One Way I Beat My Eating Disorder

[@mackenzieangell3266]

I needed this as well - i am nearly in tears from my Eating Disorder. SOmeone please help me :(

[@emilyfletcher7124]

I really needed this right now. I've relapsed, haven't been eating breakfast or lunch and have been purging, so this is just so helpful, thanks Mia xx And I am super proud of Australian government progressing !!

[@torilee6677]

It's all part of the process. You've got this💕

[@RianaWeeana]

meowitsemily just keep in mind that recovery is never a straight line, it's full of dips and peaks, but as long as you keep on, you'll get there!

[@neomary66]

Stay strong, you can do this

[@rosalynmartin4600]

Dear Mia, Thank you so much for everything you put towards this channel. I found you about a month ago and you've been really comforting to me. I've relapsed worse than ever, but I'm still pushing through. Thank you for showing me recovery is possible xx

I found this so helpful and I'm eager to put it into practice. Thank you so much for taking the time to talk about it so generously. It's going to be freaky awesome when you're a 50-year old woman sitting at your home on the south coast with your cup of tea reading the part of your book you're writing *right now* that discusses imagining yourself as a 50-year old woman who is healthy, content and calm. :) Congrats on the writing and a shoutout to Kate's wisdom wherever she is!

Yep! I saw this as Mia writing a new book with the tea or whatever the young cyborgs (surely we'll all be young cyborgs soon) will be drinking at this time. It's going to be splendid and thanks for your part in the video scuff7. :)

[@scuff7]

Who's to say we're not *already* cyborgs... (gasp) Honestly, Mia *must* be bionically enhanced because there's no way that any real person could do all of the things that she does and not fall over like an oak tree on the receiving end of a lumberjack's mighty blow. ~ Thanks Bins Q! :)

Such a great tool. I remember the day my therapist asked me if I wanted a future or not. I had to decide and it was difficult. Your suggested visualization is really my next step. Many thanks. So perfectly helpful and much needed.

[@caseymcmullen2723]

I recently checked myself into treatment and videos like these really keep my spirits up to know that I can do this and that it will be worth it when I'm having moments of doubt. Thank you for all of your honesty and advocacy in your videos!

[@lilstar844]

I really admire you girl , your videos really do help people especially me . Love you ! 😊

[@TheBinski]

My therapist does this too! We are both skeptics. :) My version is obviously mental health documentary film maker and speaker. Thanks for this video, congratulations on the essays! Very proud of you for the 'not fun' part particularly. Nobody puts Mia's laptop in the corner, please keep going! I was wondering (from this video) how often you saw Kate at first and if you were working/studying at this very vulnerable time. Take ten years to answer, you are VERY busy and I think it's a good time to think about that series for the ABC. I know I am. :)

[@dawntudusk5266]

Thank you so much for sharing that technique! That is very exciting news for Australia, I sincerely hope so much good comes out of this. I hope your essay comes along smoothly, I bet you are doing a fantastic job! :)

Hello, Mia. Thank you so much for posting videos on KZbin. I'm really glad that I found you. I'm suffering from Bulimic sickness and also depression of very low self respect. I watched several people's videos who overcome bulimia. But the reason I subscribed you, writing this comment is that I empathized with your story and had so many things in common. I just can't get rid of self-hatred or the attitude that push myself in so low situations that for everyone is okay but not for myself. even wondering why I do live... sometimes suicidal thoughts. but again I think I don't even deserve suicide and think just go Africa or somewhere and utilize my dumb body to help others. silly me, writing this. sorry for long comment and just curious how did you recover especially when you said you thinking future of yourself. because my future is so dark right now.

[@ramonlong5463]

I think I'm in love♡ you speak from my heart in so many ways Mia... thnx from an older boy in the throws of anorexia - I'll try to get your presence in my head when it gets really bad....that'll maybe help- HOPE... THNX AGAIN SWEETS KEEP THE FAITH AND THE CYNICAL ATTITUDE SWEETHEART!!!! I LOVE IT ANYWAY :) PEACE

[@chloe_alien]

Thank you so much for this, I'm going to try and use this for myself 😊

[@theakinat5987]

I had come up with a similar exercise where you imagine that you are standing in one room with a copy of you. How does this copy behave? Does it talk to you? Is it hostile? I found that it is a great way to visualize how unfair and violent you are to yourself. My copy is a very unkind person. Most of the time you fail to see how badly you treat yourself, but it becomes more evident when you try to visualize it like that

[@tesshendriks8678]

are you going to do a "what i eat in a day of intuitive eating"?

[@gemstone1639]

you are amazing . thank you 💜

[@trigglypuffnohatespeech9984]

I feel terrible, because when I try to envision myself in the future, I see a very pretty, skinny woman who can wear all the clothes I won't allow myself to wear right now, I have no idea what her character is, and only a vague idea what her profession is. I feel so shallow

[@Jacobismypet]

i think i really need help. i've been restricting myself of food for the past few months, eating around 1000 calories and being constantly obsessive about food and my weight. i lost 5kg in these months. now, something on me has snapped and i'm binging every single day. i can't stop myself and i feel disgusting. my stomach feels overwhelmingly big and gross and i feel like there's no end point to it. i feel like this will be my life, binging every single day. i just don't know what to do, i feel awful. i've also lost my period as well. i think i might go see somebody about it because my family just don't understand and that i should just "control it" and get "over myself" and "it's fine because you're skinny and your metabolism is fast." it damages me even more.

[@christienbbrooks7334]

That is really awesome ,
