why does everyone make those relateable posts about depression meals and list stuff like, half a potato chip and forgetting eat but no one ever talks about the other half of people who overeat from depression? no one talks about gouging yourself with food the second you feel bad because somehow youre convinced food will make you feel better but it doesnt so you keep eating until it does? the weight gain? feeling sick from eating so much? eating an entire bag of chips and a whole carton of ice cream in one sitting without knowing it?? feeling even worse because youre making yourself so ill???
why does no one remember this symptom?
Because of fatphobia. Plus it doesn’t fit the “cute sad waif” side of depression that everyone keeps romanticizing.
my room is a complete fucking disaster but goddammit i’m cleaning it today because i am STRONGER than my depression. HEALTHY, CLEAN HEAD SPACE (and living space) IN 2019 GIRLS AND GAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
