Thank you so much for reading. I have a guest post coming up in regard to over-exercising and anorexia from a male’s perspective that I think you’ll be interested in.

I do think I went a bit nutty. But I did get over that thankfully. Sending you good wishes about handling the challenges of an eating disorder. It can be scary.

That would be wonderful. If you need any help or a hand at all, let me know. I would be more than happy to help. x

Thank you for reading. I have many more of these articles to come as it’s coming up to EDAWeek and I want to spread as much awareness as I possibly can.

Take your meds, even if they are horrible. I hate mine but I have to take them otherwise I just fall into a deep, deep low and can’t seem to get out.
Sending you lots of love and hope. x

Thank you for sharing. I have more to come and many more on the site as I’m sure you know. I also have worksheets available both digitally and printable which can help them work through different recovery aspects in their head. It’s called the 10 Days of Recovery and you can see my own responses (listed on the menu above).

I hope this information or any others that you chose to share can help in some way. Eating disorders are terrible things. x

It’s a big step. Sometimes I still think that I’m not ready for healing and want to revert back, and other day’s I’m fighting tooth and nail to eat because I want to get better. Ultimately it comes down to “Do I want to live the rest of my life like this? Or do I want to live my life to the fullest, not caring what anyone thinks and eating what I damn well want?”. I flip flop between the two constantly, luckily more so the positive ‘healing’ voice as of late. But you can’t force anyone to want to get better nor can you force them to get better and remain there. I’ve heard so many stories of people going into recovery, getting weight restored and then relapsing because it was forced on them.

Like I said, it’s a big step and often complicated. I have a whole series called “The 10 Days of Recovery” which you can find in my menu bar. I go through various stages of coming to terms with the need for recovery. I hope that can help shed some light.

As always, thank you so, so much for reading.

I think it is really hard to get people to recognize them. I would love to hear your story of how you came to recognize your need for healing, either in a link that you have already shared or when you are ready to approach that. Sometimes we can recognize the symptoms and signs, but the person is just not ready to acknowledge that and move towards healing. Is there any way we can help that or does it have to come from within the person? Ah, so many questions!
