Same.

My mom's struggling with an eating disorder at 51 years old.

I don't have the heart to tell her that I know all about her pain.

Thankfully in my family, it's never led to anything like eating disorders, but honestly, almost none of my dad's family are on speaking terms. Funerals and sometimes weddings are the only times they see each other. I know someone who's anorexic, though, and I feel so sorry for her; every time I see her, she looks more like a skeleton. Sad.

I'm not in relapse right now but it could happen any day.

I feel like I just responded to this but it disappeared or I accidentally closed the window??

um

When I'm not in relapse I love my sweets & liquor.

When I'm in relapse I obsess over the way my clavicles and hipbones feel, make sure I'm burning all my calories and more, and everything in my life suddenly becomes something I need to obsessively perfect.

I'm far too apathetic to be either manic or depressive these days, but in the past, yeah.

I'd say I'd prefer that but I'm really not so sure.

going from one extreme to another is really irritating and exhausting but being completely apathetic really sucks, too.

just being sick in the head really sucks and I feel for everyone who struggles with any sort of mental illness.

I can vouch for neither...

Anhedonia and being apathetic sucks just as hard as hopping back and forth from happyfuntimes to imgonnamurdereverylastoneofyoutimes.

I hate yelp.

Mostly because customers are ****ing stupid. We got a 2-star review today and I recognize the woman's face from her photo. She asked for something simple and complains about it being simple. She only writes negative reviews for food service establishments. Apparently fancy fashionista shops are excluded from her lack of wit, poor judgement, and inability to equate her experiences with what she asks for. Boss ain't trippin, just a stern warning. But seriously, the **** else could I do in that situation? Nothing. Just another spoiled white girl trying to **** up working people's days. Sometimes I wanna tell people to shut their goddamn mouth, get their ass behind the counter, and work a shift here. Just so they have an idea, a glimpse, into how stupid they are.

What's with you and rich people? Sometimes you just sound king of bitter that they're rich.
