LEARNING TO BECOME MORE THAN ANOREXIA \\ seeing a gastro & journalling to heal my mental health

[@WestonnMusic]

Hi Jess, I just wanted to say thank you so much for choosing to use my song in your video! I'm really glad you liked it. Also thank you for using your platform to speak on such an important topic!

Sweetie, my heart goes out to you with your ibs struggles. Have you ever taken kefir? I started making it at home and wow it is amazing. Healing the gut will really help. And, if you like okra, try having fried okra- it does wonders. I had issues as well, but laxatives were far too triggering for me. Incorporating a simple bran cereal was also quite helpful for me. But do try the kefir... and consider a complex (multi strain) probiotic as well! I’ll be thinking about you...

[@jesstathem9457]

OOoo thank you for your advice! I have had Kefir a few times but I might try it again x

I journal eeeevery day. It's been so helpful for my recovery. 10/10 recommend 😊

[@jesstathem9457]

Yessss! I am so excited to start - I think it’s gonna be so helpful x

[@shellbellb8559]

Your journals are just like the ones I got!

[@jesstathem9457]

Oooo yay! How’s your journaling going?

[@shellbellb8559]

It's totally my morning routine everyday before work 😊

hey !! i hope you’re well x just wanted to ask ... don’t u think by posting youtube videos etc. ur carrying on your recovery journey longer than it needs to be ? i’m just curious xx

[@jesstathem9457]

I understand that some may think this, but I definitely don’t think so. In fact, since sharing my journey my recovery has improved so so much as I feel so supported by everyone and feel a sense of community and love. I also think it’s important to show that recovery isn’t a quick fix and that it’s a long journey (which is something I didn’t know at the start). And I want to help break the stigma that mental illness is something that should be hidden. But thank you for your question xx
