Eating disorders are abnormal eating behaviors, such as binge-eating, purging, or intentional starvation, that can detrimentally impact one’s life, and it is more common than you think. Most prevalent in females and adolescents, eating disorders have the second highest mortality rate of any mental illness. One of the most common causes for eating disorders are poor body image, which commonly stems from media portrayal and body shaming. Harmful trends such as “losing weight” for aesthetics and actions like comparing yourself to someone else’s body can lead to poor self-esteem and negative body image. Remember that all bodies are different, and there is a huge difference between watching your diet vs. starving yourself for a diet. Eating vegetables and maintaining an active lifestyle have more healthy and beneficial effects than pursuing a weight loss program. If you find yourself experiencing symptoms of eating disorders, consider talking to a health professional or your physician. Make a meal plan for yourself to follow and set small achievable goals. Practice self-care and take yourself away from social media. Surround yourself with friends and families who can support you through your journey. #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #eatingdisorderawareness #mental #mentalhealthawareness #eating #eatinghealthy
Granting yourself forgiveness and listening to your body’s cues are key!🔑 We hope you have a great week 8 ducks! #universityoforegon #uoedas #eatingdisorderawareness #eatingdisorderrecovery
People with Binge Eating Disorder often: - Eat large amounts of food - Don't stop eating until they are uncomfortably full - Feel embarrassed by the amount of food they are eating - Have a history of weight gains and losses - Have more trouble losing weight and keeping it off than people with other serious weight problems Functions that can be disturbed by Binge Eating Disorder: - Sexual function - Physical growth and development - Appetite and digestion - Sleep - Heart function - Kidney function - Emotional regulation - Thinking - Memory This is a disorder that has taken over and has affected almost every aspect of my life, and I refuse to let it continue to overwhelm me. I'm currently a 26 year old female who has been recently getting help for BED through therapy and medication. My goal is to spread awareness for BED, and help others understand how it can affect people. I don't want anyone to struggle like I have.

Creating, exploring, and rediscovering who I am without an eating disorder is a messy, beautiful process. Here are some aspects of who I am besides someone who has struggled with an eating disorder. ✨I am a reader. Every since I was little, I’ve escaped with books. As someone who was isolated without friends growing up, books became my companions. ✨I have a big personality, and, while that often brings me shame, it also brings me connection. I’ve recently gotten close to someone at work, and the feeling of a new friendship that has the potential to be so strong is life giving ✨I am a cat mom. I love love animals in all shapes and forms (except for snakes, although they’re kind of cute if they’re wearing hats) ✨I value going out and staying in. I can lounge on the couch reading a book or I can go to a coffee shop with a friend. Both are fun for me ✨I am a lover of the written word. Writing has been an outlet. Growing up, I wrote dozens of novel, and being able to create elaborate characters and plots satisfied my imagination. ✨I love fashion. It’s a way of expression and the feeling of finding a good thrift find is unmatched ✨I care deeply, and I’m beginning to see that as a strength rather than a weakness ✨I’m a dreamer. I dream impossible things, and it allows me to keep chugging along for the hope of a better future . . . #food #edrecovery #mentalhealth #antidiet #antidietculture #foodofinstagram #advice #eatingdisorderrecovery #haes #anxiety #intuitiveeating #selfcare #bodyimage #neda #positive #hope #anorexianervosarecovery #edfighter #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #anarecovery #anafighter #ocd #eatingdisordertreatment
Today felt uncomfortable. I haven’t had a meal like this for absolutely ages where my emotions got very heightened but today it felt hard. Half way through I turned to my husband and said “this sucks”. “I know” he said “but you got it”. And I did, I got my head down and finished off the meal and didn’t compensate for the rest of the day! One of the things about having Joshua is I don’t have as much time to ruminate about the food which is certainly a good thing, but sometimes that feels even more exhausting battling my brain whilst being with him. Anyway, the main thing is I did it and the more I sit with these uneasy feelings and the discomfort the closer I get to hitting the mark of being fully recovered! And that is my goal! Ugh eating disorders can be so irritating how they tear their heads at times and for no apparent reason! But when they do we have to keep going. And know that these feelings will pass! Sending love to you all, I know this is a hard battle but it gets easier and it will be so so worth it! #edrecovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #recovery #mentalhealth #anorexiarecovery #anorexia #anorexianervosarecovery #eatingdisorder #edwarrior #recoveryispossible #ed #anarecovery #anorexiafighter #mentalhealthawareness #selflove #bulimiarecovery #edfighter #recoverywin #edrecoverywarrior #bodypositivity #intuitiveeating #haes #eatingdisorderawareness #bulimia #bodypositive #selfcare #food #fearfood #anorexiarecover #mentalhealthmatters
Knowing this, try this: “I appreciate you” “You are evolving every day” “I am proud of you” “You have a beautiful heart” “People love you” “You are not alone” “Time heals” “Deep breath - you got this!” “Damn, you look good” “You are kind” “It’s ok to rest” “Being afraid is normal” “I see you” Give yourself kindness every day. #wordsarepowerful #talkkindlytoyourself #begoodtoyourself . . . 💚 My Instagram is for educational purposes and is not for therapy or medical care. #EDwarrior #selfcare #edrecovery #eatingdisorder #eatingdisorderrecovery #edsurvivor #edtreatment #anarecovery #miarecovery #eatingdisordersupport #bingeeatingrecovery #womensupportingwomen #womenempoweringwomen #healingjourney #recoveryjourney #bodyconfidence #bodypositive #bopo #antidiet #mentalhealthawareness #recovery #therapist #bodyacceptance #edfighter #eatingdisorderhelp #haes #eatingdisorderawareness

