Yeah that’s genuinely a tough one. If my family were a part of the cult (thankfully they’re not) I don’t think I’d be able to cut them out outright. They’re misguided, brainwashed, but maybe those words are just my excuses to downplay the horrors they condone/believe, that they’re just my way of justifying keeping them in my life.

And then when I try to picture a nazi family back in Nazi germany, and the one member of that family realizing the horror of it all, instinctually I want them to cut ties or fight against their family, not turn a blind eye simply because they’re related. That feels gross, until suddenly I try to imagine myself in the same situation, with my loved ones, and suddenly it’s infinitely harder.

I hate this, and am forever grateful that I don’t personally have to deal with it. My heart goes out to those with family members that have been sucked in.

I’m turning 25 in 5 days and have only mastered the crying part, am I a failure?

Recognizing that it’s a moment of weakness is what’s important, don’t brush it off and pretend it’s perfectly fine. Recognize it as a slip up in a moment of stress.

Exactly this, like obviously you should exercise, but when it comes to losing weight it’s really the diet that matters most.

I actually, within the span of about a year, went from 280 to 179 lbs through diet alone, I literally did no exercise. I’m 6’ btw.

Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t exactly recommend that, without exercise you’ll also be losing tons of muscle. But my point is that diet is incredibly powerful.

Not anymore apparently

I genuinely appreciate it, seriously. I really shouldn’t have gotten as dark as I did in the first place tho, this topic is just a really personal one. And idk, maybe what I said brought up some bad stuff for that guy and he lashed out.

But anyways, you’re awesome, thank you for saying something, it really means a lot.

I know you’ll forget about all of this in a couple of hours, but I want you to know that this won’t ever leave me. I’m sorry for making you feel this way.
