໑ৎ♡ About The Creator ♡໑ৎ

I’m Rhysand (pronounced Reese-Sund), also known as Rhys (pronounced Reese). I’m a Neurodivergent, Queer, and Nonhuman Reality Shifter.

Neurodivergent Identity:

I’m undiagnosed AuDHD (Autism + ADHD), APD (Auditory Processing Disorder), SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder), ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), and Pure O OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), medically recognized PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and SAD (Social Anxiety Disorder), and diagnosed MDD (Major Depressive Disorder) and GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder). I’m also undiagnosed PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) and/or PME (Premenstrual Exacerbation).

I also have a few other undiagnosed things, like BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder), Misophonia, Excoriation Disorder, and Trichotillomania. Those are things that just come along with my “main” mental illnesses and neurodivergencies.

I don’t yet have the confidence to say that I’m disabled (because I don’t wish to intrude on that community or mislabel myself), but I probably am, due to my severe daily executive dysfunction and a few other things.

I have special interests in Wings Of Fire, Harry Potter, Dragons in general, and Neurodivergency.

I have no current hyperfixations, and I’m incredibly low on dopamine.

Tone tags are very appreciated when talking to me, so please use them! If you aren’t sure how, just ask and I will let you know! <3

Shifting Things:

I first found shifting in 2020 or 2021 on Tiktok, and as soon as I heard about it, I did my own research on it. I started trying to shift often, even with my lack of knowledge on the subject and my poor mindset. I originally wanted to permashift and/or respawn, but after I realized just how much it was effecting me mentally, I took a major break from it for about 3 or 4 years, only trying to shift occasionally.

I found shiftblr in early 2024, and my shifting knowledge increased, my mindset improved, and my motivation was renewed.

I’ve shifted once to a parallel reality, where I relived/redid a day.

I’m considering permashifting to my Better CR DR, but I have way too many DRs, so we’ll see how that goes.

Queer Identity:

I’m very queer in the gender, NOT a girl or under the womanhood category, and I use He/They pronouns + any/all neopronouns, nounself pronouns, xenopronouns, and emojiself pronouns.

My most preferred pronouns are He/Him, It/Its, Xe/Xym, Ze/Zym, Ne/Nim, Ne/Nym, 🌙/🌙’s/🌙self, Moon/Moonself, Bug/Bugself, Bee/Beeself, and honestly a lot more. Go haywire, as long as it’s not She/Her, you’re all good.

I’m AroAce, Aromantic and Myrsexual (Neuroasexual, Nebulasexual, Requiesexual, Rosesexual, Merosexual, Placiosexual, Falsaesthsexual, Acorsexual, Apothisexual, Bellussexual, and Dreadsexual), and I’m Homoalterous, Omniqueerplatonic, Panexteramo, Pansensual, and Panaesthetic.

I’m a Lesboy and T4T-leaning.

I’m Ambiamorous and have no preference.

Please use masculine, neutral, creature, fey, dragon, wolf, and thing terms when referring to me.

Nonhuman Identity:

I’m a Polytherian, Otherkin, Otherlink, Otherfix, Otherhearted, and Fictionflicker. I fluctuate between Nonhuman and Human, sometimes one is stronger than the other one and visa versus, but always on some level both, but I mainly just say I’m nonhuman. I’m Transspecies and Voidpunk. I’ve only been awakened for a few months.

My theriotypes are Vancouver Coastal Sea Wolf, Red Fox, Nurse Shark, Snow Leopard, Norwegian Forest Cat, and Canada Lynx.

My kintypes are fictionkin (Dark Fey, Forest Type, from the Maleficent movies), dragonkin (SeaWing/SilkWing hybrid), dragonkin (Night-Light Fury Hybrid) and Raccoonkin.

My linktypes are Owl (Snowy or Barn) and Sable.

I’ve been Fictionflicker for Hylian and one of my OC species (Orphinki).

I have a Whale Shark Hearttype.

Sebastian’s Introduction

I’m Sebastian, also called Seb, Sebby, Bastian, Seabass, and any other alternatives. I don’t have a preference. This is my blog for me to post random stuff, be funky, and find funky friends. Welcome!

About Me (Queer)

I’m a transguy, and I experience several other genders. Xenogenders, masculine/guy-aligned genders, and nonbinary genders. A lot of them are fluid, but on some level I am always a guy.

I use He/They/It/Any Neos pronouns. I don’t have a preference, but I would appreciate/prefer if you mixed them up when using them for me.

