“I did speak about being in Harry Potter long before I was in the films. I just had this feeling I was going to be in it. I wrote to her [J.K. Rowling] when I was going through the eating disorder. I told her that it was the only thing that took my mind off. Anyone who has gone through it will know that that’s a very powerful thing, to take your mind off what you’re going through. Everywhere I turned… my siblings were angry with me, or my parents were worried about me and this was something that gave me a lot of solace. I wrote to her when I was going through that and said thank you. And I sent it to her editor and her assistant obviously read it, and was touched by the letter and gave it to her and she wrote back. She wrote a handwritten letter. We started a correspondence and we actually became pen pals, that’s when I was about 11. I wrote to her about Luna specifically saying she really frees me
because she’s such an eccentric, and she’s so weird and everyone
acknowledges she’s weird and for one second it doesn’t make her question herself. I think I said I wanted to play her.” — Evanna Lynch [x]
I drew this a few months ago when I was hopeless and waiting to see a new doctor, sat on it when I thought it was actually gonna be ok this time… and now the cycle has repeated YET AGAIN 🙂
fucking DOCTORS man
I had multiple things go wrong with me over the years- and every time my doctors were like *shrug* have you tried exercising more/losing weight? Like, I’m having terrible uterine pain that makes me sob in the fetal position- ‘idk, YOGA?’ Vertigo and sudden blindness- ‘probably stress’ horrible pain that makes me unable to walk ‘hmmm… weird. maybe you should lose weight?’
Finally now I have real diagnoses and a path to healing set out-
PCOS
psuedotumor cerebri
fibromyalgia
And I got the right pills for the first two- and they are both are basically in remission now- without any weight loss- in fact on every measurable level, I am healthy- low cholesterol, normal blood sugar, great heart rate- like every test I’m normal or better than normal.
I still suffer from terrible terrible pain sometimes, but I finally have a REAL plan for it that’s doable, instead of a lack of solutions. Haven’t had to go to the ER in almost a year! 😀
I still have days where I feel like this
but I have some hope now. Had to needless suffer for YEARS due to incompetent doctors not taking me seriously- but finally got good care! 😀
