Long term recovery challenged by COVID lockdown

Hello! I’m new here and am wondering if anyone here has been in recovery/recovered from an ED but has found COVID lockdown and constant work from home a trigger that’s brought up long-buried thoughts and behaviors?


I was treated back in 2012 for AN (b/p subtype) and have been on a steady recovery journey and I want it to stay that way!! But I am finding that working from home and the constant pressure to stay home/ not go and do things in the “real world” has been… extra difficult in keeping myself on track and I am maybe overthinking my food decisions way too much because I’m scared that I am listening to the old ED voice?


Anyone else in a similar position with advice or want to connect for support and accountability?

i can relate to this, but in the sense that social isolation caused my Ed behaviors to sky rocket due to all of the spare time I've had :/

sending you all my strength and light <3
