💘 I changed my @ from brokxnsmiles to lanaskittens bc I am no longer 13 so yes it’s-a-me if you were wondering 💘

[l🌙 @lanaskittens]

I can read back my old tweets and acknowledge about how miserable I was and still…I miss looking like that and I can’t stop

[l🌙 @lanaskittens]

yah all I ever do on this acc is occasionally come aback to wax poetic about how much I miss being sick a lot of the time but it’s not socially acceptable to do it anywhere else and I need to get it off my chest

[l🌙 @lanaskittens]

it’s just the only time I felt pretty in my life, and could actually BELIEVE it when people complimented me

[l🌙 @lanaskittens]

every time I see someone who looks like I am fighting not to just burst into tears because I cannot get over this self-hatred I have for my current body even though there’s nothing unhealthy about it

[l🌙 @lanaskittens]

I think I just miss the feeling of embarrassment over simply existing tbh, I miss the sense of freedom and lack of shame I had towards body regardless of how sick and freaky I looked to everyone else, and how much concern that caused the most important people in my life

@RKing7117 thank you for the welcome😁

[l🌙 @lanaskittens]

soo I never thought I would come back to this acc because I was honestly just living on autopilot and had 0 thoughts about anything, anorexia truly ROTTED my brain, but here I am because I need some kind of bloody outlet and I’m at a loss where else to find it💁🏻‍♀️

[l🌙 @lanaskittens]

an anorexia diagnosis it’s like this is some horrible self-destructive goal when 1). I’ve been in treatment for a year now and the diagnosis doesn’t even fit me anymore 2). To lose weight would be beneficial for my mental and physical well-being. But yeah, advice appreciated x

[l🌙 @lanaskittens]

I don’t think anybody would ever tell someone who had gained the amount of weight I had and who felt this uncomfortable in themselves that reducing their daily intake a bit with the goal of getting back into the healthy BMI zone was a bad thing but just bc I started treatment w/
