Our True Identity- Deiter F. Uchtdorf

This is a portion of a talk given by one of the worldwide leaders of my church. It says exactly the standpoint that I see beauty. You are all beautiful swans, whether you know it or not. I love you, and so does your Saviour, and I say these things in His holy name, Amen.

Sorry/Mental illness

First of all, we are so sorry nobody's been posting. I should be able to post periodically now. 
On to what I wanted to post about: mental illness. "Oh like crazy people?" you may ask. Actually most people with mental illnesses aren't what you'd define as "crazy". This stigma is a big problem for people who actually do have one. So I just thought I'd clear up some things that are common things people say/think about it that bug me. 
1) "We need to get these people off the streets! They're dangerous!" 
-Actually around 30% of the population will suffer from some form of mental illness within their lifetime. Additionally, most mental illnesses (such as Anxiety or Depression) don't make people dangerous to others at all, and among the ones that can make somebody violent or dangerous, a very small percentage are actually any danger to anyone. 

2) "Just get over it!" or "You're overreacting!" or "Just think positively!" etc. 
-This is one of my biggest pet peeves ever. Mental illness is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. Just like your stomach can get sick or you can get cancer, your brain can get sick too, and it's not your fault. Most the time, it's just that your genetics make you more prone to it. So telling somebody with Anxiety to just "calm down" is like telling somebody with the flu to just "stop throwing up". 

3) "You shouldn't be taking those drugs to make you happy. You can just use these essential oils/natural remedies/sleep more/exercise/think positively."
-Like the above, may I point out that if you had appendicitis you wouldn't say "I'll just sleep more and it'll go away." or "I'll just go for a run and then my appendix won't explode." Sure those things can help, but sometimes only an antidepressant or anti-anxiety pill etc will really make you able to cope and get through the day. 

4) "That's not real. It's just a doctor's excuse to get money for visits and medicine." or "You're just an attention seeker."  
-Um.... no. Just no. It's very real. Being emotionally unable to get out of bed and get dressed is not something you fake. Especially because there's such a big stigma against it that nobody would really want to fake it just for attention because they'd be seen as a freak. 

5)"But you could totally [insert activity that they could do yesterday but not today] yesterday!" 
-What somebody with a mental disorder can do often varies from day to day. Don't judge that. Sometimes they just have a really bad day and aren't up to doing said thing. 

6)"Why are you afraid of that? Nothing bad will happen/it's really unlikely that anything bad will happen." 
-Don't question it. Sometimes they just can't explain it or it would be too hard to even talk about it. 

7)"There are so many people who have it worse than you!" 
-Haha yeah I know. But how would you like to wake up with your hands shaking and not being able to breathe, then less than 2 hrs later have an excruciating stress headache? Forget feeling good if you forget your morning Prozac, your day is about to be crappy no matter how many awesome things happen that day. 

Sorry if that last one (or any of them) were at all cynical or mean sounding. Have a great day and go hug your favourite depressed or anxious person (with permission of course). :)

News

Hey, sorry, I know that no one has posted in two weeks and that's mainly because Ive just had so much homework lately and just haven't had time. So, I talked to Lizzie Lou and Ham and we agreed that we are only going to post once a week. Once we get more time we might do more but for now this is all anyone has time for. Sorry. This week I will try to post on either Thursday or Friday.

Friday Advice

Hey, so today I thought I'd talk about bullies. I know someone else has already spoken about this, but I thought that this time I'd talk about the victim instead of the bully. If someone is bullying you, don't be afraid to step up and tell someone. Even if they threaten you. No one has the right to put you down and make you feel bad about yourself. Everyone has the right to feel good about themselves.

Wednesday Song

Hey, so I like this song it says like how she didn't really fit in and when she talked she felt like no one listened, and I know some of you guys feel like that and I just wanted to say that everything you say does have an impact on another person because everyone matters.

Suicide Prevention day

Today is world suicide prevention day! I would have worn a yellow ribbon around my wrist if I had known before school, but I didn't. Oh well. I just wanted to say that if anybody out there is thinking they have no reason to live, you're wrong. Think of all the cookies, all the hugs and fun times with your friends you'll miss if you don't keep going. I promise it'll get better. So much better. You'll fall in love and that person will fall in love with you. Or maybe you won't. And if you don't, you can be a very successful person and still do amazing things, even if you aren't married. I believe in you. One of my favourite sayings is "fall down six times, get up seven". Or you could fall down a thousand times and get up a thousand and one time. If you need to talk, you can always talk to me. I don't care if it seems like nobody else would ever understand, I will try my best. I love you so much, dear! 

Love, Bunny

Some of you might not like One Direction, and if you don't, I'm sorry, but just like ignore the faces I guess and read the quotes.

Friday Advice

Hey, so today I thought I would talk about overweight people, because that is a concept near and dear to my heart. I've always been a little chubby and been uncomfortable with people in my school, my friends, even my family because they are all stick thin. I try to cover up my belly rolls whenever I'm sitting next to a popular person at school for fear of being gossiped about. But just because I may be a little bigger doesn't mean that I'm still not beautiful. Beauty comes from all different shapes and sizes.

Wednesday Song!

