Hello everyone :)
To make it short and simple, I’ve basically felt guilty or invalid when I’ve gone through a meal/a day of eating without crying?? Logically I know this is ridiculous, (and maybe it doesn’t make any sense either), but I have no idea why I’m feeling like this (and I’m feeling very conflicted about it, like I’m a fraud or smth regarding my ed.) Am I the only one, or has anyone else experienced this too?
Hello all. xx
I’ve been feeling a little discouraged in my recovery lately, and I’ve been coming up with different reasons to recover to try and help me stick to all of these new “habits”.
I’m curious to hear other people’s motivators? There are SO many reasons to recover, but I’m in a phase where it all feels very overwhelming and difficult to navigate, so I’d really appreciate some of y’all’s thoughts on this.
With summer approaching, I’ve been finding it really difficult to decide on what to wear to feel both comfortable whilst not sweating to death either.
Does anyone have any recommendations on what to wear (and any specific brands ya’ll recommend?)
Mostly I’ve been wearing baggy and loose fitting t-shirts to avoid accidentally triggering myself (usually summer = brutal body checking all season for me), but I do still want to have a broader variety of choices so I don’t just wear t-shirts & uncomfortably hot jeans all summer.
I’ve heard of covering up mirrors in recovery to avoid compulsive body checking.
I’ve been considering doing so, but I’m not sure how it’ll help. Has anyone tried this? And if so, did it help to reduce the behaviour? I feel like I may get more urges to check if it’s covered up, but I’m not sure what others have experienced.
(and what’s good to use? I have a full length mirror and I’m afraid that the spare sheets I have aren’t long enough to cover it wholly.)
