Anonymous asked: Part 1 Hi Daniell, I have a very difficult time dealing with comparing myself to other women/girls in the summer. I've been married for 17 years and I'm 37 with two boys. When I'm out with my husband and there are women all around that dress in a showy way and I can tell that he's noticed, I want to die. It's such an awful feeling. I'm attracive, but I don't have...

I'm back! :)
Taking a break
Unfortunately, I need to take a break from blogging and responding to asks for the next few days.
I have a lot of studying to do for upcoming finals and homework I left until the end of the semester that needs to get done, and I. A.M. has been a big distraction. So in order to get everything done on time and be successful in my classes, I need to take some time off :[
I will be back by Thursday...

How do I actually go about accepting myself & loving myself? I just can't figure out how to transform my negative thoughts & feelings about myself into positive ones. (P.S. I think what you do with this blog is...

Anonymous asked: I have very little friends. Social anxiety keeps me from making new ones. I am depressed, have been for a long time. I get expelled from university, I am unemployed and I live off my relatives. I take pills and I no longer want to kill myself. But I wanted to, in January and in March. I told my best friends about it, hoping they would help me. Instead they just stopped talking to me completely. I...

Anonymous asked: (part 1) I know you mentioned being overwhelmed by all the "asks" and I hate to add to it. I'm just wondering your opinion on something. I've never been diagnosed with an eating disorder. I don't purge and my "restricting" or "dieting" still falls within a range I don't think is unhealthy.(My counselor told me I should not eat *less* than I am now....

Anonymous asked: Thank you for your encouraging posts and words. I have recently graduated college and have had to temporarily move back home. While I know this is just a transition period, I feel as though I am quickly slipping into old habits such as restricting, other various forms of self harm, just wanting to sleep all day, and some suicidal thoughts. I currently see a therapist and a psychiatrist and am on a...

I need Feminism... →
whoneedsfeminism:
I need feminism because the term ‘beautiful’ is now a compliment on the same level as ‘smart’ or independent. I don’t want people to cheer me up by telling me that I look good, I want to be complimented on worthwhile skills that I truly excel at and posses.
I need feminism because society has made it that women as a general population look down upon their looks and therefore...

Anonymous asked: I feel like it's okay for me to not eat anything, but it's not good when others do it. I don't like to think of not eating as a disease...I suppose I'm just in a denial phase, but I can't really get myself to face whatever it is that I have. This is really difficult to explain, but I sure you understand, that I feel that what I'm doing to myself is okay, yet at the...
