Sadly, both of these 'people' are well known by too many - as Ana and Mia. The left is "Mia", the right is "Ana" - for the two demons, Bulimia and Anorexia, that people with eating disorders face. Self harm and suicidal ideation and attempts are frequent. I've had patients that were peeling their skin off because they had minor blemishes, yet didn't look twice at all the cutting scars on their arms.
If our schools taught classes in life management and coping skills instead of climate and race theory, half of our mentally ill would be able to lead normal lives. The American Dream isn't just about jobs and housing. People can turn their lives around for the better.
Happiness isn't a pie that we all have to divide into tiny pieces. It is a door at the top of many steps. We have to learn to climb those steps, but like learning to walk, we can accomplish it. If someone needs a ramp or an elevator to get to that door of happiness, therapy, self-help books, friends, family and God can give them the boost they need. Drugs and eating disorders won't get people to the door to happiness, they are just a trampoline where people get a brief glimpse before dropping back into depression.

Hey man, I’m writing a book literally designed to fix just that. I’ve noticed that everything I’ve read about life management is outdated these days due to the rapid rate that things are changing, plus no one wants to read books at all, let alone by old people. But I figured I’m still in my 20s, I’ve dealt with issues like that as a kid, I used to tear my face apart at pimples and try and prematurely pop them. I did shitty in school. Fucked around a lot. Been arrested twice and somehow managed to turn it all around and now I’m an executive at a pretty big medical office and run the lab as well. Anyways I’ve always followed a bunch of little rules I developed throughout life that helped me succeed no matter what (like you said. It’s not all about real restate and money) life thru at me. Finally started writing them down a couple weeks ago and I have about 50 Word pages already. Be happy to send you some of it if you think it’d help your patients in any way. Plus I’d love some professional feedback on it if that’s not too much to ask lol
Edit. Oh and the only reason I mentioned my background was cause I’ve been thru a lot of shit and I had no one to help me ever, but I managed to figure it out on my own. I figure maybe some of these people can relate to the shit I’ve been thru and be more inclined to check out what I have to say since I’ve been there done that
Books are great. They can be used by patients who aren't allowed access to electronic devices (they get into arguments with or abused by people they know that drive them into further mental decline).
I'd be happy to look it over, once you think it's close to being done. Sometimes feedback to early in the writing process disrupts the natural flow of ideas. No book will be perfect for all people, but your unique approach might hit home with people in a way that other writers haven't.
heh, sounds familiar. Been there, and what helped me was to stop caring what others think and pursue meaningful self-improvement (learn a skill, gain knowledge). I'm interested in the rules you've developed, and it sounds like you are doing better now!
Man, Jesus acutally warned in the sermon on the mount that don't fast like the hypocrites who disfigure themselves with sad faces to be seen by men (Matt 6:16). I never would have thought that this verse in particular is so relevent today regarding bulimia and anorexia.
Ever see kittens eat? They'll eat from their own bowls except one bastard who runs to everyone's bowls to steal food they haven't gotten to yet. Bad kitty!
Whatever the original picture was intended for, its gonna give me nightmares for days
Probably "both of these are beautiful"
When in reality they both have mental illness.

Well written. Thank you, pede.
I’m not sure if this should be in my informative or art folder...

God is truth. God is light.
Excellent analysis, and a wonderful glimpse of truth. Thank you.
The one on the left is the want-to-be communist subject.
The one on the right is the actual communist subject.
Right... I'm saying what the original picture is probably actually from.
I think he’s making a joke and doubling down on that was the original intent.
And are not beautiful.
This is what happens when 2 cats have to share one bowl.
Can confirm. Actually even with two bowls one is a pig and eats from both and the other one doesn't fight back.
Ever see kittens eat? They'll eat from their own bowls except one bastard who runs to everyone's bowls to steal food they haven't gotten to yet. Bad kitty!
This is the exact plot of a video called Two girls one cup.
😳
Why couldn't they just get another cup‽‽‽‽‽
Imagine them as zombies and just wonder which you would rather have chasing you?
The skinny one is probably faster as a zombie but the big one will knock you over quicker.
A fast walk and fat zombie would be a block behind you in no time.
All women are beautiful something something feminism
I think beautiful is anti-feminism these days.
Same here. Dont know dont care. Its horrifying.
