“it´s just a habit, you´ll snap out of it if you talk yo self out of it” - “you need to be distracted, get a jobby job, get creative, get involved”. THIS IS EASY TALK. Now, I am not saying that personal goals aren´t helpful. Actually, they´re a larger than life thingy thang. But really, that alone won´t do either. It´s simply an outside do-be-do-be. Ever done something and then fumbled for the disorder? The disorder could´ve been a wake-up call. “SOS to the Self, mindful listening is required. Be kind to yourself. Destructive behavior covers you in layers of agonizing, dazed heaviness”. Maybe that busy task was just a numbing distraction instead of a nurturing one. Be honest with yourself and to yourself. What does make you happy? What makes you feel WHOLE, ALIVE? What makes you rise from the ashes, nudging you, seeding your sparks? How are you feeling right now? What do you really need right now? Always begin from where you are at the very moment. Step by Step.
Real Talk, Real Time:
A Mental Illness is not anybody´s fault per se. Instead, it´s a zig-zagging, enmeshed cluster of events and feelings and situations that trigger the crypted addiction: a genetical factor, no doubt. Media does its bit, but it´s not always, automatically the one-liner trigger.
Having a broken relationship with food and physiological needs, healing by eating healthily alone won´t do. Thinking “happy thoughts” alone, won´t do. Granted, these things are necessary, helpful and true. That´s why they´re also part of recovery. Honestly, a body weight can be perceived as “restored” but these types of MH don´t simply focus the body, body weight doesn´t heal what´s inside. EDs envelope emotions: they´re a helpless way of cradling feelings. DIGGING WITHIN is required. DIG IT. SEEK TRUTH. An ED affected person who, in addition, struggles with emotional distress, anxiety, depression and/or else, needs to be accompanied thoroughly. In other words: #eatittobeatit is not enuff. The soulful wounds and the year-long self-harm, scarred themselves throughout time.
Needless to mention, neurologically speaking: bad habits that have rooted over a large period of time cannot be chopped down in the blink of an eye (days, weeks, months, years: there is no mechanical rule). It takes love time and going for genuine help... It takes patience, knowledge, wisdom, CREATIVITY: like a river, swim through the waters of your self/less yearnings. Lip your needs. Say what you think but most definitely express how you feel, what you sense. Work on that.