🏆🩷 Challenge GEMEISTERT! 🩷🏆 Ich würde lügen, wenn ich sage, dass das sehr einfach war, es war alles anderes als einfach 😮💨 Allein vorm losgehen war ich sehr angespannt, mein Körper war am kribbeln und hatte das Gefühl, meine Schultern sind wie Blei. Als der Donut und das Eis vor mir standen begann wieder mein Gedankenkreisen mit dysfunktionalen Gedanken. Ich hatte nach einer langen Zeit in der Form etwas süßes. Jedoch wurde es nach jeden Bissen auch einfacher, so einfach, dass ich mich auch getraut habe, große Bissen zu essen! 😍 Am Ende war (und bin es immer noch) ich sehr stolz auf mich! Ich hab wirklich alles aufgegessen! 🩷 Natürlich hab ich auch alles in mein Essenstagebuch eingetragen, was ich dann mit ins Krankenhaus mitnehme. (Ich hab auch ein kleinen Sticker für mein Tagebuch bekommen 🥹 der ist jetzt wie eine kleine Trophäe in dem Buch 🥇) Jetzt heißt es verdauen und den restlichen Abend genießen 🩷 #recovery #recoveryispossible #revoveryisworthit #edrecovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #brammibalsdonuts #brammibals #donuts #eis #eiscreme #softserveicecream #spagettieis #erdbeere #pinkypromise
Your validity ≠ your weight I got an axolotl plushie, Elliot, while I was in residential. I’m not sure where he went, so this is Elliot 2.0 :) Your validity is not dependent on the number on the scale. I’m fully recovered & I feel significantly more comfortable in my body than I did when I was at the peak of my eating disorder.

Every 52 minutes, a precious life is lost to the devastating effects of an eating disorder. Whether through medical complications or by suicide, the toll is heartbreaking. At EDCare, we stand in solidarity with those affected by these relentless battles. Let's raise awareness, break the silence, and offer support to those in need. Together, we can make a difference. #EndTheStigma #EDCare #EatingDisorderAwareness

Hi everyone I wanted to make a important post on talking about my eating disorder that I am diagnosed with as well same as with other disorders and other disabilities as well of it being called Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) and here it is and also a couple of videos and photos to show that I had it all going on in my life and that I was very weak and not eating properly at all and etc and more: •you shouldn’t make fun of people with eating disorders aka Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) or any eating disorders at all because it’s no joke at all and especially when they were skinny as well same as I was on this day of Tuesday, January 12th 2016. •eating disorders are a part of life/your life in general when you’re diagnosed with it •being disabled with disabilities and disorders like I am and being disabled in general is no joke and shouldn’t be made fun of in the first place And on this day of Tuesday,January 16th 2016 I was in John Hopkins University Hospital and Kennedy Krieger Institute of 2 hospitals for a unknown reason that they found out later on was for a impaction unfortunately (“and you can tell I was really skinny in these photos and videos from that and those admissions to those 2 hospitals”) and I’m glad to be here and happy and alive now and hope to not get a another impaction again ever again….and I’m also glad to get the help from these two hospitals on that day as well! @kennedykriegerinstitute @hopkinshospital #eatingdisorderawareness #avoidantrestrictivefoodintakedisorder #disabled #disabledwithdisabilities
My ED story Part 4/10 What is the life of a model with an ED like? Almost my whole life depended on food: I constantly thought about what other diet I should try, how much more I can eat so as not to exceed the “norm” (1200 kcal), I weighed myself every day, counted calories and blamed myself for every extra piece of food. I weighed all my food and recorded it in the app. I trained in the evening or on an empty stomach in the morning, walked only up the stairs, counted the calories burned using an Apple Watch, all in a circle. I knew by eye what the food weighed and how many calories it contained, and saw not actually the food, but only the numbers 😵💫 In a cafe with friends, I ordered coffee, juice or water, trying to dull the feeling of hunger. I was happy about the summer heat, because I wanted to eat less. In restaurants, I chose not the food that I like, but what would be “correct” to eat. I chose everything with the lowest calorie content. I had the opportunity to go to the US with a friend, and even there I ordered diet pancakes, threw out carbohydrates and fat from food, did not allow myself to try most of the food there. When I did eat something “forbidden”, I was “punishing” myself with extra 10k steps or a workout and skipped my next meal. (shared some pic from the US trip in a carousel) I lost my period, I didn’t have it for about 5 years in total (maybe more, I don’t remember). It didn’t bother me, because I had a goal to achieve the perfect body, like the girls from Pinterest pictures, which I put on my screensaver for motivation (eventually it didn’t motivate at all). It was very annoying that nothing was working out, that I was almost ready to go to a fortune teller (spoiler: I didn’t go😆). It was a brain drain and a constant drain of energy on thoughts in a circle. I forced myself to go to the gym, harshly criticizing myself. I wrapped my thighs around with my arms and beat myself on them because I thought they were too big, I got mad, cried. Continuation in the next part.

