My first ed was in 2020 when I was 12 , it got soo bad I had to go to the hospital it nearly killed me , I started recovery about November 2020 but I never had a fully healthy relationship with food , last summer I started gating in to my unhealthy eating disorder habits again and I lost a lot of weight, by the end of the summer the beginning of August my parents noticed I tried to deny it I couldn’t so I confused and I tried to convince myself to stop, but when I noticed that I lost weight and sow my before and after pictures I couldn’t so by the start of the school year I started getting into even worst habit and since then it’s been 5 weeks instead of gaining weight I lost weight and I keep gating back and forth with the I want to recover and no I don’t but now all my clothes don’t fit me even the leggings and nothing looks good on me am trying to convince myself that I need to recover but it’s hard. And thank you soo much I loved you’re video it really helped me and I hope you do well on your journey 💗💗💗💗

I am sorry you are going through something so challenging and have been for a very long time. One of my biggest pieces of advice for recovery is that a life with an Eating Disorder is much scarier than a much shorter-term recovery. I don't know anyone in person or online who ever felt "ready" to recover. But I have also met NO ONE who regrets it. Of course, that includes myself! I NEVER thought that I would be here. I hope you realize that you can do what seems impossible. I wish you luck and strength ❤

I appreciate your maturity and the coherence of your speech and I was completely surprised by the feelings and "obsessions" you experienced from such a young age. I'm glad that in the end, you managed to overcome these challenges and that you were able to realize what is really good for you!. Congratulations and if you take advice from a parent, never forget that the best, honest and caring friends, without hidden interests will always be your parents!. I'm glad I got to know your story and you reconfirmed what I already knew, that we are unique, each with our experiences, obsessions, fears and finally with our defeats and victories!. Congratulations!.

I remember how scary it was when I got told I wasn’t able to cook anymore, even though it sounds stupid cooking was a comfort for me and having that comfort stripped from me was one of the hardest parts of recovery (even though I know it was for the best I still wish I had been allowed to keep cooking)

There are a lot of things we do when struggling that bring the Eating Disorder comfort, more than it does us. I am proud of you!! I hope you are doing better.

You're very well spoken for your young age and hold yourself in a mature way. My heart aches knowing at such a young age you went through that. I didn't think someone as young as 6 could get those ideas into their head. I wonder if its because of media or something, like where could a 6 year old come up with the idea of starvation and wanting to be that skinny. When I was 6, weight never crossed my mind. Did your family ever comment about your weight or were you around adults who talked about their own weight when you were 6? I just wonder how you made the connection "skinny = likeable" so young I struggled with anorexia from ages 13 - 18 so I relate to your story even though I was older than you when mine happened, but it lasted 5 years for me too

I appreciate your empathy, and I am sorry you struggled for so long as well. To answer your question, I did hear comments that my family made towards other people and towards themselves, which heavily impacted me.
