Hi Ro, you’ve been missed ! Just wanted to share some positivity . I’m currently in the process of moving into a new phase of my life , going to film school and going on new adventures. It’s so beautiful to have finally found something to care about more than obeying anorexia. To anyone reading , it can get better , but taking the first steps is your responsibility.
My therapist once told me that initially it's a good thing that I am terrified of relapsing because this means that I'm seeing the ED for what it truly is (and not as a lifesaver which is how I saw it before) and also it means that I am actively working on not falling back. She said to watch out for moments when I think of it as a good thing or as a welcoming/comforting thing because those are the moments that are tricky and dangerous. Years later I've then had moments like these and it immediately rang so many alarms in my head. I don’t know whether this makes sense to anyone but it really helps me
The fact that you’re no longer afraid to go out, socialize or watching the Barbie premiere because of your eating disorder but your ptsd, that’s a win. Now you can just focus on your exposure therapy and be even stronger - so proud🎀💕
Hi Ro, I'm 13 and I found your channel a couple of weeks into my recovery and honestly you changed my life. Also I have now got an obsession with jellycats and I named my first one after you (Ro the rabbit 😊). You are so strong and I am so proud of how far you have come! You have shown me I'm not alone and I can't thank you enough for that. ❤❤❤
RO THE RABBIT THAT’S TOO CUTE 😭 i’m so proud of you for starting on this journey, please know you are so capable of doing this ✨ thanks for being so lovely
you are the reason i started anorexia recovery. i am now weight restored and doing better than ever. i still struggle, of course, but i probably wouldnt be where i am if it wasnt for you. thank you so much💕
Hi Ro, I don't usually post in the comments or on instagram because I never really know what to say, but I find so much peace watching your videos. My older sister battled from anorexia for 5 years but did not survive it. It has been 3 years since she passed away. During that time for me as a sibling of somebody with an eating disorder, I struggled a lot with my body image, comparing my body and diet to somebody I always looked up to who now was an unhealthy example affected me a lot. I never labelled myself with 'anorexia' but I have extreme self hate, food guilt, mild restrictive tendencies. I have ptsd as well due to trauma in my childhood and the journey I witnessed with my sisters illness and passing. I don't usually share this but I honestly just feel safe when I watch your content. When I am feeling anxious or stressed I always watch your stories on instagram and feel so much more mindful and connected to my true self. I am so proud to see you thrive and heal from your eating disorder, even though my sister never did, I never stopped believing that there was a part of her that wanted to heal and could heal. Seeing you healing reminds me of the part of her that was alive and her true self. I am almost certain she used to watch your videos and she always looked up to eating disorder healers so much. Thankyou for creating a community that shows the beautiful side to being your true authentic self! You are helping so so many, even more (who don't usually comment) than you can ever know 💕💛😊
sending so so so much love your way - i’m truly sorry you’ve had such awful experiences and i hope that in time you can heal from them 🤍 anorexia is a cruel, cruel illness. thank you for your kind words xx
omg you don't actually ramble! you're explaining valuable and enlightening details that are the REASON we all follow you! i think we're socialised to take up less time and space, and we have to remind ourselves it's ok to be our full selves. "you're not a waste of time" just like "you're not a waste of space"!
Found you right at the start of your journey (maybe second video). At that point I was deep in a serious relapse with no possibility to get treatment in my country because I'm an adult and we barely even have enough therapy places for kids/teens. Your videos really had an impact and gave me the courage to try recovery on my own almost a year ago. I still have a long way to go but I can proudly say I've challenged almost all fear foods, my body is healthy again AND as of today I'm 150 days p*rge-free 😊
first of all i’m so sorry you didn’t have access to support, that is so wrong on so many levels!! BUT i am so so SO proud of you. recovery is so hard but it’s so worth it + you’re smashing it!! ✨⭐️ you are just amazing and i hope you know that. so glad i’ve been there for you with my videos 🥺
This video is SO encouraging. I have PTSD and I'm starting EMDR soon and your progress is so comforting. I know it's a long process, but it will eventually get better. I'm terrified of starting EMDR but what I'm going through right now is much, much worse.