Take what you need 💘 Neural rewiring is KEY in recovery and changing any behaviour. Neural rewiring is not a magic trick. It is a biological process and with every action you take you are either choosing to wire more disordered patterns in your brain or more full recovery patterns. Choose recovery. Choose life.

Why Diets Don’t Work Judith has worked with many clients who would mistakenly believe that diets work because of the initial weight loss they experienced when they started dieting. In diet culture, [it’s] working means ‘I am losing weight.’ I think then the confusion is that people assume ‘well this is what’s supposed to be happening.’ - Judith Matz @judmatz From a diet-culture perspective, undereating is seen as ‘normal’, whilst binge eating is viewed as a failure to control oneself. In actuality, though, they are two sides of the same coin. Both under-eating and eating to the point of discomfort are disordered eating behaviours. Unfortunately, because of the initial short-term weight loss caused by the diet, people mistakenly believe that it’s their fault when the weight returns. However, it’s just the body recovering and compensating for the abnormal stress of the diet.

Since October 7 2023, we have witnessed unstoppable horror and mass murder and systematic ethnic cleaning of innocent people in Gaza. With each passing hour the genocide became more gruesome & horrific, something you would not even witness in the movies. Despite the efforts of billions of people, the stoppable genocide didn't stop. We will forever remember the countries that staged this brutal genocide & stood shoulder to shoulder with the perpetrators. The recent incident in Kyrgyzstan is shocking and shows how low a human being can fall. Students who are in Kyrgyzstan are there to study. They are not millionaires and cannot afford to pay the hefty fees of private medical colleges, they belong to humble hardworking families. Last night was extremely difficult. The anxiety was high. The horror families of the students went through. And the SA on our girls. May Allah protect us from such evil people. The videos of female students begging for help were heartbreaking. India Pakistan Bangladesh and all other foreign students safety was compromised. I don't want to go into the details of this horrific incident. I just want to say it shows the strength of evil. Please get in touch if you need to speak about this or you need help. We are here for you. We have excellent people who can help you. Last we want to thank the social media & those people who stayed up the entire night interviewing these students and getting the message across. Let's not talk about the forever sleeping governments. Allah is enough for them. Thank you @urdupoint_com @samaatv @imranriazkhanfofficia to name few. Students in Pakistan who staged the protests well-done. I wish we were able to do the same for our people in Gaza, in Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Sudan and Afghanistan. Keep up the good work 👍. Allah made you a vicergent on this earth. Anything we can do to help humanity is our blessing. Stand for humanity and stand for justice. Keep our people in Gaza in your prayers. #islamandeatingdisorders #eatingdisorderawareness #eatingdisorders #kyrgyzstan #study #pakistan #gaza #india #bangladesh🇧🇩 #student
When you've been having a really restrictive diet, your gut's going to be inflamed at everything. And so if you were to eliminate what inflames your gut, you would continue to be restrictively eating. You can't control your body long term sustainably without living in a restrictive eating disorder. It was actually called that, wasn't it? It was called a war on obesity. #eatingdisorderawareness #edrecoveryjourney #healthateverysize #healingwithfood #mindfulnessmatters
extreme hunger — what is it + my experience :) i’ve been struggling with feeling really hungry and i’ve been seeing the term ‘extreme hunger’ floating around so i decided to do some research about it and came to the conclusion that i am definitely experiencing extreme hunger. and that’s okay!! i’m actually glad to be aware of what’s going on with my body and i’m glad to know i’m not the only one experiencing it (it’s normal) :). this is just a little post i put together, along with some information from ruby oaks nutrition all about extreme hunger along with my experience :) i hope this helps! pls be safe i love u sm 💓💓 . . . #edrecovery #edrecoveryfamily #edrecoveryarmy #edrecoverywarrior #edrecovering #edrecover #edrecoveryjourney #edrecoverycommunity #eatingdisorder #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #eatingdisordersupport #eatingdisorderecovery #eatingdisordersurvivor #eatingdisordercommunity #anorexiafighter #anorexiarecover #anorexianervosarecovery #ednosrecovery #ednoswarrior #foodfreedom #recovery #recoveryispossible #bodydysmorphia #bodydysmorphicdisorder #bodydysmorphiarecovery #bodydysmorphiaawareness #extremehunger
Serendipitous. That's what it was. . Continuing on from my previous post as to how I ended up typing out these posts for @b.l.u.e.print, it was the @richroll and @arboone11 podcast that started the wheels turning. . Could I possibly find treatment (and not just any treatment, but GOOD treatment) through the Opal program Amelia entered? What is/was @opalfoodandbody like? How would I travel to Opal's facility in Seattle and be away from my family and work for so long? Would I even be accepted there? Am I in that much dire straits to warrant needing recovery?? AM I "SICK ENOUGH"? . And then the other shoe dropped. The next day, friend just "happened" to send me a link to a podcast she thought I'd really like to listen to. Can you guess which one it was? Yup. Rich Roll and Amelia Boone. . My friend had no idea I was contemplating needing a higher level of care for treatment. Nor