Hi everyone, I could really use some support right now. I’m disabled, neurodivergent, and currently caring for a parent with cancer after losing the other. A while ago, I had to relocate quickly due to a family emergency and had to leave all my belongings in a storage unit out of state.

Living with bulimia feels like being trapped in a cycle of shame and secrecy. The urge to binge and purge takes over, promising control but leaving me empty—physically and emotionally. It’s exhausting, hiding the struggle behind a smile. #BulimiaAwareness

I am very high on the monotropic scale. Focusing on a special interest feels like being lifted and propelled by a jet stream of pleasure. Focusing on basically anything else feels like waiting at the DMV.
