4weeks ago I learned I’d had a stroke. Please learn the signs of a stroke. I have included the post I’ve linked. You are never too young. https://t.co/rJeGTiUhrB
@madewell, “size inclusive” also means having clothes in your store that I can try on since you don’t except returns on most sale items online. If you say you are size inclusive, show that plus size individuals are welcome in your store. Today, I wasn’t. Do better.
The vulnerability of walking into a store not knowing if any of the clothes will fit because you are plus size. Only getting to try on 4 items (2 only because I’m close-ish to “normal” sizes) out of the whole store is not a good experience. Tears happened.
Here’s a seasonal reminder that weight loss is not always good, even for fat people.
A quick tip for how to comment on other peoples bodies is to not do it.
Keep all your thoughts about the physical appearance of others out of your mouth and have a happy holidays!
Maybe one day I might become ready to talk about what the past few months were like, but for now it was the fight for my life and jumping back into “normal” life is really scary.
I had to take FMLA a couple months ago due to deepening depression. I became non-functional. Treatments that had worked in the past stopped and time had to be spent finding and completing other options. I go back Monday and have LOTS of anxiety. Please send light and love.
My mental health has been suffering for an extended time and I feel like I’m stuck in the fight for my life. But really, I’m very tired of fighting. Any spare amount of love or encouragement you have to give would be appreciated.
Trying this again because I’m a little desperate.

I often don’t have an appetite, but logically know I need to eat. Even warming up food feels like too big of a task sometimes. This would be how someone could care for me.
How to support a friend experiencing severe depression: gift cards for meal delivery service or their favorite restaurants that have to-go.
If you ask what your friend needs and they respond with “nothing” or “I don’t know.” This is a simple answer to your own question.
This week I’ve admitted that I am not a machine. That I’m not all powerful. That I’m not okay. I’ve filed for FMLA/short-term disability due to my staggeringly poor mental health. This week I’m pushing against the stigma that mental health challenges are different than physical.
I’m not sure what the next few weeks will hold but I’m working to accept that I am worth taking care of even if it means giving up some responsibilities.