I have been doing EMDR for a couple of years now. My therapist has me hold two buzzers that i hold in either hand, and they buzz in a rhythm while I walk through and process memories. What i can tell, it is activating both sides of your brain, like what happens when walking, and it is easier to access information. My biggest nightmares have stopped too, the ones that would tell me things that would effect my daily life. It is incredible how the mind and body will journey through it - and each memory processes differently. I realize that mental health is a lifelong maintenance, and I am finally looking forward to that. PS i like your Bad Snacks music choice ❤ i keep trying to lure her up to Alaska for a music festival lol
You have a level of intellectualism that I strive for and I’m so proud of you. You inspire me in more ways than one and you’re a light to social media and the world. Thank you for everything.
Hi ro :) I’m so happy you uploaded.I’m so close to going to college in September. I finally feel like I’m leaving my Ed behind, I’ve truly found myself again and I couldn’t be happier. Your videos have helped me so much these last few years. Without you I would’ve never started recovery, and without recovery I wouldn’t have the life I have now. I’m forever proud and forever thankful ro, I can’t wait until the day I can say I’m completely Ed free , but I’m closer than I’ve ever been. Thank you ro
You saying that you felt pretty in that pink dress that you wore to the Barbie premiere made me grin like an idiot. ❤❤ Seriously, that made me so happy for you!! Seeing how far you've come, hearing you say that made me feel full of hope. So proud of your progress - with recovery over the past 2 years, EMDR therapy and your journey with navigating life while struggling - and there couldn't be a more inspirational and kind person talking about these things than you out there!! ❤❤
So proud of you Ro xx I’m struggling with eating for the first time in my life because of my depression so I’ve been watching your old videos. So comforting ❤️ also watched barbie and Oppenheimer both amazing 🤩
I have had a truly horrible mental health week but this just made my day a little better. I just want you to know Ro that you are greatly appreciated and your content always gives a spark of joy to my day. Sending you lots of love and support from Guatemala ✨🤍🇬🇹
When you started RUclips I was there and that next week I started second guessing my anorexia. That week I told my momma. That week I realized I wasn’t healthy or happy. My ED was to strong and I gave up and almost died. I was gone for a month and went on RUclips I saw you and again you made me second guess I tried so hard to recover and gained a little weight but than I relapsed and was sent to a ed hospital. I stayed there for 4 months. Once I got out I saw your video and I finally told myself no I was not going to relapse I was miserable and at that time you were already getting so much better and I started balling my eyes out because during that time I could have recovered, recovered with you! I started taking my meds and not hiding them. I started becoming happy again and once and now here I am. Here WE ARE. All of us. We did it Ro. And I couldn’t have done it without you. You saved me.
Yes. I was thinking the same. I'm that person who will walk around the scary parts of London at night, because it feels more safe than being in my house (or any house.)
Ro you are such a massive inspiration to so many people, I thought of you so much when I watched Barbie, you are glowing girl and I look up to you so much. Take care of yourself and keep shining! ❤❤ Bit of context I have gone through ED recovery at a similar pace to you (granted that everyone’s journey is completely different)
I’m currently in trauma therapy doing EMDR and DMR. It’s been eye opening so far. Im so happy to hear you’re having a positive experience with therapy and healing. I’ve been watching you for a long time and you’ve been very inspiring as I’m also struggling with anorexia and trying to recover and heal. I’m extremely proud of you and your vulnerability and growth. ❤
hi ro! recently, my parents have been trying to help me recover, and it’s been really difficult. after every meal I always watch one of your videos to help me feel better about guilt after eating, and it always works :) i just really wanna say thank you for literally existing
I’m so proud of you Ro! You are such a strong human being, through ups and downs. You channel makes me feel safe, I love you so much thank you for being you❤️
You are absolutely beautiful, inside and out! I love watching your journey. I have struggled since my late teens with ED and I am in my 50’s. You have given me such a great mindset on many a difficult day. I have begun to embrace the “whatever others will be thinking today is 100% on them and has no bearing on me. Keep doing you Ro and I will continue to follow along for your “wise beyond your years” mindset that has helped me SOO MUCH!
a bit late to watching this but I am genuinely so proud of you of where you are! thank you so much for all of these supportive videos! they have never failed to make me feel comforting and a refresher/ reminder of my worth and the amount of effort i have put in to get to this point.
