Eating Disorders and Mental Health - Final Day (free glitter)
Hello everyone, this is the last and final day of the Eating Disorders and Mental Health discussion
Tomorrow, we will start a brand new eating disorder discussion *throws confetti*
For today's question, what is a tip you'd share to someone recovering or making way to recovery from an eating disorder?
As always, please don't hesitate to reach out to a Listener from Browse Listeners if you need 1-on-1 support
If you're a Teen seeking support, feel free to contact me
psst, forum hunt clue: to :)

@blossombreathe

@Emily619 and blossom .... I hear you. My immediate question is How!!!?? ~ Sad Platy
You're not alone and there are people who will support you through this!

@PhoenixAsh
Phoenix - I'd like to believe you, really I would.
I know there are at least 3 teen listeners that have been involved in this ED Forum discussion - where are the adult listeners?
Do you, the teen (L), know the answer? (shakes head at/for self) I don't know who to ask for or look for. ~ Platy
@cyanPlatypus6370
hello there! do you mean the ed forum event? if that's what you mean, you can find more details here :) thank you for your interest!
@windflowers
Hi wind.flowers, No, I was responding to Phoenix's post. Nothing to do with the forum hunt or scavenger hunt or however it is called. Thanks for reading my post though. ~ Platy
@cyanPlatypus6370
oh, so sorry for the confusion! hope it works out for you :)
@cyanPlatypus6370 if you go to browse listeners (or find a listener on app) you can search for adult listeners who listen to topics related to eating disorders
@PhoenixAsh
I was afraid someone would say that. I am highly familiar with Browse Listeners, I appreciate the new search methods, but it still has no way to tell me what type of experience any certain (L) has or if they've only heard 'stuff' about an ED or what. Maybe I'm too picky :( Thanks but that wasn't my question either. Oh well. ~ Platy
Where are all the adults within this forum discussion? Do we have any adult listeners in this? (sigh)
@cyanPlatypus6370 You could include "verified listeners" in your search. There's no guarantee that'll they'll be very experienced, sometimes it takes a few tries to find a listener who works for you ^-^
Sorry for misunderstanding your question though! It seems that no adult listeners have participated in this thread yet, however some participated in earlier posts for this discussion (the first post can be found here). I hope I understood correctly this time!
@PhoenixAsh .... Yes, you've got my question now. Thanks Phoenix. Good night. (well after I get all pre-bed stuff done) ahhhh, I'm tired. ~ Tired, low-energy Platy
@PhoenixAsh
that's true! thank you for sharing :)

@Erato
awe, that's such a nice one!!
Recovery is a journey. It has it's ups and downs and it is not easy. It can take a long time to reach a stable recovery state, but it is possible.
There are usually more resources available than you realize.
No matter what there is someone who loves you. Maybe it's an online friend, a classmate, a sibling, etc. There is someone who cares.
You deserve a life free of this cycle.
@DancingAlong
this is amazing!! thanks for sharing!
Recovery is possible, you're not alone in this and your friends and family are essential in your support system.
Also, it won't be a straight up journey, so please don't hate yourself for not doing it the "rigth" way. And everybody's different, the only right way to do it is yours and only yours
