eating disorder recovery chat / advice | go through my recovery scrapbook with me | @gainswithsurina

Hey my lovelies,
I found my old recovery scrapbook full of my motivations and activities I completed in my early recovery days when I had nothing else to do and thought it was worth sharing some more of what I've done through my recovery to help me. This is only one tiny snippet but I will start sharing some more I've done through therapies, groups, body image work, occupational therapy etc. I've done a lot over the years and have it all stored away so will begin to uncover it all!
I highly recommend doing these activities as much as it sounds 'silly' to the ED brain or just to you; I never saw the point but actually it's things like this that kept me in touch with ME when the ED would try take back over.
I hope this helps in some way.
love you alllllll,
Surina xxx

Love this! I can’t do things like this as I’m not creative or good at art. So when I’ve done it in the past I get upset with myself with how bad it looks. Also your treatment centre sounds good! Mine was awful half the time groups did not run and they were not helpful 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@gainswithsurina3768]

It definitely had its pros and cons I suppose, but overall they helped me a lot 🥰

Any tips for things you used would be great. I'm recovering, and I've been stunned by what odd and unlikely things do help. I started a recovery scrapbook because a teenaged girl suggested it. I was pleased it had helped her - but I'm 48 and WAY beyond colouring in lol. Its been SO helpful and enjoyable.

[@gainswithsurina3768]

Activities can go beyond colouring etc! I find the actual content of them really helpful and I can’t stress the importance of writing and journaling enough 💝

[@amy-lynnhoward]

Thank you. I'm going to write that on my mirror. Just, thank you.

[@gainswithsurina3768]

You’re sooo welcome ❤️