To the post office 😍😍😍 !!! Imagining you not only walking out to the end of the block but out to public to a place where you can accomplish a task and see people is so exciting! So proud of you
I’ve missed seeing you 🤗 I just recently closed my instagram account because it was causing my anxiety and depression to become worse, so now I don’t see you but on here. You look so beautiful and so happy! Please keep doing more videos so I can continue to watch you on your journey! My mom and I love you Ro🥰
I love listening to you, it is so calming and I really enjoy every kind of content you create. You affected my decision to choose recovery a lot (in a positive way!) and watching you, how strong you have got, is so inspiring to me. Honestly, you are my favourite content creator. But I also want to say, that you are not "just" RUclipsr or creator on social media. I don't know you personally, but you are such a lovely, kind and beautiful soul and your channel is definetly a "safe place" for me. I want to thank you so so much and I am wishing you the best! :)
Thank you. you *inspired* me to be brave and finally start walking. It's such a struggle and things scare me like barking dogs trigger me because they startle me. Focusing on proper breathing is helping.
hi ro! I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and you’ve really helped me with my ED. ive been struggling a lot with food and i have not been able to tell anyone but your videos have really been a help to me. ❤️
hi ro :) i’ve been following you through your recovery journey and i’m finally ready to start mine. i love watching your videos when i am not feeling the best (especially what i eat in a days). you make me see recovering is a good thing and not something to be terrified about. 🙂
Hello Ro, I never had an anorexia, but my experience with an eating disorder was really awful. I'm in a recovery and trying really hard to let myself live a full life and not thinking about food and exercise all the time. Channels like yours really help me with that so i just want to thank you❤ And also you look so amazing and this haircut suits you so much
i have so many things to say about this video and how wonderful it is and all the important points you made but i don't want to overthink what i write so i just want to say it was so lovely and also healing to her you say at the end "i always try my best" 💚
Ro, I always feel like I'm catching up with a friend whenever your videos pop up in my subscription box. You have the sweetest personality and I'm so proud of you and how far you've come, and your content has helped me in times where I was struggling. Thank you. Have a lovely day xx
Hi Ro, I love your videos soo muchhh and I'm so proud of you girl❤:) . Because you've been improving a lot for the last 2 years. It's so amazing keep trying and never give up. Love from Iran❤ See there are people all around the world who watch your videos😍💗🤗🙋🏻♀️
I tune into ur vids sitting or having you on as a background whilst I cook and I still feel genuinely engaged whenever I watch ur vids made me come to terms with a lot within myself, sending love.
literally in love w u and ur content. thank you for everything you do and how open you are with us, i dont think you know how helpful you are/continue to be
Omg! It's been a long time since I saw you before! It was like 2~3 years ago and what i see is perfectly healthy & looking good girl !! I didn't watch the video yet but the thumbnail itself is surely surprising me !!
idk if you’ll ever see my comment, but i need to get my thoughts out there. rediscovering ur channel after about a year, i’m so incredibly proud of how far you’ve gone :) i have recently relapsed about a month ago, but after watching your videos yesterday and today, i feel highly motivated to try and recover. i want to be able to live and eat the way you do. i want to put myself, my freedom, and my happiness first, starting today. i can’t ever thank you enough
it’s definitely difficult but with ptsd often you are forced to think about them / relive them anyway, it’s horrible to put yourself in that position by choice but doing it means long term you don’t get the uncontrollable intrusions etc xx
RO ILYSM!! Ur videos are AMAZING and I gotta be honest I kinda half forgot I subed to u, and then when u posted last night it all came back to me and I was like YAYYY SHE POSTED AGAIN and I was super happy.
