Naghahanap ba Kayo ng Tulong?
Bagaman pinahahalagahan namin sa TikTok ang malikhaing pagpapahayag, ang kaligtasan ng mga gumagamit ang unang- unang inaalaala namin. Kung nagkakaproblema kayo o may kakilala kayong nagkakaproblema at nangangailangan kayo ng tulong, mangyaring makipag-ugnay agad kayo sa mga maykapangyarihan sa inyong lugar o sa Suicide Hotline (https://www.tiktok.com/safety/suicide-self-harm/). Kung makakita kayo ng laman sa TikTok na nakababahala, mangyaring ipagbigay-alam ninyo ang laman para matawag ang aming pansin.
In my opinion, there are only two situations in which it may be appropriate to comment upon a persons’s body size:
—if they agree to talk about it with you
—if such a conversation may literally save their life and even then, only with the help of a trusted medical and/or mental health professional
Otherwise, I wish we could normalize giving compliments to people that do not directly relate to that person’s body size. You never know how or why that person’s body size has changed—whether they’re larger OR smaller. They could be struggling with an injury, suffering from a debilitating illness (like cancer), or dealing with depression. Why wade into a potential minefield of trauma and pain when a simple “I love your hair!” will suffice?
I also wish we could, in general, just stop talking about diets and losing weight and getting skinny like everyone at the table has somehow agreed that these are totally normal things to talk about with random people who haven’t otherwise demonstrated any interest in such topics. I’m already socially anxious and I feel less inclined to go out with people I don’t know if eating disorders disguised as “diets” are acceptable topics of casual conversation.
I realize not everyone has unhealthy relationships with eating or their bodies, but over 14 million people struggle with disordered eating. There’s a good chance that at least one person at a dinner party, luncheon, or fun run is going through a thing and it doesn’t cost you your soul to just talk about something else or replace “Oh my god you lost so much weight!” with “omg you look amazing!”
These madeleine-like thingies are just my banana bread recipe baked in madeleine pans, dipped in melted chocolate, and sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds. :)

A new "bed rotting" trend on TikTok is raising concerns for mental health experts. The viral trend involves staying in bed all day to sleep, watching tv and being on your phone. #bedrotting #trend #tiktok #mentalhealth #health #bed #sleep #mentalhealthissues #mentalhealthproblems #news #fyp #foryoupage #abc7news
A TV meteorologist in Australia is being praised for how he handled an on air panic attack when he was giving the weather forecast. Nate Byrne later came back on air and told viewers, "Sorry if I gave anybody a bit of a scare there."