did I even divulge to anyone (not my husband, co-workers, or close friends) that I was entertaining the thought of traveling thousands of miles away to seek recovery. But, I must have been destined to become an Opal client because within a few weeks, I was on a plane to Seattle, stomach filled with nervousness, heart exploding with gratitude for the support and love my family, friends, and coworkers gave me when I told them I needed to heal myself. . There are so many wonderful experiences I had at Opal, and I want to share some of them in later posts. But most importantly, I want to say this: . Take the risk. Step out in faith. Be uncomfortable. Ask questions. It's ok if you don't get an answer. Sit with the dysregulation. Breathe. Ground yourself. Do it again. Create your blueprint for healing. . #recovery #eatingdisorder #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #eatingdisordersupport #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #HAES #opalfoodandbodywisdom #opalfoodandbody
Repost from @veritascollaborative • When we talk about mental health, eating disorders must be a part of the conversation. With a deeper understanding of the science and prevalence of eating disorders, it’s clear that oversimplifying these illnesses or writing them off based on stereotypes is not only grossly misinformed, but it’s also dangerous. We know it takes awareness, support, and treatment for people to recover. If you’re concerned that you or a loved one is struggling with an eating disorder, we’re here to help. Give us a call today at 1-855-875-5812. 💚 Source: Swanson, S. A., et. al., 2011. [Image Description: Slide one: Text reads: “Mental Health Awareness Month: 3 Things to Know About Eating Disorders.” Slide two: Text reads: “01. Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses: Eating disorders are not a vanity issue or a lack of willpower, nor are they a ‘diet gone wrong.’ While no one chooses to develop an eating disorder, with the right support, individuals can choose recovery. Slide three: Text reads: “02. Eating disorders can be life-threatening: Eating disorders can be deadly even without any obvious physical signs or symptoms. They have the second-highest mortality rate of any mental illness, surpassed only by opioid use disorder.” Slide four: Text reads: “03. Eating disorders rarely occur in isolation: At least 50% and as many as 95% of people diagnosed with an eating disorder have at least one other mental health diagnosis. These include anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, substance use disorders, and more.”] #MentalHealthMatters #MentalHealthAwareness #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth #MentalHealthisHealth #EatingDisorderAwareness #EatingDisorderSupport #EatingDisorderRecovery #EDRecovery
I used to be really restrictive with my food. I’d alternate between different rules : no gluten, no meat, no dairy, no sugar, no eating after 8pm, 3 cups of lemon ginger with water in the morning, … you name it. I’d create my own cocktail of rules 🍹 But it wasn’t for health reasons or for ethical reasons. I was finding different ways to control my body, my weight. It was exhausting, and so unhealthy. It was obsessive and so energy and focus draining. But I hadn’t always been like this. When I was a kid my relationship with food from what I remember was fairly simply. I liked food, I enjoyed food, all kinds of foods. But at age 16, it was the straw that broke the camel’s back 🐪 as they say. Something happened, and my relationship to food and my body changed forever. My life was also never the same after that. My life would never be the same from that moment on. (I’ll get into that later🫶) Food has so many beautiful, uplifting and supportive facets. It allows you to survive, nourish your body, socialise, taste and feel pleasure, heal, satisfy cravings and have fun, discover new cultures, travel, so much more… But it can also take a turn for the negative and become a tool to control, A punishment, A shaming and self-sabotaging tool… Please take care of your relationship with food, your mental health and this relationship, Because it can either help you grow, support you and make you strong, Or it can consume and destroy you. I understand of course that some people do remove gluten, sugar, dairy etc. medical reasons and ethical reasons, and I have no judgment whatsoever on that. It’s more when you cut those things out to control your weight, to punish yourself, or when you eat in secrecy or don’t eat, that it’s a problem. I got help and after years of doing the work, I am now able to help others with these issues and am grateful to be able to do so. I’ve been through it and you can too. There is another side, so if you need help, ask for it. Shame and secrecy have no place here 🫂 Sending love xox Sarah #foodforthought #healthcoach #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #mentalhealthawareness

Alles für mich und alles für‘s Klo (Geburtstag mit Bulimie) - die Wahrheit ist immer die bittere Pille. Noch ein Lebensjahr mit Bulimie abgeschlossen. Ich hätte nie gedacht, dass ich es auch nach 13 Jahren immer noch nicht geschafft habe gesund zu werden. Gestern den Kuchen gebacken und ich habe es immerhin geschafft den Kuchen bis zu meinem heutigen Geburtstag zu verschonen um diesen Post zu machen. Heute nur die Hälfte, die andere ist eingefroren … immerhin hat mein Vater zwei Stücke gegessen. All for me & all for the toilet (Birthday with Bulimia) Completed another year of life with bulimia - I never thought that even after 13 years I still haven’t managed to get healthy. the truth is always the bitter pill. Baked the cake yesterday and at least I managed to spare the cake until my birthday today to make this post. Today only half, the other is frozen... at least my father ate two pieces.

