Anorexia in remission? Or just lying dormant?
I was recently told by my therapist that she considers my anorexia to be on remission. But I still hear my eating disorder voice, especially lately. I spent 6 weeks in an eating disorder hospital two years ago that changed my life. But lately I feel critical of myself, and I hear Ana telling me I’m ugly and until my stomach is flat I’m trash. It’s painful that my mind can turn on my body and my spirit- but that’s why it’s important to me to keep the horrifying past of my ED fresh in my mind so I don’t spend another summer in a hospital.

Having undergone such an experience you wouldn't want to spend another summer in hospital, can understand that . I hope you're able to do what is needed in taking care of yourself and not allowing your ED to relapse .
Don't listen to the harsh voice of a critique . You're not trash if you don't have a flat tummy. And a flat tummy doesn't define your worth, you're more than that ❤ maybe try and create a new voice of self love for yourself which accepts your body in all shapes and seasons. Being healthy and happy is the goal .
