CW: disordered eating, body dysmorphia It’s mid-summer, which means vacations, pool days, barbecues, and spending time outside. It also means wearing shorts and swimsuits and spending a lot of time eating around others. Summer was always so much fun when I was younger. I loved swimming, running around in the sprinkler, grilling out with family and friends, and just generally …

Do you ever feel like you’re racing against an invisible clock? Like if you don’t get this task done right now, some non-existent timer will go off and something bad will happen? I’ve always been the type of person who wants to get things done as soon as I can. I’ll come up with a project and just do it. …