It took me such a long time to really understand this 🙈 At times when we are struggling it’s normal to want to try and understand what may have happened in our lives that could have contributed to that struggling. When I was recovering from anorexia I spent soooo long trying to work out if something had happened to me in my past that had affected me. There were even times when I was thinking that I must have blocked out some kind of major traumatic event. I hadn’t. Over time I learned that it doesn’t always work like that and sometimes it’s actually what was missing in our early lives that impacts us the most. I see this pattern in my clients a lot too. Clients with emotional eating issues especially. Clients who didn’t receive the emotional nourishment they wanted and needed as children who now overeat in an attempt to fill those unmet needs. Clients who binge on the same foods that they received as children in place of the hugs and unconditional love they really craved. Foods that they came to equate to love. Clients who feel guilty, greedy and ashamed when they actually feed themselves properly because deep down they believe the reason they didn’t feel “seen” and loved as children was because they weren’t worthy of it - and who believe they aren’t worthy of nurturance still. Clients who felt alone, unsafe or emotionally abandoned as children who eat to numb and disconnect from those feelings when they arise in adulthood. Clients who now abandon themselves too. Often times what didn’t happen for us in childhood was the formation of a secure attachment to one or both caregivers. This can affect us in many ways. While research on this topic is still quite scarce, there is enough evidence of a strong relationship between insecure attachment styles and the development of eating disorders. More to come on this topic at a later date. #360degreetherapist #mindbodysoul #counselling #coaching #psychotherapist #emotionaleating #attachmentwounds #douglascork #douglasvillage #holistictherapist #anorexiarecovery #bulimiarecovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #eatingdisordersupport #innerchild #innerchildhealing #attachmenttheory
The mind plays tricks on me at times. It convinces me that I was somehow better off when my sole goal was to shrink myself. That things were "simpler" as nothing else mattered. But it only takes looking back at photos to remember the darkness that consumed every aspect of my life. My memory from that time is foggy at best. I think I've pushed most of it out to protect myself. But what I do remember is an overwhelming emptiness and distrust. A coldness that crawled through my body. A sense of desperation and fear. ○ Oh, how beautiful life is now that I've learnt to open my eyes. 🤍 ○ ○ #recovery #transformation #eatingdisorderawareness
ᗯIE ᖇEᑕᕼEᖇᑕᕼIEᖇE Iᑕᕼ? Von Hölzchen auf Stöckchen. Ich denke, das beschreibt meine Methode am besten😅 Erstmal gucken, was ich selbst so weiß. Dann mal 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗲𝗹𝗻. Mal nach einem 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝘂𝗺 googeln. Hm, vielleicht mal mit 𝗩𝗣𝗡 im Ausland googeln ... Heilige Sch** - die Bilder zeigen mehr als bei uns😶 Gut, mal in einem Forum bei denen lesen. Und so weiter. Für 𝙎𝙚𝙩 𝙤𝙣 𝙔𝙤𝙪 habe ich sogar wissenschaftliche Paper gelesen. (Davon kam nahezu nichts im Buch vor😆) 🤩Bis hier ist der Weg sicherlich nicht ungewöhnlich. Ich nutze das Internet, ich war in der Bücherei, ich gucke ein paar Videos bei YouTube oder TikTok. 𝗗𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗰𝗵 verschicke ich eine Rohversion an ausgewählte Testleser:innen. Die meisten sind mit dem Thema vertraut. Entweder betrifft es sie selbst oder ihr Umfeld. Beides ist für mich extrem wichtig. Ein oder zwei Testler:innen sind nicht betroffen und lesen "unwissend". Auch das finde ich sehr wichtig. In den Rückmeldungen werden mir oft 𝗔𝗻𝗲𝗸𝗱𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻 erzählt, aus denen ich gerne Teile übernehme. Manche schreiben mir einfach ihre Gedanken zum Thema auf. Für 𝙎𝙚𝙩 𝙤𝙣 𝙔𝙤𝙪 hat man mir sogar einige Seiten aus einem Tagebuch abfotografiert. Für 𝘼 𝙅𝙤𝙮𝙛𝙪𝙡 𝙎𝙪𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙧 wurde mir erneut ein unglaubliches Vertrauen entgegengebracht. Mir wurden wahnsinnig intime Geschichten erzählt❤️ 𝗨𝗻𝗱 𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗯𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝗳ü𝗿 𝘀𝗼 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗯𝗮𝗿! Ich liebe diesen Austausch. Ich höre gern zu. Und ich weine auch manchmal vor meinem Chat-Fenster. Man kann irgendwann mal darüber sprechen, ob das Recherchieren zu diesen Themen, auf diese Art, so spurlos an einem vorbeigeht. Trotzdem ist es natürlich gerade bei Mental Health Themen unmöglich, die einzig richtige Version zu erzählen. Das sollte auch nicht der Anspruch sein❤️ Übrigens: Als ich die Bücher aus der Bücherei geholt hatte, hat mein Mann sie "gefunden" und mich darauf angesprochen, ob ich irgendetwas dazu sagen möchte. Ich glaube, er hat mich danach einige Tage etwas 1intensiver beäugt😶 🌸𝙂𝙞𝙗𝙩 𝙚𝙨 𝙚𝙞𝙣 𝘽𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙤𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙚𝙞𝙣 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙢𝙖, 𝙙𝙖𝙨 𝙙𝙪 𝙙𝙞𝙧 𝙗𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙧 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙚𝙧𝙩 𝙬ü𝙣𝙨𝙘𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙬ü𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙩?🤔🌸

