First Post - About Me

Hello! ^^

My name's Gianna. This is my first blog post (obviously). So I'll just make it a little introduction page.

Like I said, my name is Gianna. Middle name is Marie. I'm not sharing my last name. I prefer to be called Gigi. I was born August 11th in 2004, which makes me currently 17 years old. I won't share exactly where I live, but I'll say it's in Colorado, USA. I am 5 foot 1 and a half inches tall.

I'm a bit - actually, a lot - socially awkward. I like making friends but most the time I try to avoid people because I feel as if I always say and do the wrong things around them and that'll make them hate me, and it gives me major anxiety. I try to be a very friendly person, and I don't judge anybody for any reason, but sometimes someone gets on my nervous by being annoying or just an overall cunt, and sometimes I snap at them. But that rarely happens.

I'm not single, I'm dating the best girl in the entire world. We've been together for 28 months as of this blog post, and if anything I love her more than I did when we first got together. I think it's still pretty weird she isn't sick of my shit yet, but I'm happy she isn't. I love her so much.

I have a little space, so if you judge those kinds of people, you should read someone else's blog. I probably won't really talk about it too often, but I just want to throw that in there. And no, not looking for a caregiver, I have one already, don't need more than one, thank you come again.

Let's move onto my mental illnesses - this is a trigger warning area.

I've suffered with depression, eating disorders, and cutting since I was about 9 years old. The main reason for these was probably my mother's death, but now I don't even know the reason why I'm still struggling. But, at the very least, I'm trying to recover from my anorexia and cutting. As for my depression, it still sucks, but I try to keep myself busy so it won't really take over me. I might get more in depth about this stuff another day.

Anyway, that's it for now! If anyone is reading this, enjoy my blog! :)

3/24/22 - It's Been Awhile

  Trigger Warning: disordered eating, depression, self-harm (mentioned), dysphoria(sorta?), panic attacks, suicide (mentioned) To start off, I want to say sorry it's been a while (though probably nobody reads my blog honestly). I've been dealing with a lot of personal issues and I just haven't really sat down to write down or type out my feelings about anything. So I decided to give an update and explain everything that's been going on. My eating disorders have been a bit of an issue, but not too huge a part. Currently I'm trying to eat a healthy amount of food - not too much, not too little. And my girlfriend (who has finally accepted that I overeat and binge) has been trying to help me with it. I keep track of what I eat, and how much, but I don't focus on the calories. And I don't obsess over how much I eat - I'm just trying to be mindful of it. I'm planning to start exercising, but only for a small amount of time each day. And it's been worki...

Explaining my ED (part one: the backstory & experience)

Image
  Trigger Warning: ED Talk People know I have an eating disorder. It hasn't exactly been kept a secret. My friends usually tend to not care or ignore it, my family thinks I'm doing it for attention, and my girlfriend doesn't always seem to understand why I can't just "eat for her". There's been people who've told me I don't look like I have an eating disorder. Because I'm either "not thin enough" or because I "eat all the time". I have two eating disorders. I have binge-eating disorder, and I also have anorexia nervosa. I won't go into every detail of my ED story, but I've been suffering with ED's since I was around 9 years old. My mom died and binging became a way to cope, and it became a daily occurrence when I turned 11. At 11 I moved to where I live now and me and my dad moved in with my stepmom and half-brother. At first the binges died down, it turned from 2k binges to just overeating. I ate when I wasn...

1/20/22 - A New Year

Image
Trigger Warning: Talk of ED and self-harm I know it's a little bit past New Year's, but I haven't made a blog yet this year. So I wanted to talk about my goals for 2022.  And look back and reflect on 2021, which is what I'll do first. 2021 was a hard year for me, and I had thought the previous years were awful. I had spent the last few years hating myself, hating my life, just wishing I was dead. And I blamed it on the way my grandmother treated me. Which in a way, I still do. She was strict, but not in the caring way. She just wanted to control every aspect of my life. When she learned I had an eating disorder, she tried to control that too, making my eating disorder worse. Because though my eating disorder started as just a way to cope with bad feelings, it became more than that, especially in Arizona. It became a way to "control" something in my life, something my grandma couldn't no matter how hard she tried. Anytime I messed something up, she screamed...
