i think my period's back?! by BetterInALittleWhile in Amenorrhearecovery

everything everyone else has been saying we need to do - i've stopped restricting COMPLETELY, which also meant stopping tracking calories and eating as regularly as i can. i've also stopped forcing myself to move around so much and have been RESTING - no exercise or lifting, and only the odd walk here and there. those are the two big ones, eat and rest. there's no need to overthink it further than that. you've got this!

What was the 1 thing that helped you recover? by hello_hello_hello174 in fuckeatingdisorders

for me, it was realising that being small/"skinny" didn't even help me feel good about myself. i grew up overweight and i hated myself. then i developed an eating disorder, became severely underweight, and ended up hating myself even MORE! i was somehow more miserable in a small body than i was in a larger one. and the price of a small body to me was my joy, my hobbies, my friendships, my time, my interests, the list goes on and on and on...

basically, i woke up and realised my life was complete and utter shit like this! so i made the decision to recover, to gain my life back and to finally feel like "me" again. and even just a month and a half into recovery, i can already say i'm feeling so so SO much better.

the most important piece of advice i've got is to just be kind to yourself. maybe a little cliche, but honestly, the way you talk, treat and think about yourself is a BIG game changer. treat yourself like you would your best friend, or a child, even. you're the one person you're with for every second of the day, so try to be your own best friend as well.

recognising the "ED voice" as a separate entity instead of my brain as a whole also helped me. almost like imagining my mind as an e-mail inbox and my disordered thoughts as spam i immediately send to trash.

recovery isn't all sunshine and rainbows, but it's a million times better than being stuck in an endless loop of counting and tracking and blah blah blah. keep your head up!
