i’m struggling so much. i want to get better, i’m sick of restricting. i’ve been telling myself that of course i don’t want to recover, but deep deep deep inside i know how much i hate this. i’m not close with my family at all, and i’m only 16. how do i recover without having to bring it up with my family when i’m still young?
hi bub,
i was in the same place as u not too long ago, if i can get thru it so can u, i believe in u. the first step is realizing that it’s not good for u n that u wanna stop, so ur already making progress! of course i always reccomend therapy but if ur not in a place where that’s an option i completely understand. do u have a close friend or someone u trust wholeheartedly? if so, have an honest talk w them n say that u really wanna feel better but need their support thru it. the thing that helped me the most was dbt, maybe read up on it n find some worksheets online!! eds are so difficult n im really sorry, but u can do this. just try to stay focused on that part of u that knows that recovery is good, when u feel the ed taking over check the facts. ur good n worthy of recovery <3
