everyone says eating disorder recovery is so great and freeing but for me my mental health is even worse now. i miss my old self and the confidence i had in the way i looked and the way my body looked.

It’s so hard for a long time but I really hope you can stick with it because a lot of aspects of recovery do get easier and it’s worth it

interesting i feel like people usually aren’t at their most confident at the peak of their ED

This was me at the beginning, but now on the other side of it, I can 100% say it gets easier and this feeling does go away, you just gotta stick with it and trust that you deserve happiness no matter how you look, what you eat, or how you feel about yourself. Wishing you healing vibes girl ❤️

It makes it easier for me to see recovery as a value that I hold rather than a destination and sometimes my eating disorder makes me think/act in ways that don’t align with my values and just bc I slipped up doesn’t mean I’ve lost all the progress I’ve made

probably true for most people. that said, my diagnosis is atypical ana so i was never at a super low weight and was never super skinny or anything. so now instead of looking healthier i just look bigger again.