I’m AroAce, Aromantic and Asexual strictly, and I am Onealterous (I just say gay for this one usually), Oneexteramo (I also say gay for this one usually), Panqueerplatonic, Pansensual, and Panaesthetic (+ Panfamilial & Panplatonic).

I’m Polyamorous, and new to polyamorous relationships. I do have two boyfriends, @corbinsthinkingcap (He/Him) and @imin-lovewithaboy (He/Him).

I’m heavily T4T-leaning, and a lesboy. My attraction towards women/women-aligned/feminine/feminine-aligned people is queer, but I don’t consider myself a lesbian.

About Me (Neurodivergence + Disabilities)

I’m heavily Neurodivergent and disabled in many different ways.

I’m Autistic, ADHD (Combined Type), have OCD (Pure O Type), APD (Auditory Processing Disorder), SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder), ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder)(Avoidant Type), C-PTSD (Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder), BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder), SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder), SAD (Social Anxiety Disorder), PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder), Misophonia, Trichotillomania, Alexthymia, PDA (Pathological Defiance Disorder, otherwise known as Persistent Drive of Autonomy), and Dermatillomania. I am in the giant process of diagnosing all of that, and a lot of them are medically recognized.

I have diagnosed GAD and MDD.

Because of a lot of my neurodivergence, I struggle with executive dysfunction a lot, eating, drinking, self-care, socializing, interacting, and a lot more. It all disables me greatly, even if I am most likely considered “high functioning” by society/allistics.

I have a multitude of suspected chronic illnesses: hEDS, POTS, Gastroparesis, IBS, & more.

Even though they are not diagnosed yet, and I am still currently in the process of diagnosing them, I am most definitely disabled from them. I am already treating them as well with Physical Therapy.

I experience chronic pain, chronic headaches, chronic fatigue, chronic dislocations & subluxations, daily nausea, daily pre-syncope episodes, frequent & easy bruising, sprains, even more disabling flare ups (where all of my symptoms become significantly/noticeably worse), and a lot more.

I am an Ambulatory Mobility Aid User, and plan on getting a wheelchair in the future.

I’m diagnosed with celiac disease, a dairy allergy, and have loads of allergies to different things otherwise too. Assume most things I cannot eat.

About Me (Nonhumanity)

I’m very Nonhuman. I’m Transspecies, Humanfluid, Voidpunk, Otherfix, Otherflicker, Polytherian, Otherkin, and Otherhearted.

I am also a Physical Nonhuman in the way that since I am nonhuman, so is my body.

I don’t often experience phantom shifts of any kind, and I more experience species dysphoria and euphoria.

I have some gear (one tail, in the process of making some masks, etc.), and I do quadrobics VERY occasionally, because it’s dangerous for me to do with my suspected health conditions.

About Me (Other)

I’m a Dual Faith Polytheist, and I’m currently working with Apollo, Lady Aphrodite, Lord Hades, Lady Persephone, Artemis, Loki, Hecate, and Athena. I’m currently worshipping all except for Hecate and Athena, although I’m hoping to make an altar and start worshipping Athena soon.

I have one sibling (Any Pronouns), and they’re the coolest ever. I won’t be tagging him since she doesn’t use tumblr that much.

I enjoy drawing, creating things, painting, writing, jewelry-making, and a multitude of other things.

My Special Interests are Wings Of Fire, Harry Potter, Dragons, My Boyfriend, and Neurodivergence + Disabilities.

My Current Hyperfixation is probably craft stuff and my boyfriend.

I’m a reality shifter, and have shifted way too many times to count, and all to parallel realities.

I have a few other accounts, but the only other one I’m active and actually on is @sebs-out-of-spoons.

And no DNI really, I will block who I block if I find we don’t align on stances in any way. Just assume you’re welcome until you aren’t. <3

Hello, shifter. I’m Rhysand (pronounced Reese-Sund), also known as Rhys (pronounced Reese). I’m a Neurodivergent, Queer, and Nonhuman Reality Shifter. Come along on my journey with me, let’s see how many bonds we can make along the way. :]

About Me (Neurodivergency)

𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸

I’m undiagnosed AuDHD (Autism + ADHD), PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), and Pure O OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) (trying to get these diagnosed ASAP), medically recognized SAD (Social Anxiety Disorder)(also trying to get this diagnosed ASAP), and diagnosed MDD (Major Depressive Disorder) and GAD (Generalized Anxiety Disorder).

I also have undiagnosed ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder), SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder), APD (Auditory Processing Disorder), and a majority of other “smaller” related things to my main neurodivergencies and mental illnesses (mainly things related to my AuDHD and OCD).

