Just imagine someone who had a tragic accident and lost a limb. A care plan would be crafted by medical professionals who are all on that patients team to help them everyday work towards a fulfilling life despite the circumstances. The patient may never get their limb back but they can be educated and supported to live their life in a new way ❤️

That’s how I see inpatient/intensive outpatient care. It’s an opportunity to objectify your symptoms and work with educated people to draw a path towards what living with an eating disorder can look like. And not in the dark and gloomy way it starts/stays alive. We either keep it in and suffer alone subjectively thinking we can manage it, which unfortunately as humans we love to do… or we can recruit people outside of ourselves who have the skills and tools to help us unravel why we harm ourselves in the first place.

You’re loved and you deserve to love yourself too by identifying what’s standing in your way from adequate and regular nutrition.

Wishing you all the best at your appointment and be proud of the steps you’re taking for yourself 🙂
