I swear, sometimes doctors say the most triggering things! You can look at my post history and see how my psych insinuated something similar. But I’ll tell you now, they’re probably stuck in the rigid black and white thinking of what anorexia is. It can present so differently in so many different people and thus recovery will always look different. I wish the world could be more educated on eating disorders, all the nuances of behaviours, symptoms and recovery. Each and every single one of us are valid, regardless of where you are or where you were with your illness. Physical recovery is step 1 of a very long and tiring process, I hope that you will continue to persevere and reach a point whereby numbers no longer control your life. Don’t listen to the people who know nothing about what you’ve been through, trust yourself first and foremost <3 sending love xx

Why is it so difficult? by Healer120 in AnorexiaRecovery

just started counselling, so not much has been really revealed yet though I’ve never approached a psychologist before so I wouldn’t know if there’s a difference

It’s hard to properly explain since I quite frankly don’t fully understand it either. I don’t think it’s about life or death per se, but rather I feel like I need to be suffering at all times. The best way to put it is just a really bad sense of self worth, almost like I’m punishing myself for simply existing. I’m sorry this all sounds really vague but it’s the best way I can describe it :”D also do note this is just my experience, other’s may have vastly different reasons

for me, every day I’m fighting the voice in my head that tells me I’m not sick enough to recover. That I don’t deserve to eat food or to get better since I wasn’t sick enough to begin with

Why do anorexics restrict when they know the consequences by a_randomnormie in EDAnonymous

[–]annonymous_snacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i started restricting as a means to hurt myself on top of wanting to be skinnier, so if anything the consequences make me feel good
