My auntie is determined to buy me clothes I hate.
I asked for art materials.
She got me ladies clothes instead.
I don't wear ladies clothes.
I can't even take it back to the shop because I'm not a 50 yo bloke so I don't wear anything from Marks & Sparks.
Give the clothes to the homeless.
Gain some warm and fuzzies.
Any other year I would.
This year I'm making do by donating the receipt to mum.
Although that will take til after the virus too so hmm...

What's bugging me now is - why do people find it acceptable to rant about unrelated stuff just cos they are feeling upset? Esp to someone who is likely to be upset over the same thing?
Just be blunt and honest about being upset then don't take it out on the other person and in a trivial conversation.
People complain about "filter bubbles" on the internet, but I've come to think that it's actually
better to rant about what's upsetting you to like-minded, supportive people, rather than to find a random member of "the other side" and start a huge pointless fight with them.
Granddad's got cancer & mum keeps ranting at me for stuff that has nothing to do with him having cancer.
It hurts me that he's ill too.
In fact mum keeps saying he won't die & I think he will.
She's snapping at me over completely unrelated s**t. It's really annoying. I don't get why her emotions are affecting her in that way. I do know that this is probably why she's doing it but - I wish she would at least take it out on someone who isn't hurting for the exact same reason she's hurting (Ok granddad not dad but still...)

What I'm wondering about now is does it count as an ED if it has nothing to do with weight and everything to do with punishing yourself over other stuff? If you know you're underweight? If you're not starving yourself, you just eat bad food on purpose when you feel like a bad person so that the inside of the stomach matches the inside of the brain...
And I'm thinking it's not a particularly healthy way to live.
I've been at it for years. If I don't eat lunch early enough, I punish myself by eating unhealthy food.
