    Good Girl Burn Out

    Hello internet. Long time no write. I have been feeling v e r y drained recently. And I have been struggling lots with coming to terms with this. For most of my life, I have been a high achiever, constantly pushing myself to do more more MORE. I am a fairly experienced and successful multi-tasker, who would never even consider giving up on a project I’ve already started. Like, never. I’m on my 11th week back at university or so, this semester, and I am empty. I have had a trying few months, and it’s safe to say I feel emotionally and physically depleted in many ways. I don’t know…

    What nobody tells you pt. 1

    **TW EDs** Hello to whoever has stumbled across this! Doing something a bit different, and sharing a word vomit on here. Might make a series of this, with 3 things each time. Maybe not. I hope it is thought provoking. If you feel triggered, please please seek help or chat to me. You will lose everything you were hoping to gain, and gain everything you were hoping to lose. It is all a scam. ~ This is my warning to you The first time you were called fat wasn’t even to your face. You were maybe eight, he was one year older. You’re 100% certain he has no memory of…

Today, I’m going to bring to you a little spiel about clothes which are the wrong size for your body, and how to deal with it. Scroll down to the bottom for a quick-read list, if you don’t have 4 minutes to spare for reading the bulk of the text <3 Recently, I cleared out the wardrobe in my childhood room. I am a recovering hoarder (lol), and have only recently…

    Skipping meals – and why you shouldn’t

    Hello hello! I just wanted to jump on real quick and write about skipping meals in recovery (although this frankly applies to anyone). I think many people, as part of disordered eating, may form habits of skipping meals every now and then, or even do so consistently. Today, I had breakfast/brunch fairly late at about 10:30am, and then had some errands to run. I got back home, had a small snack, and started to feel hungry at about 4pm. And I felt bad, as in my mind having brunch meant I shouldn’t have lunch, and especially not at 4pm when I was going out for dinner in a couple hours……

    Introductions

    Hello, and welcome to my blog! My name is Linda, and I’m a university student in my early 20s. I use she/her pronouns, I’m studying to become a doctor, and I like to spend my time on Instagram and other forms of social media, when I’m not hanging out with friends (classic), dancing, cooking or doing boring adulting. I have created this little page as a corner on the internet for me to collate things that may be too long (or inappropriate) for Instagram captions. I have also got another blog about veganism called Linda does Vegan, which I encourage you to check out if that’s something you might be…
