Hello and welcome to my new blog!
I have been debating about starting up a blog for quite some time as up until now I have only been using instagram as a way to share parts of my story/life. Sometimes I felt I needed a little bit of a bigger spare than just instagram to express whats going on in my mind or share my own experience of recovery from Anorexia.
I have been debating about starting up a blog for quite some time as up until now I have only been using instagram as a way to share parts of my story/life. Sometimes I felt I needed a little bit of a bigger spare than just instagram to express whats going on in my mind or share my own experience of recovery from Anorexia.
Having the mental illness for so long (10 years now) has meant that I have been through many different phases and experiences with illness yet never been fully able to push through and leave it behind.
As I am 23 now (soon to be 24!) I am ready to fully commit to recovery and grasp my life back before I miss out on opportunities that I should be part of as an adult now. It has taken over too much of my life and my families lives and I can now see how if I am wanting to move on and have enjoyment, health and happiness in my life, then I have to beat it! I have to face my biggest fears, get comfortable with the most uncomfortable of feelings and do actions instead of just simply words.
Recovering from an eating disorder is most probably the hardest thing I will ever do. But if I am able to do this, then I can face anything!
I hope that you will find my documentation of my recovery journey interesting or even relatable if you are a sufferer. There are so many aspects of the illness I could write about but I aim to keep my writing as open and honest as I can.
It won't be perfect, but I don't believe that there is anything as such.