Something a bit more serious but something I need to get out… #writing #mentalhealth #mentalhealthawareness #depressionawareness #anxietyawareness #eatingdisorderawareness #edrecovery
I'm really starting to understand how no one I know understands what I am going through. Not even my own mother understands the pain and suffering it has taken me to get to the point I am at now. How there has always been a monster in my head demanding that I continuously feed it until I'm about to burst. Now, I've started taking medication and going to therapy so that I can silence this monster. No one understands how difficult it is for me to eat anything right now, even though I still want to eat healthy and in moderation. How I've gone from binging to eating very little, and I'm worried about my disordered eating going back down the restriction route. Right now, I can't even look or smell most food without feeling disgusted, even foods I used to genuinely enjoy. I'm not "lucky" because I'm going through all of this. I'm not "lucky" to have such an unhealthy relationship with food. I'm not "lucky" that it took 26 years of my life to figure out that my ADHD and lack of dopamine helped create an eating disorder that I've been struggling with since I was a kid. It's not even "luck" that I'm getting better. It's hard work and dedication on my end. I'm not fully sure what the point of this post other than that I felt bothered me when she said that. #bingeeatingdisorderrecovery #bingeeeating #bingeeatingdisorder #bingefreequeen #adhd #eatingdisorder #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #notlucky #struggling #understanding #recoveryisdifficult #recoveryjourney #rant #ranting
Are you attuned to the way external factors shape your perception of yourself and your body? Recognising this influence was a game-changer in my recovery. Societal norms, media representations, and peer pressure are one element in forming our self-image (and a large one!). However, our seasons of life and life stressors can also play a big role. When life feels out of control, resorting to habits that don’t serve you or ramping up that negative self-talk is easy. Nothing like kicking yourself when you’re down, right? Coming out of this negative cycle takes conscious awareness and often speaking about it with someone who has an outside view of your self-perception. Here are a few steps that you can take in the moment: Identify: Recognize the external sources that are influencing your views about yourself. (e.g. A change of job, no control of your schedule, family drama, relationship breakdown) Evaluate: Critically assess these influences to determine whether they align with your true values. (e.g., does changing my eating habits or actively beating myself up align with how I want to feel in the long term?) Adjust: Actively refine your self-perception by acknowledging the incongruence between your thoughts and reality. Become curious about how your mind spirals you into a place of negative self-talk and associate that with the external factors influencing you.
Do I miss my thin body? Yes. I miss how I was treated when I was thin (by society, doctors, family, etc). I miss the inclusion it gave me; the attention and love and admiration and praise from even total strangers. However, I do NOT miss what I did to myself to achieve that thinness (starving myself by eating no more than 800 calories a day, excessively working out, binge eating and restricting, taking laxatives, diuretics, diet pills, etc). I am mad at myself for damaging my body just to achieve the ideal look, but really, what I was trying to achieve was acceptance, something I never felt I got as a fat person. The weird thing is, although my physical appearance may have changed, I was still the same Kaitlyn inside. I had the same interests and desires and sense of humor and intelligence and passions and dislikes. If you all of a sudden liked me when I was thin, you would have also liked me when I was fat, you just dismissed me and never gave me the time of day. So do I miss being thin? Or do I miss how I was treated as a thin person? Because thin privilege is real and fat phobia is real too. I’ve lived both lives. @iamchrissyking #antidiet #losehatenotweight #dietsdontworklongterm #bodydysmorphia #ditchdietculture #eatingdisorder #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #eatingdisordersurvivor #eatingdisordersupport #edwarrior #edfighter #edrecovery #mentalhealthmatters #therapy #recovery #haes #healingmyrelationshipwithfood #onedayatatime #fatisnotafeeling #bingeeating #bingeeatingrecovery #exposuretherapy #youareworthy

