finding myself away from my eating disorder (answering your questions)

[@Pluto-tj9mq]

Everything about u just drips compassion - even down to the time of week u post (it’s so thoughtful to do Sunday evenings when mentally vulnerable people are ruminating over the past week and week ahead ) . It’s really fascinating to hear your view of the world ! ♥︎♡︎♥︎♡︎

[@RoMitchell]

you’re always so kind, thank you 🌟💌

[@hannahb.4329]

I think this video is actually one of the most important ones you‘ve done, showing that you are not your eating disorder and neither is any other person with an ed

[@RoMitchell]

[@tawwy7844]

yesss this is so needed ro!!! you’re so much more than an eating disorder and we love you for so much more than just your amazing message

[@RoMitchell]

thank you so so much

[@iordanka22]

I've been here since your first video and YOU ARE MY BIGGEST INSPIRATION TO RECOVER Everytime I watch your videos it reminds me why I choose to recover

[@RoMitchell]

this makes me so happy !! + thanks for always supporting me :)

[@OrlaRodgers]

Would you ever start a podcast Ro?? You’re so full of wisdom and such a lovely comforting soul ♥️♥️ Big love to you and Sauerkraut and all your jellycats xxx

[@RoMitchell]

i don’t know if i would, i’ve had lots of people ask so maybe one day !! lots of love back 💌🌟

[@nikanovak8340]

hi just wanted to adress that i feel like that im actually finally recovered🥹 i am so so incredibly happy and grateful for living. i feel so free. i let go of control and the hardest part was probably that i left my old life which was all i knew for years. it was letting go of who i was, my identity. its insane how much i have changed in every way. and im not the same as pre ed. im a new and better person now! hope you all here will be able to feel like this! i believe in every single person in here.❤️ ty ro for being such an inspiration☺️

[@RoMitchell]

oh my gosh, lovely i am SO proud of you 🌟 you did it !!! you grew into your best, fullest self !!! sending you so much love 💌

[@sarahjones6686]

The way you talk about your mental health reminds me of my daughter, how she is just tired of living inside her own head. She's only 9, very intelligent, but struggles to explain her feelings. She's just started her own therapy. I really hope your mood improves and the therapy has a positive effect. Sending love and care ❤

[@chispamia]

Is your daughter perhaps autistic?

[@abundantlove2194]

You know, oftentimes I can't even explain WHY I feel sad-overwhelmed-emotional-hopeless. From the outside it can appear that one has no reason to be unhappy, but that's the thing it is so not about outside stuff, but more just the inside of our brains. No one would choose to be depressed or anxious, no one can swoop in and just magically fix it for us. But it does help to know others struggle also, we all just do the best we can day to day. Thank you for sharing yourself with us all. 💜💜

Hey Ro, can't wait to hear more about you as person, away from Eating disorder....!!! Love your necklaces by the way... Good for you for getting back into making them, and the recognition that you need a distraction right now xxx

Been struggling with finding my identity as I enter later stages of recovery... It's so hard, but I feel like because it's less immediate, others around have forgotten I'm still mentally battling. Really needed to hear this today to help ground me a bit xxxxxxxxx

[@adeleboulter3366]

My grandparents have a cocker spaniel and he loves to guard things, like the pillows from the sofa. It’s so nice to get to know you better. Loved the chilled vibe to this video. I love your Ed content but it was also nice to see something a bit different for a change as a bit of escapism. Love you Ro xxx

Hairstylist here! You totally have the potential to unlock those cutie curls you had as a child. You need shorter layers. When your hair has less weight those curls will spring back up with a curl cream:)

[@jessdixie4113]

Thanks for sharing yourself so openly Ro. Your honesty and vulnerability is so refreshing and makes us realise that we can also be honest and vulnerable. With others and with ourselves. You are a kind, inspiring and beautiful soul and you bring so many people joy, comfort and hope - myself included 🌿

