I've called back into all my old habits

I was doing so well. I was eating 3 meals a day and working out regularly. I was at a good weight and finally feeling happy. But then Covid hit and I had to move back in with my parents. I got really sick and gained 50lbs. Now being back with my triggering mother sent me back into all my old habits. I'm skipping meals, purging, taking laxatives, I feel so awful 😞

Although I can't personally relate to an eating disorder, through trauma, I know all too well just how much of an important factor our living environment/situation can play in regards to our mental health.

I want you to know that what you're going through and dealing with is valid; dealing with trauma triggers by themselves is bad enough, but having to deal with them on the regular does not make life any easier at all.

Thank you for reaching out.