I’m not yet weight restored from 23 years of anorexia and I found out yesterday I am pregnant. I cannot carry this physically and I feel lost and trapped and a stranger in my body again. After months of taking control of my weight and my eating disorder it feels like its been ripped away from me. I cannot tell my husband as he is going through his own struggles and I’m feeling alone and panicky. After only one day I’m slipping back into terrible coping mechanisms… edit I’m sorry for dumping, this is a lovely video and have followed ro since day 1, this video came at the right time for me to refocus and remember to prioritize myself, again I’m sorry
i hope you’re ok🥺 it’s really hard to recover, i’m still recovering but it’s so worth it. i used to feel on edge ALL the time like i was just waiting for something to happen, but recovery gives me something to look forward to. i hope you can recover for you and your baby but most importantly is for YOU! recovery for yourself and i hope you stay safe x
I am sorry you are going through this. I am sure that you imagined falling pregnant to be a much happier experience. But what a wonderful thing it is that you _can_ get pregnant, as this is not the case for all women who have struggled for such a long time. I'd really like to encourage you to talk about it with your husband. After all, you are married to go through life together and support each other with your struggles, you with his and he with yours, aren't you? And may I remind you that just because you are slipping back into coping mechanisms right now does not mean that there is no coming back from this? It's completely understandable to have a relapse as being pregnant comes with so many emotions (partly induced by the life changing experience it is, partly induced by hormones itself), so I hope you will be able to be kind and forgiving to yourself and find your strength again. I take from your comment that you have been healing in your anorexia recovery and I hope this gives you courage to believe that you are stronger and healthier, both mentally and physically, than before. Relapses are part of recovery. The skill you gain throughout your recovery is to bounce back from them. You've done it before, you can do it again. I wish you all the best. ❤
Ro how did you get a peer support worker? My friend could really do with one for his agoraphobia recovery journey 🥰 so proud of you and all your therapy you got this! 💛
Hi, I don't know whether you remember her but she was a regular viewer and commenter but my sister Harmony Hope passed away at the end of May. She loved your channel and really wanted to be on recovery but sadly it was not to be
Omg if I'm thinking about the same person, I never knew her but she commented a lot of ros videos along w other people who shared similar struggles, just lovely things, I'm so sorry for your loss ❤❤❤
oh no😭😭 i’m heartbroken… i absolutely remember her. that’s so so so sad, i’m devastated to hear she lost her fight 💔 she was so so kind and she deserved so much more. sending so much love and i hope you’re doing okay xx
The nightmare thing is so true. I don’t get nightmares (anymore lol) but I do suffer from this thing called epic dreaming which is where it feels like you dream all night and the dreams are incredibly stressful, basically like you went to a full day of work while you were asleep. Idk if anyone else has this but waking up exhausted every day also makes the days blur together because you no longer have sleep really drawing the lines between the days.
