“Taking the time to care for your body and treat it with kindness can be a challenge when you have so many other things demanding your attention, but it’s a vital piece of your recovery and well-being.”
— Caroline Harbour, “Taking My Eating Disorder Recovery One Day at a Time”
Can i get a step by step on how to do this?
So far for me it’s been something like:
1. Become aware of how and when you tearing yourself down.
2. Now that you can catch yourself doing it. Offer counters to the negative self talk. A really useful thing I read was to talk to yourself almost the way you would child. Gentle and patient. Even when they fuck up.
3. Take time to celebrate your small accomplishments. You’ve been attacking yourself for every little mistake. Apply that same fervor to the positive things in your life. Did the dishes even though you didn’t want to? Fuck yeah! Got up and took shower? YES!!! You are taking positive steps to feeling better. Celebrate it.
4. Make lists of things you’re good at/ like about yourself. The first time I did this the only two things in my list we’re that I liked my hair and I had good friends. It was start.
5. Don’t beat yourself up if you screw up steps 1-4. It’s counter productive. When I catch myself calling my self stupid for some mistake or other my response now is,“We don’t talk to ourselves like that anymore. What’s something constructive that could actually help solve the problem.”
Most of the time that seems to work. Not always. But more and more Everytime.
I hope any of that made sense.
oh my goodness there are instructions!!
Omg I was doing this without knowing
“If you are hurting then it is okay to be selfish and take care of yourself. Recognize the help you may need, make it a priority, and don’t lose sight that things can and will get better.”
— Andrew Brittingham, “Boy Becomes Hero: Reverie”
you are more than your abuse
(also I’m aware I spelled trauma wrong lol)
life with mental illness is actually so fucking exhausting
honestly, i can’t explain the kind of tiredness that’s caused by being mentally unwell
it’s like your veins are tired. your bones are tired. your hair is tired. your actual soul is tired
never feel guilty for resting.
hey if ur reading this and ur in a bad spot mentally or anything i hope u feel better soon and have a good day
“Sometimes I think that I’ve been ‘doing recovery’ for long enough now that every battle should be a quick, sure win. But that’s not how it works. I can lose battles but still win the war. So how do I get through those days? Those days when I’m not excited to be in recovery? By simply trying. By putting one foot in front of the other, dragging my feet to tomorrow, and knowing I’m doing the right thing for myself.”
— Emily Zoino, “For Those Days When You Just Aren’t Impressed by Recovery”
PSA: just because somebody recovering from an eating disorder is eating regularly and more “normally”, is challenging themselves daily, is no longer using harmful symptoms, is creating a life for themselves and smiling more often, and no longer “looks” like they’re struggling, does not mean the struggle is over and that they’re not fighting a hard fucking battle every single day to keep moving forward. Please remember this.

“I need to accept that I am who I am. I struggle with mental illness. I feel deeply. I wrestle. I cry. I win and I lose. And all of that is OK. I am human. I can quickly accept others and their struggles, so why should I not extend that same acceptance to myself?”
— Emily Nussbaum, “The Best Gift I Can Give Myself”