You'll never truly know the impact you've had on people - you are inspiration girl

[@RoMitchell]

🥺 thank u so much

[@miccilou]

Ro, I know how you feel. I have severe anxiety and worked out today that I haven't seen my best friend in person since before Christmas! I had to give up everything I did because my brain just doesn't work and I am constantly hating on myself for it. I'm waiting for a therapist and in the meantime I am trying to just get through every day. So I'm sorry im a negative nelly too but you're not alone in hating on your brain, because mine is hella shit too! Whatever you have going on, you can get through it. From everything I've seen, how you've fought your ED, you're an inspiration and if anyone can win against their brain its you. Sending you all the best wishes in the world lovely, keep going xx

[@thisbe244]

haha i’ve been waiting for this vid !! your recovery videos are so helpful but it’s so amazing to see you branching out :) i think its so important that we remember who we are outside of ed/mh recovery and this is such a perfect example !! so grateful for u

[@MynameisLeti]

Hello! Ro, i just wanted to thank you for helping me saving my life! Of course, I was diagnosed with anorexia Nervosa and... Life is hard, but I watched your channel and I saw how brave you are and how you persisted on getting well and you inspired me and gave me courage and... Don't know, i'm close to a normal IMC now I have a lot less food fobia and I think I'm gonna be ok. I just wanted to thank you! You go girl! 🤗 Amazing people are real! ❤️

[@theresaguadalupe6316]

Hello Ro dear! I usually never comment on videos, but I've been watching yours since January of 2021. Just wanted to say, doing crafts is one of the things that really helped keep me afloat during the most terrible time of my life, a couple years ago when I was 20. I knitted, crocheted and painted items to sell or to give as gifts to keep my mind on something real, beautiful, peaceful and productive. You make beautiful jewelry, and I'm sure so many others will think so as well! Keep that creativity coming, it's so therapeutic:) Anyways, hugs and prayers....God holds you in the palm of his hand."Though I should walk in the midst of the valley of shadow, yet will I fear no evil, for Thou, Lord are with me." 💕

[@Lily-xy8fq]

I started recovery just a few months after you. Like you I have other stuff going on and recently I have been really struggling and not enjoying living in my own head. I felt like I was doign recovery wrong but just hearing that you are having a similar experience makes me feel so much less alone. Thank you so much for being so honest. Also I have a friend with a banana phobia so it isn't so wierd! ❤

[@gabydollo]

Omg I’m so early!! I just wanted to say thank you Ro for your content, I’ve never struggled with an ED but I do have depression and seeing how hard you fight every day again your mental illnesses has inspired me to try and go “all in” on fighting to get my life back and to create my own happiness

Remember you're the sunshine in people's lives, even when you feel like you're not. We love you Ro 😊❤️☀️

Something you are beyond your eating disorder: hilarious! Your mannerisms and digressions and little one off comments are so funny, you really make me laugh. You’ve got such a brilliant, unique personality that is now being able to shine brightly now that you’re moving away from your eating disorder. Don’t let those AN thoughts trick you or try to reel you back in - the world needs bright sparks like you. I personally have found that learning about the neuroscience of AN has helped me with understanding a bit better the mechanisms at play behind some of the lingering AN thoughts and feelings. Walter Kaye has done some really interesting research. Xxx

❤ I'm going to keep this (semi?) short because the only comments I've made were just the last two or three (took me a while to get there lol) and were so long that they probably turned everyone off, but I tend to share so much and I guess have trouble w words. No idea if you'll see this, but I found that I could really relate to dealing and truly struggling w non ed shit (but still having had/still dealing w long effects from mine) that I feel preceeded but also almost affect me worse, esp mentally. Hearing you speak about it in such detail was so comforting in a sense because I cant really connect w many people in real life (w this topic) and tend to dump things on my parents which is not fair to them. If you have never experienced something, you can try to understand/sympathise but you will never really *get* it. Some goes for any illness of course.
