I’m trying so hard in my recovery and I have made some really good strides but recently I have been getting so discouraged by how uncomfortable my body feels all the time. I’m bloated, puffy, inflamed, achy, sweaty, constipated, and breaking out. All of these changes have turned my anxiety up to a thousand and have left me feeling really depressed. On top of that, not being able to exercises makes me feel like I’m missing out on the one fun thing I used to like. So far, I’ve only slipped a little and have continued to weight restore but I really want to get fully back on track. Any tips on how to move forward?

i really need some advice on how to open up to my friends about my recovery/disorder. when I was deep into my disorder I isolated myself really hard and never told anyone what I was going through and now that I am trying to recover I am scared that they are going to see my constant unavailibilty (because of PHP) as just a continuation of old bad habits. how do I start to repair these relationships and share that I am trying to get better? is there a “right time” to include them in my recover pla?

tomorrow is my sister‘s birthday and she specifically requested burgers and fry’s at her favorite restaurant. I am only about 2 months into recovery and not only are these foods scary for me but I really hate eating out and eating in public. Any tips for how I can tackle this and still be present for my sister‘s celebratio?

this is my first ever post and it is just kind of a rant but I wanted to know if anyone else was feeling how I am bc I feel so guilty and alone. I’m about a month and a half into recovery and have been making a lot of progress as I am no longer UW and have been sticking to my meal plan pretty well. I eat almost every meal with my family which has made me really conscious of how I act around food bc I don’t want my sister to see me and think that food is something that should be upsetting/scary and my parents tend to get mad when I cry or exhibit my anxiety around food in front of them. Recently this has made me feel like I’m “faking” bc I feel like I should be far more distraught at eating/gaining. Is this relatable to anyone? How did you move past this feeling bc i feel like it is keeping me stuck rn 🙁
