M’y mother believes that people with mental illness are a burden. Thank you mother I will not be seeking help for my eating disorder that causes debilitating depression. Thanks for making me feel like s***. I’m in literal pain and I can’t get help because you won’t take me seriously. Thank you, I will continue exercising religiously even though I already have stress fractures on both my feet from running. Thank you for invalidating me and making me feel like absolute s***. Thank you for not listening to my wishes and centering my birthday around FOOD, the one thing that causes me panic and so much discomfort that you can’t possibly imagine. It’s my f****** BIRTHDAY. Why can’t I feel okay on my birthday, I literally told you I don’t want cake or any other food because frankly, it makes me hate myself so much that you literally can’t imagine and understand.
