Recovery ?
Hi all in new to this and I’ve been struggling with anorexia since my early teens I’m now 22 but I started recovery 2 years ago and all was going well until I got bad last year . I was just wondering why is it that recovery has good and bad days but the illness never goes away as in it will always be part of me but not as who l am as a person ? Sorry it’s a bit of a rant just had to type out how I’m feeling ...
@Leah981 I'm glad to hear you've entered recovery and are taking steps to feel better. It's so hard to have bad days after you've been doing better in recovery. I'm sorry you're going through this.
I like what you said-- even though your eating disorder has been a part of you for so long, it does not define who you are as a person.
It's okay to rant! That's a great way to figure out how you're feeling. I'm glad you found this site because that is what's advocated here, talking about what's on your mind. If you need a listener, don't hesitate to reach out.
Thank you so much !!
@Leah981 Sometimes life is just shit. I don't even know why. Bad days are really hard, and it's hard to get through them - I totally get that. But I can tell you it will get better at some point.
Please feel free to rant whenever, we are here for you! 
Thank you so much !!!
