⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ So, its #eatingdiso

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️

So, its #eatingdisorderawarenessweek and I wanted to share this picture. It's me, side by side either end of Eating Disorder.

The first image is from around 5/6 years ago. I was borerline anorexic and yet the worrying part is that I thought I was fat. I thought I needed to lose weight to be seen as 'beautiful', 'pretty' and accepted. I was always the 'cute geeky' one yet I wanted to feel beautiful and worthy. My walls were destroyed by people. I was victim to self loathing caused by years of bullying. The one control I had was food. I deprived myself of what my body needed to satisfy my mind that was warped by societal pressure. Google became my companion. I learnt how to lose weight but not healthily. It was a vicious and destructive cycle.

I then found someone who loved me and started helping me rebuild my walls mentally and physically. I met people who loved me for me. I slowly started putting on weight. It was a slow process of acceptance, downfalls, hatred, anger, crying and then laughing. I learnt to love my body. I learnt to laugh at my body too. Here I am now, the heaviest I've ever been. I still struggle with my weight. I have days where the mirror says some pretty horrible things. I have days where I fall out with my reflection, but I know is, I'm alive. I'm healthy and I live to see another day.

I am here to show you that you're beautiful and it's ok to take recovery one step at a time. It's hard. It's a bitch but it's possible for anyone. Be gentle with yourself. We live in a really difficult, pressurising society. The feelings of self doubt and unworthiness are strong, but guess what? You are fucking stronger! 💪🖤

⚠️Trigger Warning ⚠️ It's #NationalSelfIn

⚠️Trigger Warning ⚠️

It's #NationalSelfInjuryDay and after sharing my story earlier, here are some tips from me (an expert by experience) for those struggling with self injury/self harm.

So on the imaging here are the tips:

* Find a productive outlet like exercise, drawing, writing, gaming, illustrating, reading, talking etc.

* Move your body. Wriggle your toes, shake your legs, stretch your fingers and make movement with your limbs. Shake out excess energy

* Scream, shout or sing loudly and expressively

* Write down how you feel or speak out loud how you're feeling. Do not bottle it up

Instead of self harm:

* Pluck your leg or arm hairs. This may seem bizarre but if you're active with self harm, start small. (I am not encouraging self harm)

* Use a rubber band on your wrist to lightly flick it during anxiety inducing times

* Meditate if you can find a calming state

* Stretch your body and really feel the stretch

* Brush your hair and try different styles or paint your nails. Keep your hands and arms busy

Please take care and talk to someone if you're struggling. You got this. Take each day at a time. You're strong. You are not weak.

*TRIGGER WARNING* So today is #NationalSelfInjury

*TRIGGER WARNING*

So today is #NationalSelfInjuryDay and I wanted to share with you some raw and real content.

I have self harmed. I'm not ashamed. I'm not bothered what preconceived perceptions people have of me when they hear those words. Acceptance is very important with mental ill health and Self harm.

I was going through my hardest times in school, being bullied, having the pressure of achieving because of being an A* student. I was showing signs of mental illness and was later sent to a psychologist and psychiatrist when I had a breakdown at school and my mum found me self harming with various items in my home. Once I was diagnosed with my MI, I had to go back to school which made my health decline hugely. My best friend then died and things just took a turn. I left school. I had to be homeschooled.

Throughout my life I have self harmed. I ripped my hair out when I was 6 and developed Trichotillomania. I used to pull at my teeth, bite my arms and hit things to make my knuckles hurt. I then got older and started to use objects on my arms, stomach and back. It was hard and no one understood. It was something I felt that I was shameful doing. I felt like a failure yet I didn't realise It was a cry out. I needed help and needed that outlet.

I found my hope and outlet. I sang loudly, danced, drew, read books, wrote stories, blogged, walked and found ways to release these negative emotions I let out by harming my skin and body.

Small steps leads to big victories. Remember that.

Take care. You are amazing. My next post will be tips on how to overcome self harm in small ways.

Today has been full of reading about my favoured way of life 'Hygge', lying in the bath, having fresh air in the garden enjoying the sunshine and crying. Yep that's what I said. Crying.

It's been a hard day! And that's ok. I hugged my partner, cried and cried again. Now I'm eating good food, watching films, cosying up with candles, blankets, drink and my fave people. Many Hyggestund's - Moments of Hygge!

Happiness, Lifestyle and all things wonderful.
I always say that the most important thing in life is happiness, therefore that is what I'd like to share.
I'm an honest, kind and happy person who loves sharing my experiences and real stories to help others like me realise they are not alone in this huge world.
I'm a huge supporter of mental health and body positivity and believe we can change the way society is about these topics together.
Just a small girl in a big world trying to be happy!