I don’t yet feel confident to label myself as disabled (because I don’t want to intrude on the disabled community or mislabel myself as such), but I probably am, due to my severe executive dysfunction, and several other things.

I’m in therapy, and I adore my therapist, even though they call me out constantly. (Keeping their name, pronouns, and terms secret for privacy reasons.)

About Me (Reality Shifting)

𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸

I’ve been aware of the shifting community since around 2020 or 2021. I discovered it from Tiktok, and did my own research into it immediately. Unfortunately, there wasn’t that many good resources, so my understanding of it was very simple, and my mindset was very poor. I tried shifting for a while at first, but then took a huge break from it, only trying every now and then, until early 2024. Now, with the help of shiftblr, I’ve been able to grow my knowledge of it and get motivation and mindset changes. I’ve also shifted to a parallel reality since joining shiftblr. I now attempt to shift actively (every night), and usually get a fair amount of symptoms. I am debating on permashifting to my Better CR DR right now.

𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸

About Me (Queer Identity)

𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸

I’m a Genderfluid Genderflux Non-Binary TransGuy. I experience a lot of genders within that label, so I can’t say them all here. Been feeling agender with a dash of masculine for quite a bit now, though.

I use any pronouns except for She/Her. My main pronouns are He/They/It/Xe/Ze/Ne, and I also very much love nounself and emojiself pronouns. I like 🌙/🌙’s/🌙self a lot, and any other emojiself ones.

I’m comfy with Masculine, Neutral, Thing, Creature/Critter, Fey, Hylian, and Dragon terms.

I’m AroAce, Aromantic and Myrsexual (Neuroasexual, Nebulasexual, Requiesexual, Rosesexual, Dreadsexual, Placiosexual, and Merosexual), and I’m Homoalterous, Omniqueerplatonic, Panexteramo, Pansensual, and Panaesthetic.

I’m Ambiamorous with no preference.

I’m also a Lesboy and T4T.

𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸

About Me (Nonhumanity)

𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸𖥸

I’m a Polytherian, Otherkin, Otherlink, Otherfix, Otherhearted, and Fictionflicker nonhuman.

My Theriotypes are: Wolf (Vancouver Coastal Sea Wolf), Fox (Red Fox), Lynx (Canada Lynx), Snow Leopard, Norwegian Forest Cat, and Nurse Shark..

My Kintypes are: Fiction (Dark Fey, Forest Type, from the Maleficent movies), Dragon (SilkWing/SeaWing hybrid), Dragon (Night-Light Fury Hybrid), and Raccoon.

My Linktypes are: Owl (Snowy or Barn) and Sable.

My Fictionflicker types have been: An OC Species of mine (Orphinki) and Hylian.

My hearttypes are: Whale Shark.

I’ve been awakened since around April of 2024. My Dark Fey kintype is probably because of a past life, although I don’t really have any solid memories of it, more just a great sense of things that were from that life. The rest of my nonhumanity is likely due to my neurodivergency. I don’t experience many shifts, but when I have, they have been partial shifts. I experience a lot of species dysphoria and species envy, though.

I’m celiac, and have a dairy intolerance, so fun for me (sarcasm).

I stand very much with Palestine.

I swear loads, so beware of that.

I have one older sibling (She/Her), who is also queer and a master shifter. She can shift literally whenever she wants to. She has the mindset all shifters dream of.

Vitamin D Supplement: Benefits, Dosage, and Best Sources

Vitamin D is an essential nutrient that plays a crucial role in maintaining bone health, boosting immunity, and supporting overall well-being. While sunlight is a natural source of vitamin D, many people struggle to get enough exposure due to lifestyle factors, geographical location, or dietary restrictions. This is where a vitamin D supplement comes in, offering an easy and effective way to meet daily requirements.

Why Do You Need a Vitamin D Supplement?

Vitamin D is vital for calcium absorption in the body, which directly impacts bone strength and density. A deficiency in this nutrient can lead to various health issues, including:

Weak bones and osteoporosis: Lack of vitamin D can cause brittle bones, increasing the risk of fractures.

Weakened immune system: Vitamin D helps in fighting infections and reducing inflammation.

Mood disorders: Low vitamin D levels are linked to depression and seasonal affective disorder (SAD).

Muscle weakness: This can lead to fatigue and decreased physical performance.

Chronic diseases: Research suggests a link between vitamin D deficiency and diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular issues, and even some types of cancer.

Best Sources of Vitamin D

Before turning to supplements, it's good to know the natural sources of vitamin D:

Sunlight: Your skin produces vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, making it the most natural source.

Fatty fish: Salmon, mackerel, and sardines are rich in vitamin D.

