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

ReplyDeleteIt's true, I am putting pressure on myself to be positive
'Fake it 'til you make it' as they say
But you're right I am struggling
But I know that you and the girls here are there for me and I am blessed to have you

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.
ReplyDeleteIt helps me Emily, to personify my illness, I think a lot of us do x
DeleteI'm so bad at commenting, so i'm sorry. But I read every post.
ReplyDeleteI know that you are struggling too. But you aren't alone. We can get through this day. Whether you are on the path of recovery, or if you have yet to find that path yet. We can get through this. Xx Love you Ruby!
Thanks Camille, love you too x

I do, thank you

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
ReplyDeleteThanks sweetie
ReplyDeleteYes I think that we definitely need a Christmas survival kit at this time of year
I am trying to take my own advice, trying hard
Hope you are well x
This. Right back to you. Times a billion.
ReplyDelete*Huggles*
Hugs to you too dear Peri x
DeleteP.S.
Delete*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
P.P.S
DeleteAlso: 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!
<3
This post was so uplifting (and needed!) you're such a great presence on blogger, Ruby. Thank you for all your kind words and for always being real.
ReplyDeleteThank you Clytie, you are so lovely x
DeleteYou are so sweet to your followers ^^ Thank you so much for that <3
ReplyDeleteI'm only doing what they do for me, showing love x
DeleteI think you should start a greeting card business, you are so talented at writing wonderful lyrical phrases.
ReplyDeleteHa Ha! Now there's an idea......... x
