Christmas First Aid Kit!



Christmas is fast approaching






I know a lot of us will struggle at this time of year
So it's important that we stick together over the next few weeks



 Be there for another



Support each other



We know exactly what each other is going though

We know how to help

We know what to say

Because we going through it too

We may be miles and oceans apart



But we are all connected through the common thread of our illness








So if you are dreading this Christmas know that you are not alone



We are all here for you

Remember to be kind to yourself




Remember to be gentle with yourself

Remember that you are strong

That you can get through it



Remember that you can eat and not feel guilty

You can enjoy yourself and not feel self conscious



You can live life on your terms



You can live without anorexia or bulimia

In fact life will be better

Remember that you are strong



Stronger than the demons that plague you

They will get tired some day and give up



On Christmas day remember not to put pressure in yourself

To just do what you feel comfortable with

Remember it is just another day

And it's only 24 hours

We can do anything for 24 hours

Remember that you are precious

That there is only one of you

You can never be replaced

You are unique



Remember that you can do anything

Anything you set your mind to

We won't be beaten by our demons

We are stronger than them

You deserve to be happy

To be well

To live the life you've always dreamed of





Remember that you are loved

  6. I kind of like that metaphor about the demons of our disease. It might help to imagine getting rid of these creatures or them just going away.

  11. Aaaaw Ruby. You're great. I like the new writing style (if it's new..) with the pictures and all. And the blog layout is cool. I love the idea of a christmas care package. I thought of maybe sending something to Ireland, who knows. I hope you're doing well and remembering your own advice. If you start getting anxious or nervous about food or holidays, go listen to some Lana and breathe. I was freaking out at a party last night and there were so many people, but I just breathed and got through it some how. <3

    1. P.S.

      *Hugs again*

      Pets are the greatest, aren't they? I swear if it wasn't for Dralion and Ink before here I wouldn't be here today.

      Thank you for the amazing words on my writing. They really help. You and Mich have bashed the panic monster on the head! Two Badass Twin Harley Quinns :D

      You have really good taste in music! Do you like garage rock? I think you'd love Tadpole.

      I'm so stoaked that you're coming to the Southern Hemisphere! Keep an eye on the weather forecasts for Sydney so you kinda know what to expect when you get there. Damn I wish I could come hang out with you guys! GAH. Fucking Tasman Sea in the way D:

      Sending you a ton of love. You're amazing <3

    2. P.P.S

      Also: I prefer cold to warm. You can always put more layers on when it's cold, but on hot days once you get down to your skin you're pretty much fucked unless you have a tub of ice handy!