Egg yolks: A simple and accessible way to boost your vitamin D intake.

Dairy and fortified foods: Milk, orange juice, and cereals are often fortified with vitamin D.

Despite these sources, many people still fail to meet their daily requirements, making a vitamin D supplement necessary.

Choosing the Right Vitamin D Supplement

When selecting a vitamin D supplement, consider the following factors:

Vitamin D2 vs. D3: Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is more effective than D2 (ergocalciferol) as it is better absorbed and utilized by the body.

Dosage: The recommended daily allowance (RDA) varies by age and health condition. Generally, adults require around 600-800 IU per day, but those with deficiencies may need higher doses.

Form: Supplements are available in tablets, capsules, drops, and gummies. Choose one that suits your preference.

Quality and Certification: Opt for supplements that are third-party tested for purity and potency.

When and How to Take a Vitamin D Supplement

With Meals: Since vitamin D is fat-soluble, it is best absorbed when taken with a meal containing healthy fats.

Consistently: Taking it daily or as recommended by a healthcare provider ensures optimal benefits.

Regular Testing: If you suspect a deficiency, a blood test can help determine the right dosage for your needs.

Final Thoughts

A vitamin D supplement can be a game-changer for those who struggle to get enough from sunlight and food. It supports bone health, immunity, and overall well-being, making it an essential addition to many people’s routines. However, it’s always best to consult a healthcare professional before starting any supplement to ensure proper dosage and avoid potential side effects.

Hiii aloe 8+ 10 + 12 :3

(From the Autistic Ask Game here)

Hii Axel! :D I have a Lot to say, so be prepared gdkhskgsjsg

8. Do you have any comorbid conditions? If so, do they affect your autism, or vice versa?

Sure! I have anxiety, depression, GI issues (chronic nausea, chronic dyspepsia, and gastroparesis), and possibly ARFID (avoidant-restrictive food intake disorder) (this one is heavily debated amongst my family and doctors haha).

I'm not Totally sure if OCD is comorbid with autism too, but I do have that as well! I think my anxiety and OCD influence my autism the most, and vice versa-- I get very picky about sensory things when I'm stressed by anxiety/OCD triggers (I seek out things I like and get really pissy if I have to deal with things I Do Not like), and if I experience a lot of bad sensory things (like carpet), I get very stressed and obsessive (this usually results in a Lot of hand-washing, or sanitizing things). These all feel very Connected, like I can't cleanly separate out one condition and identify it as different to the other two. If that makes sense lmao,,

10. Do you collect merchandise of your special interests?

When I have money for it, I do! I really like plushies, pins, and stickers :D I have multiple Sanrio plushies and stickers (Cinnamoroll is my fav), I have a plushie of Five Pebbles from Rain World, a figurine of Hunter from Rain World that I made myself, and I have pins of Hunter x Hunter, Promare, Legend of Zelda, and Vocaloid 🥳💕

One of the LoZ pins I also made myself using Redbubble! I wanna make more merch in the future, especially for things I can't find anywhere else, like Aither from Epic Seven 🥺 I need Aither merch so bad it's unreal

12. Are you more sensory seeking or sensory avoidant, or do you experience both to varying degrees, at different times?

I'd say I'm very much both! When it comes to physical touch, I'm generally more avoidant, especially since I have germaphobic OCD.

I Don't like to feel the clothing I wear, so it has to be loose and comfortable enough I don't notice it, and I Don't like touching super textured stuff like carpet. Carpet is a huuuge no-no for me.

I'm also pretty avoidant when it comes to sound. I have auditory processing issues, so it's extra hard to hear people when there's Other Noises going on, y'know? I really like sitting quietly, and I always have my headphones on The Lowest Setting Possible unless there's a lot of noise getting in the way.

But when it comes to taste, I'm often pretty sensory-seeking! I Really enjoy super sour stuff, and I prefer my food to not be one boring texture, or it gets Bad pretty fast and I have to eat something else to shake things up.

Charcuterie boards are like heaven to me, and back when I used to eat more, I liked putting together plates of different foods, neatly separated so they Do Not Touch 💕 But I have a feeding tube now, so I just eat tiny little snacks every once in a while, like a handful of crackers or a small slice of pie :3 It might sound kinda sad, but it's really nice actually-- I don't have to deal with feeling ill as much anymore 🎉 Like I love food, but ough it makes me sick

Thank you for the ask!! And for listening to me ramble, hehe

The Link Between Diabetes and Mental Health: How to Take Care of Both

Introduction:

Diabetes is not just a physical condition—it can have a significant impact on mental health as well. Managing a chronic illness like diabetes can be overwhelming, and many people with diabetes struggle with feelings of stress, anxiety, and even depression. The constant monitoring, insulin management, dietary restrictions, and fear of complications can affect emotional well-being. In this blog, we’ll explore the connection between diabetes and mental health, how to recognize the signs of mental health challenges, and strategies for managing both your diabetes and emotional health effectively.

