A nice story

li

I have been sad AF recently, with what's been on the news and then being sick making me all emotional. Trigger warning, I'll try to not say anything that's too triggering. Im trying to tell a happy story lol

I decided to share something nice 🤷‍♀️ I have been open about my eating disorder on this app. It got really bad when I was 15, I dropped to a really low weight.

People at school were concerned, my teachers were concerned. It was actually very annoying but it was clear that they all noticed that I didn't eat. I figured it'd turn into a vicious rumor.. braced for it pretty much.

I had also accidentally burned my leg badly. Nobody really knew about that because I always had it covered under my jeans because I didn't want it exposed.. it was gnarly. The ER gave me Loritabs for pain and the burn started hurting really bad at school from walking so I took some.

I didn't know that not eating and taking opiates was a really bad idea. I was sitting in class and couldn't hold my head up. I got up and left the classroom and went and sat in the principals office and flat out told him I was too high to be at school. 🤷‍♀️😂 I swear I didn't just tell him that, i explained and I told him why I was taking the meds. My mom picked me up.

The next day everyone thought I had gotten really fucking sick and I opened my locker and a bunch notes fell out of it. I thought i was about to read some really awful shit, I can't remember all of them but most of it was "you are beautiful" and "feel better soon"

And I got complimented as I walked down the hall which i was just looking at people like

They had all made an effort to make me feel better instead of being judgmental about it and some of them weren't even my friends.

It was really damn sweet. I think I have pictures of the notes and I'll try to find them.

I figured out later that it was one of my friends who came up with the idea and everyone went along with it. I did have to explain to them that i had just taken drugs that knocked me on my ass and wasn't sick 😂

I could only find this one. I marked out my last name. This actually meant a lot to me, I was dealing with major depression and I'll probably remember this until im old as hell.
