falling-d0wn-the-rabbit-h0le asked: Hi, I was clinically diagnosed with anorexia nervosa two years ago, I've been through years of therapy and my weight is now healthy and stable. The only thing is I never really stopped purging. At my worst I would purge 7-8x a day and ate only 500 calories max. After weight recovery everyone thinks Ive stopped. I'm really smart and I know how to get around it without anyone noticing ....

livleeny asked: You are so amazing and inspiring! I love your posts! I went from an anorexic to recovery and believed life couldn't be better. At least not until two years ago where I became overweight and was diagnosed with depression and PCOS. A part of me really feel like relapsing but another part of me knows that relapse will only serve to make me more miserable. I'm not fully recovered yet but I...
thisheartinmyhands asked: Hi there. Last fall I struggled a lot with calorie restricting and exercising and I finally decided to try recovery around Christmas time. The thing is, I don't really know if I still have a problem. I'm eating again and I've gained 8 pounds, so I think I'm fine. But lately I've been feeling so weak and dizzy and my arms and legs keep going numb and my friends think I...
journeyforhappiness asked: How do you get over the thought of never being "sick enough". Of wanting recovery but feeling like you never got down to a low enough weight. Being diagnosed with Bulimia but craving Anorexia.

Anonymous asked: Do you have any advice on how not to isolate yourself while in recovery? I've made some improvements by signing up for a 4 week yoga 101 class and volunteering a little. But I still feel isolated and unsatisfied. I suppose i had it built up in my head that recovery would lead to an awesome life without putting in any effort socially.
Anonymous asked: What do you think about medication? I'm currently in IOP treatment and my dietitian and therapist both think anti-anxiety pills will help me because I don't seem to be gaining weight. I stopped going to the gym and I try increasing my caloric intake everyday but I guess I'm still holding back a little. And they say the meds can take the edge off. I don't like the sound of it...

Anonymous asked: Hi! I love your blog and the positive quotes always help me to push through :). I have been pushing towards recovery in the last year. I am healthier, happier, and most days feel fantastic! However, last week I tried on an old pair of jeans from when I was at my worst with ED (a year ago) - needless to say - they didn't fit. I panicked, cried, broke down, etc. How did you deal with gaining...

comemorninglightleprechaun asked: I don't know if you have any experience with self-harm, but I'm in the process of recovering from that. Do you have any suggestions of things that might help when urges strike and do you have any advice or anything? Thanks much xoxox

fighting-f0r-recovery asked: I just wanted to let you know your page is so inspirational. I'm currently recovering from bulimia. I just chose recovery in the middle of February so I'm new at 'loving myself' but this page gives me hope and a reason to keep moving forward. You're story is amazing and you are a true inspiration to woman with eating disorders. <3
Anonymous asked: I think everyone around me thinks that Im stronger and further ahead mentally than I feel myself. I want to proove to myself and them that I actually there but struggle to adopt normal behaviours when following a not normal menu plan.I look to other people for guidance on how to do things but its not the same as what I am looking for myself even though I dont know what it is I am looking for. I...
