ONE YEAR IN ANOREXIA RECOVERY - Q&A, an honest update

[@sm0ky591]

haven’t even started the video yet and i can already tell it’s going to be amazing :) i am so incredibly happy for you for choosing recovery and happiness. thank you so much for being a beacon of hope and such a beautiful soul

[@RoMitchell]

thanks for being so lovely !!

[@mialupitaa]

You were the reason I decided to start recovery, hearing how much better you've gotten since then made me want to recover too. I would watch you're videos and eat with you and the more I did the less scarier it got. So I wanna say thank you for everything you do

[@read.with.bella28]

You've got this

[@ari9313]

I believe in you 💛💛💛 You can do this 💕💕

[@miavanderwal4184]

This !!

[@evagunther7784]

I'm also in recovery. Not from an eating disorder, but from complex trauma. But you still inspire me so much to keep going and showing up for me everyday !

[@RoMitchell]

super super proud of you. even though it’s different, the aim of trying to do better for yourself and forgive yourself is equally important. all my love 🤎

[@akiel6944]

The all “what would you say to ro from a year ago” response really move me. I’ve turned 19 recently and decided to get ride of alcohol to stop living through anxiety, stress, withdrawal and all those terrible consequences on health. Seeing someone being able to get out of such dark path and talking about what a year pushing through can change everything really push me forward to keep doing it. I hope being able to see myself in a year and appreciate that I’ve been able to achieve that. I also totally agree that some people from the healthcare system don’t really get and always makes you feel like it’s gonna be unbearable forever and I’m grateful that i now have found a good team which support my decisions, help getting through hard times but still I’m able to keep the leadership of this journey. For anyone struggling out there, there’s only a path to recovery, not always the easiest, you’ll have to give up on a lot but also gaining yourself back, which I think should be the main aim❤️

[@celeste5401]

I’m so proud of you for fighting for your life for an entire year. You have helped me more than you will ever know. I decided to stop restricting on April 8, 2021, very shortly after finding your channel. Thank you for being a resource when I felt like I didn’t have a single one left❤️

[@kayleesykes2739]

You repeatedly set the standard for the right way to do things. You’re the only channel I watch that is this compassionate and empathic and TRULY cares about others recovery.

[@butterflysoobin9858]

It's actually crazy how far i've come! i used to watch your videos right at the start of my recovery; i genuinely can't believe how far i've gotten in recovery-i'm back at school and i'm finally getting to do the things i wanted to do all on my own!! 2022 is going to be a great year!

[@lizziemclay2587]

7:57 this actually helped me so much. I didn't even realise that I was doing this but now I realise that stress is pretty much the only reason I feel tempted to relapse or have bad body image days. Now that I know this, I can do something about it . Thank you Ro :)

[@asaxearts]

You actually had so much help. Your parents are much more support than I ever had ir have. For someone to positively cheer you through every meal is above and beyond whatever outside help you could possibly get. I hope you realize how lucky you are. I had a brief period of my brother trying to coach me through eating meals and he was always furious with me about it. Your parents did it with love.....

[@sousousousou2910]

I'm so deeply proud of you, you've come such a long way! I love to see your smile and happiness. Thank you for showing us a glimpse of your journey and the help that you did to the people suffering from an ed. xx

[@gracieeeee2772]

you are genuinely my favourite recovery account. you don’t show any triggering pictures or videos, you just show how amazing and beautiful recovery can be. ur an angel, hope you are doing good

[@libbyt2581]

I've been in recovery for 9 years, I'm 22 now. It's probably the hardest thing we might ever have to do and it feels like a lot of time was wasted just feeling shit and anxious and worried about food. But I'm really glad you chose to embark on this journey when you did. These next few years of early adulthood are going to be AMAZING for you if you can keep pushing on through it. I know some days you might feel a bit wobbly but just remember how much you have fought to be here now ❤ excited to see where you take your channel/content next as well

[@camilarevainera6308]

Hey there! I'm from Argentina and I was suffering from Anorexia too. I have been in recovery for 7 months so far and I just wanted to say that your videos inspired me a lot! I started watching your recovery journey before I started my own and it helped me a lot to make the decision of finally start it and getting healthy. I know your struggle and I just wanted you to know that with this videos you're helping a lot of people like me. Thank you so much for doing this

[@agnesstenlund4627]

I don’t think I’ve ever felt this touched by and proud of a person I don’t know before ❤️ like you saying “I’m not gonna let a donut stand in the way” and suddenly I was weeping because a such nice soul is finally taken care of and it’s a blessing to watch. And even when your videos are focused on food, it just seems like other things also have a place in your mind simultaneously, and I didn’t get that feeling in you earlier videos. I got the impression that 110% of your focus was on the food (in the beginning), while now you describe that it’s just something that you consume and is not up for debate (which should be the case, of course - or of course for me who doesn’t have an eating disorder, but not for everyone). You’re just bossing it, killing it, doing it. Keep going Ro, we’re rooting for you! 💖

