Tw: discussion of eating disorders/disordered eating +amenorrhea 
          	A little tmi
          	
          	Gotta love how the SAME DAY I finally decided that I probably do have at least minor anorexia and am on the road to amenorrhea, so I should eat more to avoid health problems we get this assignment in health class. Look up the nutrition facts of a fast food/restaurant and find either the highest calorie or highest fat foods, then the lowest. Then we have to put it in a poster with the high calories side being labeled “unhealthy” and low calorie “healthy”. We also had to calculate our calorie intake. I think I’ve done enough nutrition facts stalking and research on my calorie intake for one lifetime. I didn’t expect it to trigger me so much, but my hands started shaking. I wanted to stop recovery but I forced myself to keep going. Not sure how I’ll finish this project though. Part of me wants to fall back into my old habits already.
          	If I pass the time period for amenorrhea I’m going to have to talk to my mom and likely see a doctor and I’m not sure if that’s bad or good.

            I'm just gonna try to read more than 3 or 4 new books. I'm hoping that by the time I finish the 4 I have planned, I might have 2 and 3 of Last Herald Mage, 2 and 3 of Silk & Steel, and Coraline.
            So I guess in a way, my reading plan is to finish 9 books. 11 if I can also get around to finishing Kane Chronicles.

I love my best friend but I hate how she just dismisses me whenever I tell her something important. I know she’s struggling but if I spend my time comforting her and trying to help the least she can do is acknowledge my issues are also important.

@DemigodOfAnime I think I’m gonna talk to her at some point. I don’t mind helping her and have told her to talk anytime I just want some reciprocation.

            *the same way as you are with her
            I sometimes blank out.
            But basically, others may end up stuck carrying her emotional and mental baggage with her not wanting to help support them. So it could be a learning experience for her so she doesn't lose anyone in the future.

            Listen, there HAS to be a point where you put your foot down, not just for yourself, but for anyone else who may one day struggle the same way as her. Tell her how you feel, and if she doesn't like it then show her what the consiquences are of wanting to just keep taking but never give. 
            I'm not saying of ditching her all together. I'm saying tell and show her you're a human with your own issues too, and you only have so much weight your shoulders can handle, and friends don't keep adding loads without at least taking a few.

Took a little break from Wattpad but returned for advice if anyone would like to help. My friend is really struggling with her mental health and I know that but she won’t really open up about it more so I don’t know how bad it’s gotten. How could I start a conversation about it to help her find more professional help? I just care about her so much and want her to be okay.

Can someone give me some advice?
           My friend has been struggling a lot with her mental health and I don’t know what to do. I’ve just tried to be supportive and a listening ear but I’m worried about her. I’m the only person she trusts with her mental health and I’m worried if I tell someone she won’t trust me anymore but she told me she’s struggling to not self harm again and I just want her to be safe. She feels bad about how much she relies on me, but I just want to do more for her. I don’t know if I should tell anyone. Is there anything else I can do?

            Tell her that you have her back, but you can't be a cure. That she needs to tell someone who can get her the help, you'll still be by her side but you just want her to get something to make sure she's a little safer.

How are there people who don’t have any queer friends or even old friends who they later learned were queer? all my childhood friends ended up being queer just like me. Why did we all flock to each other

            Wait, that's normal to happen?
            I know one of my friend's ended up bi but she leaned more towards guys, where as another friend may be bi but I don't know.
