Struggling with Anorexia and Self-Harm

@Ory I rlly liked how you mentioned Anorexia being a mental illness and not physical, I feel like that’s not acknowledged nearly enough. The problem doesn’t go away just because someone appears to be eating “fine”, you never know what’s in their head during that time. Tysm for this 💕

@Kaiiyla it will never be “too long” these are your thoughts miss girl. it will get better in the future. say positive affirmations to yourself each day such as “i am a survivor and i’m a warrior. i don’t need my eating disorder to be good enough.” “i am courageous and from today i will stand up for myself” “my life is just beginning, not ending.” “i will not define myself from the past.” “how i feel about myself has nothing to do with what i eat or don’t eat.” “the process of recovery may be challenging, but it’s worth it and i know it.” and also have intentions such as “i am entering recovery.” “to be kind to your body.” “to seek happiness.” etc. it helps me to right these affirmations and intentions down in a notebook just for ed stuff. have a specific time in your day to write these things down. believe you will get better (which you will and i know it<3)
