Breaking Free from the Burden: A Journey Through Eating Disorders
Tumblr media
Eating disorders are a complex and serious issue that affects millions of individuals around the world. They can take many forms, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. Regardless of the type, all eating disorders involve distorted thoughts and behaviors around food, weight, and body image.
The journey through an eating disorder is a difficult one, and it can be especially challenging to break free from the burden and start a path to recovery. However, it is possible to overcome these struggles and reclaim your life.
Here are some steps that may help you or a loved one begin the journey towards recovery from an eating disorder:
Seek professional help: This is one of the most important steps in the journey towards recovery. A mental health professional can provide you with the support, guidance, and tools you need to overcome your eating disorder.
Educate yourself: Understanding the root causes of your eating disorder and how it has affected your life can be empowering. Read books, talk to others in recovery, and attend support groups to gain knowledge and perspective.
Practice self-care: Taking care of your physical and emotional needs is crucial for recovery. This can include engaging in physical activity, getting enough sleep, and finding healthy ways to manage stress.
Challenge negative thoughts: Eating disorders often involve negative and distorted thoughts about food, weight, and body image. It's important to challenge these thoughts and replace them with more positive and realistic ones.
Build a support network: Surrounding yourself with positive and supportive people can help you stay on track and overcome setbacks. This can include family, friends, and support groups.
Find new sources of fulfillment: Eating disorders can often become a source of identity and fulfillment. It's important to find new and healthy ways to feel good about yourself, such as pursuing hobbies or interests.
Breaking free from the burden of an eating disorder is a journey, but with the right support and resources, it is possible to recover and live a fulfilling life. Remember to be kind and patient with yourself, and take it one day at a time.

Let's talk about the anorexia-stereotype of doing everything perfectly
They typical anorexic is shown as the perfect, smiling student, studying the whole night, getting perfect grades, doing workout after workout and never eating
And while that may be true for some, in my experience most people are totally different from what's known as the perfect anorexic.
For me it's struggling the whole day and night, if I should eat, what I should eat.
It's struggling to even get up because your body can't take starvation anymore.
It's sleeping the whole day, because you're missing nutrients and you were kept awake by your thoughts the whole night.
It's being freezingly cold, which results in you not being able to do anything with your fingers for example writing.
It's the time consumption taking everything away from you. Your family, your hobbies, your school work.
It's binging that makes you feel like you failed as an anorexic.
Not only your organs failing but also your will to live, your energy, your grades, your hygiene, your hobbies, your friends, your family.
Stop expecting perfection from someone with an eating disorder.

BLOCK! DON’T REPORT.
i had an ed blog long agoe that got t worded once. i’m begging you, PLEASE BLOCK AND DON’T REPORT!!
this is the only place i feel safe and accepted in when talking about my ed, because the people i interact with are going through the same, or something similar. anywhere else, i feel like people judge me for talking about my mental health, especially my eating disorder because of the way i look. don’t ruin this for me. please.

‘But my eating disorder is Different’
I know that people with that BMI look underweight, but I don’t. Eating the amount that I am is dangerous for other people's bodies, but not for mine. People with anorexia think they’re bigger than they are, but I am as big as I think. Eating disorder sufferers deserve treatment and support, but I don’t. Behaviours are damaging and can be life-threatening, but mine aren't. Some people with anorexia are in denial, but I know the truth about my body. Irrational thinking is common in eating disorders, but my thoughts are rational. People who are underweight need to gain weight, but I don't. Recovering anorexics shouldn't exercise, but I can. Having an eating disorder can be fatal, but not for me.
If you have an eating disorder, its likely you have thought or said some form of these 'I do not follow the rule' statements. They are pure eating disorder nonsense. If you know something would or should apply to someone with your diagnosis/BMI/health/stage of recovery but not you then I can almost assure you it applies to you too. Don't be fooled by your illness trying to convince you that you are the exception to the rule.

why can’t i just heal?
all day i strive to fit an idea that could never be.
i try so hard to manipulate rational thoughts
into something that is twisted
just so i can have a sense of control,
a sense of identity,
maybe even a sense of belonging,
anything, just so i can feel satisfied once more.
i work myself to look the best ever,
to be the ‘thinspo’ once more,
even though i know it’s slowly killing me inside.
yet i don’t want it to stop.
why do i not want it to stop?
i know this can’t be continued for much longer.
yet i just don’t seem to have the effort to recover.
it’s just easier to give in.
every time i try and push myself
i always end up regretting it later.
food dominates my mind but i am never satisfied.
all in efforts to be something unsustainable, unachievable.
the guilt runs through my body,
a feeling i am so accustomed to,
every time i even think about eating an ‘unhealthy’ food:
don’t think about it,
you’re not allowed,
that doesn’t follow the rules.
why is it so hard to shake this vicious cycle?
to get rid of the feelings of worthlessness?
what should be making me better is ripping me apart.
causing so much inner turmoil,
pulling my relationships onto threads,
making me live a life full of lies and secrets.
so if i’m aware of all of this why can’t i heal?
a question i ask myself so often:
why can’t i just heal.