1. The Diabetes-Mental Health Connection

Living with diabetes, whether Type 1 or Type 2, presents unique challenges. The demands of managing the disease daily—such as blood sugar monitoring, insulin injections, meal planning, and exercise—can create a mental burden. Over time, this can contribute to mental health issues.

Stress: The pressure of managing a chronic disease can lead to constant worry and stress, particularly around controlling blood sugar levels and avoiding complications.

Anxiety: People with diabetes may experience anxiety about their health or the future, especially if their blood sugar levels are difficult to control or if they’re dealing with complications.

Depression: Chronic conditions like diabetes can increase the risk of depression. The isolation, fatigue, and uncertainty that can accompany diabetes management are all factors that contribute to feelings of sadness or hopelessness.

Managing both diabetes and mental health requires a holistic approach. By addressing both your physical and emotional health needs, you can improve your overall quality of life.

2. Recognizing the Signs of Mental Health Struggles

Diabetes can impact mental health in various ways. Being aware of the signs of mental health challenges is essential for early intervention. Here are some common signs that may indicate emotional or mental health difficulties:

A. Symptoms of Anxiety

Excessive worry about blood sugar levels, complications, or future health.

Panic attacks or overwhelming feelings of fear, especially in response to hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).

Difficulty concentrating or focusing due to constant anxiety about health.

B. Symptoms of Depression

Persistent sadness, hopelessness, or feeling “down.”

Loss of interest in activities once enjoyed, such as exercising or socializing.

Fatigue, trouble sleeping, or feeling constantly drained despite adequate rest.

Difficulty managing diabetes due to a lack of motivation or energy.

C. Diabetes Burnout

Emotional exhaustion or burnout from constantly managing diabetes.

A feeling of frustration, helplessness, or a lack of control over one’s condition.

Neglecting to check blood sugar levels or take insulin because of overwhelming stress.

If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, it’s important to seek help from a healthcare provider. Early intervention can make a significant difference in improving both mental and physical health.

3. How Diabetes Impacts Mental Health

Living with diabetes can affect your mental health in several ways:

A. Constant Monitoring and Stress

The need to constantly monitor blood sugar levels, insulin, and food intake can create stress. This ongoing vigilance can feel exhausting, especially if blood sugar levels are unstable or difficult to control.

B. Fear of Complications

Diabetes increases the risk of long-term complications, including heart disease, kidney problems, and vision issues. This fear of complications can be anxiety-provoking, especially when it feels like there’s no immediate end to managing the disease.

C. Social Isolation

Sometimes, people with diabetes may feel isolated or different from others, especially if they need to make dietary changes or follow specific routines that others may not understand. This can lead to feelings of loneliness or depression.

D. Impact of Medication and Treatment

Certain medications or treatment plans may have side effects that can affect mood and mental health. Additionally, the adjustment to insulin therapy, pumps, or continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) can be overwhelming, especially when the technology doesn’t work as expected.

4. Managing Both Diabetes and Mental Health

Caring for both your mental and physical health is essential for overall well-being. Here are some strategies to help manage diabetes while also taking care of your emotional health:

A. Build a Support System

Having a support network is vital when managing diabetes. Connect with others who understand what you're going through, whether that’s through diabetes support groups or talking to friends and family. A strong support system can help alleviate feelings of isolation and provide encouragement.

B. Focus on Self-Care and Stress Management

Managing stress is essential for both diabetes and mental health. Practice relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga, to reduce stress and improve emotional well-being. Taking time for yourself each day can help recharge your mental and emotional batteries.

C. Seek Professional Help

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or anxious, consider speaking with a therapist or counselor who specializes in chronic illness or diabetes. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a common and effective approach for addressing the emotional challenges associated with chronic conditions.

D. Mindful Diabetes Management

Instead of focusing solely on the numbers (like blood sugar levels), try to approach diabetes management with a sense of mindfulness. Focus on the present moment and take small steps to improve your health without getting bogged down by perfectionism. This can reduce the pressure and stress associated with managing your diabetes.

E. Healthy Lifestyle Choices

Exercise: Physical activity is not only good for your blood sugar levels but also for mental health. Exercise releases endorphins, which can improve mood and reduce stress and anxiety.

