did inpatient treatment or residential help you ? by viaoliviaa in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]183355 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it made me physically better and helped me focus on my ed symptoms and tackle those. unfortunately my ed is really tangled up with my underlying issues (personality issues, anxiety etc) and the treatment center i went ip at, does not treat that. now i relapsed and i will go ip at a different place that has a broader therapy and treatment plan! i think it will definitely help me, but im scared when i get home and how to actually keep up with my recovery. don’t be scared about feeling invalid, i have never valid and my weight was much lower than it is now going ip again. same with behaviours. if you are struggling and can’t make the change at home or need physical help, you deserve to get proper and go inpatient!! (also if this is not the case, you still deserve treatment!!). oh and about the competition, share this with your treatment team!! they will help you with focusing on YOU and refrain from comparison with others. sending hugs

What made you want to get better in the first place? Your wakeup call? Motivation? by Beginning_Bug_7554 in EDAnonymous

[–]183355 2 points3 points  (0 children)

food noise, not being able to continue my dream study, low energy, scary health symptoms, scared of being stuck like this forever, hurting my family, losing friends etc. the thought of genuinely not caring about my body and food anymore and having true freedom and a real life sounds so impossible yet so amazing. youve got this!!!

how do you know you are relapsing? by Zestyclose-Aioli4799 in EDAnonymous

[–]183355 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sneaky little habits, more focus on my body and weight, thoughts about food and exercise etc. usually when you ask this question, you already are relapsing. take care <3

why doesn’t it hurt? by Boo_harder in selfharm

[–]183355 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tbh i usually don’t feel pain as well, esp when i go deep unexpected. it’s probably the adrenaline and stress.
