I M Anorexic But I M Also Fat

That’s what I aspired to be like throughout my teens and early 20s. My vision of the ideal female body has never progressed past Kate Moss and Winona Ryder, who were both very thin, and the societal definition of attractiveness when I was that same age. I maintained my weight of 92 pounds by eating 3 meals of only breakfast cereal a day (and smoking lots of cigarettes.)

I M Not Mad At You I M Mad At How You Handled The Situation

I’m not sure about anyone else, but for me, 2022 has been quite the year. I’ve been happy, devastated, heartbroken, and so many other emotions. I feel that this year forced me to mature as a person in ways I never thought that I’d expect. I moved away from toxic places that were no longer serving me and had to let go of some people — some I never thought that I’d ever let go of, and this opened my eyes the most....

I Used To Be Terrified Of The Baggage I Would Bring To Relationships

When I became old enough to start dating, my biggest fear was what guys would think if they knew the “baggage” I had from growing up. Of course, we all have some sort of “family problem” or “unbelievable” (but still believable) experience that has happened to us. But bringing trauma to the dating scene — whether it’s current or from the past — takes a whole new approach.

I Was Raised In A Country Without Legal Abortion You Don T Want To Experience It

It was 2012 and the 20th anniversary of a landmark Supreme Court case that should have altered Ireland’s legislation around abortion but didn’t. I remember my mother solemnly explaining the case to me as a documentary aired on TV. In 1992, a 14-year-old girl informed her parents that she was suicidal due to being pregnant as a result of rape. A family friend in his 40s had been sexually abusing her for two years....

It Took Losing Someone I Love For Me To Finally See Alcohol For What It Is

“Meg, do you have a minute to talk?” “Ya, let me make sure Scott can cover the kids. What’s up?” “We got the autopsy. She died of a toxic consumption of alcohol.” “What does that mean?” “It means her blood alcohol volume was 4.0 and she probably asphyxiated.” The world shut down on March 13th, 2020, which made sense.
