how to help

If you got a friend that suffer from anorexia or boulimia, you maybe want to know how to help.
Your friend does probably not realize that she or he is ill, so this is something you got to make him or her realize.

One indication on anorexia is high emaciation, wich sometimes can be hard to notice.
One of the indications on boulimia is that the person who suffer from it go to the bathroom after they've eaten.

You can't get well without psychological treatment. But most important is to just be there for your friend, and show that you care and love him or her.

I wish you luck, and hopes that your friend will be well in time!

Now I think I'm done with my text about the fixation of beauty. So I feel I don't have to rush anything, and it feels really good.
The only thing I'm worried about is the english, because I feel that I haven't written so much on this blog, and I honestly don't really know what to write either.

But anyway, I'm done with my picture, and I feel satisfied. When I look at the picture I get a feeling of nudity, emptyness, fear and sadness. And that was the feelings I wanted to bring with the picture.

During the weekend I've written more about this fixation of beauty, and I got some more ideas when I discussed the subject with my mother. Today I'm going to do some more writing and work more with my picture. And then I'm not far from ready!

Now I've taken my pictures, so I only got to edit them, and when I've done that I'm actually done with the aesthetics. Then I only have to write more about the fixation of appearance.

So now I've got to write more about this fixation. I've read more about anorexia, and I think it's crazy how desperate some people get when it comes to their looks. To wear make-up and color your hair is one thing. But starve yourself, just because you want to loose a few pounds, is insane.

Anorexia nervosa, wich is the medical term, is a mentally ill desorientation, and you would die if you didn't get treatment. The most common causes are the societys ideal of beauty, deficient self-confidence, and what self-image you've got, and the most common way to get anorexia is by reducing. Often you don't even realize that you're ill, it's often you're friends and family who notice that you're starting to get abnormaly thin.

I think it's sick.

Now it feels quite good actually. I at least know what to do, and I know how I want the result to be.

I'm going to take a portrait photo of myself, without make-up on one side of my face, and a lot of make-up on the other one. I want it to symbolize the societys way to think of women, but most of all how women think of their selves.

Before know, it wasn't like this at all. If a girl where a little bit larger, she was considered beautiful. But a girl today are supposed to be thin and wear a lot of make-up. Many women don't think they are pretty without their make-up, and now I ask myself, why? Is media guilty when it comes to this fixation of appearance or is it something else?

Lost.

Today I've struggled with my thoughts about this project. I'm tired and I feel that my creativity is gone, wich makes me feel unfocused. I don't really know where to go from here. My idea is quite clear, and it works with my goals, but still I don't know what to do. It feels weird... I hope it feels different tomorrow.

Heroic assignment.

Last tuesday we got the assignment to do a heroic thing. I thought that the task was really difficult, because I had no idea what to do. I was working in pair with Malin O, and we went to my apartment to get my camera. Later on we went down to the city centre, and on our way we talked about what we could do. Well, it didn't go well accourding to me. We fed the ducks, and that's it really. I didn't like the assingment, because the weather was awful and it was a really hard thing to do. So to be honest, I hated it.
