, etc.

Keep your grain intake low and maybe even cut out gluten.

I reccomend cutting out all oils while you’re trying to lose weight. Either cook with water or bake your food. Replace oil with water/lemon juice/lime juice/ACV, or coconut aminos.

I don’t recommend counting calories & macros unless you’re severely overweight and it’s a health issue. When you’re eating clean, incopoerating an abundance of fresh fruit and veggies, and getting enough to eat and drink, your body will calm down and you won’t feel so out of control when it comes to food. Feeling like you have no control with food is probably due to 1. You’re restricting and/or 2. Emotional/mental issues such as eating as a way to cope with sadness. Address those issues whether that’s journaling every time you feel a binge coming on, therapy, going on a walk/yoga, taking to a friend or family member, etc.

Idc what any of the gym bros try to say- Weight really is 80% what you eat and of course there needs to be exercise activity too (20%), but don’t kill yourself with cardio because that will trigger that urge to eat everythingggg in large amounts. Swimming, hiking, yoga, Pilates, barre, long walks, dancing, maybe a little weight lifting, walking incline on treadmill are all great options. Women need to be careful when it comes to cardio because of our hormones. Whatever you do you want it to be enjoyable or it will eventually backfire. Maybe get a workout buddy (someone in your fam or close friend due to covid?).

Please be safe and treat your body with love! Consistency is key alongside focusing on eating healthy, whole foods rather than focusing on restricting and punishing yourself.

Losing weight and toning up takes time!!!

I don’t have all the answers, and I’m not perfect myself. I’ve struggled with EDNOS for the majority of my life, and I can tell you that restricting/purging/overexercising is NOT the answer and it ruins your health. I am almost finished with my masters in nutrition so I’m not just talking out of my ass either lol 💕

we’ve been reading a lot about avoidant restrictive food intake disorder lately and idk if we are at a point where we would be likely to be diagnosed with it; we haven’t lost weight from avoiding foods but i think eating mostly simple carbs has been making us more depressed/fatigued & we’ve been feeling pretty bad about food lately to the point of having a big breakdown (like, a #self harm kind of breakdown) earlier this week about not being able to eat something we ordered,,,

we think it’s partly coming up a lot lately because of stress and because we are going to be moving to live with our mom’s family soon and overall we are very excited for the move because it’s a place we like being and we get along well with them but in the past we have had Bad Times there specifically around not being able to eat a lot when we have visited in the past because our grandparents made pretty much the same things for lunch every day and they were always things we found really unpleasant :’| so usually when we were there we would just. be sad and hungry

we’ve been talking to hecate etc about it though and that’s helping a lot, and we have a video call scheduled with a nutritionist who seems really nice and good (she specifically said that she doesn’t involve weight talk unless the patient brings it up which we are sooo glad about) and we are hoping that sitting down and making a List of textures/flavors that are good vs Not Good will help

I was called “an abomination” for being disabled

**ableism trigger warning**

Today I was scrolling through Instagram and I noticed that a girl I used to know back in elementary school had posted graphic photos of dying animals along with a caption that essentially said that anyone who eats any animal products is evil. Her intention, clearly, was to shame anyone who doesn’t make the same dietary choices as her. I’m always bothered when I see posts like this, because I recognize the ableism inherent in these sorts of broad shaming statements. They all rely on the idea that everyone is capable of becoming vegan, and often when people with these beliefs are questioned they will stand behind the idea that “anyone can find a vegan way to meet their nutritional needs.” But that simply isn’t true. There are a wide variety of disabilities, allergies, intolerances, etc., that can prevent a person from safely eating a vegan or vegetarian diet.

I myself am someone who, because of my disabilities, is unable to survive on a vegan or vegetarian diet. Not only do I have specific nutritional deficiencies due to poor stomach absorption, I also have a condition that severely limits the foods I can eat. This condition arose because back when I was an infant, my Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome caused severe acid reflux which made eating a painful experience. As a result, my brain formed negative associations with food, and these negative associations led to the development of Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder. ARFID is a condition in which people experience both mental and physical aversions to food, often lack a normal appetite, and can have their gag reflex activated simply by tasting or even smelling a food that isn’t on their “safe” list. The condition is largely subconscious, making it very difficult to control and not something a person could just “get over” or “push through.” We have very real physical reactions to foods outside of our usually tiny “safe” lists.

On another day I might not have bothered to comment on the post my acquaintance made, but today I was already feeling sensitive. My best friend in the world, who also has ARFID, is currently away at an event and is going through hell in part because she is faced with group meals comprised of foods she can’t eat. So knowing how much this wonderful, amazing friend of mine is suffering right now because of ARFID, I couldn’t stand to see someone ignorant of the condition imply that people, like my best friend and I, who eat meat and cheese are all terrible people. So I commented and politely told the person who made the post that she might want to avoid making broad shaming statements because they can be harmful to disabled people who have no choice but to consume animal products.

The next thing I knew, she was private messaging me and calling me a liar, saying that anyone could go vegan and demanding I provide sources stating the opposite. I complied and provided 9 separate scholarly sources discussing various issues like allergies, chronic illnesses which can cause zinc deficiencies (a deficiency which can be worsened by excessive vegetable consumption), studies that show that veganism worsens IBS, and of course I provided information on ARFID as well. The girl, who likely didn’t even read the sources, made it pretty clear she didn’t believe me. I’ll let the screenshots tell the next part of the story.

The things she said to me in this conversation were perhaps the cruelest and most dehumanizing things that I have ever had said directly to me. By calling me an abomination and telling me not to have kids so that I don’t pass on my “bad genes,” she essentially told me that she believed I am less than human and that people like me shouldn’t exist. The fact that in 2019 there are still people who think it is okay to say this sort of thing to disabled people is revolting. This faux-progressive girl would likely never say this sort of thing to a member of another minority group, would never imply that they were abominations, but she sees no issue in saying that same thing to a disabled person.

I’m lucky that this didn’t have too bad of an impact on my mental health because I’ve been a part of the disability activism community long enough to have grown to accept and embrace my disabilities. I understand that they are part of what makes me who I am, and while I still have days where I hate them and feel sad about them, overall I try to love them because if I didn’t have them then I wouldn’t be me. I try to remind myself every day that there is no “right way” to be a person, and that I don’t need to conform to arbitrary abled standards in order to be successful and happy.

But still, seeing this was a bit of a punch to the gut because it cut straight to the insecurities I had back before I began to love myself. I used to wonder if maybe I was too “broken” to exist, and used to think that my family would have been better off if I’d never been born. I know better now, but those thoughts still haunt me at times. I showed the girl’s messages to my parents a few hours after I got them, and it was heartbreaking to watch my mother tear up. “I feel the same as I did when you used to come home from school and ask me why kids were bullying you,” she said, “I want to have an explanation but I really don’t know. I really don’t understand how someone could say something this cruel to you.”

I really hope that anyone who sees this will reblog it, I really want this girl’s terrible words to be seen. Because ableism is not going to end until people are held accountable for it in the same way they are held accountable for other forms of discrimination.
