tw: ED , calories

I’m having a hard time today. I don’t know how to set boundaries with my friends about talking about diets. Since recovery, I have been living with no food rules. I spent a lot of time clearing up my social media to prevent diet culture from triggering me into relapse. But I don’t know how to confront my friends who constantly talk about their bodies, calorie counting and losing weight. These things ruined my life. I wasted six years trying to control these aspects of my life. I want to live free from diet culture, but I also know that everyone is on their own journey to self love. I love my friends but I need to prioritize recovery in my life. Any tips for how to address this?

It’s NEDA week ! I’m gonna spend a lot of time this week sharing resources with you guys :) I’m so excited to have this week dedicated to sharing more information and helping more people out there ❤️ Today I wanted to share the NEDA recommendations for reaching out to someone you suspect is struggling with an eating disorder. I’ve been confronted about my eating disorder in every way you can imagine. I’ve had people shout at me, cry, get angry with me. These often made me feel more guilty about my disorder and caused me to hide it further rather than get help. If you know someone struggling with disordered eating, please take time to read this ⤵️

If you’re eating disorder says “you’re fat. you don’t deserve to eat lunch”, and you then don’t eat lunch, you are giving your eating disorder power.

You’re telling your eating disorder “yeah you’re right. I believe you. You tell me what to do.”

But you know it’s lying, so let your actions speak for what you know is the truth, even if you’re disordered thoughts are telling you otherwise.

i’m having a really bad day. i was feeling extremely manic the last few days, and finally crashed tonight. i feel like i’m playing whack a mole with my mental health. when i focus too much on one of my disorders, the others flare up. flashbacks can be very overwhelming for me. feeling really low but i know i can get through this. tomorrow is a new day. manifesting health, recovery and love for all of you 🤍

taking anti-depressants/anti-anxiety medication isn’t going to destroy your personality.

but you know what will?

years of suffering due to depression and anxiety where you don’t have time to develop your personality.

medication isn’t turning you into a robot. it is going to help you function so you can get better.

there’s no shame in taking medication.

now that i am in recovery i am slowly starting to see the doctors that i avoided for so long. after six years of bulimia, i know that i have caused serious damage to my teeth. my disorder created a serious fear of the dentist, i was terrified of being called out for my bulimia. so for years i skipped my checkups and avoided the dentist. my dental hygiene also suffers whenever i’m in depressive episodes. i’ve put off getting my wisdom teeth removed to the point of extreme pain. i’m really scared to go to the dentist but i know it’s only going to get worse if i don’t take care of it. facing my fears one day at a time ❤️

i hope some of you who are early on in your eating disorder truly understand the consequences of these illnesses. one of the big turning points in my disorder was researching the stories of other women who died from bulimia. i wrote down the names of every woman whose story i read. though i didn’t know them in life, i felt so connected by our common struggle. i wanted to recover for every woman who didn’t get the chance. we all deserve recovery. we all deserve a life without eating disorders. manifesting health and growth for all of you ❤️

today i began my new medications. i’d like to start my new journey towards healing myself and recognizing my state of mental health. as part of this journey i’m going to outline a few manifestations that i will be repeating daily.

- I will not be ashamed of my mental health

- I will be brave and ask for help when I need it

- I will have awareness if I slip into a manic or depressive episode so that I can seek help

- I will be successful

- I will be mentally stable

- I will seek support from my doctors and be honest with them

- I will not restrict my diet

- I will not feel guilty for needing nourishment

- I will remember to take my medication every day, twice

Whatever happened yesterday, whatever is happening tomorrow, you still need to eat today.

tw: eating disorders, thinspiration

please be mindful when using recovery hashtags ❤️ these should be safe spaces for those in recovery to seek support. listing your restrictive diet for the day and exercise is not content for the recovery hashtags. thinspiration should not be on recovery hastags. i know that a lot of you are in a deep scary point of your eating disorder, and many of you are extremely young. i’m manifesting your growth and recovery from these disorders. i hope you learn self love and change to use your voice on these hashtags to spread positivity. visit my pinned post for NEDA resources if you are ready to seek help ❤️

In the depths of an eating disorder, simple bodily experiences such as hunger or fullness can come to mean a lot more. There are stories that we tell ourselves about these experiences, we make meaning of our bodies that are not true but they impact the way we act regardless. ⁠ ⁠ Next time you find yourself making meaning of feelings or bodily experiences, take a moment to stop and ask “What does this actually mean, outside of my eating disorder?"⁠ ⁠ [Image description: Two columns opposing each other on a light green background, one labelled "What your eating disorder tells you ‘hunger’ means”. In this column is: that you are weak, that you are not sick enough, that your body is betraying you, that if you start eating you will lose control, that you have to wait until you can eat 'good’ foods, that you have to earn the opportunity to eat. The other column is labelled “What 'hunger’ actually means” the only point in this column reads: that you are hungry.]
