How to stay safe while restricting!!!

daintyanddelicate:

1) do not fast for more than 36 hours (including sleeping) even if you just eat something small.

2) if you start to feel NAUSEOUS after not eating for a long period of time, EAT SOMETHING. This means your blood sugar is dropping to dangerous levels.

3) eat slowly when you begin to eat again, especially if your blood sugar is low, bc you could risk throwing up.

4) if your hands and feet begin to tingle or feel senseless, get under a heated blanket or warm bath. This will help calm your body.

5) if you start to see black spots and/or feel dizzy, sit down and take a few deep breaths.

6) if you feel your breathing begin to get more shallow, eat something small bc this means again that your blood sugar is dropping too quickly.

7) DO NOT PUSH IT. remember to take breaks and not excessively work out or stress yourself out.

Stay safe, lovelies. 💞💜💞

You know whats really fucking annoying? The fact that no matter what i wear, i feel and look like shit. I fucking hate it. Like, i know the clothes are nice and they logically look fine but there’s a large part of me that keeps saying i look like shit. I hate it

“You don’t have to be underweight to have anorexia.”

restoringsunshine:

Actually, yes you do. Right now, diagnostically, you do. And it doesn’t matter where you stand on that. I actually disagree with the criteria personally, but the fact that I disagree with it doesn’t make it disappear.
If we could learn to say that not all EDs are anorexia, but all EDs ARE serious, we may actually make progress in validating (and subsequently treating) all EDs.

Anorexia

99-is-the-goal:

I am anorexic. Some people don’t know what this means. They that it means you skip dinner sometimes. Or they think it means you never eat at all. People will look at a skinny girl and call her anorexic as a joke. They will do it right in front of you and all you wanna do is scream and shake their shoulders and tell them they are ignorant. People will laugh at the fat girl when she asks for help. Nobody cares if the fat girl starves herself because she” isn’t gonna die” yet because “she is safe” because “it’s just a diet”. When you are a healthy weight can you stop eating they ever notice, you can lose 10, to 20, then 30, or 40, you can be like me and lose 50 pounds and they won’t say anything till you thighs are apart and your ribs stick out. They won’t care until you pass out during volleyball or until you go a whole week without eating and somebody says something. Nobody cares unless you’re skinny.

I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:

IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.

1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.

2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.

3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”

4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”

5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.

TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.

Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
