is it normal to just- not be okay? like, to not be physically
(and mentally- way more than I'd like) okay?like seriously- all i really eat in a day all together is like, the equivalent of a meal for small child (and according to my doctor, it is suspected that I have/had mild anorexia for about half a year now)
i also haven't really had a consistent sleep schedule, let alone sleep in general (probably 10-15 hours of sleep this week, tops)
and a good chunk of the past 2-3 months, i've really been struggling with my mental health, along with family
kinda took the same route as Insa, with the poem, but i wrote it about a month ago, (i promise i didn't copy her)
SpoilerBe Careful of the Contents Spilled
pouring all the water in the glass, till the glass starts spilling out everywhere
this happens every time she drinks from it
she's fully aware of it, but allows it to keep spilling
wetting her shirt, the floor, and the table
drops on her skin racing to the floor, trying to beat gravity
meanwhile they were in front, watching all of it
wondering why she isn't doing anything to stop it
second-hand embarrassment is what they felt
for the fact that she can't simply drink a glass of water without spilling it all
"what a mess" they thought
nobody wanted to be around that girl
"stupid" and "strange" are words that were used to describe her
because at such an older age, how can she not drink a glass of water?
how can she not control herself?
how does she not think about how uncomfortable it is for others to watch?
she knew what was happening, but continued to let it happen
she watched as everyone judged her, but still kept on going
is it inconsideration or self sabotage?
she wanted to see if they would see past that
but in the end, she never realized that she'd always be defined this wayyou don't have to read it if you don't want to, but yea. that's my update

What a beautiful and deep poem!

Well you're in good company! If you toss a rock in a crowd of sharders you'll hit at least 10 people with mental health struggles, 5 with family problems and 15 with both!
*The numbers here are used as a joke, but you could really hit a few people in a crowd with all these problems
Quoteis it normal to just- not be okay? like, to not be physically
(and mentally- way more than I'd like) okay?Yeah, it is. But you can seek help if you want to. Well what I mean to say is that it is perfectly fine to feel these feelings, but if they're persistent and you want them to change for the better you can seek help.
And we're here for you. We love you how you are <3
I'm always around if you need someone to rant to or talk to. Perhaps a bit too much sometimes.

I'd recommend talking to someone about your problems cause it does sound quite serious (doesn't have to be a professional, just someone you trust) but you know better than me whether that's feasible. anyway, no matter what we're here for you, whether you want to rant about life or talk about silly things I'll listen

I feel so called out
