Does anyone relate to this? Please help
I've been having doubts about starting recovery, and one of my biggest struggles is I feel like I dont deserve it. The thing is, that I've only been struggling with what I'm certain is anorexia only for a little over 6 months until now. Every person I've seen on the internet has been struggling for years and that kind of justifies their need to recover? I seriously don't know and feel like I don't deserve to recover yet... Any thoughts on this? Does anyone have any similar experiences?
@lemondime Your struggles are real, you deserve help. Your journey, your eating disorder, your recovery is going to be different from anyone else's. Each and every story is different and it doesn't matter if you struggled for a month or 10 years. It's valid, it's real, and you deserve help and support. Not feeling like you deserve help is what an eating disorder would say to stop you from getting better because the eating disorder has a different agenda.
Yeah your right, it's very hard to see it that way bc of the short time I have dealt with this, but I'll try my best to ignore these thoughts and finally seek for help :( wish me luck hehe
@lemondime Best of luck!
