I have this problem where if I don’t workout I feel like I can’t eat. I know my body needs the calories to function but I just get a lot of anxiety. I think what it comes down to is my self worth and trying to be noticed in some way. It’s hard to eat some days

@secretLavender0602 - I think those feelings are fairly common with eating disorders and they can be tough to overcome. One thing that I find helpful sometimes when I am having a hard time being kind to myself is to reframe it and think about what I would want a friend or a child I loved to do in the situation, or what I would say to them if they said the things I was thinking, and then trying to turn it around on myself.