[@noblebro3287]

I found a place with my body where I realized, loving it was never about liking every aspect of how it looked but it is a connection with it that I never ever knew was possible to have. It took some hard effort in healing. One of the things I am most happy about accomplishing, is actually alleviating my body dysmorphia, when dysmorphia is the only feeling I ever remember having about my body. I don´t remember a single time growing up feeling connected to my body. Now I do. And no, the body dysmorphia doesn´t just go away. I`ve just realized and accepted that my body is me and I am the only one that is going to take care of myself. I feel my that my body trust me again and that is amazing. If you are out there, thinking you are never going to like your body, constantly mirrorchecking and feeling that everytime you try to like your body, you are only trying to deceive yourself, know that that is not true. Loving your body is probably not what you think, I know it can feel unattainable but if you believe, have a realistic approach to it and believe it, you will be able to reconnect with your body. It is the greatest feeling in the world to be able to feel comfortable in your own skin, not caring about the flaws or the parts you find ugly.

[@lanitakovac]

hey ro! just wanted to say that i’m extremely proud of you even tho i don’t know u. you inspire so many people with your consistency and by showing how difficult it is, but you still keep fighting

[@RoMitchell]

thank you so much x

[@dorothy.rose80]

I am so proud of you! I am grateful for you, as well. Not only did I follow you on your journey, I joined you in recovery. I struggle and had setbacks, but for the most part I did well. I can eat what I want within my set caloric needs and I can exercise, choosing joyful movement, without overdoing it. I don't always love the way my body looks, but I love what it is capable of doing. I have learned to love myself again, for my good qualities and accept my flaws. The biggest thing I've learned, just like you, is that I'm in competition with nobody.

[@steffiebean2816]

Last night i was soooooo close at slipping…recovering from binge eating and bulimia…”you’ll sleep better if you don’t feel so full” (had not binged) and was soooo close…I brushed my teeth and ignored my bulimic voice and I slept fine…you’re channel has helped me!!! I’m in week 3 of recovery doing it all by myself (12years of being ill everyday!)…so thanks

[@sintara8442]

Low times are normal but getting through those times will get easier! You are doing great

[@steffiebean2816]

@@sintara8442 thanks it’s not easy only bit that is better is that I used to deep clean my toilet every night for fear that of i died in my sleep that there would be no evidence of my ED and that who ever emptied/cleaned my house after i had died that no one would ever find out… that darkness has lifted…

[@ags2121ze]

I think that message of relapse is very helpful as it dispels that myth that having bad days and acting on your thoughts is ok and a part of recovery as it's not meant to be linear. I agree that it's about NOT acting on the thoughts. Otherwise those times that you choose ana become your life again.

[@brookenewlove2100]

So glad ur back been missing ur vids, sending lots of love u have helped me more than you can ever know xx💛

[@abigailsalt8846]

Never give up. You are SO much greater than anything that is trying to bring you down. They are essentially things in your head that don't physically exist (although I know this isn't how we think when we feel rubbish). But you are here, really here, physically present and living. You are so much greater. ❤

[@nicoleannkyle]

I will admit I was getting a bit concerned when I hadn’t seen any videos for a while, but I figured you were busy with university finals, then the holidays, and start of a new semester/term. It’s okay to struggle with mental health, I also struggle with it (I made the decision to go off of anti-depressants two years ago, and I completely understand the nausea, lack of appetite, etc.), plus we are in the middle of a pandemic. We don’t want to get sick, we have loved ones who are getting sick or dying, lock downs are taking the toll on all of us, and the not knowing is hard even on the strongest individuals. Im so proud of you and everything you have accomplished this past year. Thank you for allowing us to support you when you are down, for your rawness and honesty. You don’t realize how many lives you have touched or saved. Thank you for blessings us in ways you could never imagine. Good luck this coming semester/term. You Got This!

[@marthahope2212]

Thank you for being honest about where you no longer struggle, it's so refreshing to see someone in recovery saying where they don't struggle anymore rather than where you do !!

[@charlottehart311]

Ro, I just want to say thank you so much. I am almost a year in to recovery as well, and it was your videos that helped inspire me. I would eat and cry along with you while getting stronger each day. We don’t know each other but without your support and videos, I would not be where I am today!

[@fammue]

I am so happy for your recovery, and I am quite positive about the fact that your experiences will help many others to change the road from death to life. Your videos have also helped me to realize early enough that my weight loss journey (that I truly needed to get into a healthy and strong state) is sliding into an unhealthy attitude towards food as I realized certain habits that I started to have were similar to some things you talked about. I was quite shocked about this but was able to push the brake early enough. Thank you for your openness. ❤

[@MentalHealthJourney]

Kudos to managing eating disorder and other mental health problems. As someone with complex mental health problems that affect all my life AND a long term ED I totally get it and how each other influences the other. You are not alone. I’m currently in a mental health unit and trying to turn round a serious ED relapse that landed me in general hospital, it’s hard - and I’m still very much at the beginning and taking baby steps but your videos are literally keeping me going every meal time. You are such a mature head on those young shoulders. Hats off to everything you’re doing! X

What I learned last year with it, is that each new moment is a new opportunity to do what's best for you. Cause perfection doesn't exist and we can make a mistake, but it's never too late to stop being destructive.