Been following you since the beginning and it is phenomenal to see your growth! As a podcast person, I would love to plug Maintenance Phase to debunk a lot of diet culture and nutrition views )
Hi Ro. I’m 15 and I have had my trip with anorexia. I’ve been in treatment, and I was doing so well but now I am binging very bad. Did you ever experience this? Thank you for your videos. Pls never be hard on yourself and be patient with yourself, we all love you and you are my idol 😊❤
If you have struggled with a restrictive eating disorder, it is normal to experience an intense urge to eat in recovery. As your body comes out of a starved state and you signal to it that there is food available, your body will naturally try to reverse the results of restriction. This is not unhealthy binging. It is your body healing . Trust it x If you are genuinely concerned, speak to your treatment team or reach out to support networks
Your video popped up in my feed and though I don't have the same struggles, we all have struggles, and I felt moved to share this. Personally I have never been small. Always a thicker build since I was a kid. So the opposite tendancy I guess. I am older now, 42, and for life since University, my goal was to eat healthy, but to eat. To enjoy myself. To enjoy food and nourishment as it is the most natural pleasure! And obviously needed. To learn to love and accept my body, despite it not being whatever society dictates is beautiful. As you get older, you realize, or you should realize, that all of that comparing and changing of self, is all complete nonsense and a waste of time. It is a harder world to be in for you yonger girls and women now. The pressure to be this ridiculous, so called perfect, fake, idea, that is so far from reality. Botox, so much makeup, surgery and fillers and on and on. It is like society is telling us women that we are so awful as ourselves that we have to turn ourselves into something else that isnt real. It is horrible, cruel, a lie and just another form of oppressing women. We have power as ourselves. There is nothi g wrong or not beautiful about any of us! We do not need to coat of hair and bodies in cancer causing chemicals etc. We need to band together and stop the attack on ourselves and love ourselves again! We are all different, so for there to be one ideal look, is absurd. We are all how we are meant to be, our size and shape, when we eat healthy and don't deprive ourselves. There will always be something we wish we were but aren't. Always. But it is not reality, and life is too short and hard enough. Take care of yourself and love yourself and don't give any fucks about fads and beauty standards that aren't real and are meant only to oppress us as women. Learn to value and take care of your health. That is what is truly important. Glad that you have healed a lot in your journey. Here's to more healing in the future, for you and all of us women!
It’s an amazing thing that pink no longer just symbolises hyper feminism and a femme fatale but is now a colour in its own right; feminists can and do wear pink!
Hi Ro, I enjoy watching your videos.. I tried reading up on PTSD and links to EDs. I am just not quite understanding..i was hoping you’d clarify how this began, did you always have this ptsd problem or did it arise once you recovered from the ED? I am trying to educate myself further. Thank you for sharing your personal challenge
I’m glad you are doing well! Sometimes I didn’t have energy to eat or take a shower after therapy. You are doing a great job!!! I can’t understand what you are talking because of all the acronyms…but I understand it might be something difficult for you to speak and that’s the reason why you don’t speak the whole words.
I watched it again. I think I understand it now. CBT is probably cannabis used as medicine? NHS is National Health System? I’m sorry. I got overwhelmed because I thought I wouldn’t be able to understand. Thank you for your kind reply!
Every body stop what you are doing. Our favourite person in the internet just posted.
STOP 😭 ily
Get out of my head but OK *sits

thank you! i don’t feel pressure from others tbh, only the pressure i put on myself because i enjoy making videos! :)
hi ro! recently, my parents have been trying to help me recover, and it’s been really difficult. after every meal I always watch one of your videos to help me feel better about guilt after eating, and it always works :) i just really wanna say thank you for literally existing
idk your videos are so validating and help me have compassion for myself
Also, just saw Barbie yesterday and Omg. So worth it. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me feel so empowered. Loved it
I’m so proud of you Ro! You are such a strong human being, through ups and downs. You channel makes me feel safe, I love you so much thank you for being you❤️

You have given me such a great mindset on many a difficult day. I have begun to embrace the “whatever others will be thinking today is 100% on them and has no bearing on me. Keep doing you Ro and I will continue to follow along for your “wise beyond your years” mindset that has helped me SOO MUCH!
rewatching every single video on your channel is my plan for holidays ✨ ur glowing sis
a bit late to watching this but I am genuinely so proud of you of where you are! thank you so much for all of these supportive videos! they have never failed to make me feel comforting and a refresher/ reminder of my worth and the amount of effort i have put in to get to this point.
