This is alyssa, I’m gonna be ending the slut-brigade. I thought I could devote time and stuff to it but at the moment I’m far too overwhelmed and the other girls have schooling to take care of. And so we fail at posting. 

I will be writing on another recovery blog called http://time2recover.tumblr.com and it has a lot more posters that on the slut-brigade so it will be updating muuuch more.

Thank you for following, you have all been wonderful and I’m here if you ever need help. (serpentsicknessss.tumblr.com)

I’m going to wait a few days or a week or so to deactivate just so you call can unfollow or whatever you wish. Much love!

Evidence suggests that physical activity triggers new cell growth in the brain, increases mood-enhancing neurotransmitters and endorphins, reduces stress, and relieves muscle tension—all things that can have a positive effect on depression.

To get the most benefit, aim for 30 minutes of exercise per day. But you can start small. Short 10-minute bursts of activity can have a positive effect on your mood. Here are a few easy ways to get moving:

• Take the stairs rather than the elevator
• Park your car in the farthest spot in the lot
• Take your dog for a walk
• Pair up with an exercise partner
• Walk while you’re talking on the phone

As a next step, try incorporating walks or some other enjoyable, easy form of exercise into your daily routine. The key is to pick an activity you enjoy, so you’re more likely to keep up with it.

Ways to challenge negative thinking:

• Think outside yourself. Ask yourself if you’d say what you’re thinking about yourself to someone else. If not, stop being so hard on yourself. Think about less harsh statements that offer more realistic descriptions.
• Allow yourself to be less than perfect. Many depressed people are perfectionists, holding themselves to impossibly high standards and then beating themselves up when they fail to meet them. Battle this source of self-imposed stress by challenging your negative ways of thinking
• Socialize with positive people. Notice how people who always look on the bright side deal with challenges, even minor ones, like not being able to find a parking space. Then consider how you would react in the same situation. Even if you have to pretend, try to adopt their optimism and persistence in the face of difficulty.
• Keep a “negative thought log.” Whenever you experience a negative thought, jot down the thought and what triggered it in a notebook. Review your log when you’re in a good mood. Consider if the negativity was truly warranted. Ask yourself if there’s another way to view the situation. For example, let’s say your boyfriend was short with you and you automatically assumed that the relationship was in trouble. But maybe he’s just having a bad day.

Types of negative thinking that add to depression

All-or-nothing thinking

Looking at things in black-or-white categories, with no middle ground (“If I fall short of perfection, I’m a total failure.”)

Overgeneralization

Generalizing from a single negative experience, expecting it to hold true forever (“I can’t do anything right.”)

The mental filter

Ignoring positive events and focusing on the negative. Noticing the one thing that went wrong, rather than all the things that went right.

Diminishing the positive

Coming up with reasons why positive events don’t count (“She said she had a good time on our date, but I think she was just being nice.”)

Jumping to conclusions

Making negative interpretations without actual evidence. You act like a mind reader (“He must think I’m pathetic.”) or a fortune teller (“I’ll be stuck in this dead end job forever.”)

Emotional reasoning

Believing that the way you feel reflects reality (“I feel like such a loser. I really am no good!”)

‘Shoulds’ and ‘should-nots’

Holding yourself to a strict list of what you should and shouldn’t do, and beating yourself up if you don’t live up to your rules.

Labeling

Labeling yourself based on mistakes and perceived shortcomings (“I’m a failure; an idiot; a loser.”)

When an eating disordered person says, “I’m fat” it doesn’t always mean “I’m fat”. Instead they could be trying to say “I’m sad” or “I’m really angry”. Telling a person with an ED “Oh, you’re not fat” isn’t going to work when they aren’t looking to hear that. They may instead be looking for a way to express anxiety, shame, guilt, depression etc through their ED. Saying “I’m fat” isn’t always just a statement, it’s an emotion.

trust me, you will still get attention keeping your clothes on in tumblr posts!

cliche as it is, if you don’t respect yourself you shouldn’t expect that any guy will treat you any way other than a piece of meat

i expect guys to be mature and not pieces of shit that will judge me and how much respect i deserve because of what i do with MY body.
why aren’t you attacking the guys that get naked on tumblr? there are plenty of them and they can be just as attention-seeking

Well, first of all, have you totally cool, respectful guys ever considered that maybe, JUST MAYBE, girls don’t just get naked for your fucking attention. I mean, I know it’s shocking, but maybe they like their own goddamn bodies and they want to actually show that. Maybe they just like being naked. Your “attention” is not fucking needed any more than your worthless fucking approval of what women do with their bodies.

Second of all, it has nothing to do with self-respect. At all. The fact that you don’t respect a woman because she’s naked has nothing to do with how she feels about herself. In fact, a lot of women that post naked pictures do so because they love their bodies, and (are you ready?) they think they’re awesome. I know, it’s a mind blowing concept. They actually love their own bodies, and they didn’t need your approval or consent to love themselves! How shocking. 

And lastly, no woman should ever have to do anything to not be treated like a piece of meat. She’s a fucking woman. She’s a person. She has thoughts and feelings and opinions, and you’re a fucking piece of shit if you think that suddenly you’re allowed to disregard those because “Oh my god, tits!”. I mean, how fucking small and unimportant must you be that you have to go around and tell women that they’re not allowed to feel good about their bodies, or validated in what they do, just because you don’t fucking like it.

Fuck off and stop with this kind of misogynistic bullshit, you giant dickbags. Do us all a favour and shove your fists down your mouth so nobody has to risk hearing you or reading the shit you say.

Oh gosh that was good so I’m gonna have to reblog this for my followers!
