I would love to hear your mum and dads side of your recovery. They were both so supportive of you throughout and seem to still be great. But i’d also like to hear how they feel now that you have recovered.

[@saragill87]

Such a good idea

[@Pluto-tj9mq]

People gotta accept that not every day of your life is going to be spectacular or groundbreaking and that’s what makes them all the more worthwhile xxx appreciate you sm

[@RoMitchell]

yes !!! all my love ⭐️🫶🏻

[@abiowen7426]

I’m just over a month into recovery and your videos have kept me going, full of positive affirmations and reminders of why I need to recover and deserve love ❤️ Thank you for providing a space for people with EDs to feel safe, supported and understood, you have no idea how much this helps 🥰

[@RoMitchell]

this is such a lovely comment, it’s exactly why i make these videos :) thank you so much 🫶🏻

[@Feminazi1dc]

@@RoMitchell Hi idk if youll reply but i was wondering, do you feel the EMDR therapy is truly helpful? It sounds terrible

[@abigailmitchell2198]

@@Feminazi1dcI have had EMDR and it wasn’t helpful for me personally at all

[@sahib5]

I can’t tell you how much I love how NORMAL you are. The exact reason I watch every video you post is because it feels like hanging out with a normal person. It makes me feel safe in my own non aesthetic life - which is messy and boring and mundane a lot of the time. But your videos throughout time have truly helped me see the beauty in that. Because I see the little beauties in your little life. Your family dog. Boring little walks. Boring little meals. Boring little talks. Hamsters and clothes shopping and working on a laptop and cleaning and trying to make a small place feel like home - all of it in little snippets is so beautiful. It’s magical BECAUSE it’s just your regular life. And it puts me at ease in MY regular life. Your journey through ED has truly helped me heal my own ED and I feel fully healed after decades of BED. But I think this is the next phase of your journey. Influencing people to see the magic in the mundane. The beauty of the ordinary. You are exceptional at it and mostly because you’re not trying to make some big statement. Just by being you. Imperfect and kind and genuine and scared and nervous and strong at once. By being entirely you - and letting us go along with you - you set people free to be THEM. It’s beautiful. It matters. And so few can truly do that in a space like social media. You’re the anti influencer and that’s what we truly need. Just humans being humans. I watch your videos at night with earbuds in as I do my self care routine. I clean up, brush and floss, put on my Frownies, lotion, maybe Gua sha if I’m not too tired - drink water - and just care for myself in a kind way. You have helped me heal my relationship with food - and now you’re helping me heal my relationship with me. That’s the power of you just being you. You don’t NEED to be some superstar Instagram model. We have way too many of those. We need beautiful kind humans just being soft - and authentic. That’s what’s rare. You are rare Ro. And I’ll be grateful for as long as I get to be part of your lovely imperfect journey. You were meant for this work. And it’s a privilege to grow alongside you.

[@andreakletz5705]

I'm 40 and the ED has stolen way too many years. You have so much more life ahead of you, I'm so happy you'll be able to live it.

[@RoMitchell]

[@sarahperkins6209]

Lots of love to you. I had and ED in my teens. Although 'recovered' weight wise. I have alot of hang ups about my body and I still have disordered thinking. I'm nearly 37 xxx

[@sahib5]

45 here & as hard as it is to have lived with an eating disorder for so long - what I do know is there is still a LOT left to live. And I’m so happy to live it healed. I never thought I would ever get past my BED. But I have. And it feels wonderful - and I think there is still SO much ahead. ❤

[@julias8763]

42 here and it seems I am developing an ED 😢 changing is hard and my body is changing with years and it is hard to accept and the easiest way is restricting food and increase exercises… which is not that healthy for me as I am not overweight and have some health issues… so I try to keep balance and be wise with my choices… Ro is such an inspiration❤so young and so strong

[@serenityperry2948]

It's so nice to see someone that is around my age actually showing a realistic day. Seeing people on instagram being productive every minute of the day makes me feel like I'm never doing enough, so this is very refreshing and helpful! Also living for the dog content. So proud of you for making it this far and taking care of yourself!

[@ajsomebody1342]

I totally relate to making it to 21. When I turned 21 last year I had a moment where I realized how crazy it is. I never planned to make it past 18 not to mention 21. I felt such compassion for myself and felt so proud and amazed that I did it! I never had any idea how far I would come in my life, recovery, mental health, and even having goals for once in my life.