[@deyanira008]

I am sooo happy and soo lucky to have found you as someone I feel who is an amazing supportive and understanding woman. I won't know how you start but....I truly feel for you when you first began your journey, at least featured on KZbin, recovering from anorexia. You fought hard and you risk your old life for this new life you knew nothing about...but the outcomes were pretty much everything you have always wanted. I dony want to put words in your mouth or say the wrong things so I'll do my best but a lot of the things you said throughout the whole year here I so can relate and feel like a have more hope that things can change. Their are a few people I found on KZbin that have made me feel this way and your certainly one of them. You talked about so many things that I felt like I was such a loony about and you shared things that I have used to help me through my hard points..still today...for example I remember when you when to eat out with your family and you ordered the highest calorie on the menu and told yourself, like you do, that if you choose the higher calorie meal and knowing that you did it made you feel like you can have absolutely anything and nothing bad happens and even having it again. Despite all the uncomfortable feeling you sticked with it..whether it was eating out or eating at home. Ooh gosh, my favorites were the talks whilst eating the challenge food or when you didn't feel so good. Your family was so supportive too. You talks were soo lovely and encouraging. Tbh, I never has a saying for me to keep pushing with having to challenge a unhealthy behavior for me but not til the end of 2020 I thought.."the more I eat the better I'll feel" actually was something that push me to keep going...never did I thought it would work...it's not perfect all the time but it's like what you did with the talks to yourself. I had to even say those kinds of this out loud haha...I am a lot stronger and I appreciate that you have been that person to bring hope in me even those tiny moments. However, sry...it's about you. I always believed that you could do this. Its so nice and heart warming that you say that you don't feel scared with food like you did, that you eat when you want and have what you know now like and enjoy and how much.....it's so beautiful. These things is something to strive for...living not surviving...easier said than done but it can and I hope it can happen to me... I am so glad and joyous that you have someone (bf) who appreciates you, and I know they would, that you open your heart to them by letting him do thing for you and gift you with love(loads of stuff..food, hugs, feelings, their ear, their thoughts, suggestions, their story, friendship...). Your such a wonderful, inspiring, wise, intelligent, beautiful, caring, interesting, factual, determined, helpful, creative, funny, friendly woman who deserves nothing but the best. Thank you Ro, happy one year. Sry it was super long. Love you loads. 🖤 🤗 👏💚 💙 🐾 💭🗣️🆓🥊👥😌🥺✨💪🧘🍌🥯🍫🍣🥄☕🏡🎥📱🔁🆓☮️🖕🏞️

Sorry to hear you're down at the moment; please don't feel forced to share those things when you feel uncomfortable to do so; I do of course hope you can share with your closest ones when you need to - it can take such a burden off of you as compared to trying to deal with the anxiety and negative thoughts on your own, and you are allowed to reach out to people and accept their support. ❤ Not sure where I'm going with this mini ramble... I'm so glad your recovery continues to go really well, and I hope the down mood and anxiety will get better soon, too. Give it time - for many people (like me, though perhaps not for you), these things will just be a part of their lives on and off. After a while you know that it is just a temporary state, even if it may not feel like it in the moment. X

Just this afternoon, I was missing you and decided to check your new videos. When I didn't see any, I started binge-watching old videos. I love you Ro!

Ur hair has grown back so much! Your glowing! Im proud of u

You are simply amazing. I have been eating pretty intuitively for the last few years but this past anorexia telling me that I might be happier if I get smaller is still there somewhere in me, and I can get a bit obsessive with working out when I'm feeling particularly vulnerable and in the mood for bullying my body. Like these metaphors and the way you explained your recovery process in this video were so spot on and resonated with me so much. I have already said this on another video, but I wish so much that there had been an online figure like you when I was in my recovery. Social media was already there but ED recovery community was yet to be formed. I had all this toxic tumblr culture and ~hashtag fitspiration~ trend right at the tip of my finger instead :P

Hi Ro, firstly I wanted to tell you that how happy I feel for you. You are very strong and one of the sweetest and beautiful youtubers I’ve ever seen. I also want to thank you for your content because you are one of the people who encouraged me to recover from my eating disorder. Your videos helped me a lot during my recovery journey, thank you for being here and staying as the incredible person you are. Stay safe, have an amazing day💗

I remember watching your first video and I thoughto to myself: "This girl is so brave, I have to support her" and I am SO HAPPY for you! And from someone who has recovered from self harm and suicidle fantasies, I have NEVER relapsed, it just stuck with me that I can't he that cruel to my body, so I totally believe that a relapse is certainly not inevitable in recovery.

[@RoMitchell]

i agree ! + thank you so so much x

[@angiJ]
