Is full recovery impossible for you?

[@Demonslayerbornandraised]

Ive been frequently coming back to ur channel. Maybe one of these days, ill fully commit and let go of my eating disorder. Recovery sounds so much more tempting when hearing someone talk about it other than my own thoughts. Puts things into perspective. I really appreciate this channel, ur videos are a great tool for me. Keep it up!

You were the first pro recovery person on the internet I listened to years ago when I never wanted to recover and I'm glad you're still around (because I still need it haha)

You just broke my heart with this. I am cheering you on so much my arms might fall off.

Beautifully put Patrice.

I too didn't think recovery was possible, but I got as close to that then ever dream possible. It rook time and realize I that I was stronger then I thought. For me take slow step by small step, but you can arrive there 😊

Love this, it is so nice to be surprised by how far we can get!

Thank you so much for this Mia. I like the perspective change you have on this question that has been nagging me. This helps ❤ thanks again:)

thank you for this video. I have been in recovery from AN for 2 years. I am largely behavior free, but I dont call myself fully recovered because the mental struggle with guilt around food and poor body image is still present in my life. I also have been told before that full recovery after struggling as long as I did is near impossible, and it is about managing symptoms. However, I am getting to the point in recovery where I can consistently challenge my ED thoughts. This video helped me see that maybe someday full recovery is possible for me, even though it may not be right now.

I’m super curious to see this video! Whilst I believe full recovery is possible for many, after 26 years of AN (notwithstanding significant physical improvement over the past 9 years, since falling pregnant), at 34 years of age, I don’t believe I will ever get better beyond the “bare minimum”. Am I a diagnosable weight? No. Do I think about food and exercise all day, every day? No - I barely think about food at all, and with severe physical burnout, I don’t even have the luxury of regular exercise. Are my behaviours around food still reasonably “odd”? Yes. Is my body image horrific? Also yes. It’s so hard 😭