Maybe it was kismet...or an answered prayer...or just a weird coincidence... but whatever IT was, IT was the motivation, the inciting incident, the "thing" that led me to start @b.l.u.e.print and build a life of connection. . There is a lot to share here, and while I have a hard time keeping things brief (ha ha!), long story short, I suffered from anorexia for years...decades...and when I say "suffered", I mean I SUFFERED. I had been in and out of different RDs' offices and eating disorder facilities in my area, never truly finding a way of treatment that "fit." Granted, I was seeing (and still am seeing) THE BEST psychiatrist (and that is not a hyperbole...she truly is top in her field), yet all of the talk therapy we did couldn't help the fact that I was majorly struggling with getting to feed myself. My doctor suggested a higher level of care, and while deep down I knew it was what I needed, all of the "buts" started rearing their ugly heads... "But what about work?" "But what about the family?" "But what about the cost?" "But there is nothing here for you!" That last "but" was the biggest obstacle facing me--sadly, there are no comprehensive, reputable eating disorder treatment facilities (PHP or IOP) in my immediate area, and so the ED voice laughed its sinister laugh and told me to abandon seeking further help. . Then, enter Rich Roll. I love listening to his podcasts, as his calm voice never fails to help me breathe a bit easier during times of stress. And so, I randomly pressed play on one of his shows, an interview with Amelia Boone @arboone11. I am not an obstacle racer, nor do I do ultramarathons. Yet, I found myself falling in love, listening to Amelia talk about her upbringing and sport. And then, it was like the heavens opened, a bright light of clarity shinning down on me: Amelia began speaking about her eating disorder and the time she spent at @opalfoodandbody for treatment. Hearing her describe her experience at the Seattle facility peaked my interest... . Part 2 to come in the next post. ❤️ #recovery #mentalhealth #eatingdisorderrecover #eatingdisorderawareness #eatingdisorder #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters
I'm all about connections. Yes, the NYT Connections is MY JAM, but being able to talk with others, laugh with people, empathize with friends, live in the moment and truly CONNECT is what I want most out of life. ... I want to feel seen. I want to feel validated. I want to feel loved. I want to see the truth in others. I want to be able to speak words of validation to others. I want to love people with every ounce of my being. ... These are what I want, what I crave, what I desire. They are also what I need to feel whole, to be whole. But, to actually know and feel in one's bones that he/she/they are NOT alone, that there is the possibility of REAL LIFE CONNECTION...sigh. That is not always as easy to see and believe. ... For decades I have tried a variety of methods to satisfy my hunger for connection. Some ways were clearly destructive, while some led me to true, pure relationships. This account is not meant to be a "how-to" manual on what it takes to find connections. I made this account purely for my own cathartic reasons--I want to share how I found (and am continuing to find) connections and what challenges I've had to overcome to develop them. ... And maybe, just MAYBE, I can find some kind of connection with others that are also finding their own way, their own blueprint to life. ... #recovery #mentalhealth #eatingdisorderrecover #eatingdisorderawareness #eatingdisorder #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters
Wow the difference recovery can make! As cringe as it sounds I’m genuinely so proud of myself for my perseverance through these last few years to get to where I am today! This gal can actually smile and laugh again. If you are in the depths of it or still debating recovery I can honestly say it’s the toughest thing you will ever have to do but it is so worth it to be able to enjoy life again ☺️🙊

Today I walked a marathon for @beatedsupport who I have raised almost £400 for 🦋 I did this marathon for younger me as proof that there is a beautiful life on the other side of anorexia. I am incredibly proud of the person I have become and so so happy that I get to raise money for the charity that started my recovery and saved my life when I was 15 🤍 Thank you to everyone who donated, thank you to Beat and thank you to myself for making the decision to get better. 🦋 #edrecovery #anorexiarecovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #recoveryispossible
Being an unpaid intern that has done a lot of work for many different companies recently, I completely understand and have a lot of empathy for people stuck in a daily grind, multiple jobs, and people living paycheck to paycheck. As we are increasing awareness of how prevalent eating disorders are in our current societies we also must find ways for food to be more affordable and available to workers of many different industries and their families. We have to continue to shine lights on people that are survivors of labor violations. People take advantage of hard working families because they do not think that they have a voice. Hard working families have strong voices that need to be listened to. A company is not doing a larger economy any good if they are forcing their workers into early graves by making people experience chronic dehydration, chronic pain, chronic depression, malnutrition, and other forms of chronic illness. It is important to remember that both low BMI and high BMI individuals can experience malnutrition. People need money for transportation to and from grocery stores, they need more groceries to feed their growing families, and people need more time to prepare meals for themselves at home to become more food stable and financially healthy. Hard working families should never be mocked or ridiculed by people who do not understand their basic needs. Many hard working families are accused, by these same forces, of experiencing mental health conditions when they cannot afford to meet their own families basic needs because people are robbing them of their well deserved income by not considering local financial crisis that is prevalent in many different communities/countries. People deserve ethical pay for their labor; full stop 🛑. When labor is scarce, people need help becoming more food stable; full stop 🛑. #eatingdisorderawareness #eatingdisordersupport #foodinsecurity #foodinsecurityawareness #healfoodissues #fooddesertawareness #fooddesertsolutions #fooddesertsarereal #stopcorporatetheft #stopsteelingfromauthenticartists #communitystability
What an intense and emotional 40 minutes. Thanks to @soulrecover and amazing instructor @somethinglikejulia for supporting a cause near and dear to my heart, and empowering the roomful of individuals celebrating what our bodies can do. In the five minute of silence and introspection on the bike, it was not just sweat pouring down my face 🥲. It’s funny looking back at the photos, I see the @project.endure shirt and know I grabbed it just thinking “why not,” and now realize that not only did I endure the 40 minute class with minimal experience of spinning (which was harder than it looks) but also the condensed emotional rollercoaster that came with it. Of the past, present, and even thoughts of the potential future. So thank you @project.endure for the reminder and community effort in holding people up in their darkest of times. And some memorable mentions who made the event crazy awesome - @djsimmyspins @uptownedd @saxmanart #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #selflove #bodypositivity #spinning #growthmindset #endurance
Anyone else lose their appetite during the summer? I'm miserable! It's too hot to be hungry. I'm trying to stay nourished even though it's tough right now.