Balanced Diet: Eating a nutritious diet helps regulate blood sugar and can have a positive impact on mental well-being. Avoiding highly processed foods, sugar highs and lows, and consuming regular meals can prevent energy dips and mood swings.

Sleep: Poor sleep can affect both blood sugar control and emotional health. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night to promote better mood and blood sugar regulation.

5. Managing Diabetes Burnout

Diabetes burnout is real. It occurs when the constant pressure of managing your condition becomes overwhelming. If you’re experiencing burnout, here are a few strategies to help:

A. Take Breaks

Allow yourself time away from the constant demands of diabetes management. It’s okay to take breaks from checking your blood sugar or focusing solely on food choices. Giving yourself permission to step back can help you regain a sense of control and reduce burnout.

B. Set Realistic Goals

Rather than aiming for perfection, set achievable, realistic goals for managing your diabetes. Celebrate small victories, such as better blood sugar control or making healthier choices, without overloading yourself with unattainable expectations.

C. Talk About It

Sometimes, just talking about how you feel can provide relief. Whether it’s discussing your struggles with a healthcare provider, a friend, or a fellow person with diabetes, sharing your feelings can help lighten the emotional load.

6. When to Seek Professional Help

While managing your diabetes and mental health is an ongoing process, there are times when professional help is necessary. Seek help if:

You’re experiencing persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or anxiety.

Your emotional well-being is affecting your ability to manage diabetes.

You’re having trouble coping with the emotional demands of diabetes management.

You’re experiencing significant physical or emotional symptoms that you can’t manage on your own.

Your healthcare team, including a mental health professional, can help you develop a comprehensive plan that supports both your diabetes and mental health.

Conclusion: Prioritize Both Your Body and Mind

Diabetes is a challenging condition that impacts both physical and mental health. By recognizing the connection between the two, you can take steps to care for your emotional well-being while managing your blood sugar. Whether it's through therapy, stress management, exercise, or building a strong support system, it’s essential to take care of both your body and mind.

If you're struggling, remember that it's okay to ask for help. You don't have to go through it alone—there are resources and support systems available to help you live your best life with diabetes.

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.

⚡ 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]

(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.

*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

[oceanlandworld]

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.

Hey, Angel!

Do you want to be small and dainty, like a porcelain doll or a fairy made of crystal? Then work for it. Restrict, exercise, anything and everything you can do to get closer to your goal weight and your dream body.

Every time you think you’re going to binge, drink some water. Scroll through thinspo. Do a vigorous workout. Leave the house. Anything to stop you from sabotaging your efforts to lose weight.

Don’t let your stomach trick you into thinking you really need that food. You already know what it tastes like, and it will only make you fat. So stop eating and enjoy the feeling of slowly getting skinnier.

Pain is only temporary. Beauty is forever. How badly do you really want this?

Don’t allow your stomach to gain control over you. Its rumbling is merely applause at your efforts. After twelve hours, it will do you the favor of feeding off of your fat; you should help it by exercising too. Most importantly, you CANNOT give in to cravings that often lead to a binge and leave you feeling awful.

Who’s in control? You and me together or your stomach?

This will only seem hard until you start seeing results. Morning skinny is skinnier. Your stomach distends less during the day, even if you eat. Cravings are more manageable. A tiny gap starts to appear between your thighs. You don’t have to push down as hard to feel your bones.

It’s only hard until you are able to see what you’ve accomplished. But if you give up, that will never happen. So don’t allow yourself to grow lax. Triumph over your fat; it is your most pressing problem and your worst enemy.

Don’t avoid fasting simply because you think you’re too weak. After months of good, hard restricting, you’re strong enough to handle it.

Every time you dare to think about eating, imagine every food in the fridge and the pantry as a giant ball of fat. Then you’ll think twice about putting all of those nasty calories into your body.

Binged? That’s okay. Just start exercising and burning calories like your life depends on it, because it does.

You know you’re gonna regret the calories you put into your stomach….so why eat in the first place? Just replace that food you were going to eat with a glass of water! The less you eat, the better results you’ll see on the scale tomorrow. You can do this; I believe in you! 💙

Don’t eat. Nobody’s making you except yourself. And why would you make yourself do something you don’t want to?

You want to be thin, don’t you? Then let me in, love. I’ll help you lose the weight.

Xoxo, water, tea, and me

Don’t give up if you don’t seem to be getting anywhere. This takes time. Besides, won’t you regret it if you’re not any thinner in two months?

It’s not that you can’t do this, it’s that you won’t. You refuse to fast and hardly restrict, then wonder why you’re fat. If you want this, you have to work for it.