To the post office 😍😍😍 !!! Imagining you not only walking out to the end of the block but out to public to a place where you can accomplish a task and see people is so exciting! So proud of you
I’ve missed seeing you 🤗 I just recently closed my instagram account because it was causing my anxiety and depression to become worse, so now I don’t see you but on here. You look so beautiful and so happy! Please keep doing more videos so I can continue to watch you on your journey! My mom and I love you Ro🥰
thank you! i totally get why you’d leave instagram, don’t worry i’ll be making many more youtube vids 🫶🏻🫶🏻
🤗🤗🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️
Also did EMDR. I can handle triggers a lot better now! You go woman! Love ur vid! ❤
Honestly i can explain hkw uch 6ou have helped me during recovery. No matter the day i have had i know i can always seek comfort from ur videos ❤
I love listening to you, it is so calming and I really enjoy every kind of content you create. You affected my decision to choose recovery a lot (in a positive way!) and watching you, how strong you have got, is so inspiring to me. Honestly, you are my favourite content creator. But I also want to say, that you are not "just" RUclipsr or creator on social media. I don't know you personally, but you are such a lovely, kind and beautiful soul and your channel is definetly a "safe place" for me. I want to thank you so so much and I am wishing you the best! :)
Thank you. you *inspired* me to be brave and finally start walking. It's such a struggle and things scare me like barking dogs trigger me because they startle me. Focusing on proper breathing is helping.
hi ro! I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and you’ve really helped me with my ED. ive been struggling a lot with food and i have not been able to tell anyone but your videos have really been a help to me. ❤️
Aaaah, it's always so good to see a chatty video from you Ro. :) thank you for being here & for being you!
hi ro :) i’ve been following you through your recovery journey and i’m finally ready to start mine. i love watching your videos when i am not feeling the best (especially what i eat in a days). you make me see recovering is a good thing and not something to be terrified about. 🙂
this means so much 🤍 you’ve got this x
Hello Ro, I never had an anorexia, but my experience with an eating disorder was really awful. I'm in a recovery and trying really hard to let myself live a full life and not thinking about food and exercise all the time. Channels like yours really help me with that so i just want to thank you❤ And also you look so amazing and this haircut suits you so much
i have not seen you in over a year and this video made me so happy, to see you doing well and staying strong ❤
Your calming energy reminds me of my lovely therapist❤
WELCOME BACK!! Love the new makeup look :O
Don't worry about missing uploads, your mental health and recovery comes first!! 💚💚💚
i have so many things to say about this video and how wonderful it is and all the important points you made but i don't want to overthink what i write so i just want to say it was so lovely and also healing to her you say at the end "i always try my best" 💚
Ro, I always feel like I'm catching up with a friend whenever your videos pop up in my subscription box.
You have the sweetest personality and I'm so proud of you and how far you've come, and your content has helped me in times where I was struggling. Thank you.
Have a lovely day xx

idk if you’ll ever see my comment, but i need to get my thoughts out there. rediscovering ur channel after about a year, i’m so incredibly proud of how far you’ve gone :) i have recently relapsed about a month ago, but after watching your videos yesterday and today, i feel highly motivated to try and recover. i want to be able to live and eat the way you do. i want to put myself, my freedom, and my happiness first, starting today. i can’t ever thank you enough
i love you ro and i am so proud of you
Thank You very much Ro for this video! It means a lot for a many of us! 😀
love you Ro
Randomly saw an old video of yours. Panicked and had to make sure you were doing good. Thank God. Good luck gorgeous.
I’m starting EMDR in a couple of weeks and I’m feeling extremely anxious about having to actively think about my traumas and face up to them.
it’s definitely difficult but with ptsd often you are forced to think about them / relive them anyway, it’s horrible to put yourself in that position by choice but doing it means long term you don’t get the uncontrollable intrusions etc xx
We missed you here Ro 🌷❤️
lots and lots of love and support to you ro!
I’m so proud of you! You look amazing❤❤❤
RO ILYSM!! Ur videos are AMAZING and I gotta be honest I kinda half forgot I subed to u, and then when u posted last night it all came back to me and I was like YAYYY SHE POSTED AGAIN and I was super happy.
hahaha yep i’ve been sooo inactive 🫣 but hey! thank u!
