And though there may be some superficial similarities between a psychiatrist and a headologist, there is a huge practical difference. A psychiatrist, dealing with a man who fears he is being followed by a huge and terrible monster, will endeavor to convince him that monsters don’t exist. Granny Weatherwax would simply give him a chair to stand on and a very heavy stick.

Anonymous asked: why "no"?
Because of what getting better means, gaining weight, eating. Because I don’t know if I could cope without an eating disorder. Because it’s the only part of me I know is real.

Anonymous asked: Why do you shave your hair off? I'm just curious.
Well my hair was blue just before I shaved it and I wanted to get rid of the blue because people were always saying OMG I lOVE YOUR HAIR and after a while it got to me and I was like go away and stop looking at me, I mean I didn’t say that, but that was how I was feeling. I decided to shave it instead of bleaching/redying it because it seemed easier and also more dramatic and I was in that sort of mood. So I shaved it off and started wearing a hat everywhere and also stopped wearing makeup ever and then I found I was a lot less self-conscious and stopped constantly thinking about how other people saw me. I keep it shaved because for the moment it suits how I feel, and it’s so easy to look after, and a few other reasons some of which contradict the ones I’ve already stated.
Congratulations if you read all this btw.