Look, I know we haven't been posting very much, but with school and everything, I don't have much time, and I'll talk to the other girls and see if they can post a little more often. For today's song, I'm pretty sure all of you have heard it, but I'm posting a lyric video so you can read what the song is trying to tell you. It basically says even if you feel insignificant and like a nobody, if you are confident, you are unstoppable! And I might start posting more regularly, but I want to make sure I'm not just writing all this gibberish to no one, so please, comment, email, anything to let us know that we aren't just like, talking to ourselves. Even if you don't have much to say, just say, I'm reading, or something like that. Thanx!
~Moca~

Wednesday, a day late!

I know, I know, we haven't posted anything in quite some time. I will make sure that we will post more often. Now, I can't quite remember if I've done this song before but, I'll do it anyways because I remember last year, on the bus, I would always listen to this song if I just didn't have as much confidence that day. Enjoy:)

Monday Quotes

So, I know I've been gone a while because I was at Girls Camp and at Beehive Camp and just a bunch of personal stuff. Anyways, at Girls Camp, my leaders and my YCL(Youth Camp Leader) made it their goal to make us all feel beautiful and like princesses. To be honest, I didn't exactly feel beautiful when I went, so I can relate to all of you out there reading this. We are all beautiful, and I am shocked that some of you who are absolutely gorgeous don't see it. Everyone is beautiful, no matter what.

Advice Friday

Guys bullying is ugly. If you are a bully, make sure you change your ways. If you're a victim, it's not your fault and don't believe a word they say! You are beautiful, strong and amazing! If you're a bystander, be the beautiful rescuer of that victim. Stand up to bullies. Stay amazing lovely people! <3

Just remember, everyone is beautiful no matter what "they" say. "They" could be anyone, but don't listen to "them", because they are little pig heads ;).

Normal 19 year old sized barbie :)

Remember when I posted that barbie I had given my proportions to? Well, this guy made a barbie with average proportions for a 19 year old woman! His name is Nikolay Lamm, and he photoshopped a barbie to be the correct size for a healthy woman. If you want to see the actual article, it's here. 

Th only changes i would make would be to make her head higher and have her smiling, so she looked more confident, but that's just me.

Some little uplifting thing that I made up

I think that everybody should know that you can't spell beautiful without U!

Wednesday Song

The song for today will be Who Says be Selena Gomez. This song basically talks about how you shouldn't care about what other people say because you are perfect. Stay pretty my kitties!

Monday a day late!

Sorry I'm late, but I have been sick for over a week so I haven't been able to get on the computer much.

Stay pretty my kitties!!!
~Moca~

Song

OK, I know this is One Direction and a lot of people hate One Direction, but just read the lyrics, m'kay? The song is basically about how a girl is beautiful and she doesn't even know it, but everyone around her can tell that she is beautiful.

Hey der

Hi, I'm a new admin, my sign-off will be ~Moca~. Just a little about me:
1. I am a HUGE Directioner and Belieber
2. I LOVE Teen Wolf
3. I LOVE my family
4. I am a bit strange so be prepared (DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU ;))
5. I truly and honestly believe everyone should think that they are beautiful. If you don't think you are beautiful, you OBVIOUSLY must be delusional, because I don't even know you and I already know how pretty you are.

Business

Hey guys! Just wanted to let you know that we have a facebook page now and that you guys should go like it! Also, I'll try to actually make sure we post a lot more regularly. If you look on one of the days we're supposed to post and there's not one, either check back at 10:30 pm or the next day, because my computer wont let me get on the internet after 10:30, so I usually won't post after then. The other announcement I wanted to make is that we still haven't gotten ANY feedback, so we need you guys to email us if you read this blog. We want to know that we aren't posting to nobody here! The new email address is projectfeelpretty@gmail.com . And one more announcement: Lizzie Lou's going to start doing tuesday tweets from our NEW TWITTER! So if you have a twitter, follow us! Thanks so much for your support, beautiful people!

monday quotes, a day late, but still here!

If you do feel like this, talk to your mom about it, talk to your best friend about it, email me about it and I swear i will reply. ( projectfeelpretty@gmail.com ) Just talk to someone and even that can make you feel at least a little better. Because you are worth it, you do matter, and you don't have to just be alone with these feelings. 

-Bunny

Friday post

This is basicly all I would want to say as advice. So remember it. You are beautiful and so is everyone else, if you look hard enough.

Wednesday post

This is a picture of a Barbie that I covered in clay to make it have the same proportions as me. 5 year old girls want something to play with, so what do we give them? A Barbie, the most unproportionally skinny doll ever. If Barbie were a real person, her waist would be 22 3/4 inches. As a reference, my waist is 30 inches. Her knees would be less than 10 inches. As a reference, mine are 15.5 inches. (Yep, she has extremely tiny knees.) also notice that there's no clay on her chest. That is because her bust size and mine are the same, proportionally speaking. Nobody with anorexia is going to have a bust that large, just sayin'. She would have yellow skin, blue nail beds, and all the other symptoms of eating disorders. You are too amazing to starve yourself. Always remember that.

Monday quotes

So lately I've been really interested in anorexia. I know that sounds weird, and I don't know why this disease is so intriguing to me, but it is. And maybe it's because for a short while, I considered not eating because I felt fat and a bit ugly. Sooooo... Here are the quotes:



this should DEFINITELY be the policy!


this woman used to suffer from anorexia and she made a life size barbie with the correct proportions. You can see that she's really oddly proportioned.

So remember: you need to EAT!
