Raised By Anorexia | The Taboo Tab
https://tabootab.com/2014/01/08/raised-by-anorexia
Express yourself before you wreck yourself. January 8, 2014. Trigger warning: eating disorders). Body image is complicated for a child of someone with an eating disorder. In high school, I was naturally thin. I rarely exercised, but was just naturally small. In my senior year, I started eating at Moe’s Mexican Restaurant. I would come home, and my mom would comment:. If you keep eating Moe’s, you’ll get fat. It never really occurred to me that this was unhealthy behavior. My mom ate so little. Until ...

I Didn’t Say No | The Taboo Tab
https://tabootab.com/2014/01/08/i-didnt-say-no
Express yourself before you wreck yourself. I Didn’t Say No. January 8, 2014. I do not think of myself as a victim. Nor do I think of myself as a survivor. Sometimes the words come easily to me. I can say them out loud, with no hesitation. But sometimes, in a twisted way, I feel like I haven’t really ‘earned’ them. Like I shouldn’t make such a big deal about it. Like I’m just looking for attention. Like I dreamed it. Like it could have been so much worse. I didn’t even say no. I didn’t say no. Forgive me...

Express yourself before you wreck yourself. Being The Girl with the Eating Disorder. January 8, 2014. Trigger warning: eating disorders). Body Image. Self Confidence. That voice that tells you whether you are good enough. Pretty enough. Thin enough. The voice that some how ties who you are to how you look. Or maybe that’s just me. Beauty is only skin deep, until it infects your mind. Part One: I Go Through Hell. I’m naturally a fairly uncensored person, except for this one thing:. The exact starting poin...

The Gym Rat | The Taboo Tab
https://tabootab.com/2014/01/08/the-gym-rat
Express yourself before you wreck yourself. January 8, 2014. Introductions suck. No matter how many times I try typing this out, I can’t think of a way to do it without coming off as a whiney wimp, and that’s the problem. No one ever told that men grew up with the same insecurities. But that’s a healthy male looks like, right? So I did what any stupid kid self-conscious about his weight would do. I started skipping meals. High school came around, and I had hopes that now I could possibly escape the hell ...

https://tabootab.com/2014/01/08/the-myth-of-fabglitter
Express yourself before you wreck yourself. The Myth of FABGLITTER. January 8, 2014. As far as being gay goes, I’ve had it pretty easy. Would I describe my gayness as a traumatic and definitive aspect of my life, like it always seems to be portrayed in movies? No Does that mean that I’m content with my experience as someone who falls outside of the category of hetero-normativity? Not even a little bit. What, for the love of all things rainbow, am I talking about? I don’t just mean to nitpick what letters...

And I Breathe | The Taboo Tab
https://tabootab.com/2014/03/12/and-i-breathe
Express yourself before you wreck yourself. March 12, 2014. Trigger warning: anxiety, panic attacks]. Apparently my pulse is racing, my heart racing. And I breathe. Deep, long, rough. Like a car driving on gravel. I focus on the breathing. Every thought, every muscle, every sense, is dedicated to a long inhale and longer exhale. I keep breathing, long and deep, until the car is off the gravel and onto smooth pavement. At least, smoother than before. The problem takes form. I walk it through in my hea...

https://tabootab.com/2014/01/29/good-vibrations
Express yourself before you wreck yourself. January 29, 2014. It was the start of the last semester of my undergraduate education, and the day was passing normally enough. I sat in the back row of a large lecture hall as the room filled up, faster than I had anticipated. I took out my lined paper and pen. It was my first lecture of what the professor standing several rows away from me would simply dub, Feminism 101. What are you doing? Shhh, I’ll just go see if it’s open. / Someone’s going to see you...

Express yourself before you wreck yourself. My Brother’s Diagnosis. March 12, 2014. Everyone has memories so vivid, it’s like they happened yesterday. My brain clings to moments of travel, romance, family, friends; so rich I close my eyes and I am there. However, not all of these engraved moments are good. With good times, there are bad times. Then I got a phone call from my mother. You’ll never guess who I’m about to meet right now-. Honey, your brother has been admitted to the hospital.”. After that ph...