@@RoMitchell Haha it's ok we all have busy lives! Btw I'm British too
omgg was just thinking about you, and how I miss your videos! I hope you're doing great, sending lots of love 🫶🏼
I’m not yet weight restored from 23 years of anorexia and I found out yesterday I am pregnant. I cannot carry this physically and I feel lost and trapped and a stranger in my body again. After months of taking control of my weight and my eating disorder it feels like its been ripped away from me. I cannot tell my husband as he is going through his own struggles and I’m feeling alone and panicky. After only one day I’m slipping back into terrible coping mechanisms… edit I’m sorry for dumping, this is a lovely video and have followed ro since day 1, this video came at the right time for me to refocus and remember to prioritize myself, again I’m sorry
i hope you’re ok🥺 it’s really hard to recover, i’m still recovering but it’s so worth it. i used to feel on edge ALL the time like i was just waiting for something to happen, but recovery gives me something to look forward to. i hope you can recover for you and your baby but most importantly is for YOU! recovery for yourself and i hope you stay safe x
I am sorry you are going through this. I am sure that you imagined falling pregnant to be a much happier experience. But what a wonderful thing it is that you _can_ get pregnant, as this is not the case for all women who have struggled for such a long time. I'd really like to encourage you to talk about it with your husband. After all, you are married to go through life together and support each other with your struggles, you with his and he with yours, aren't you? And may I remind you that just because you are slipping back into coping mechanisms right now does not mean that there is no coming back from this? It's completely understandable to have a relapse as being pregnant comes with so many emotions (partly induced by the life changing experience it is, partly induced by hormones itself), so I hope you will be able to be kind and forgiving to yourself and find your strength again. I take from your comment that you have been healing in your anorexia recovery and I hope this gives you courage to believe that you are stronger and healthier, both mentally and physically, than before. Relapses are part of recovery. The skill you gain throughout your recovery is to bounce back from them. You've done it before, you can do it again. I wish you all the best. ❤
Your looking gorgous❤❤ glad your doing so well
I missed you
Ro how did you get a peer support worker? My friend could really do with one for his agoraphobia recovery journey 🥰 so proud of you and all your therapy you got this! 💛
Hi, I don't know whether you remember her but she was a regular viewer and commenter but my sister Harmony Hope passed away at the end of May. She loved your channel and really wanted to be on recovery but sadly it was not to be
Omg if I'm thinking about the same person, I never knew her but she commented a lot of ros videos along w other people who shared similar struggles, just lovely things, I'm so sorry for your loss ❤❤❤
@@actgirl1234567 Yes it probably is her then as she was quite active in the recovery community on You Tube
oh no😭😭 i’m heartbroken… i absolutely remember her. that’s so so so sad, i’m devastated to hear she lost her fight 💔 she was so so kind and she deserved so much more. sending so much love and i hope you’re doing okay xx
@@RoMitchell Thank you. She did deserve more. Like so many she was very let down by services unfortunately. Take care, Katy
@@katyr2382I have no words, just so sorry for your loss. One day we‘ll change the god awful system , it’s failed too many 💔. Stay strong x
The nightmare thing is so true. I don’t get nightmares (anymore lol) but I do suffer from this thing called epic dreaming which is where it feels like you dream all night and the dreams are incredibly stressful, basically like you went to a full day of work while you were asleep. Idk if anyone else has this but waking up exhausted every day also makes the days blur together because you no longer have sleep really drawing the lines between the days.