I’ve just had the most wonderful two day ‘holiday’ with one of my very bestest friends, Faith @thefaithflo_ . From the moment we picked her up at Knebworth, there was nothing but laughter, feeling at ease, freedom and spontaneity (which is verrrrrrrry un-me). This was our first in-person catch up in five years, and her first meeting with Parsley, and it marks our quarter centenary of friendship. We spent time at the garden centre, allotment, in my little garden patch, and walking in the Bury gardens; we walked lots and lots locally, ate at Emily’s (I finally tried the nachos I’ve been wanting to for more than six months), paddled in the Mimram, had spontaneous ice lollies, and cooked and ate together; and we went to/sang in the Village Voices concert at church last night (separate post on that coming - don’t miss it if you want to hear Parsley perform!). I realise this is the first time I’ve had someone to cook and eat comfortably with since my relapse, and it all just felt so ok, so normal, so delicious. I somehow need to carry that forward - starting by eating up all the amazing food I managed to buy in for her visit… Part of me is terrified and just wants to give it all away now and return to my safe - but non-nourishing and somewhat boring - fixed daily menu, but part of me wants to just bottle up and keep the courage and freedom and enjoyment and have fun with flavours and tastes as I used to do. Admittedly, I never really ever have done so for and by myself - it’s always been when living with others - but this made me really really want to at least try… What a whirlwind, and what a wonderful couple of days. I couldn’t be more grateful to Faith and for our friendship. I haven’t smiled this much or this genuinely in years! #friendship #gratitude #inspiration #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthmatters #autismawareness #actuallyautistic #anorexiarecovery #anorexianervosa #eatingdisorderrecovery #eatingdisorderawareness #recoverywins #foodfun #cookingwithfriends #nourishtoflourish #eatittobeatit #edrecovery #spontaneity #villagelife

Every year I celebrate mothers day, though I don't have a mother, I still celebrate. My husband & the relatives are always amused by my antics. I drive around the city looking for anyone who resembles Amma (means mother). She can only be found in the normal areas of the city. And this year I found Amma, sitting on the floor selling spices. My heart shattered. Her face was covered. I hated face covering on Amma & often called her Ninja 😔. I offered this lady my offerings, she declined. I pleaded with her to accept it. I don't have a mother, you'll be doing me a favour by accepting this gift. She refused. I left the gifts & walked away. My heart in pieces. Amma loved craving 🍉 I wanted to tell Amma that the most selfish thing in the world is my ED. It made me turn against her. I valued the demon more than anyone. She had me when she was 19. No it wasn't a western version of forced marriage or etc. she was 21, in her last trimester with my brother, when she became a widow. She didn't remarry. From the age of 15-21 she went through hell with me. My anger, my bitterness & low self-esteem & my desire to be the thinnest & the prettiest overtook everything in my life. I had extreme mood swings due to hunger & she was the victim. I smashed so many plates & slammed so many doors. My clothes were always perfectly ironed, my room spotless. Amma you did nothing wrong. I called you ignorant. U are better than all the people around me. 2day I am a mother & my daughter only 12 behaves worse. Food in trash and exercise & complaints about her looks destroys me. I wish I could show you my soul. You left soon after I left home. I wish I could take every word I said to you back. Your son & siblings don't talk to me. I swear Amma it was the 👿. He still controls me. He loves it when I am with him. I still look for you every year. Your not coming back but I want to believe one day I will find you & you will hug me, you'll forgive me & you will tell me that I am your beautiful girl. Nights are long Amma & days are short. 💤 Is gone & food is thy enemy. Happy mothers day 2 you in heaven. #islamandeatingdisorders #eatingdisorderawareness #eatingdisorders #mother

My ED story Part 3/10 What is the life of a person with an ED like? I managed to lose that centimeter and came to Hong Kong in perfect shape. And then the whole disaster had started: When you diet and have restrictions, there ALWAYS will be a rollback. So I began to overeat. And was “working off” those calories: went to gym and moved around the city a lot on foot. After I came back home from my contract, I put on a few kilos. Then I started preparing for the next contract in advance. It was like this all the time: between contracts, I relaxed and gained weight, and before a new trip, I again went on a strict diet, because this was the only thing that helped me. On the contract in China in my agency, weight, hips and waist were measured every week, and all models were fined even for an extra 500 g. None of the girls even tried to talk to these people that it is physiological for a woman to gain some weight before her period. I think many of them, like me, were afraid. Also, I saw when girls tried to build boundaries and received only bullying from agents and bookers. But it’s another topic to talk. I was very stressed by these measurings, I didn’t eat anything before them. Then I found out a “cool” thing: I noticed that if you dance in a club all night, you don’t want to eat either. I went to parties multiple times a week, was distracted from thoughts about food and my weight. Proud of myself, but still not satisfied, I returned from China at my minimum weight (see the carousel, all these pics were taken during a contract to China). Continued in the next part.

A recent conversation with someone I’m working with. ‘What you do is so much more than helping people with sleep. This is a tool that helps people get their whole life back on track’. Me: ‘I know - but that sounds too good to be true to most people, so I focus on sleep’. ‘I’ve tried medication, counselling and I thought I was going to have to leave my job, sell my house and move somewhere else as nothing worked, but I don’t have to do any of it. I can already see how I’m going to make my current role even better - this is life changing’. Is your life not working the way you want it to and it’s affecting your sleep? Let’s chat. www.highertruth.com.au
