In all of the positivity and hope I try to share in the dark place of eating disorder recovery, I feel it’s important to address a very painful, but a very real truth: Sometimes, all the coping skills, encouragement, advice, and support in the world don’t seem enough. Sometimes, the feelings that come from battling an eating disorder and striving towards recovery can feel so overwhelming that it’s almost suffocating. In those moments, it’s crucial to remember that it’s okay to feel this way. It will pass. And no matter how I feel, no matter how I act, and no matter what I think, I will be okay, and I am inherently worthy of love.