Eventually, you will get to the point where you crave water instead of food. Once you’re there, everything will get so much easier.

Water and is so much better than food. So drink up, lovely.

Just tell yourself one more. One more hour of fasting. One more exercise. One more glass of water. One more walk around the block. It’s only one more day; repeat, repeat, keep repeating, and those “one day"s will pass in no time.

Don’t let your family force you to eat. Avoid the house. Make excuses. Feign illness. Even chew and spit at the table if you have to. What’s important is just that the food never makes it to your stomach. So do anything to prevent that from happening.

Why are you eating again? Don’t you want to be thin and beautiful? So dainty and elegant?

That feeling of crippling hunger and a horribly empty stomach? That’s just your body preparing to get rid of all of that hideous fat it’s carrying around.

The less you eat, the smaller your stomach gets. The smaller your stomach gets, the less you’ll want to or even be able to eat. So skip that snack and have some water for dinner. It’ll be worth it in the long run.

Just think of how beautiful you’ll be. How easily everyone will be able to lift you. How you’ll slip into a size 0 and it’ll be way too big. How you’ll take your cheat day to eat and eat and nobody will give you judgmental sidelong glances. Stop eating, start fasting, and one day that’ll be you.

Don’t give up just because you’re not losing weight as fast as you’d like. Keep restricting, keep fasting, keep going, and the fat will come off eventually.

If you need tangible motivation, buy cute clothes that are a size too small. Try them on at least once a week. See any difference? If you keep going, you’ll be able to fit into them soon.

Repeat after me: I do NOT need food. So I will NOT eat, and I WILL lose weight.

Even if it doesn’t feel like you’re actually restricting, you probably are. Skipping a meal is restricting. Saying no to a snack is restricting. Swapping candy for veggies is restricting. Having water for dinner is restricting. So don’t worry about what exactly you’re doing; even the smallest steps will get you there eventually.

Don’t listen to your friends and family, who claim you need to constantly eat. Pay no attention to your stomach, with its horrid begs for high-calories sweets. Listen only to me, and I will lead the way to weight loss.

Being skinny and sad is better than being fat and sad.

The longer you go without eating, the more time your body spends burning fat. So take it as long as you can, without going over 72 hours. That way you’ll be maximizing your weight loss without any effort at all.

If you forget to exercise, if you’re feeling sick and accidentally binge, if you go over your limit without realizing, it’s okay. Just pick yourself up and start again. Remember, it’s never too late to get back on track.

Every time you binge, you are destroying a week’s worth of progress, only to feel nothing but sadness and guilt afterwards. So don’t eat, get closer to your goal weight, and be happy.

Don’t let your family scare you into eating or going on a binge. If you do, you’re only allowing them to stop you from reaching your goal.

One day you will fall in love with the idea of not eating.

Once you start restricting, it will become second nature. Your calorie intake of 800 will seem like normal eating instead of restricting, and because of that logic, you’ll lower your intake even more. So don’t go all in if you can’t; start small, and just keep going from there.

Losing weight is the thing you want the most, right? Your utmost desire, your first priority. So make sure it stays that way. Pay attention to calories. Calculate how many are in the food you ate and how many you burned while working out. Take the stairs instead of the elevator. Fast whenever you feel like it, especially after a binge. Drink tons and tons of water. Fidget. Find excuses to move. Take progress pictures of your body and your scale, and reward yourself with thinspo and shopping when you’ve done well.

Do anything, anything at all, that will make you want to continue losing weight, that will help you do so

Remember, the first part of your body to get fat will be the last part to get thin again. Chances are it’s your stomach. So don’t stop just because you see your collarbones coming out, or your thigh gap slowly widening. Don’t binge after you’ve worked so hard to lose. Keep going and you’ll reach your goal weight even faster.

You’re not hungry. Hunger is merely an illusion created by your stomach, a lie that will destroy you if you listen. Ignore it. Losing weight is more important.

This will only be difficult until you start seeing results. Keep going until then, and once you can actually see your body getting thinner, you won’t ever want to stop.

Wear a belt at all times. Tighten it as much as physically possible. That way, you’re squishing your stomach and making yourself less likely to be hungry all the time.

Every time you refuse a snack, leave an extra bite uneaten, or skip a meal, you’re teaching your stomach restraint and getting that much closer to your goal weight.

Once you’re thin, you’ll be so small and beautiful. Don’t sacrifice your perfect body simply because you want that food. Don’t you want to be thin?

Every time you even think about eating something with a high amount of calories, touch all the places on your body that are too fat. You don’t want them to get worse, do you?