You looked stunning in the pink dress ❤ xx
You look like a goddess mixed with billie eilish. You are literally so pretty and so kindhearted❤❤
Been following you since the beginning and it is phenomenal to see your growth! As a podcast person, I would love to plug Maintenance Phase to debunk a lot of diet culture and nutrition views )
thanks for posting! sending you lots of support ❤️ i saw you posted and stopped what i was doing to watch this 💌 hope you're doing great
Your priority is you and those who care will know that. ❤
thank you 🤍✨
Sending u lots of love and hugs !!
all the love and hugs back to u 🫂
oh my gosh, i just watched the video for a second time and realised now that i have exactly the same cuddle toy sloth ^^
Your video makes me so happy ❤❤❤
Missed you Ro!
missed you too 🫶🏻
Yay Ro❤ we adore you (:
love you ro 💖
Yay I am so glad you have uploaded😍
Hi Ro. I’m 15 and I have had my trip with anorexia. I’ve been in treatment, and I was doing so well but now I am binging very bad. Did you ever experience this? Thank you for your videos. Pls never be hard on yourself and be patient with yourself, we all love you and you are my idol 😊❤
If you have struggled with a restrictive eating disorder, it is normal to experience an intense urge to eat in recovery. As your body comes out of a starved state and you signal to it that there is food available, your body will naturally try to reverse the results of restriction. This is not unhealthy binging. It is your body healing . Trust it x
If you are genuinely concerned, speak to your treatment team or reach out to support networks
@@bee-2000thank you so much❤
Your video popped up in my feed and though I don't have the same struggles, we all have struggles, and I felt moved to share this.
Personally I have never been small. Always a thicker build since I was a kid. So the opposite tendancy I guess. I am older now, 42, and for life since University, my goal was to eat healthy, but to eat. To enjoy myself. To enjoy food and nourishment as it is the most natural pleasure! And obviously needed. To learn to love and accept my body, despite it not being whatever society dictates is beautiful. As you get older, you realize, or you should realize, that all of that comparing and changing of self, is all complete nonsense and a waste of time. It is a harder world to be in for you yonger girls and women now. The pressure to be this ridiculous, so called perfect, fake, idea, that is so far from reality. Botox, so much makeup, surgery and fillers and on and on. It is like society is telling us women that we are so awful as ourselves that we have to turn ourselves into something else that isnt real. It is horrible, cruel, a lie and just another form of oppressing women. We have power as ourselves. There is nothi g wrong or not beautiful about any of us! We do not need to coat of hair and bodies in cancer causing chemicals etc. We need to band together and stop the attack on ourselves and love ourselves again!
We are all different, so for there to be one ideal look, is absurd. We are all how we are meant to be, our size and shape, when we eat healthy and don't deprive ourselves. There will always be something we wish we were but aren't. Always. But it is not reality, and life is too short and hard enough. Take care of yourself and love yourself and don't give any fucks about fads and beauty standards that aren't real and are meant only to oppress us as women. Learn to value and take care of your health. That is what is truly important. Glad that you have healed a lot in your journey. Here's to more healing in the future, for you and all of us women!
HOW BEAUTIFUL IS MARGO ROBBY IN PERSON??
Your skin is glowing what skincare products do you use? ✨
You are so beautiful! I wait for your content ardently ❤
It’s an amazing thing that pink no longer just symbolises hyper feminism and a femme fatale but is now a colour in its own right; feminists can and do wear pink!
I love you sm❤
Hi Ro, I enjoy watching your videos.. I tried reading up on PTSD and links to EDs. I am just not quite understanding..i was hoping you’d clarify how this began, did you always have this ptsd problem or did it arise once you recovered from the ED? I am trying to educate myself further. Thank you for sharing your personal challenge
You are doing awesome❤🙏🏽!
ily ro
I’m glad you are doing well!
Sometimes I didn’t have energy to eat or take a shower after therapy. You are doing a great job!!!
I can’t understand what you are talking because of all the acronyms…but I understand it might be something difficult for you to speak and that’s the reason why you don’t speak the whole words.
thank you! which acronyms didn’t you understand? i can try explain :)
I watched it again. I think I understand it now.
CBT is probably cannabis used as medicine?
NHS is National Health System?
I’m sorry. I got overwhelmed because I thought I wouldn’t be able to understand.
Thank you for your kind reply!
@@monicas2461CBT is cognitive behavioural therapy. A type of therapy used to change unhealthy thought processes.
you're so beautiful 🫶🏽 like if sling by clairo was a person
