Rants W Arcane | Pt. 2

Rants w Arcane | pt. 2

I know this isn't my usual content, my I just wanted to get it off my chest. Maybe it brings some comfort to ppl in similar situations.

My education is very important to me. My main form of validation is academic, and while I wasn't a top student in high school, I was happy I graduated and found it a flex that I finished high school in a different country, in a different language. Now I'm an university that ranks top worldwide. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but I had failed all my exams in january. Looking back, my study methods were just really not right and that's why I didn't do well. It obviously took a toll on how I viewed myself. Thus, the past semester, I've been in a constant toxic cycle of putting particularly high expecations of what I should do/what I should achieve by overworking myself, attending all my classes and student society (already 9 hours in a day) and studying an extra 4 hours in between and working out whenever I could. On top of that, I had fueled my £d as much as I could, pushing myself to get worse.

Dealing with the pressure of school, an £d, a relationship and going home every weekend where my relationship with my parents isn't the best obviously took its toll on me. After about 4 to 5 months of that, it seems like my brain finally is giving up. My anxiety is getting bad again and I might need meds again, if I don't get better. I don't want to bother people with it, but it is also something I cannot just keep hidden. I hope that things will get better soon and I should take better care of myself.

For anyone else in a similar situation, know you're not alone and you deserve to take care of yourself. It's ok to step on your pride and do things that'll help you feel better.

It felt so good a while ago when I went to class and was talking tow friend of mine (WAY skinnier than me) and tell her I didn't eat anything that day, after she was rambling abt how much she ate. She was yapping abt how she had some side effect of meds and how she already had like 2 meals and snacks and still felt hungry, and I was like "oh I didn't have anything today."

She was so shocked, but I felt so good. Like yeah I'm bigger than you and still have a better discipline.

this!!! I often compare myself to others and can't hepl but get caught up in certain things i see online or w my friends. I still gotta remember that this is my journey and issue to deal with, and that the way someone else functions shouldn't decide mine

hey babes just wanted to say that you aren’t in a competition, actually you have an eating disorder which is a mental illness which is hard and sad and dangerous, and to maybe remember that and be kind to yourself even when you feel like you are failing at it okay because it’s not something you fail at and binging is just another symptom of your disordered relationship to food

Convos w Arcane | Part 1

On my previous account, I once mentioned how my bf kept bringing up calories. He knew I was dealing with ana, so whenever we were gonna order dinner or whatever, he'd be like "oh, maybe not that food, I know you don't like too many calories." And stuff.

While I understand that he's autistic and might miss the cue of not bringing it up (and the fact that he said he wants to eat healthier), it still bothered me.

Ppl were rather upset in the comment section, saying I should "pick a side" seeing how "I have an £d but don't like it when my bf is enabling me." And how that person would love it to have a bf like that. My thing, however, is the following. I don't mind talking abt it, esp if you want to understand me/£ds better. However, I'd rather not hear from ppl (esp close to me) being up calories and all that when we go eat. I already think abt it constantly and it gets worse when I have to have a bigger meal w ppl, so I'd rather not hear it extra externally. It's genuinely exhausting as is.

"oh the thing that's on your mind non stop on your mind and affects so many parts of your life and the way you function? Reminder that it exists. :)"

Not to sound like a pick me but I don't like ppl I know irl reminding me of an e.d. only my boyfriend and best friend know abt it and while my friend doesn't really mention it, my boyfriend used to. He'd bring up calories and shit when picking what to have for dinner and it's just like, shut up?? I already obsess over it and it's genuinely draining me, it's not a quirky thing to lose weight and be healthy. Don't remind me even more.
