Anorexia and my support for you

If you have seen my previous post. You will already know my story. I have recently recovered from 40 years of Anorexia. It is possible. I have healed my mind with the PTSD. I know recovery is a daily process but I am doing it. It is far better than the illness. If anyone needs support please reach out.

Hello art62grammie :-)

I have not seen your previous posts however well done for beating your Anorexia that takes some strength and most of us suffering with anxiety or PTSD depression etc do have an inner strength it can just take some finding at times

Whatever way anxiety affects you the feelings are the same and just looking around at the people posting you can feel their pain , I am sure even though it may not be Anorexia they may be suffering with they will relate to how you felt when you were at your worse emotionally and answering any of the posts will be more than appreciated on here :-)

Sometimes people struggle actually asking for help and just read the posts and replies but can benefit from doing so :-)

I hope your recovery long continues and you stay in this good place you are at now , you have worked hard and deserve to :-)

Take Care x

Thank you. It was a rough ride for forty years. Dying to Anorexia was no walk in the park. I recover daily to remain recovered. I never knew that I have PTSD until recently. This website has made me realize it. That is ok. I need to know that you all are here for me as well as maybe I can support you at the same time. See, I had repressed fifty years of abuse memories from childhood. That is the reason for my illness in the first place. It all makes sense now with recovery. I am healing the mind. Each painful memory. I process and release. The broken pieces of my life. I have put them back together and am living free. I am not saying it is easy. It is a daily battle. Why should I allow my past abuse to keep me a prisoner? Why should the Anorexia take me? I challenge my Anorexia daily. I love a challenge. I win every time. Anorexia took me at 14 and I did not choose it. It took me. It is not about thinness. It is about control. The abuse was traumatic. I needed control of some sort in my life. It took me. Now I am a survivor and living well. Thank you.
