we're back after an absence. unfortunately my week has kicked off with a full day of completely dying from eating too much food, then my body rejecting food--this is not ideal, obviously. also my internal clock is messed up and i'm way behind on some stuff

What inspired you to eat so much?

unfortunately: an entire childhood (and so far, adulthood) of not consistently eating meals because we're poor. this... does not endear you to good eating habits, and i'm pretty sure what i actually have at this point is a mild eating disorder that's simply undiagnosed

That’s as bummer yo. We grew up poor, but had enough family support that food wasn’t ever a problem thankfully. It did give me a healthy hate of the Injustice system though, and a lot of trauma from state interventions into our lives that expresses itself as fight or flight anxiety when confronted. I hope you’re able to get somewhere you feel safe and secure enough that you no longer feel the need to overeat when food is available in case it isn’t later.
