TW!

i haven’t been taking care of myself lately and i realized today how bad i’ve gotten. i stopped eating three meals a day. i only allow myself to eat a few bites of food a day now because i feel guilty if i eat. as i slowly stopped eating, i started to lose my appetite. (1/5)

i’ve been living off of caffeine. one coffee keeps me full all day. since this has been going on for several months now, my body has adjusted but i feel extreme discomfort throughout the day. i constantly feel like i’m going to pass out and i have a headache 24/7. (2/5)

struggling with depression and my mental health has made me forget about my physical health. i noticed that i was losing weight, but i didn’t mind because i was obsessed with the fact that i was getting skinnier. a month ago, i reached what i weighed in middle school. (3/5)

the last photo was taken today. i continue to struggle, but i have finally recognized what i have been doing to my body. that’s a start. the point of this thread is to tell you that taking care of yourself is important. starving yourself isn’t cute. (4/5)

depression can lead to many other concerns. it makes it hard to prioritize anything, especially health. if you find yourself starting to struggle, don’t wait to fix it. please take care of yourself. (5/5)
