Over the past several months, I have received a lot of messages on social media asking me to speak about eating disorders, particularly in relation to autism, but I haven’t really felt able to speak about it. Becoming unwell last year took me by surprise, and I think it’s hard to balance eating disorder recovery with sharing things responsibly online. But, now I’m a lot better than I was, I am sharing little bits and pieces here and there.
I have scribbled down a lot of thoughts and quotes in my journal over the past six months, some of which I have repeated over and over again in my head as I embarked on a journey of recovery. I have always found comfort in words and this battle has been no different. Today I wanted to share some of the words that I have clung to for hope, because I hope they might be comforting to others struggling.