[@ameliapage2914]

Thank you Ro, I’ve been in recovery since October now and your videos have shown me that the world does start to get brighter and that we are not alone in this🤎 can I just say your eyes are so pretty🤎

[@RoMitchell]

thank YOU! you’re doing the right thing ❤️

[@rh9475]

i prefer watching calmer vlogs tbh bc i want to relax when i watch vlogs rather than stress about productivity or not always having time to do things etc. so yes to mundane weekly vlogs!!

[@graciegriffin8270]

I dont usually comment but Im so grateful for this beautiful week in your life. Its SOOOO refreshing to see someone who is REAL. You are such an inspiration and literally without your makeup you are GLOWING. I am in recovery as well and I relate SOO much to the bagel phase haha. You are amazing. Thank you thank you for reminding me why I am recovering (even after weight restoration phase).

[@tripodologia]

Thank you so much for sharing this. My life is also pretty uneventful, and I'm also in therapy for C-PTSD, and many times I don't even have the energy to wash my face and put on proper clothes (but working on it). I cannot take vlogs that are too aesthetic and seemingly unattainable because it doesn't inspire me, it just makes me feel worse. Your content is so cozy and comforting, I love it when a new video comes up!

[@sophiabergman9611]

Ro ever since I found your channel I've loved how transparent you are and how you show the wins and struggle moments and keep it real. I'm finally committing to recovery and its been extremely difficult emotionally and physically, and general life stuff can feel so much harder. Seeing that I'm not alone helps loads. Love you Ro, you're doing amazing and are so loved by your KZbin community!

[@hanna108]

Thank you Ro for showing a realistic week in your life, I am in recovery of anorexia and I had to take a break from university this year because of my health… It was a hard decision and it is hard to feel like I am «useless» or at least doing so much less than what people of my age are doing, but I also know that I couldn’t have a more «active» lifestyle because of how exhausted and mentally drained I am… I realize that it may sound really depressing but I just wanted to say thank you for showing that it is okay to not always do soooo much things everyday and to take it slow 💗

[@moonfelines]

Going through literally the exact same thing

[@kaitlynnlepage755]

Looking at the time stamp on the video and realizing there’s still tons left to watch, best feeling lmao. Love you Ro

[@RoMitchell]

yay! i’m glad people like the longer videos :)⭐️ all my love x

[@erinbrown7214]

I just want to say the way you inspire people is so magical. I stumbled on your KZbin when you first started and up until the last month or so I was never ready to recover. Or rather, I just didn't want to. I've been at a low place in life for a couple years and I've finally realized that starving myself was only making it 100000000x worse. Ive started eating more, honoring my hunger, etc and I've already seen such a positive impact on my mental health. Your videos are such a breath of fresh air and you impact so many in such a positive way ❤️ You deserve all the happiness in the world. We're all so happy to see you thrive ❤️

[@RoMitchell]

thank you ❤️ i’m so proud of you for taking that first step. it gets so so so much better once you’re through the hard part, i promise. you CAN do this - you are clearly so lovely & as everyone does, you deserve joy ✨✨

Hi Ro You probably won’t read this but you have been such an inspiration for me. I’m recovering from ed now and your videos make me feel less guilty about eating and gaining weight. I really wish I could be in the same city as you since I wish to be your friend. Thank you for helping this teen.

Recovering is literally a full time job and I don't have it in me in work it's just too much to handle it all. So my life is just taking care of myself and that's ok. I'm not busy with a job but I'm getting my life back to a better and stable place. That is always first priority. Thank you Ro for all of your fabulous content. You've truly helped me a lot.

Hi Ro I have really missed your videos. I've wanted to watch them for a long time but have been out of time because the beginning of 2023 have not been the easiest for me. To be honest the last 6 months have been awful because of anxiety and depression. But hearing your calm voice helps me... now I am watching these videos as maraton ❤️. Also some good things have happened I got two Pullip dolls (japanese collector dolls) that I do photograph and am able to go through those deep thoughts via photographing. My nursing school ended because of my illnesses but yesterday I got news... for next 5 months I will have a supportworker and I am able to talk about feelings 🥹, so there will be a sunchine in the middle of dark times 🌞.
