Några punkter att tänka på när man kämpar för att bli frisk i från en ätstörning
- You will not gain weight at the same rate as you mentally recover. Give up on that dream. You will not always look the same way that you feel.
- You will not always be motivated. Recovery is not rainbows and sunshine. Going back to your disorder will be easier than continuing to fight it. (You are strong enough to fight it).
- Recovery is not comfortable. You are going to have to go way beyond your comfort zone. Sometimes you will be so uncomfortable and upset and afraid that you swear that you can’t take it. You can take it. You can tolerate it because some part of you knows that it’s worth going through this to recover.
- Speak up. It hurts to open up, but it can hurt more to keep things inside.
- You don’t get to pick your natural weight. Your body decides. You have to let go of trying to keep your weight at a certain number.
- Change is terrifying, but give it a chance. Don’t go back just because it is what’s comfortable to you.
- No one else can fix you. They can help you, guide you, support you and encourage you, but only you can make the real changes in your life.
- Recovery will not give you your perfect dream life. There will be flaws. You will still cry. You will not feel happy or beautiful all the time. You might feel happy sometimes. You might feel sad sometimes. That’s okay.
- Your eating disorder is not your identity, it is not your life, it is not the only interesting thing about you. It is a part of your past, and a part of your present, but it is not the only thing in your past, not the only thing in your present, and it does not have to be a part of your future.
- Sometimes the small victories are the things that make recovery the most worthwhile.
- You are far stronger than you believe.
- Recovery is possible