If you accidentally end up bingeing a lot, don’t stress out. Most of the weight you will gain is from food or water and isn’t going to stay permanently.

Don’t end your fast early. Your body only starts to burn fat after 12 hours. So if you eat something after 7, those 7 hours of not eating will be absolutely useless. Besides, it only gets easier after the first 12 hours. So stick with it and you’ll actually get somewhere

Once you’re thin, you’ll be even more amazing than you are now. With or without makeup, you’ll be as pretty and glowing as a celebrity or an idol. Whether you choose to dress like you’re going to be on TV or like you’re going to stay home all day, you’ll look fabulous. No matter how much you eat, you won’t get judgmental looks from the people you’re eating with. So just skip another meal, do another ten minutes of exercise, drink another glass of water, and you’ll be that much closer to perfection.

The food you eat when you’re alone still becomes visible to others once you’ve gained fat from it. So don’t snack, don’t binge, don’t eat unless you absolutely have to. Otherwise your efforts will be in vain.

Food and skinny cannot coexist on your body. So hurry up and decide which one you would rather have.

If you’re just starting out, don’t go too crazy on the restricting. Take it little by little, and your body will start to adjust. Remember, you want to be skinny, not dead, so do this one step at a time.

Every time you skip a meal or resist the urge to binge, put a dollar in a jar. Use that money to buy a reward; if you have enough to spend on something good, that means you’ve been hard at work.

Don’t listen to your stomach, lovely. It’s only trying to sabotage you with its constant pleas for food. Instead, pay attention to me, follow my rules. I’m the one who’s going to help you get to your goal weight, not your stomach.

It takes twelve hours for the body to start feeding off of its own fat. Don’t compromise that by eating constantly and preventing this from happening. Instead, set aside certain times for eating, and try to leave 12 or more hours between them. This will maximize the amount of weight you lose at a time instead of getting you stuck in a hellish cycle of losing and gaining.

Why are you stopping yourself? Why are you preventing yourself from reaching your goal weight? STOP IT. Put down the damn food, stop ingesting all those extra calories. You don’t need them at all. Your body has enough fat on it to keep you alive for days. Get up and exercise. Run around the neighborhood. Put on music and do crunches and push-ups and jumping jacks until you can’t breathe. Hide all of your candy, and replace it in your stomach with water. These things are all so simple, so why aren’t you doing them?

Food is NOT a reward, something positive, or anything to be proud of. In fact, it’s exactly what made you fat in the first place. Fried foods, snacks, and sweets are unhealthy, full of calories, and extremely fattening. They deserve absolutely no place inside your beautiful body.

Light as a feather is what you want to be. But right now, you’re like a rock: heavy and blocky. You don’t have to stay that way, though. You’re in control of how your body looks. If you don’t like it, do something about it.

Why haven’t you lost enough weight yet? Oh, I see. You’re busy bingeing, giving in to cravings, making excuses, saying you’ll burn off the calories later but never actually doing it.

Why haven’t you lost enough weight yet? Oh, I see. You’re afraid your parents will catch you, even though you’re not even restricting in the first place.

Why haven’t you lost enough weight yet? Oh, I see. It’s too much work, you’re hungry, everything hurts, you’re dizzy, and you’re ignoring the fact that pain is only temporary.

Why haven’t you lost enough weight yet? It’s because you continue to stop yourself, over and over again.

Weigh yourself first thing in the morning, then right before bed. Compare the two numbers. The second one’s higher, right? It shouldn’t be. They should be within half a pound of each other at most, less if you’re fasting.

Subtract the two numbers, then look at what you have left. That’s the weight of all the food and water you’ve put in your body. Water weight’s okay. However, if some or most of that number is made up of food, eat less.

Don’t eat until you’re full. EVER. Eat merely until you’re comfortable, a little less than that if you can. Leave yourself hungry enough that you can feel the pit in your stomach and you feel as if you could eat an entire second meal.

That second meal won’t consist of food; instead, your stomach will be munching on your fat. Leave it hungry enough that it can eat.

Whenever you want to binge, distract yourself by thinking of all the super cute clothes you’re going to wear once you reach your ugw. Then, drag your hands over all of that disgusting fat on your body and remind yourself that one day, it’ll all be gone.

The closer you get to your goal weight, the easier this will get. Once you start seeing visible results, everything you do makes you feel cleansed, as if the pounds are literally falling off. Every binge-free day, every rep of any exercise, every stretch, every fast will bring you a feeling of happy euphoria and remind you that your body’s on your way to perfection. Don’t worry about how far you have to go, because once you start seeing your hard work pay off, the distance between you and the end suddenly shrinks.
