Selfie Beach Day☁️

💯

Hi So someone in my family just told me that I gained weight (( as if I didn't already know that and feel super insecure about it 🙄🙄)) and it just ruined my day tbh like my feelings are hurt and I'm mad af bc I feel fat and having it pointed out was completely unnecessary and ironically my weight gain was pointed by someone who's damn near 300 pounds. I hate people and my family really ain't shit sometimes I swear. Sorry I just needed to vent I hope you're ok with it, I'm not asking for you to solve my problem I just know you're the only nice blogger I follow. Everyone else is weird af about people venting. But yeah I'm really upset now and I was about to eat but I lost my appetite. It's a reason I gained weight, my family is basically homeless living in our car rn bc of the pandemic and fast food is all we can afford so it's not like I'm just out here being a fat bitch, I'm relatively skinny but I hate having my weight gain pointed out like wtf 😒

Oh wow, okay this is a lot to take in. I'm okay with you guys venting, as long as you understand that I'm not a therapist & I don't have the answer to every question/problem. As far as this situation goes, whoever pointed out your weight gain was incredibly rude, hypocritical & insensitive, & you have every right to be upset. No one likes having an insecurity pointed out. The next time they do that you should point out that they're on the verge of 300lbs & see how they feel (sometimes you gotta give people a taste of their own medicine for them to realize how fucked up they're being). They also need to be more self aware & realize that pointing things out like that could affect someone's mental health & cause/trigger an ED. I'm sure you're beautiful. Please remember though that it's an insecurity - insecurities are not a reflection of who you are, they are simply negative emotions, & a lot (I mean a lot) of people have gained weight during the pandemic, you're definitely not alone. Even my sister has, lol. But it looks good on her & we don't make her feel like shit for it. If they do it again, call them out on it. Keep them in check, don't let people disrespect you. Nobody asked for their opinion of your body. I'm really sorry about your living situation though, if you were to set up a GoFundMe or something I'd be happy to donate & share! All the best to you, dear! Stay safe. 💛☺️♥️

Have you ever thought abt donating your hair? It‘s gorgeous. Happy Indigenous people‘s day and happy Canadian Thanksgiving! 🇺🇲🇨🇦🇺🇲🇨🇦🇺🇲🇨🇦

Lmao, your question made me think of Damian from Mean Girls when he complimented Cady's hair, "Is that your natural hair color? It's gorgeous."

But yeah! I do try to donate my hair at least once a year, it's pretty much the only reason I ever grow it out so long. I'm Canadian American, I live in the U.S so it's not Thanksgiving for me yet, but nonetheless thank you! ❤️💙

I tried native american food for the first time today with my brother!!! I followed the recipes :D it was so good, I had the fry bread, the indigenous corn, blue corn mush, and mutton stew! You have a beautiful culture and your mom looks just you, she’s gorgeous! :)

That's great, I'm glad you enjoyed the food! It's always nice to hear people trying indigenous recipes, especially of different tribes. A lot of Navajo recipes were given to my family by close friends so they're very close to my heart & it means a lot to be able to share them with people. You've conquered some Navajo food, now you have to try Lakota recipes (my tribe). & thank you so much, my mom is definitely my sassy twin! ( ꈍᴗꈍ) ❤️❤️

Hello. My name is Nica. I want to stay anon until I get comfortable and I‘m not good with new people. But my question is, how do you advise someone to deal with their depression? Do you know any remedies that help with chronic sadness? Or panic attacks? My life isn‘t where I want it to be atm, dealing with a lot of stuff and I don‘t have any friends to talk to or get help from. Sorry if I‘m bothering you in the morning I just saw that you‘re leaving tumblr and it triggered an attack and I feel like crying. You were the one blog I liked and how you helped people and now I don‘t have anybody :/

Omg. No, no, no, you're not bothering me at all, & you're not just going to wake up one day & my account is going to be deactivated. I'll tell you all when I'm leaving & chances are I still won't deactivate, just cause. I'm so, so sorry, I didn't mean to trigger you. It was just an idea I had. I used to have really bad panic attacks to a point were my muscles would hurt for days, I had to be taken in an ambulance & put on meds cause I had them daily for like a month. I wouldn't eat, I was constantly snapping on people & irritated. I turned into someone who isn't me. My family noticed the change & pointed it out & I snapped on them for that. It was that bad. And this was recent, this wasn't like 5 years ago, all this happened LAST year. So I know from experience how difficult & painful what you're going through right now can be.

Even though I still have anxiety sometimes, I learned how to stop the attacks from happening, I don't have them anymore. But before then my doctor wanted to put me in a psych ward, (yeah, he literally recommended that) & I took Xanax (& Zoloft for two days) for a while, then it stopped helping, so he wanted to increase my dose. And I didn't want to become an addict or dependent on meds (I personally don't believe in taking meds for mental illnesses), so one day I just decided "fuck it, I'm not taking anything anymore" & I realized in that moment that the decision I made scared me a fucking lot cause I wasn't going to have anything to run to, but ultimately it was going to help me. I had to hurt & pray A LOT before I got better. While I was going through it I felt so hopeless & lost & I started questioning my faith in God cause I didn't feel like anything was changing, I felt worse tbh. I remember one night I just completely gave up & I drove to my mom's house in the middle of the night cause I didn't know what else to do. We went for a walk & talked until the sun came up. I never call my parents when I'm going through something terrible, I always try to resolve my problems on my own, so if I call them it's serious. But with time I got better. And I'm happier. So I'm living proof that you CAN overcome your biggest demons. My advice to you would be to start slow, you won't get better overnight. It's going to take time & it's going to hurt - I won't lie to you, but you WILL prevail in the end. But for now, distract yourself, get on your phone & find a funny video. Give yourself time to breathe & realize you're safe. That feeling will pass & you'll be okay again. & if you ever need someone to talk to to help you calm down, come hop in my dm's & we can hang out until you feel better. You don't have to be alone. & you definitely don't have to suffer alone. I often get people who ask me for advice in handling depression, that's partially the reason I haven't left Tumblr. I wouldn't want to abandon anybody. I'm so sorry you're going through this, honey. I hope things get better for you. Literally if you need me to just stay here for you just to help you, I will. & if you need any more resources in dealing with anxiety/depression, dm me. I'm so sorry for triggering you. I'll choose my words more carefully next time. Bless your heart, I'll pray for you.
