Anorexia recovery - reality.

It was an extremely difficult day.
Appointments, anorexia running rife in my head. Breakdowns and all.
It’s a longer video as me and mum decided to record how I was feeling there and then. It helped in so many ways but even I cried watching it back.
This illness is so cruel. We will beat it, it’s just hard at the moment. #recoveryispossible #anorexiarecovery #eatingdisordertreatment #edrecovery #inpatient #eatingdisorderrecovery #recovery #dayinthelife

This video is so moving and so relatable. It could be me talking!! I've had a recent relapse and understanding that I'm not the well person I was is so difficult and my body and brain got so starved so quickly that I lost all sense of reality and my cognitive function and physical ability got so affected. At times I expect myself to be able to make the right choices and be able to do all the things I used to do before hospital, but like you am still not in a good place physically and mentally so the recovery process at home is so so difficult because of the state I'm in. I wish it were easier for both of us and we could be the happy and rational people we were before relapsing but the reality is that we're not...... AT THE MOMENT but the only thing we can do is to keep going as the more we override the anorexia, the better our physical and mental state will become and we'll be able to see more clearly what we need to be doing and we won't be so anxious at every single meal or snack. I know this from previous experience of the refeeding process. We just need to hang on and have faith and trust in the people who are trying to help us. Go with the process, day by day, hour by hour. It will be so worth it I promise you x

I’ve just watched your YT video where you are celebrating a year out of hospital. Wow, look how far you have come! You are truly amazing. Wishing you all the happiness in 2023. I can’t wait to see what this next year brings for you. Keep taking it a meal at a time. X

I feel your pain, even with best intentions it’s battling against a very strong instinct to not eat and to move.
