Iv been struggling with an eating disorder for years now. Iv been to therapy for it but I’m just stuck on the thought that if I gain weight I’ll be some ugly. I know that’s not true but I’m just really scared. Can anyone help me ?

@izzyb11073 I'm really glad you reached out, it's a significant step to talk about your struggles with an eating disorder. Dealing with an eating disorder is incredibly challenging, and it's a common fear to associate weight gain with negative self-image, but it's important to remember that your self-worth isn't determined by your appearance.

Therapy is an essential step in recovery, and it's great that you've sought professional help. If you ever feel overwhelmed or stuck, it might be helpful to discuss these specific fears and anxieties with your therapist. They can provide guidance and strategies to help you work through these thoughts.

You're not alone in this journey, and many people have faced and overcome similar challenges. Continue to be kind to yourself, and if you ever need someone to talk to or share your concerns with, we're here to listen and provide support 💜
